Omnia XII

Built for stations that demand control, musicality and on-air presence, Omnia XII combines advanced processing and intelligent tools to deliver a more impactful, balanced and competitive sound.

Omnia XII Front Transparent2

Omnia XII is Telos Alliance’s new flagship Broadcast audio processor, designed to help radio stations stand out with stronger, cleaner and more engaging sound. Built on a completely new architecture and equipped with advanced processing tools, it gives broadcasters greater control over their on-air sonic signature. The result is more consistent audio with presence, clarity and impact, helping reinforce the station’s identity and improve the listening experience. Whether for music, news, sports or talk radio, Omnia XII was created to turn technical performance into a real connection with the audience. It is a solution built for broadcasters that want to raise the quality of their on-air sound and stand out in an increasingly competitive market.

Main features

• Completely new processing architecture

Omnia XII features a completely new generation of AGC, compressors, limiters, dynamic EQ and advanced bass management tools for greater control over the final on-air sound.

• Clemenza final clipper

It includes the new clipper developed by Frank Foti, created to deliver more loudness and control without adding aggressive distortion or listener fatigue.

• Fast adjustment with Omnia QuickTweak

QuickTweak tools allow multiple related parameters to be adjusted simultaneously, speeding up processing fine-tuning and simplifying technical work.

• Connectivity ready for different workflows

The processor provides analog, AES3 and composite I/O, as well as support for Livewire+ AES67, linear MPX over IP and optional µMPX encoding.

• Integrated resilience and redundancy

Omnia XII includes redundant power supplies, relay bypass, automatic failover, backup audio playback and an architecture designed for continuous operation with greater reliability.

Main benefits

• Stronger, cleaner and more engaging sound

Helps create a more distinctive sonic signature, with presence, clarity and musicality, capable of enhancing the broadcast and reinforcing the station’s identity.

• More on-air impact without compromising listening comfort

The combination of the new processing and the Clemenza clipper makes it possible to increase sonic impact while maintaining a more natural result that is less fatiguing for the audience.

• Greater flexibility in shaping the station’s sonic signature

It offers the freedom to build a more open and natural sound or a denser and more aggressive one, depending on the station’s positioning and format.

• Faster fine-tuning and more efficient operation

It makes the work of technical teams easier by reducing the time needed to reach the desired result, without sacrificing detailed control.

• A more future-ready investment

With a significantly more powerful CPU and a modular architecture, Omnia XII was designed to accommodate improvements, new features and emerging workflows without requiring immediate hardware replacement.

When the goal is to sound different, the technology must be different too

With a completely new processing architecture, the Clemenza clipper and the QuickTweak system, Omnia XII was created to give radio stations a stronger, cleaner and more distinctive sound, with real control over their on-air sonic signature.
