Omnia® XII, the newest, most powerful audio processor yet from Omnia Audio, is the result of years researching how to help FM, HD Radio and DAB broadcasters win listeners with distinctive, compelling audio that satisfies both the need for competitive loudness, and the desire for clean, clear, engaging audio. Read on for an open letter from Frank Foti, Omnia's founder (and Telos Alliance Executive Chairman of the Board) to radio pros and audio lovers worldwide.

Hello!

It's my privilege to tell you the exciting news about Omnia XII, which is both a labor of love and the culmination of considerable effort from a dedicated and loyal team of experienced broadcast professionals.

You know, many years ago, our first processors grew from ideas I had been crafting since the mid 1980’s in the engineering shop at Z-100 (WHTZ-FM), in New York City. That signature ‘sound’ on 100.3 FM was the genesis for what became The Cutting Edge Vigilante, and even today, it represents the foundation of what Omnia processors have become. Each of our products have been refinement of a processing philosophy that not only ruled NYC back in the day, but still rules the airwaves in the world’s number one market today! Omnia XII carries this legacy forward, and we are very proud to share it with you now.

Omnia XII is the result of contributions from multiple crew members, not just me. The architecture of this processor was developed by a team that not only fully understands the "sound" of Omnia, but also understands the requirements of today's ultra-competitive radio marketplace.

I’m excited by the way this team collaborated to craft a new approach to the dynamics sections inside Omnia XII. Coupled with our new "back end" limiting system, it represents a fresh step forward in delivering quality audio – along with a competitive signature. Along with this are all the utilities today's broadcasters demand, riding on a powerful technical platform that will remain viable for years to come.

In listening to Omnia XII, I’m humbled more than you may understand. Reason being: there is a little bit of numerous processing "get it guys" inside this box, and I want to dedicate it to them, because their influence upon me and our company helped shape what you’ll hear. Unfortunately (and it’s heavy on my heart), all but one have passed on, but their own legacies live on with us – and now with Omnia XII as well. So, to the souls of Jim Somich, Glen Clark, Matt Conner, Gary Blau, Jim Loupas, and my brother-from-another-mother, Steve Church, this is for you! I also wish to thank Mike Dorrough for his inspiration over the years. There’s a bit of each of those folks, as well as the legacy of Z-100, inside what Omnia XII has become. And I'm certain you'll hear it, too.

Carry on….
