 Omnia Audio is receiving praise from all quarters for the new Omnia-3fm Turbo, an enhanced audio processor that builds on and enhances the proven capabilities of the well-known Omnia-3fm. The new “Turbo” software provides broadcasters with even more control and dial presence, while maintaining the audio purity competitive broadcasters demand.

 In a significant addition, Omnia-3fm Turbo now sports a three-band AGC section that conveys a larger, warmer sound in the lower frequencies while maintaining the open, natural texture of the high end. The resulting segment-to-segment quality is smooth and even, giving broadcasters a signature sound imbued with even greater spectral consistency. And a selection of convenient factory presets help broadcasters get up and running in the shortest time possible.

 “We love the controls! Omnia-3fm Turbo is so smooth. We have a soft rock format, and the Country preset with a few adjustments works perfectly for us. You can really hear the difference the three AGC bands make,” says David Hood, Chief Engineer at Emmis Broadcasting's WENS-FM in Indianapolis.

 But power, clarity, and convenience are only part of the package. Broadcasters also agree that the Omnia-3fm Turbo also gives a great “bang for the buck”; Peter Stewart, a contract engineer in Akron, Ohio, says that “the Omnia-3fm Turbo is a great processor for the money.”

 Stewart also sings the praises of the Omnia-3fm Turbo compared to more costly processors, adding “It definitely gives you enough power to compete loudness-wise with the bigger, more expensive boxes. Jazz, classical and other ‘purist’ formatted stations may find it a perfect fit.”

 Omnia-3fm Turbo includes many features not found in other products in its class, including:

• 48kHz sampling with an adjustable, over-sampled three-band limiter and new three-band AGC section.
• A unique and technologically advanced multiband limiter that employs a feedback configuration for low and midbands, with high bands utilizing a feedforward design.
• A wide range of factory presets specially tuned to take advantage of the powerful processing capabilities found in Omnia-3 processors. These format-specific presets help users get up and running quickly.
• Renowned Omnia Bass Management controls.
• A flexible remote software application that can connect via serial, or optional modem or Ethernet ports.
• A highly advanced, distortion-canceling composite clipping stage will make your signal clean, clear and loud.
• A removable PC Card storage system that makes it easy to share, store and retrieve favorite settings.
• An integrated, near-theoretically-perfect digital stereo generator.
• Full-featured I/O with standard analog and AES/EBU inputs and outputs.
