Can't speak for the Orion but as to the Omni VII, there is a hardware gain that may need to be adjusted. If your DSP mike gain is running at 30% or less then I suggest that you reduce the hardware gain. Good and healthy DSP mike gain value is in the 30% to 50% range. If you should overdrive the input stage, pre DSP gain, then any distortion generated in the 1st stage will be passed along and no amount or reducing the DSP gain will clear the distortion.

Check the mic gain. The Orions, Omni VII, and Jupiter will overdrive and it sounds exactly like RF. Your ALC should only flicker on some words. Check the menu to make sure the menu mic boost was not accidentally increased.
