Omni Pre-Amp Gain Not Working
Just trying to find out if my problem is actually a broken preamp or a normal Avid "issue".
So my Omnis's i/ps all work (mic/line/1/2), all sound fine but are stuck at their lowest gain. Turning up the gain rotary encoder increases the numbers but doesn't affect the gain. Theres no distortion, and the signal is fine I just can't increase the gain. Have tried resetting a few times, but no luck. Hardware or software? If hardware I assume it's a repair job. |

Re: Omni Pre-Amp Gain Not Working
Do I remember correctly that you have to push the GAIN knob(like a button) to assign it to the desired input to adjust? Maybe search youtube and see if there are any tutorials on using the OMNI(that might show something you missed)

Re: Omni Pre-Amp Gain Not Working
Thanks for the reply. I should point out it has been working fine both on P1 & P2, and the rotary encoder for the gain is working fine, but suddenly half way through a session, the actual gain in the unit dropped to it's lowest level and can now not be adjusted for both sides and for any ip (i.e. mic / line / inst).

Re: Omni Pre-Amp Gain Not Working
Sounds bad. Have you contacted avid? My omni is really sensitive to heat. I have to keep my control room extra cold for my omni to clock correctly.

Re: Omni Pre-Amp Gain Not Working
Thanks for the reply. Yes I was hoping it was a software thing that people have had, but from the lack of replies it looks like a hardware gain issue which probably means something has blown on the analogue side of the mic amps. Very tedious. And the next stop is to talk to Avid and arrange a repair.

Re: Omni Pre-Amp Gain Not Working
Hey howardb, I know it's been a LONG time. Any luck with your Omni? Mine has been doing the same thing for about the past 6 months. Stuck in the lowest possible level, the gain number on the display goes up but nothing changes sonically.
