Why separate voice processing matters:
Relying on the main audio processor to manage both voice and music often involves compromise. Omnia VOCO 8 is engineered to individually process and tailor each mic for maximum impact based upon the characteristics and unique properties of each speaker's voice. Each of the 8 available mics are networkable throughout an entire facility.
Quality first:
Each of the eight available mic channels in VOCO 8 offers a studio-grade pre-amp, phantom power, and controls for phase, pad and gain. The Sound4 processing engine features an advanced natural-sounding de-esser, a 3-band noise gate with ultra-fast attack that catches every syllable of even soft-spoken talent, a 3-band dynamics processor with Sound4's"HQ192"? algorithm, 4 bands of parametric EQ, and a brick wall final limiter.
So many mics, so much talent:
Dealing with multiple open microphones in the studio can be a headache. Every voice requires different processing and the sound can change as more mics are added. VOCO 8 effectively manages and balances multiple mics and even allows the primary talent's mic to remain dominant in the mix with the aptly named "Dominate It!"? feature.
Thoughtful, flexible and convenient:
Each announcer can have a dedicated preset with VOCO 8, and groups of presets can be combined into unique sessions for easy day-parting either manually or through your automation system. Since the presets are easily shared, voice talent can sound the same in any VOCO 8-connected studio.
The ins and outs:
Analog input and AES output are provided for each channel. An AES clock input (DARS) is also included. VOCO 8 is fully Livewire+ and AES67 compliant.
Taking control:
Talent can recall presets or sessions with a simplified remote interface. Full setup and control is available in an advanced-level remote interface. Basic configuration and preset selection is also available via a front panel LCD display.
