Please post your opinions if you are currently using this processor.thanks
 
After a day of testing the Omnia.One I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. We are a NCE 30 miles south of a major market.

Air Chain:

BSI Automation w/ ASI audio card (music library is linear PCM normalized)
Wheatstone Board
Compellor (bypassed during testing)
Omina One / 03 Turbo
BE FX 50 Exciter

(TX is in the same building as studio)


Here's a quick run down of my observations:

-- TCP/IP remote control rocks!! I was able to sit in my truck outside the studio and control it with my laptop using our wireless LAN. Just assign the "ONE" an IP address and you're off and running.

-- The factory presets are definitely a starting point and are set pretty conservative (except the Cosmic preset). Increasing the drive to the WB AGC, the 4 band ACG, and limiters brings the factory presents up to a competitive level.

-- I liked the bass clipper which falls directly after the low band limiter and before the final mixer, this made processing heavy hip hop tracks a bit easier than on the Omnia 3 Turbo.

-- Compared to the 03 Turbo, the "One" was more open and took less use of the clipper to make it sound competitive.

-- The "One" was better on dry voice than the Turbo. I'm not sure if the WB AGC was designed differently on the "One" but DJ voices are less harsh on the factory presets.

-- I raced both processors for loudness, the "ONE" won hands down.

-- I like the ability to adjust the overall drive to the 4 band AGC and Limiters with one control (one for AGC and one for limiters) in the crossover section (kinda less or more ish)


-- I haven't had a chance to play with the clipper silk yet, I kept it set "as is" for the preset during this initial test.

-- I would like to have the option to dim or turn off the blue LED level meters on the front of the processor. This sucker lights up the TX room when the lights are off.

-- I found the RocknRoll preset the most versatile and appropriate for our variety format. I increased the density a bit and increased the high end slightly.

Overall, the Omnia.One has impressed the heck out of me. It sounds better and louder than the "8400" that the commercial classic rock station is running up the street.

Now, if we had the budget for Axia that would be cool.
 
Amazing review.Priced like a Kia ,sounds like a Lexus.This will be a HOT unit.Hope Frank didn't build it too well so it won't cut into the Omnia 5 or 6 sells.a software update could take care of the light, but heck what a great night light it makes.thanks for your review.
 
No Problem..

The Omnia.One is a great box, but it still will not catch the Omnia 6 that a local Hot AC is running. The "ONE" is loud, very loud, I could not get the Omnia 6 "depth" out of it. It is a very competitive box, but it's not an Omnia 6..
 
I don't know, mine is right there with the $10,000 boxes ;D

I really like the 4 band structure. I do agree with the poster above that the Rock N Roll preset is the best of the factory offerings. I may get into sharing some presets with users, what does everyone think?
 
always game for your presets Golden Ears...maybe TJM might be a player too.
 
Is there a latency to listen to the output signal of the Omnia ONE? I mean analog (XLR) output or BNC, so I can listen with headphones out of any tuner. The XLR output is the most important option to do that.

Thanks and regards,

No, it is not noticable. I have not heard any complaints from our air staff. The DJ's headphones are fed directly off air.
 
Can someone post a piece of audio to hear how it sounds ? I know this can't really show the full potential of a processor, but that's just to listen to what it can do.

Thx

Ask in the thread "processing clips" if someone wants to record a clip for you.
Anyhow, i would like to hear it over the air instead of a prerecorded wav/mp3, you would too i think.

Hi,

we have received our Omnia One Multicast. It will be on air soon on a webradio. I'll tell you when !

If you want to listen live (better than a clip hey): http://194.158.114.66:8000

This is an Omnia One running in FM mode on a webradio. We are currently working on it, so this is not the _final_ preset.

If you have any remark, just mail me. Thank you.

JDC. :)

No Unity anymore on Frequence3? This Omnia One sounds very flat and dry to me at the moment.

Not anymore. We are still working on it, so stay tuned!
 
The Omnia with Sensus is the best I've heard on the net. Incredible tech, the Omnia can really stand out for streaming. If it's too flat, I would take a look at the settings again.
