Crown Broadcast Adds Omnia Processing

Omnia will make a digital audio processor designed to integrate with a line of FM transmitters produced by Crown Broadcast.
The collaboration was settled during the recent NAB convention and announced by Frank Foti of Telos Systems, which makes the Omnia line, and Barry Honel of Crown Broadcast.
Honel also is familiar to broadcasters as former vice president of Texar. He approached Omnia with the idea and said it will make for louder, cleaner Crown transmitters.
The companies said on-board processing will give technical advantages such as improved audio resulting from ultraclose coupling of processor and exciter, and the convenience of integrated remote controls for transmitter and processor.
The processor will be contained on a card that plugs into the chassis of Crown Broadcast FM-Series radio transmitters.
