INPUT CONNECTORS (FROM CONSOLE)
Analog Inputs
Connections from analog sources, including analog mixing consoles, will be made via the six
XLR-3F connectors labeled A through F on the left side of the rear panel. The six analog inputs
are electronically balanced, and feed state-of-the-art A/D converters operating at 24-bit reso-
lution at a 96 kHz sample rate. Within the System Settings window of the Compass control
software, the Input Channel Types will be set to Analog (the default setting). These connectors
will accept signal levels up to +26 dBu at the default setting, and can also be set to +20 dBu.
NOTE: The adjustable output range provides two level output settings to drive
Meyer Sound self-powered products. The +20 dBu output range setting lowers
the overall noise floor by nearly 6 dB. However, this setting makes the Galileo output
signal more vulnerable to defects in the overall grounding system. Thus the actual
improvement attained depends on the quality of the grounding between components.
For this reason the default setting has been changed to +26 dBu. In either setting, the
digital gain will compensate for either analog output gain so that the overall system
output level set in the Galileo will remain the same.
