Page 12: Galileo Loudspeaker Management System
The system consists of: ■ Galileo 408: A fully digital matrix processor with four inputs and eight outputs. Designed as the perfect complement to Meyer Sound’s self-powered loudspeakers, Galileo includes array correction for M Series™ array products, presets for Meyer Sound systems of various sizes and types, and digital implementations of technologies used in Meyer Sound’s groundbreaking analog processors and line drivers.
Page 13 ® ■ Compass control software: Provides comprehensive control of the Galileo 408 through a graphical user interface running on a remote computer. The software enables easy access to all Galileo features and even provides control of mul- tiple units. Compass includes a context-sensitive help system, full copy and paste of all settings and groups of settings, and multiple levels of undo.

AC Power LED: Indicates when the Galileo 408 is receiving AC power. GALILEO 408 REAR PANEL The Galileo 408 rear panel includes four audio inputs and eight outputs, a SIM 3 bus connec- tor, and an Ethernet connector for communicating with a computer running the Compass con- trol software.
Page 18 Output Connectors (1–8): Eight XLR-3M connectors for connecting to Meyer Sound self- powered loudspeakers, or to power amplifier channels driving passive loudspeaker sys- tems. Any signal routing and processing stored in the Galileo 408’s project file is applied to these outputs.
Page 19: Chapter 3: Connecting The Galileo 408
Pay close attention to these important electrical and safety issues: ■ Make sure the AC power cable has the appropriate power plug (on the other end) for the area in which you will operate the Galileo 408. Always use a grounded outlet and plug. ■...
Page 20: Remote Computer Connection
CHAPTER 3: CONNECTING THE GALILEO 408 REMOTE COMPUTER CONNECTION The Galileo 408’s RJ-45 port connects to a standard Ethernet port with a shielded Cat-5e cable. The Ethernet connection allows the unit to be controlled remotely from a Mac or Windows computer running the Compass control software.
Page 21: Input Connectors (From Console)
Input Voltage Range can be set to either +26 dBu (the default) or +20 dBu. In addi- tion, inputs A and C can be configured as Analog or AES. The Galileo 408’s input meters on the front panel indicate levels for both analog and digital signals.
Page 22 AES/EBU digital signals are connected to the XLR-3F input connectors labeled A and C on the Galileo 408 rear panel. Standard stereo AES/EBU digital audio signals at sample rates up to 96 kHz are supported. The Galileo 408’s input meters on the front panel indicate levels for both analog and digital signals.
Page 23: Output Connectors (To Loudspeakers/Arrays)
24-bit D/A converters. These outputs have the same line-driving capabilities found on Meyer Sound’s analog line drivers, delivering signal levels up to +26 dBu. The Galileo 408 can easily drive Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeakers to full output at all frequencies, even over lengthy cable runs.
Page 24 The Galileo 408 rear panel includes a bus for direct connection to the SIM 3 audio analyzer. Once connected, the Galileo 408 can act as a line switcher for the analyzer and be used to measure across any selection of inputs and outputs.
