Information on when the built-in bypass relays operate and what gets connected to what when they do.
Omnia.9 contains a relay-bypass feature that allows unprocessed audio to pass directly through the unit toprevent complete loss of audio (dead air) any time the software is not active. This includes when the unitloses power, is in the start-up process, or must re-initialize its software after applying certain user-initiatedconfiguration changes.Normally this is not an issue. However, in certain situations - for example, if you have a CD player connectedto the analog inputs and an amplifier or speakers connected to the analog outputs - this means the inputand output will be directly connected with no attenuation whatsoever, resulting in fried speakers (oreardrums). It also means that if you are using your unit as an A-D converter or as a way to distribute differenttypes of IO, bypass may break the connection.When engaged, the bypass relays hard wire the following inputs to outputs:Analog In > Analog OutMain Digital In > Main FM Out 1Aux Digital In > Aux OutMPX In 1 > MPX Out 1MPX In 2 > MPX Out 2Obviously, there is no relay bypass for Livewire AoIP inputs and outputs.
