History

Guess it can be said that audio has always been in his life from the beginning! From a humble start in Cleveland, Ohio, founder Frank Foti of Omnia Audio (formerly Cutting Edge Technologies) began his business life by modifying audio processors on an artist drafting table given to him, by his mom. That first product, the Vigilante, enabled radio stations to "Start Taking Hostages" as they dominated the dial in their respective markets. Those early efforts in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Cleveland, ignited a ground-swell about a new secret box, which propelled the company forward.
Today, Omnia Audio is the renowned worldwide leader in more than broadcast audio processing. While FM, AM, TV, satcasters, and netcasters all benefit from Omnia Audio's ongoing efforts, the company has been, and remains, strong in audio innovation. They have been a strong proponent to bring discrete surround sound to radio, and were very influential in the development of processing algorithms enabling low bitrate audio to be used in multimedia.
Recently, they have teamed up with another bunch of "go-getters"...Linear Acoustic, and together they are conquering the world of DTV audio. Additionally, what was once the processing mind of just Frank Foti, has now grown into a tremendous team of energetic developers and engineers, all of whom have one goal in mind...to bring the best sounding audio to the world over.

The spirit of our company can be understood by reading Steve's introduction to a recent company catalog:
It has to be said that broadcast engineering offers its practitioners a mixed bag. There are no fixed hours, the work is never done, and often not fully appreciated. Being on call 24/7 takes a toll. It’s no road to riches. So why do we do it?
