Meyer Callisto AES 6-IN 16-OUT Digital Array Processor w/ 9-16 Analog Outputs

E-CODE: B6003-

Product Details

Galileo Callisto 616 AES

The Galileo Callisto 616 AES primary array processor is an elegant hardware and software solution for driving and aligning Meyer Sound loudspeaker array systems. The 2-space, rack-mount Callisto 616 AES includes six inputs, 16 digital outputs with 8 mirrored analog outputs, and a fully digital matrix processor. The accompanying Compass® control software provides comprehensive control of all parameters from a Mac® or Windows®-based computer.

Callisto 616 AES is optimized to be a mastering tool that makes it easier to manage loudspeaker systems and shape overall system response. The U-Shaping® equalization comprises five bands with adjustable slopes, widths, and gain. Five bands of complementary phase parametric filters are available on each output. An additional five bands of parametric filters as well as standard TruShaping® equalization are available on each input.

Equalization parameters are easily edited in the Compass control software, with numeric entry or by graphically dragging frequency bands. Parameters can be adjusted while viewing multiple layers of equalization in a composite graphic plot to achieve the ideal equalization curve. The Compass software’s intuitive user interface is the culmination of Meyer Sound’s extensive experience optimizing complex loudspeaker systems.

The Callisto 616 AES features full digital operation with fixed latency across all output channels regardless of any applied processing. It can also be connected directly to the SIM® 3 audio analyzer, providing complete measurement and control for integrated audio systems.

Features and Benefits:

Six inputs (analog, AES/EBU, or mixed) and 16 digital AES3 (two channels per output; 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and so forth) outputs with full matrix mixing and routing for driving standard Callisto 616 array processors
16 digital AES/EBU outputs and robust 26 dBu analog outputs to easily drive Meyer Sound self-powered loudspeaker systems over long cable runs
A/D/A conversion with 24-bit resolution at 96 kHz; digital inputs converted to 96 kHz sample rate; digital outputs at 96kHz
Monolithic 1 GHz vector DSP architecture
Internal processing performed at 96 kHz, 32-bit floating point resolution with fixed latency across all output channels
Delay integration for Meyer Sound line array loudspeakers

Atmospheric correction filters
U-Shaping equalization and 5-band parametric filtering yield corrections with minimal impact on phase response
Simultaneous low- and high-pass filters
Up to 2 seconds of delay on inputs and outputs
Front-panel LED ladder meters on inputs, presence/clip LEDs on outputs, and illuminated mute switches
Ethernet connection for remote control from Mac and Windows-based computers running the Compass control software
Direct connection to Meyer Sound’s SIM 3 audio analyzer
