FM De-emphasized L/R is suitable for monitoring only. Feeding to a stereo
generator which provides pre-emphasis will work, but it WILL cause overshoots and you
WILL lose loudness. The Omnia.9 should be the ONLY device providing the FM Pre-
Emphasis. Any pre-emphasis in the FM Exciter/Transmitter should be defeated).
