Omnia.9 FM AM Radio Broadcast Audio Processor.


The Omnia.9 FM processor boasts simultaneous separate processing cores for FM and Optional HD, delivering superb audio punch, power and clarity in a 3-RU rack unit. Among its many features is exclusive "Undo" technology, a source declipping algorithm and program-adaptive multiband expander that removes distortion from source material, correcting over-processed CDs, so common in today's contemporary music.

Main Features:

  • - Simultaneous separate processing cores for FM and (Optional) HD1, HD2 and HD3.
  • - Each processing core is separately fully adjustable and has selectable 4, 5, 6 or 7 bands
  • - Psychoacoustic Composite Embedder allows up to 140% audio peaks in stereo at 100% total modulation.
  • - Contains exclusive "Undo" technology, a source declipping algorithm and program-adaptive multiband expander which removes distortion from source material. This corrects over-processed CDs, so common in today's contemporary music.
  • - Multiband downward expansion (source noise reduction)
  • - 3-stage wideband AGC with adjustable sidechain equalization
  • - Program-dependent multiband compression
  • - Multiband look-ahead limiting
  • - Adjustable dynamic bass clipping (future feature)
  • - Selectable phase linear high pass filter, 15, 30 or 45 Hz
  • - (For Digital) Two-band final look-ahead limiting
  • - Selectable phase linear (high latency) or low latency (talent air monitoring capable) modes
  • - Fully automatic program-dependent declipper and multiband expander for damaged content such as loud CDs
  • - Optional streaming encoding built in for Primary Digital (HD) and Secondary (HD2) and Tertiary (HD3). Supports encoding to MP3 (Mpeg-1 Layer 3), MP2 (Mpeg-1 Layer 2), AAC, HE-AAC (including RTSP/3G for streaming to mobile phones), Ogg Vorbis, WMA and WMA Pro.
  • - 7 inch front panel touch screen
  • - Full remote control.
  • - On-screen keyboard with several layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Dvorak and ABC sequential) for easy setup and preset name typing
  • - Optional RDS encoder, dynamically updateable
  • - Selectable SSB (Single Sideband) stereo encoder
  • - HTTP push support for automation, such as dynamic RDS and streaming song titles, preset recall
  • - Dayparting (scheduled preset selection) (future feature)
  • - Studio Output with very low latency for talent monitoring
  • - Dual independent power supplies
  • - Composite pass-through (relay bypass) for your backup processor
