The Omnia VOLT HD PRO is a powerhouse in audio processing, designed to cater to the demands of HD Radio, DRM, DAB, web streams, and various other compressed media formats. Let’s delve into its features:
Features:
- Sensus Processing for Digital Program Streams:
- Exclusive algorithms predict and mitigate distortion caused by digital compression, enhancing sound quality even at low bitrates.
- Switchable Bandwidths:
- Choose from eight bandwidth options (4 kHz – 24 kHz) to optimize multiband processing frequencies and limit high frequencies for cleaner signals across different distribution mediums.
- Crossover System Optimization:
- The crossover system is fine-tuned for various narrow-band options, ensuring all five bands of processing are utilized effectively within bandwidth constraints for maximum performance.
- Look-Ahead Wideband Limiter:
- Alongside five fully adjustable band limiters, this feature guards against quick transients that could introduce distortion, maintaining a consistent and clean sound.
Additional Specifications:
- Frequency Response:
- Users can select flat, 50 µs, or 75 µs pre-emphasis curve within ± 0.50 dB, spanning 30 Hz to 15 kHz.
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio:
- Offers superior audio quality with over 95 dB analog and over 120 dB digital signal-to-noise ratio.
- System Distortion:
- Maintains distortion levels below 0.01% THD within the 20 Hz – 7.5 kHz range, ensuring pristine audio output.
