How should the Input Levels on my Omnia be set for best performance?

With normal program audio, the Input Gain Master should be adjusted so that the input bar graph meters are hitting from about -15 to –12 dBFS on regular peaks or a little higher. These are true peak-reading meters and will not read correctly on steady-state tones.

Once set properly, you should see about 10 dB of gain reduction on the WB AGC gain reduction meter with normal program audio at your 0VU reference. It is normal for the WB AGC gain reduction meter to continue to show gain reduction even when the WB AGC section is bypassed.
