[BC] Processing (WAS:Collins 300-G pictures)

[Bailey, Scott]

Willie,
   You can reduce the bass, but you can't turn it all the way off with
an Omnia 3.  It's still way too strong for an old Collins box like that.
I would just use a little EQ box with an Inovonics 222 for processing
with that old Collins.

Wait a sec... as configurable as modern processing boxes are these days,

doesn't the Omnia 3 have settings you can use to reduce that bottom end?
I would 
think that it does. There should be no problem making it produce the
sound you 
want, while also reducing that low-end.

I remember our old box hated bass. It sounded terrible. I was able to
improve 
the sound by reducing the bass. When we got the new Harris (and a new
Optimod 
with it) the difference was like night and day.

Willie...
