So… what’s so smart about Sensus?

The fact is, Sensusis smart. In real time it predicts program content that will be troublesome for the codec, and by modifying it’s own algorithms can make appropriate changes to the program material before it ever reaches the codec!1 The result is consistently high audio quality through a codec-based system, even at very low (18kbps – 21kbps) bitrates.

The human voice is very difficult to code at low bitrates without quality and intelligibility suffering. But OmniaONE Multicast with Sensus→ can generate clean, smooth, crystal clear audio that’s consistently great sounding no matter what the codec or bitrate is.

--- Important Note ---

1It is extremely important to never directly audition the output of the OmniaONE Multicast for audio quality without the audio being first routed through a codec!

Why?

The processed output of the OmniaONE Multicast has been ‘pre-corrected’ for the characteristics of the following codec and because of this the audio may contain strange sounding artifacts that will imitate the ‘inverse’ of what that codec will do. Because of this the audio exiting the OmniaONE Multicast may be unpleasant to listen to and will certainly be inferior to that which will exit the codec later on.

In other words, what you hear at the output of the OmniaONE Multicast will bear no relationship to the audio quality that will be achieved after the audio has passed through the coding process!

Need a corollary to this?

It’s like trying to taste a pizza while still in the grocery store and staring at the raw ingredients that haven’t been purchased yet.

Thank you for selecting the incredible OmniaONE Multicast Audio Processor. Your continued patronage and support are appreciated.

Sincerely,
