♦ Variable Deep Bass, Phat Bass, and Warmth enhancers. Get that meaty Omnia sound,
fine-tuned the way you want.
♦ Bass Pre-Clipper. Fully adjustable with Tightness and Girth controls. You’ll have strong,
listener-pleasing bass without worrying about intermodulation distortion.
♦ Clipper Silk adjustment. If your format is prone to treble distortion, you can add just
enough Silk to clean up those high frequencies.
♦ Variable high-pass and switchable phase rotator. Special processing in VOLT’s input
makes sure that ultra- low frequencies, too low to be perceived as bass by listeners, don’t
rob you of on-air power.
♦ Stereo Enhancement for FM Analog, without adding multipath. You’ll get a wider, more
exciting signal that jumps out of the radio.
♦ Automatic mono “dry voice” sensing. Ideal for FM Analog Stereo stations using extreme
processing: it keeps an extra hand on the clipper, to stop distortion when the L+R channel
gets boosted by mono signals.
♦ Adjustable low-latency FM signal path lets you fine-tune the tradeoffs between processor
latency and ultra-high quality.
♦ Adjustable BS-412 Threshold and Processing for full compliance with ITU standards.
♦ Advanced single sideband suppressed carrier processing [SSBSC], for reduced multipath
and more robust HD transmission.
♦ “One Louder” stereo pilot embedding gives you the effect of 10% more modulation…
without exceeding legal limits!
♦ Narrow or wide bandwidth helps get the fullest AM signal for your format.
♦ Additional Pre- and post-limit HF equalization lets you add “life” to any AM station’s
sound.
♦ Asymmetrical modulation for maximum AM power.
♦ Adjustable Tilt compensation to improve your signal when using older plate-modulated
transmitters.
♦ Multiple selectable bandwidths for digital data streams. More than simple low-pass filters,
HD Pro also modifies the VOLT’s crossover to get the best results for any bitrate.
♦ Sensus
®
processing for digital program streams. Omnia’s exclusive Sensus algorithms
actually predict how HD, DRM, or multicasting data reduction will affect your sound. They
pre-condition your signal, making digital compression sound better—even at low bitrates.
♦ Some of the features above are designed for specific transmission media. That’s one of
the reasons we give you separate firmware for FM Analog, HD/DAB/streaming, and AM
Analog
1
. This separation lets us allocate processing power where it’ll do the most good.
1 SSBSC and “One Louder” are available only when VOLT is being used as a standalone stereo generation at the
transmitter.
