Broadcasters have known for years that Omnia Audio processors deliver sound that's stunningly clear, clean and loud. That's why top stations use them to win ratings wars and increase listenership.

So it was no surprise when friends from the recording industry asked us about developing an Omnia for the demanding requirements of CD mastering studios. And so we have.

Omnia-6cd is a 96 kHz, 24-bit processing platform which employs a unique final limiter specially designed for Compact Disc mastering. This special limiting architecture eliminates the processor-induced aliasing distortion often generated when processing for a “hot” sound. It also provides precise peak control so that mastering can be done at 0 dBfs.

Applying lessons learned in broadcast processing, the Omnia development team devised a unique final limiter especially suited to the needs of the mastering environment. Using Omnia-6cd, harmonic energy from the clipping process is controlled and managed in the final limiter's filtering process, giving recording engineers the ability to master “hot” while avoiding offensive aliasing products.

Omnia is a pioneer in the field of digital audio processing, and Omnia audio processors were the first digital systems to offer an alias free clipping method that also controls harmonic distortion (THD). Using an innovative proprietary method, this system yields added perceived loudness yet retains the punch and clarity that is desired by so many producers and engineers in the broadcast and recording fields.

Omnia. When it has to be loud and clean.
