realize that in our business today, time is a precious commodity. But please don’t try to install the Omnia-
6fm in between other major projects or during the week your boss or your assistant is on vacation. Make
certain in advance that the staff members who helped you set your objectives will be available to consult
with you when you adjust the processing parameters.

How much is enough time? We feel that working with a system for at least a week is a good starting point.
We don’t suggest that you drop everything for a solid week. What we do recommend is that you install the
Omnia-6fm during a week when you can spend a few hours per day on the project.

The Adjustment Procedure
1. Review your objectives.
2. Once on the air, start with a degree of processing that is similar to that currently used by your
station and then, if desired, become more aggressive. A careful approach is less likely to draw
hasty, or even negative, opinions.
hasty, or even negative, opinions.
3. Listen for awhile, then adjust, and listen for awhile again. Try to avoid the temptation to
continuously “fiddle” with adjustments, just moments after getting the system on the air.
Remember that you should evaluate the operation over time, not moment to moment! When it is
time to adjust, the Preset Worksheet we've provided can assist in tracking your progress and
establishing improved settings of operation unique to your stations.

4. While making changes to the system, we recommend that you do not make hasty or radical
changes. Also, do not make too many different adjustments all at once. If too many parameters
are changed at one time, it is hard to determine which change made the difference you may hear.
That can be frustrating, whether the change made your station sound better or worse. Take your
time. In order for you to become comfortable with your new sound, you should learn the limits of
each control. We suggest making changes in increments of no more than +0.5 dB or - 1 dB, or in
1 or 2 step increments. Try turning different functions on and off. Working this way, you will be
able to get a better feel for the sound that the Omnia-6fm is capable of producing on your station
and with your programming.

5. Use the “sleep on it method:” Spend time adjusting and then listening, and when the system gets
to a point where it sounds good, stop! While making changes to processing, there does come a
time when the ears become less and less sensitive to the adjustments you're performing. Ears tire,
and that's why spreading the adjustment period over a number of days is recommended. If what
you've done still sounds good after you have “slept on it,” stop adjusting. If you're not quite there
yet, continue with small iterations until you’re satisfied. If you are homing in on your goals, you'll
find that each day the discrepancies become smaller and you’re making fewer adjustments.
