CHAPTER 2: COMPASS OVERVIEW

In this chapter you will learn how more about the types of tools Compass provides you, as well as gain some insight into the relationship between Compass and Galileo.

Compass Capabilities

Compass provides comprehensive control of the Galileo 616 through a graphical user interface running on a remote computer.

Compass is the primary method of operating the Galileo loudspeaker management system. The software enables easy access to all Galileo features and even provides control of multiple units. Compass includes a context help system, full copy and paste of all settings and groups of settings, and multiple levels of undo. The tabbed interface can be scaled to any display resolution and the colors can be configured for either day or night. Windows and Mac OS X versions have the same user interface so that switching between platforms is completely transparent.

A sophisticated channel linking system allows multiple input and outputs, even on multiple Galileo 616s, to be linked so that parameter changes can be applied to all linked channels. Relative gain mode allows gain changes to linked channels while retaining gain differences between linked channels.

The EQ Plotter window includes an overlay display of the applied CP-10 and TruShaping equalization, for both amplitude and phase, in a single editable window. Equalization parameters can be edited directly by simply dragging EQ points in the display, or by entering values numerically for greater precision.
