Omnia Audio Omnia.11 - Manual (Page 62)

46
The Window function (also in the Advanced tab) provides a "dead band" area for the wideband AGC. If you set it
at -2 dB for example, you're telling the wideband AGC that if the source material is within 2 dB of the target level,
do nothing. This will allow 2 dB of natural level variation in the audio, which is nice for keeping the Omnia.11
from over-processing already dense material.
The lower you set the number (say, from -2 dB to -6 dB), the more variation in programming levels you're allowing
through...and the more "relaxed" the audio sounds. See the Basic and Advanced tab sections below for more details.
Wide Band AGC Metering (Summary Tab)
Touch the Wide Band icon button to enter the metering and menu screens for the Wideband AGC.
The WB AGC meter indicates gain-reduction from the top down in dB. The Stereo Enhance meter indicates the
amount of activity in the stereo enhancer from the bottom up.
Gating activity is indicated by a bright yellow outline (Gate Indicator) around the blue gain-reduction meter. The
gate indicator will show more gating activity than you may be used to in conventional processors, but this is normal!
The Omnia.11’s “smart” windowed gating algorithm will control levels over a wide 30dB+ range and can choose to
do nothing when appropriate as well as increasing or reducing gain.

Wide Band AGC (WB) (Basic Tab)
The Basic tab here includes not only the adjustments for the WB AGC but also for the Omnia.11’s Bass and Stereo
Enhancement functions.
Touch the WB submenu button and then the Basic tab to access the basic controls for the Wide Band AGC.
