Galileo GALAXY 408

About the Galileo GALAXY 408

The Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY 408 is a sophisticated loudspeaker management and audio processing system designed for professional audio applications. It features a 96 kHz audio processing sample rate with 24-bit A/D and D/A converters and 32-bit floating point internal processing. The processor provides four inputs (A-D) that accept analog, AES3, or AVB signals, and four additional inputs (E-H) that accept AVB signals only. It has 24 AVB unprocessed matrix inputs and 24 outputs: outputs 1-8 can be analog or AVB signals, while outputs 9-16 are AVB only. The device includes powerful input processing tools such as gain, delay (up to 500 ms per input), 5-band parametric EQ, and 5-band U-Shaping EQ. Output processing features include gain, delay, polarity reversal, 10-band parametric EQ, 5-band U-Shaping EQ, Low-Mid Beam Control, atmospheric correction, and simultaneous high- and low-pass filters. The built-in summing and delay matrices allow flexible routing and delay alignment for complex loudspeaker configurations. It supports direct connection to Meyer Sound's SIM audio analyzer via a SIM bus port for streamlined measurement and control. The unit is rack-mountable (1RU), measuring 19" wide, 1.74" high, and 16.14" deep, weighing approximately 13.2 lbs (6.0 kg). It operates on 100-240 VAC power with low current draw and is designed for operating temperatures from 0° to 45° C. Control is provided via Ethernet with Meyer Sound's Compass software or Compass Go app for iPad, enabling intuitive system tuning and management. The GALAXY 408 is part of Meyer Sound's GALAXY family, known for FPGA-based processing with low latency and high dynamic range, making it ideal for complex, multi-zone loudspeaker systems and immersive audio experiences.
