Meyer Sound Mastering Compass Tools: Access Control and Settings for Optimal Galileo System Performance

CHAPTER 3: USING COMPASS TOOLS

Restricting Access to Compass Settings

In some venues it is advantageous to permit “public” access to some Galileo functionality while restricting access to other controls. For instance, you may create several snapshots with control settings that vary to accommodate speaking voice amplification, singing voice amplification, and music amplification. It would be appropriate to allow the facility operator to select one of the snapshots, while denying changes to the channel controls. Access lock-out settings affect both Compass software and the Galileo front panel controls.

Locking Galileo Controls

1.Select [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Access.

2.Enable or clear the various control types. Users will have access to enabled controls only; cleared controls will be locked against value changes by the user.

Clear All may be used to lock all controls; Set All may be used to unlock all controls.

3.In the Access Code boxes, type three one- or two-digit numbers in the range 1 — 99. The value “zero” is reserved for removing the access code.

4.Click Change Access Code to lock-down the Galileo unit.

Unlocking Galileo Controls

1.Select [Galileo Unit] > Settings > Access.

2.In the Access Code boxes, type the previously-assigned access code.

3.Until such time as Change Access Code is clicked again, the unit is unlocked and all controls may be used

Changing Galileo Access Control
