Product Overview
Our First Fully Networkable Loudspeaker Processor
Galileo GALAXY harnesses open-source AVB technology to extend a new level of audio control in driving and aligning loudspeaker systems with multiple zones. It provides a powerful toolset for corrective equalization and creative fine-tuning, in a full range of applications from touring to cinema.
Industry's Best Processing Tools Elevated
Building on Galileo’s meticulously engineered algorithms, Galileo GALAXY retains users’ favorite processing tools, including the patented five-band U-Shaping and parametric EQ, while adding a new crosspoint delay matrix feature and improved delay integration. Three versions are available for different configuration needs.
Sound Performance Second to None
A new generation of FPGA-based processing with up to 64-bit resolution delivers increased dynamic range, a lower noise floor, and super-low latency of 0.6ms analog in to analog out.
Digital network platform for aligning and driving multi-zone sound systems. Full control of all audio parameters including routing, gain, EQ, filters, delay, and polarity. Available in three models with different configurations of analog and digital inputs and outputs. Integrates with SIM audio analyzer and RMS remote monitoring system via included Compass control software.
