Buy Meyer Sound Galileo 616 Digital Array Processor | musicconcertevent.com
If you want to buy a Meyer Sound Galileo 616 processor at a price well below current secondary market rates, musicconcertevent.com has one unit available at €2,500. This unit comes from a permanent installation and carries a condition rating of 2 out of 10 for cosmetic wear, which in practical terms means near-perfect condition. It is ready to deploy into any Meyer Sound M-Series line array system immediately.
The Galileo 616 is the dedicated array processor for Meyer Sound self-powered systems including LYON, LEOPARD, LEO-M, and MICA. Because Meyer Sound systems are self-powered and require no external amplifiers, the Galileo 616 serves as the entire signal management backbone: routing, delay, equalization, atmospheric correction, and array compensation all live inside this 2U unit. For anyone running or planning a Meyer Sound system, this processor is not optional equipment. It is the central control point for the entire system.
What Is the Meyer Sound Galileo 616?
The Meyer Sound Galileo 616 is a 2-space rack-mount fully digital matrix processor with six inputs, 16 outputs, and comprehensive control via Compass control software from a Mac or Windows computer. It is also fully programmable from its front panel for maximum flexibility. It is designed as the perfect complement to Meyer Sound’s self-powered loudspeakers and includes array correction for M Series array loudspeakers, atmospheric correction filters, low- and high-pass filters for subwoofer control, and configuration presets for Meyer Sound loudspeaker systems of various types and sizes.
Operating with 96 kHz, 32-bit floating-point resolution, the Galileo 616 offers a wide array of processing tools on both its six inputs and 16 outputs, including extensive equalization, delay, and atmospheric correction filters.

What Is the Galileo 616 Used For?
The Galileo loudspeaker management system is a hardware and software system providing all of the facilities required to drive and align sound reinforcement systems employing multiple zones. It includes six inputs, 16 matrix outputs, fixed latency across all output channels regardless of processing applied, direct connection to Meyer Sound’s SIM 3 audio analyzer, digital implementation of popular Meyer Sound processing features including air absorption compensation filters and equalization from the CP-10, VX-1, and LD-3, presets for setups of Meyer Sound line array and point-source systems from small to very large, array compensation for Meyer Sound line array products, and Ethernet connection for remote control from laptop computers and wireless tablets.
In practice, every Meyer Sound self-powered system that involves multiple zones, array hangs, or multi-speaker configurations needs a Galileo 616 or its successor the Galileo GALAXY. You cannot properly deploy a LYON, LEOPARD, LEO-M, or MICA system without one.
Galileo 616 vs Galileo GALAXY: What Is the Difference?
| Factor | Galileo 616 | Galileo GALAXY 816 |
|---|---|---|
| Inputs | 6 | 8 |
| Outputs | 16 analog | 16 analog + network audio |
| Processing | 96 kHz / 32-bit | 96 kHz / 32-bit |
| Network Protocol | Ethernet (Compass) | Milan AVB network audio |
| Software | Compass | Compass via GALAXY |
| AES Output | 3 x AES (AES version) | Yes |
| Current production | No (superseded) | Yes |
| Use case | LYON, LEOPARD, MICA, LEO-M in standard deployments | Current M-Series deployments including PANTHER |
The Galileo 616 remains fully compatible with Meyer Sound LYON and all M-Series self-powered systems. If your system does not require Milan AVB network audio, the Galileo 616 handles every routing, processing, and alignment function you need at a significantly lower cost than the current GALAXY series.
Meyer Sound Galileo GALAXY and Galileo 616: Software Download
The Compass software for controlling the Galileo 616 is available as a free download from the Meyer Sound website. It runs on both Mac and Windows operating systems. Compass provides an intuitive interface to the Galileo 616 loudspeaker management system for 96 kHz/32-bit resolution signal processing across six inputs and sixteen outputs, with direct connection to the SIM 3 audio analyzer for complete measurement and control of complex audio systems.
The Galileo GALAXY uses an updated version of Compass that is also a free download from Meyer Sound. Both software versions run on the same platform but target their respective hardware generations.
