Omnia VOLT Overview
Nobody knows processing like Omnia…
For more than thirty years, we’ve been at the front of broadcast audio processing. In that time
Omnia has earned a reputation for market-leading loudness and a clean, undistorted on-air
sound.
…and nobody knows broadcast DSP like Telos
We’ve also been Digital Signal Processing pioneers, introducing the first DSP-based Telephone
Talk Show system, the Zephyr ISDN codec, and the first all-digital FM airchain processor.
And we’ve continued to lead, with Axia—the first AoIP audio and control networking system de-
signed specifically for broadcasters, with our ground-breaking Voltair watermark enhancement
systems, with our Linear Acoustic loudness and surround management products, and more.
Though it all, we’ve maintained one goal for Omnia: to apply cutting-edge technology, giving
your station a competitive, exciting, market-leading sound that gets and holds listeners.
Now, with Omnia VOLT, we’ve gone even further!
We’ve rewritten the rules for broadcast DSP, fine-tuning our algorithms to bring you:
♦ Unprecedented processing power and sound in a one-rack-unit package,
♦ Easy setup without sacrificing your ability to customize exactly the sound you want, and
♦ Future-proof versatility.
Omnia VOLT is… a signal that jumps out of listeners’ radios. With the pristine, warm
Omnia sound broadcasters love.
♦ A new generation Frank Foti-designed Clipper for stronger on-air sound without grunge.
♦ Six Separate AGC Sections: One wideband, plus five separate time-aligned narrow band
sections, each with separate controls for every important parameter. Plus a tunable mid-
band crossover. Give your station the loudness and consistent sound you want!
♦ Five Separate Time-Aligned Limiter Sections, each with separate Drive, Hold, Threshold,
and Attack/ Decay controls. They give you protection against over-modulation while
maintaining a loud signature sound.
