Configuring the Galileo 616 for Analog Audio Input
Determine the maximum signal level beforeconfiguring the Galileo. Selecting an input voltage
rangethat is too low can result in increased noise levels depending on your power and grounding
infrastructure.+20 dB is mainly for Studio applications, +26 dB is for all other types of
applications.
1. Select the [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Input and Output page.
2. Clear Enable Linking AcrossSelected Galileos to avoid configuring other Galileos.
3. Set Input Channel Typesto Analog for the appropriate input channel pairs.
4. Select the appropriateInput Voltage Range for the input source.
Configuring the Galileo 616 for Digital Audio Input
Note that AES connections aremade to ports A, C, and E. The companion ports (B, D, and F)
must be left unconnected.
1. Select the [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Input and Output page.
2. Clear Enable Linking AcrossSelected Galileos to avoid configuring other Galileos.
3. Set Input Channel Typesto AES for the appropriate input channel pairs.
AES input does not requireselecting an input voltage range.
Configuring the Galileo 616 Audio Outputs
The adjustable output range providestwo level output settings to drive Meyer Sound
self-poweredproducts. 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 groundingsystem. The actual improvement attained depends on the quality of
the groundingbetween components. For this reason the default setting is +26 dBu.
In either setting, the digital gain will compensate for either analog output gain setting, so that
the overall system output level set in the Galileo will remainthe same.
