Limiter Drive

Limiter drive is where the loudness versus quality is most evident. This limiter’s adjustment range is +/-3
dB, in 0.1dB steps. It is advisable to make minor changes, primarily as the ‘loudness fine tuner’.

Note:

The limiter drive provides significant power adjustment to the overall signal.

Output

The peak output level adjustment is done using the individual left and right output controls. The control
range is from –26dB to +6dB of gain. This level is normally set to the maximum input level, or just below it,
of the device that the Omnia F/XE is connected to.

Output Filter

For webcasting applications, especially at lower bitrates, it is sometimes desirable to reduce the audio
bandwidth. This is particularly useful if you are using a low cost sound card to feed and external encoder as
the filtering in many sound cards in inadequate. A pull-down menu provides eight different filter response
curves that can reduce the spectrum down to 4kHz.

Bypass

The processing can be bypassed simply by clicking on the

bypass button located in the lower right hand

corner of the processing panels. This is a simple and fast method to compare the before and after effects of
the processing.
