Meyer Sound Callisto 616 Speaker Audio Processor

Meyer Sound Callisto 616 Speaker Audio Processor

The Galileo Callisto 616 array processor is an elegant hardware and software solution for driving and aligning Meyer Sound loudspeaker array systems. The 2-space, rack-mount Callisto 616 includes six inputs, 16 outputs, and a fully digital matrix processor. The accompanying Compass®control software provides comprehensive control of all parameters from a Mac® or Windows®-based computer.

Features:

• Six inputs (analog, AES/EBU, or mixed) and 16 analog outputs with full matrix mixing and routing for driving systems of any size
• Robust +26 dBu outputs easily drive Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker systems over long cable runs
• A/D/A conversion with 24-bit resolution at 96 kHz; digital inputs converted to 96 kHz sample rate
• Monolithic 1 GHz vector DSP architecture
• Internal processing performed at 96 kHz, 32-bit floating point resolution with fixed latency across all output channels
• Delay integration for M Series line array loudspeakers
• Atmospheric correction filters
• U-Shaping equalization and 10-band parametric filtering yield corrections with minimal impact on phase response
• Simultaneous low- and high-pass filters
• Up to 2 seconds of delay on inputs and outputs
• Front-panel LED ladder meters on inputs, presence/clip LEDs on outputs, and illuminated mute switches
• Ethernet connection for remote control from Mac and Windows-based computers running the Compass control software
• Direct connection to Meyer Sound’s SIM 3 audio analyzer
