GALAXY PROCESSOR REAR PANELS
The GALAXY 816 processor, the GALAXY 408 processor, and the GALAXY 816-AES3 processor have different rear panel
connectors.
GALAXY 816 Processor Rear Panel Connectors
The GALAXY 816 processor rear panel provides the following connectors:
•
PowerCON AC Power Connector: This locking connector mates with the provided AC power cable.
CAUTION: Make sure the AC power cable has the appropriate power plug on the other end for the area in
which you will operate the GALAXY processor.
NOTE: The GALAXY processor incorporates Meyer Sound’s Intelligent AC power supply, which automatically
adjusts to any line voltage worldwide, and provides soft turn-on and transient protection .
•
Ethernet Connector: The two RJ-45 connectors can be used to attach the GALAXY processor to an AVB network to
send audio signals through time-sensitive networks, and allow it to be controlled by Compass and/or Compass Go. Use
a Giga-bit Ethernet network cable (CAT5e or better). All Primary network connections should be made to AVB port 1 on
GALAXY processors. All Secondary connections should be made to AVB port 2.
•
Analog / AES3 Input Connectors (A, C, E, G): Four XLR-3F input connectors accept either a standard line-level analog
signal or an AES two-channel digital signal. In Compass (Settings > Input and Output), these inputs can be set to Analog,
AES3 Left or AES3 Right. Input Connectors B, D, F, H can only be used as analog inputs. The GALAXY processor
supports standard AES3 digital audio signals at discrete sample rates in the range of 20–216 kHz (see “Input Sample
Rates” on page 62).
•
Analog Input Connectors (B, D, F, H): Four XLR-3F input connectors accept standard line-level audio only. These
inputs are typically paired with their corresponding input pairs (A, C, E, G) to receive two-channel audio signals. The
analog-only inputs are disabled when their input pair is set to AES mode (i.e., when input A is set to AES mode, input B
is disabled).
•
Analog Output Connectors (1–16): Sixteen XLR-3M connectors route audio to Meyer Sound self-powered
loudspeakers or to amplifier channels driving passive systems.
•
SIM 3 Bus Connectors: Connects to the SIM audio analyzer so the GALAXY’s inputs and outputs can be used as
measurement points. A second SIM 3 bus port is provided to loop to additional GALAXY processors or to a SIM-3088
Line Switcher.
