Are Omni Analog ins calibrate-able?
 
I can't find specs or info about the analog ins on the Omni. Can the input be trimmed to achieve, say, 0VU = -18dBFS or -20dBFS as on my 192s? Does the input, instead, have a fixed calibration; something usually awfully un-pro like 0VU=-14dBFS?

Kind of a big deal, purchase-wise, thanks.

Manual states:
"
Reference Level
Select the appropriate Reference Level for each of the four analog input channels. Input operating levels are switchable between +4 dBu and -10dBV operation."

Manual is downloadable from Avid site.

Thank you, but that's not at all what I'm asking. This is a question for anyone who has ever set a calibration level between the analog and digital domains. If you grew up under digital only you'll not likely know what I'm talking about. It's an important issue because it affects how hot you record digitally relative to your analog signal chain.

I can see the unit doesn't possess cal trim pots like the 192 or HD I/O, but perhaps they are addressable in software or via the front panel. The outputs can be trimmed over a range of 40dB, so it's a fair question.

I think I got my answers:

Sadly no.

Better info.

Is anyone at Avid able to chime in as to the factory-set calibration for the Omni's analog inputs?

Yes - the Omni line inputs are calibrated to -20.

The good news is that is what I would calibrate them to in any case. Very sensible!
