Integrated Desktop Audio Station, with a basic description of their function.

More detailed descriptions of the Omni components and the basics of operation

follow.

4.1 Front Panel

1. Mic/Instr Inputs 1 & 2: These dual function Neutrik connectors accept either

a male XLR plug for the low impedance microphone inputs, or 1/4” TS

phone plugs for the high impedance instrument inputs. These are the inputs

to the Omni pre-amps.

2. “Pad” Switch: This is a 20dB gain reduction switch. When pressed and

locked to the in position, the corresponding mic or instrument signal,

whichever is in use at the time, will be trimmed by 20dB. Gain reduction is

bypassed when this switch is in the out position.

3. Signal/Clip LEDs: The “Signal” LED, when lit, indicates the presence of a

signal at the Mic/Instr Inputs 1 & 2, whichever one is in use. The “Clip”

LED will first light when a signal reaches 2dB below clipping.
