Meyer Sound Galileo 616 Speaker Audio Processor

The Galileo loudspeaker management system is an elegant hardware and software solution for driving and aligning multi-zone loud-speaker systems. The 2-space, rack-mount Galileo 616 includes six inputs, 16 outputs, and a fully digital matrix processor. The Compass®control software provides comprehensive control of all parameters from a Mac® or Windows®-based computer. The Galileo 616 is also fully programmable from its front panel for maximum flexibility.

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
• Array correction for M Series line array loudspeakers
• Atmospheric correction filters
• Patented TruShaping equalization and parametric filtering yield corrections with minimal impact on phase response
• Low- and high-pass filters
• Up to 2 seconds of delay on inputs and outputs
• Configuration presets for Meyer Sound loudspeaker systems
• Ethernet connection for remote control from Mac and Windows-based computers running the Compass control software
• Front-panel operation for standalone control
• Full bidirectional communication with computer ensures parameter settings are always in sync
• Direct connection to Meyer Sound’s SIM 3 audio analyzerbands
