Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY 816-AES3 Processor

The Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY 816-AES3 is a professional audio processing and loudspeaker management processor designed for high-performance sound reinforcement systems. It is suitable for touring productions, concert venues, theatres, festivals, installed sound systems and professional audio rental companies that require precise control over loudspeaker signals.

Designed for integration with Meyer Sound systems and compatible audio networks, the GALAXY 816-AES3 combines digital audio processing, signal routing, equalisation, delay management and AES3 connectivity in a rack-mounted unit. Its processing tools help audio engineers optimise system performance for different venues and production requirements.

Professional Loudspeaker Management

The Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY 816-AES3 provides tools for managing and optimising loudspeaker systems. Engineers can adjust input and output levels, apply equalisation, configure signal delays and manage routing to suit the requirements of a sound system.

These features are useful when aligning loudspeaker arrays, configuring subwoofer systems and coordinating different loudspeaker zones. Proper system configuration can help achieve consistent coverage and balanced sound throughout a venue.

The processor is designed to work with Meyer Sound loudspeaker systems, while its flexible routing and processing capabilities also support integration into suitably configured professional audio systems.

AES3 Digital Audio Connectivity

A key feature of the GALAXY 816-AES3 is its digital audio output configuration. The processor provides 16 AES3 digital outputs and eight analogue outputs, with analogue outputs 9–16 available alongside the corresponding digital output paths.

Its eight inputs can accept analogue, AES3 or compatible AVB audio signals, depending on the selected configuration. This flexibility allows engineers to integrate digital mixing consoles, networked audio equipment and other supported signal sources.

The unit also includes a BNC word-clock input for external clock synchronisation. When building a digital audio system, verify sample-rate compatibility, clock settings and the connection requirements of the other devices.

Advanced Audio Processing and Equalisation

The Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY 816-AES3 operates at a 96 kHz processing sample rate with 24-bit analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion.

Input processing includes gain, delay, five-band parametric equalisation and five-band U-Shaping EQ. Output processing includes gain, delay, polarity reversal, ten-band parametric EQ, five-band U-Shaping EQ, Low-Mid Beam Control and atmospheric correction.

High-pass and low-pass filters provide additional control over the frequency range sent to different loudspeaker components. These tools can help engineers optimise system response and configure crossover behaviour as required by the loudspeaker design.

The built-in summing and delay matrices allow input signals to be routed to multiple outputs with independent gain and delay adjustments.

AVB Networking and System Integration

The GALAXY 816-AES3 supports AVB audio networking through its Ethernet network connections. It can exchange audio with compatible networked devices and be controlled over a suitable network.

Meyer Sound’s Compass Control Software provides tools for routing, processing, system optimisation and monitoring from a compatible Mac or Windows computer. The Compass Go application provides mobile control from a compatible iPad, while Spacemap Go supports spatial sound design workflows on supported GALAXY platforms.

These capabilities make the processor suitable for installations and touring systems where network-based control and audio distribution are important.

Rack-Mounted Design for Professional Audio Systems

The Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY 816-AES3 uses a standard 2U rack-mountable enclosure. Its format makes it suitable for integration into equipment racks used by touring companies, venues and system integrators.

The processor uses a PowerCON 20 AC power connection and supports an operating voltage range of 100–240 V AC at 50–60 Hz. Its rack-mounted design allows the unit to be installed alongside compatible audio processing and networking equipment.

Before installation, check rack space, ventilation, cabling and the power requirements of the complete system.
