Everyone knows that two of something are better than one. So you'll be pleased to hear that Omnia-5EX HD+FM is twice as sweet as other FM audio processors, with two simultaneous audio processing paths – one for FM, and another for HD Radio, DAB, satellite, or network streaming.
After AGC, audio is routed to separate, dedicated output stages. The FM section has Omnia's famous distortion-controlled high precision final limiting with the required 15 kHz response. The HD / DAB section has an all-new look-ahead final limiter with selectable frequency response that goes all the way to 20kHz. This unique parallel processing structure future-proofs your processing. Whatever your needs – FM, HD, DAB, or streaming – Omnia-5EX is ready to serve.
The Omnia's 48kHz base sampling rate (and 768 kHz internal sampling) provides clean limiting and clipping on FM, and full 20kHz response for HD Radio and DAB. Omnia makes the world's only combined processors capable of delivering 20kHz response for digital transmission.
And Omnia-5EX HD+FM contains new processing enhancements that result in more bass punch, and more vocal clarity... more exciting and captivating than ever. So powerful, musical, natural, and free of artificial constraints, you’ll crave it the first time you hear it.
Omnia-5EX HD+FM users enjoy a host of refined features, including:
- Powerful new processing algorithms that provide crystal-clear processing for solo voices and instruments. Legendary Omnia loudness can now be advanced to even greater competitive heights – with even less distortion.
- Omnia’s renowned Bass Management controls, with two new Bass Limiter functions, "Tight" and "Girth", which give users fine control over low frequency processing.
- Dynamic Bass Limiter algorithms that change waveform characteristics based upon frequency, resulting in deeper bass on smaller speakers, and fuller, richer, and cleaner low-end sound overall while audible IMD on stringed instruments and vocals is reduced.
- A wide range of factory presets specially tuned to take advantage of the powerful processing capabilities found in Omnia-5EX processors. A variety of format-specific presets help users get up and running quickly.
