M-Audio Omni Studio

I’m the proud owner of an M-Audio Omni Studio. When I went to find an official page for this product the other day, I was unable to. It occured to me, that unless someone establishes a permanent record of the product, some information may be lost forever. So here we have this page. More will be added to this page over time.

M-Audio Omni Studio

The Omni Studio was sold as a package of the M-Audio Delta 66 PCI Sound Card, and the Omni Input/Output Integrated Desktop Audio Station.

Delta 66

About the Delta 66 Digital Recording Interface

The Delta 66 functions as a 6-input, 6-output digital recording interface. Four analog inputs and outputs plus coaxial S/PDIF IIO give you the highest quality digital I/O available – all up to 24-bit data width and any sampling rate from 8kHz to 96kHz. Connect a line-level signal from your instrument, mixer, or pre-amp to the Delta 66’s TRS jacks on the break-out box. Match the operating levels of your input and output signals using the +4, ‘Consumer,’ or -10 signal level software switches. Record a digital audio signal from your DAT, MiniDisc, CD, or external AID converter via the Delta 66’s S/PDIF input located on the PCI Host card.

Control all routing and hardware settings with the Delta’s comprehensive control panel software.

Within the Delta 66’s PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer. Controlled by the included Delta Control Panel software, it may handle all of your routing needs, give you extra control of all left, right, and stereo levels, in addition to control of pans, solos, and mutes.

Features

  • 6×6 24-blt/96khz full-duplex recording interface.
  • PCI host card with external break-out box.
  • 4×4 analog I/O accepts balanced or unbalanced connections on 1/4″ TRS jacks.
  • Analog I/O configurable for +4dBu, Consumer, and -lOdBV signal levels.
  • Analog dynamic range exceeding 103dB.
  • All data paths support up to 24bit/96kHz performance, no upgrades necessary.
  • Comprehensive digital mixing, routing, and monitoring capabilities with included Delta Control Panel software.
  • Hardware sample-accurate sync will allow linking of multiple Delta units (expected November 1999).
  • Windows 95/98 multi-card drivers with ASIOI and ASI02 multi-card, GSIF and EASI drivers included; Windows NT multi-card and Mac OS drivers with ASIO 1&2 also included.

Omni Input/Output

Theory of Operation

A recording console performs two functions. It routes the signal you are about to record, providing the ability to pre-amplify and shape that signal before it gets to the recording device. At the same time, it handles all playback, allowing you to mix, add an effect, and monitor your recorded signal as well as “virtual” MIDI keyboard tracks.

The Omni I/O performs these tasks. The Omni, in conjunction with a Delta 44 or Delta 66 PCI Interface and your PC or Macintosh computer, adds the functionality of a recording console in a desktop unit. The Omni I/O is modeled after what is known as a “split console” design, where the recording and monitoring sections function independently.

Two high quality M Audio Mic/lnstrument pre-amps are routed to the Delta’s analog inputs 1 & 2. The level that you record is controlled by the Omni preamp’s independent gain controls in conjunction with the +4/ -10 operating level that you select in the Delta Control Panel. An insert jack added to the record path allows you to process the signal with outboard gear, should you choose to.
Line inputs 3 & 4 give you a total of 4 direct analog inputs to the Delta card from the Omni.

You’ll use your music software and the Delta Control Panel to make routing selections for recording and monitoring your audio tracks. Audio tracks are routed from the Delta card to a mixer that is built-in to the Omni, which combines the four Delta analog outputs with four auxiliary stereo inputs and one stereo effects return for the equivalent of a 14 channel mixer. One effect send is provided on each of the Delta output’s mixer channels. The “aux inputs can be used to monitor MIDI instruments as “virtual” tracks, and then route those instruments to the line inputs for easy recording without repatching.

This ultra-quiet Omni mixer, with extremely wide frequency response, gives you control room outputs and two headphone outputs, all with independent level controls. A separate “mix” out provides an independent feed to your mixdown deck. Ultimately, your individual and master volume levels will be controlled by your music software and/or Delta Monitor Mixer, and therefore can be saved into the computer’s memory for each recording project.

The Omni I/O takes advantage of computer-based recording and combines it with proven M Audio pre-amp and mixer technology to bring you an extremely powerful desktop recording solution. Incorporate your existing gear, or do all of your sounds and effects right inside the computer. Either way, the Omni I/O can ultimately handle all of your signal flow from tracking to mixdown.

Features

Recording Section

  • 2 Mic/Inst plus 2 line level balanced/unbalanced analog inputs to the Delta 44 or Delta 66 soundcard.
  • The Omni’s two Mic/Inst inputs are equipped with XLR phantom power, insert I/O jacks, individual gain controls, gain reduction “pad” switch, and signal/ clip indicator LEDs.
  • Low impedance mic inputs provide 66dB of gain and utilize M Audio’s critically acclaimed DMP2 pre-amp technology. They are switchable to hi-impedance instrument inputs with 46dB of gain, ideal for electric/ acoustic guitars.
  • The Omni Mic/Inst pre-amp has a frequency response of 10Hz to 200kHz, low THO of .0009%, with a dynamic range of 130dB.
  • Stereo effect return.

Mixing Section (all balanced/unbalanced on TRS jacks)

  • The Delta analog outputs feed the Omni I/O ultra-quiet mixer, with the addition of 4 stereo aux inputs for MIDI devices and 1 stereo effects return.
  • The 4 Delta analog outputs can simultaneously be used as independent balanced/unbalanced direct outs for additional effects sends, alternate mix outputs, or feeds to a secondary mixer.
  • Stereo Aux inputs 1 and 2 can be muted in the mixer and re-routed to the Delta line inputs for easy audio recording of MIDI instruments or other auxiliary inputs.
  • Mix out for recording to a mix deck.
  • Control room outs with independent level control for monitoring.
  • Two headphone outputs with individual level controls.
  • One mono effect send per Delta channel.
  • L/R output signal / clip LEDs.

  24. Sport wagering market looks to protect itself

    16 September 2010

    By Bill Wilson

    Business reporter, BBC News

    Betting on sport is big business.

    Sport England estimates the value of spending on sport-related gambling in England grew from ? 1.7 bn in 1985 to ? 2.8 bn in 2008.

    And that figure is likely to have grown further, with an approximated ? 1bn bet on the World Cup alone in the UK this summer season.

    Meanwhile, German research study firm Sport & Markt approximates the total worldwide betting market will deserve 263bn euros (? 220bn) by 2012, with much of that driven by internet and sports gambling.

    But when the stability of events are struck the gaming market suffers, and incomes are put under hazard if consumers can not wager with confidence.

    And there can have been couple of higher-profile sport wagering stories than those impacting cricket and snooker this year.

    High-profile

    As Sport & Markt’s Gareth Moore observes: “Everyone talks about the sports gambling market now.

    “Not only is it a significant market in world service, it is one that is now on the front pages of papers.”

    Four Pakistan cricketers have been questioned by police over spot-fixing allegations associating with a test versus England at Lord’s last month.

    Three of these players have actually stated they will likewise challenge the corruption charges installed versus the trio by the sport governing body the International Cricket Council.

    Meanwhile, three-times snooker world champ John Higgins was cleared of match-fixing allegations, however was prohibited last week for six months for failing to report the unlawful technique to him to throw frames.

    There are likewise two other continuing investigations – not related to Mr Higgins – into snooker.

    ‘Honest’

    David O’Reilly is legal counsel for Betfair, among the UK’s greatest online sporting exchanges.

    “If the sport is perceived as truthful, straight and fair that is great for wagering companies due to the fact that individuals will spend money wagering with self-confidence,” he states.

    “If you take the Pakistan claims, although unassociated to the UK managed wagering market … it is not actually a favorable story for betting in the UK.

    “That is since the understanding is that ‘cricket is now something we might need to take care about’.”

    ‘Education’

    So what can be done to prevent future scandals?

    According to experts at a World Sports Law Report conference into sports gambling, the focus has to be on sportspersons and sportswomen.

    As Simon Taylor of the Professional Players’ Federation points out: “The only individuals who can fix a match are the rivals or the referee.”

    His organisation represents males and females in 15 sports in the UK, being an umbrella organisation for all gamer organisations, such as the Professional Footballers’ Association.

    He thinks that it is insufficient to merely have deterrents, sanctions and disciplinary treatments, but that the way to take on possible concerns around gamers is also through education.

    Mr Taylor says guidelines require to be described clearly to gamers with clear examples, and by individuals they appreciate.

    “Through informing gamers about sports betting you reinforce integrity and that remains in everybody’s interest,” he includes.

    “If players are more difficult to corrupt then sport will be harder to corrupt.”

    ‘Brand damage’

    Matt Johnson, head of regulatory legal recommendations at the Football Association, concurs.

    “Prevention is much better than treatment, and we also make a point of telling gamers ‘you are going to be caught’.”

    “It is important that sport is straight, and is seen to be directly,” he adds.

    “If it loses that then people don’t desire to wager, that is not in gambling firms’ interests, and it is not in our interests.”

    He stated that as soon as a good track record was lost, the damage to a sport was “incalculable”.

    FA rules mean players are not allowed to wager on a competitors in which they are included.

    Mr Johnson says players have actually to be seen not to be cashing in on any inside knowledge, which he states might trigger “brand damage” to football and its competitors.

    So, even a Second Division gamer knocked out of the FA Cup in the fall can not wager on a Manchester United v Chelsea cup final the following spring.

    “We need to get over to gamers the reputational threat to the video game,” he says. “Once self-confidence has been damaged it is tough to get it back – mud sticks.”

    ‘Overwhelmingly legal’

    If this represents the “carrot” technique, then possibly Nick Tofiluk, director of policy at the Gambling Commission, represents the “stick”.

    The Gambling Commission was set up under the Gambling Act 2005 to manage commercial gambling in Great Britain.

    An ex-chief constable of West Midlands cops, Mr Tofiluk has obligation for policing all betting in the UK apart from spread betting, which is the remit of the FSA.

    “The frustrating majority of sports wagering taking location through UK operators is legal and reasonable,” he states.

    “But for some there is the temptation to … corruptly disrupt the result of a sporting occasion.

    “Such unfaithful has the potential to undermine the integrity of a sport, and it likewise damages the business interests of sports bodies and sports betting.”

    The commission has actually established an internal Sports Betting Intelligence Unit to get and disseminate information to sporting authorities, wagering companies and policing authorities.

    “Since 2007 we have experienced a considerable insight into world of corrupt sports wagering,” he says.

    “We will inform sports of our concerns, to assist avoid or cut [unlawful] activity”

    In May 2010, the commission likewise presented a personal telephone hotline for those with information or suspicions.

    ‘Vulnerabilities’

    But in a two-and-a-half year period there has actually been simply one criminal prosecution, a 24-year-old male who was cautioned for cheating in relation to greyhound racing.

    However, Mr Tofiluk says there are still eight continuous investigations, which much helpful info has also been passed to sports authorities.

    He stated that where an investigation by a sport governing body was quicker, and more cost effective, then the commission would consider stopping a criminal investigation “in favour of letting sports governing bodies take the lead”.

    Meanwhile, he says much of those looking to cheat the sports wagering market were knowledgeable about sports and sporting people, and about betting operations and the movement of money.

    “They look for the vulnerabilities of these to help in their business.”
