Meyer Sound galileo 616 Series Line Array Correction, Configuring M Series Array Correction

CHAPTER 3: USING COMPASS TOOLS

M Series Line Array Correction

Array correction applies an EQ curve that is dependent on both the loudspeaker model and the number of loudspeakers in the line array. As line arrays become longer they also become more directional in the lower frequencies. Array correction controls this low- and mid-low frequency emphasis. Up to eight unique configurations (type and size) of Meyer Sound M Series arrays can be controlled by a single Galileo 616.

NOTE: Bypassed buttons in the Output Processing pages do not affect array correction.

Configuring M Series Array Correction

This setting assumes the output channel(s) on the Galileo 616 unit are connected to a Meyer Sound M Series curvilinear or line array. Array Correction allows you to assign pre-configured EQ correction to the channels to compensate for low-frequency build-up related to the length of the array.

1.Select the [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Array Correction page.

2.Provide an identifying name for the array and change its status to Enabled.

3.From the Type selector, select one of the Meyer Sound M Series line array systems: M1D, M2D, MILO®, M3D®, Mica, or M'elodie.

4.In the Size box, or using the rotary encoder beside it, set the number of cabinets in the line array. An array may have up to twenty-four cabinets.

By selecting Type and Size, the appropriate equalization curve is ready for use with output channels.

NOTE: While only a single row needs to be defined for each unique (type and size) array configuration, it is often conceptually easier to create an entry for each line array separately. The end result is the same, but the naming and visual separation of channels can help illustrate important information as you continue to develop snapshots.

If all your line arrays are identical in type and size, you can define a single instance of that array and assign all appropriate output channels to it.
