How much time delay does my Omnia have? (not counting the Diversity Delay in the EXi styles)

For the original Omnia.FM/HOT, Omnia-3, Omnia-5EX, Omnia-6:  The short answer is "Not enough to drive your DJ's crazy!"

We have measured the delay from the input to any output at approximately 9 ms on the Omnia-6 EX. (the Omnia-3 and OmniaONE will be somewhat less and the Omnia-6 EXi slightly more) This is enough for a slight voice-character coloration to be audible to the person speaking, but not enough to be a problem for talent monitoring off the air.

After adjusting this setting, most talent gets used to the "new sound" within a few breaks.</p>

Note: If there is additional delay added to the air chain, such as from a Digital STL (especially a codec based STL), the cumulative delay may become excessive and cause discomfort for the on-air talent. Real-world tests have determined that a slight echo may begin to be heard at about 15 ms, and anything above 25-30 ms is usually too annoying to talent monitoring off the air.</p>

For the Omnia.11: The short answer is "Too much for your DJ's to monitor directly from the FM or HD channel outputs". About 30ms. BUT...The DJ's can use the special low-delay DJ output instead (depending on your system). This can be routed to any of the Omnia.11's outputs in the appropriate submenu of the Output menu.
