COMPASS USER GUIDE

frequency shaping curve is not the full story, however, so Compass’ filter display also shows the composite phase response.

A large library of presets is included for systems ranging from two small Meyer Sound loudspeakers all the way up to complex, multi-zone systems built around M Series line array products. No more building processing chains one block at a time; Galileo users can get right to the starting line and make modifications as needed from there.
