I have a question...
Does the O.9 use matrix processing (L+R and L-R vs L and R processed independently) like AM Stereo processors do?

No, Omnia 9 processes L and R as a stereo pair.

Love the very simple loudness meter on the Omnia 9...any chance that will be released as a free utility like Orban has just released? That would be a cool tool to compare the 9 to other processing sources.

When I started in radio in 1967, most broadcast equipment used tube technology, all recorded music was played from records on a turntable by live DJ's, there was no satellite delivery...and radio was fun.

That would be a cool tool to compare the 9 to other processing sources. If you are referring to the other processors, you can do that with the 9 itself... It has two composite inputs, so you can plug in two external processors, switch between them and the Omnia 9, as well as observe the spectrum (FFT), audio (scope, RTA) and R.128 loudness for all three. The 9 will also decode those MPXs, so you can listen and compare the two processors between them and the 9. That's the set-up we've recently used for the Omnia FM processor range presentation (One, 9 and the 11) and what we've had on the CABSAT show as well ( this photo, for some reason, received most likes on Facebook  ).

Regards, Goran Tomas The 9's no longer in my possession...it's been pressed into service. I was hoping to have that app on my PC and feed it from my frequency agile mod monitor to compare the competition. |

You can use Leif's MPX tool. It has the same loudness meter there too.

Any chance MPX Tool will find its way into the 11? I love the sound and texture of it, the 6 band limiter is stupid clean, but compared to the 9, and the AirAura it's rather skimpy on analysis/metering options. I hoping all that is coming in the next update? There's a lot of tabs that don't do anything on the 11.

I don't see it in the MPX Tool picture. The one on the 9 has a beautiful multi-color L and R horizontal bar graph with a single numerical number on the right side that shows the relative loudness--very simple. If it's on there, I'd like to pursue it. Can you confirm that it is there? Also, will this work with demodulated audio or do I need to have a sound card that can feed it with a composite signal? |

MPX Tool will be added to Omnia.11 in a later release. It's always been planned for. We've just released V: 1.1, and more of those tabs are now active. This release added a few more processing tools, refines a few algorithms, and brings more utility functions to life. -Frank Foti |

Frank, great to hear! Is this update going to be a download or swapping of the CF card again? I am currently running on 1.03 on two stations now.
