Galeo S
The preset “Galeo S Flat” is used for both the 70° and the 100° version of the Galeo S. This preset
is optimized for 3 elements flown with 0° splay angles. Due to the increase in coupling in the low-
mid range with increasing length of the array, an increase in high-frequency level is necessary for
longer arrays. Generally, a high-shelf filter at 2.5 kHz is used to achieve this. The following table
can be used as a guideline for this adjustment. The values assume a standard J curve for the array
and moderate level:
Number of Galeo S Units

8 dB
Note: At higher sound pressure levels, less HF boost should be used.
9.2.2
Galeo S Sub
We recommend the preset “Galeo S Sub 100 Hz.” for the Galeo S Subs. A higher cross-over fre-
quency may be useful for open air events to provide more energy in the higher low-frequency
range. Details about using the cardioid mode can be found in section 7.11.
