Omnia ONE

W

wgliradio

According to an article in the new Radio Pipeline (a new suppliment to Radio Guide) the new Omnia ONE is shipping. No info on the Omnia website. Price is up to $2750 list. Was hoping to be able to get one (been selling some old Urei stuff on ebay to raise part of the cash.. gotta love the value that stuff still has today)

Ouch! Isn't the Omnia 3 Turbo list price $2999 ? I thought the Omnia One was going to be in the affordable range for small market stations - somewhere between $1200-$1800

At that pricing the DSPXmini is a much better buy at around $1795
 
are we talking about a rebadged o3t,but in a 1 ru chassis with fire wire added??sounds more like a mate for axia.and that 2795.00 instead of the 2k street price is a real bummer..makes the dsp-mini a even better buy..

Group,

I suggest that the group pass judgement *after* demoning the product. There is more to the Omnia.One than the group is assuming.

"Demoning" the product? Sounds like that's what some are doing already... ;)

Apparently it isn't shipping yet... It seems both O & O companies have serious time-management problems with announcing products and then taking forever to actually release it. I don't know if they do it on purpose or not, but either way I think it's counter productive. Hopefully this time it's because they're trying to squeeze more into the product then they originally envisioned.

Anyway, since Frank left us in the dark, who's in for the "I've heard" game? Hopefully nobody will conclude that delaying the product is actually good because users create buzz in anticipation ;)

So I've heard (unofficially of course) that it'll be very similar to Omnia-3, maybe even the pre-turbo version. FM version will have an HD path as well, not sure about AM but I'd expect the same. No PCMCIA cards any more (thank God). Only software download. Same platform for AM/FM/HD only different algorithm. Hopefully the hardware will be less quirky than the current line.

Hey Frank!!

I'd be interested in demoing one of those boxes for you! I'm running an Aphex 2020 right now...would love to see what this box could do for our 70's gold format.
 
The article states it is an upgraded version of the Omnia 3 turbo platform for FM. I figure the AM side is also upgraded. It's going to have the SENSUS tech built in, which does help bit reduced audio sound better (SENSUS type tech.. Orban has something like it as well.. could be the difference maker in sound quality for HD-AM if it is employed correctly).

It looks to me the box can do any one of these functions by possibly selecting them from a list. For instance, if you need it to be a spare at an FM plant one day, it can become an FM processor by selecting that from a list. The next day it could be an AM processor. The day after in a recording studio as a mastering processor or an internet processor. All this while not needing to load software from an external source.. all of it is internal and used in one mode at any time. That's my guess based on the fact that it is being called a "Swiss-Army Knife" of audio processors.

With all that, I can somewhat see a pricetag of $2750, even though I was hoping for something less. Perhaps that price will be set based on what modes are loaded in the box (IE: If you only need FM or AM... and not both... or just processing for production, the price may be lower). All of this is strictly a guess.

Group,

No one likes to delay the release of a product, and it's never planned for. The best we can do is shoot for a target date. The challenge is that we must deal with many vendors who promise us, or so they claim, that we will have components in a timely manner. As is the instance in most cases, it is a vendor who becomes the fly in the ointment. We can't ship product until we've got completed units. Right now, we're running about 4 weeks behind. No excuses.

The unit will have more horsepower than Omnia.3 FM Turbo. Anything that you've heard differently is nothing more than rumor.

Again, I suggest that you wait until it is available, have a listen for yourselves, and then offer comments.

On the Telos website, the omnia one is displayed between the other omnias.
again, on the omnia website it's still nog mentioned...

Is the "one" shipping already? ore can i get some more info about it?

The first units will ship later this month. I suggest you contact your local dealer, or our company directly for information.

i understand that the FIRST issue of the omnia one is a multicast version.is that correct and will it replace the other omnia 3 multicast?

Yes, the initial release will be for codec transmission, and soon followed up with FM-Stereo. Omnia.3Multicast will still be available. Omnia.One will actually offer more features.

I just love the new Omnia one advert in the mags! I had to send my secretary down to Ikea to pick up a picture frame so I could hang it on the wall. ;)
 
Hmm... The "small box, big attitude" motto does bare a lot of similarities to the BW's "small processors, big sound".

sounds like a omnia copy of not only your ad but your processor as well..you know what they say about imitation? a sincere form of flattery..i thought the omnia one fm version was going to be priced under 2 grand..

Ah...Truth be told, if anyone's carefully looked at the dspx, it's more so a clone of an omnia.
 
ah truth be told, you are so incorrect.dsp-x has single rack units long before omnia

Not talking about size of the unit, which DOES NOT effect the sound. Look at the system configuration, it's a clone of Omnia. They even use the same terminology as Omnia.

It's not about the physical size or what an advert sez, it's about performance.
