• The Input AGC features a fully-adjustable, 3-band Sidechain Equalizer, which allows you to make
it more or less sensitive to particular frequencies. When the controls are not set to cut or boost any
frequency, the Input AGC reacts to the full audio spectrum. When set to cut or boost a particular
range of frequencies, the Input AGC becomes less sensitive (cut) or more sensitive (boost).
In addition, an assortment of pre-configured filters are available, including a Low Pass Filter, a High
Pass Filter, a Band Pass Filter, a Notch Filter, a Low Shelf EQ, and a High Shelf EQ.
• The Type drop down menu determines what type of EQ or filter is employed.
• The Frequency slider is used to set the center frequency for each band. The range of this
control is 20 to 22,050Hz.
• The Width slider determines how much audio above and below the center frequency will also
be affected by any boosts or cuts in gain. The range of this control is 0.0 to 10.0 octaves in one-
tenth octave increments. Lower values provide a narrower (sharper) boost or cut, while higher
values provide a wider (gentler) boost or cut.
• The Gain slider determines how much the audio selected with a combination of the Frequency
and Width sliders is boosted or cut. Each band can be boosted or cut by 12dB in one-quarter
dB increments for a total range of 24db per band.
• Note: You can see a visual representation of the sidechain EQ curve in a display window
using Omnia.9/XE’s built-in RTA.
Wideband AGC1 Menu
The Wideband AGC1 menu provides access to the sidechain delay, maximum gain, maximum gain
reduction, ratio, attack, release, progressive release, target, gate threshold, freeze threshold, and three-
band sidechain parametric equalizer controls.
• The Wideband AGC1 Enable button enables this section, which follows the Input AGC section and
provides additional wideband compression as determined by its various controls. Disabling the
Wideband AGC1 also makes this patch point unavailable in an oscilloscope or RTA display window.
• The Bypass button removes the Wideband AGC1 compressor from the audio path, but its patch
point remains an available option for viewing on the oscilloscope or RTA via the Display Settings
menu.
