Meyer Sound Galileo Galaxy 816 AES3 Processor for Professional Audio
The Meyer Sound Galileo Galaxy 816 AES3 processor is a professional audio processing platform designed for detailed loudspeaker management, signal routing and system optimisation. Developed for demanding sound reinforcement applications, it is suitable for touring productions, concerts, festivals, theatres and professional audio installations.
Offered at €4,000 each, this processor is an option for audio rental companies, system engineers and production professionals looking for advanced Meyer Sound processing capabilities in a dedicated rack-mounted unit.
The GALAXY 816-AES3 combines analogue and digital audio connectivity with advanced signal processing, allowing engineers to configure compatible audio systems according to their operational requirements.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing
The Meyer Sound Galileo Galaxy 816 AES3 processor operates at a 96 kHz audio processing sample rate and uses 24-bit digital conversion. Its processing tools provide detailed control over signal levels, delay, equalisation, polarity and filtering.
Input processing includes gain, delay, five-band parametric equalisation and five-band U-Shaping equalisation. Output processing includes gain, delay, polarity reversal, ten-band parametric equalisation, five-band U-Shaping equalisation and high-pass and low-pass filtering.
These capabilities help sound engineers configure frequency response, adjust timing and manage signal paths for compatible loudspeaker systems.
AES3 Digital Audio Connectivity
A key feature of the GALAXY 816-AES3 is its digital output configuration. The processor provides 16 AES3 digital audio outputs, alongside eight analogue outputs corresponding to outputs 9–16.
Its eight inputs can accept analogue, AES3 or AVB signals, depending on the selected input configuration. This flexibility supports integration into professional audio systems using a mixture of analogue connections and digital audio networks.
The unit also includes a BNC word-clock input for supported external synchronisation configurations. This makes it important to verify the clocking and connection requirements of the intended system before installation.
Flexible Audio Routing and Matrix Processing
The Meyer Sound Galileo Galaxy 816 AES3 processor incorporates a summing and delay matrix that allows engineers to route and combine audio signals across multiple outputs. Gain and delay can be configured at routing cross-points, providing flexibility when building complex loudspeaker processing arrangements.
This architecture can be useful in touring systems, venues and installations where multiple signal paths require individual processing and careful alignment.
The processor also supports AVB network audio, enabling it to form part of a compatible networked audio system. Actual routing and connectivity depend on the configuration and equipment being used.
Professional Loudspeaker Management
The GALAXY 816-AES3 is designed to support professional loudspeaker system optimisation. Its processing functions include equalisation, delay, filtering, atmospheric correction and Low-Mid Beam Control.
These tools provide system technicians with options for tuning compatible loudspeaker systems, managing the relationship between output channels and adjusting the system for different acoustic environments.
Meyer Sound’s Product Integration tools can also assist with applying appropriate settings for supported loudspeaker models. Configuration should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and the requirements of the complete system.
Network Control and System Integration
The processor can be controlled using compatible Meyer Sound Compass software on Mac and Windows computers. Supported iPad control options include Compass Go and Spacemap Go, depending on the required workflow.
Its Ethernet network connections support control and compatible AVB audio networking. The unit also includes SIM bus connections for integration with compatible Meyer Sound SIM audio analysis equipment.
These features provide options for system configuration, monitoring and measurement in professional production environments.
Rack-Mounted Design for Touring and Installation
The Meyer Sound Galileo Galaxy 816 AES3 processor uses a 2U, 19-inch rack-mount enclosure designed for professional audio racks. Its front panel provides status information, input and output indicators and mute controls for practical operation.
The rack-mounted design is suitable for touring racks, professional audio equipment rooms and permanent installations where organised signal processing and system control are important.
Typical applications include concerts, festivals, touring productions, theatre sound, corporate events and fixed sound reinforcement installations, subject to compatibility with the connected equipment.
