De-rigging the array and preparing for transport
The Galeo S array is rigged down in the reverse order of the setup. Firstly, the array is lowered to a
comfortable working height. Then the single Galeo S units are set to 0° by releasing the Auto-
Locking Hooks. The Auto-Locking Hook to be unlocked should first be relieved for a smooth work-
flow. Afterwards the Stop Pin has to be set in the 0° position. That prevents the array from collaps-
ing in itself when it is placed in the dolly.
Repeat this procedure for all Galeo S units until the whole array is in a straight position. Then the
packets in desired number of Galeo S units can be set onto the dolly.
For transport the top cover of the dolly is to be secured with a ratchet strap.

Setting up Galeo S Subs/Cardioid Presets
When using Galeo S subs in a cardioid
setup, it’s important the subwoofer that is facing to the rear
must be driven using the appropriate controller setup. The cross-over frequencies for all subwoof-
ers must be set to the same value. The subwoofers must be set up in a 2:1 ratio, i.e. two units fac-
ing forwards to one facing the rear. If only 2 units in total are available, the rear-facing unit should
be reduced in level by 3 dB.
In a ground-stack of three units, the bottom subwoofer is should face rear. When three units are
placed next to each other on the ground,
it’s recommended the middle unit to face rear. In a flown
array of three units likewise the middle unit should face rear.
A cardioid sub-array requires a minimum of 1.5 m. space to the nearest wall in order to function
correctly. If this is not possible, it is preferable to place all the subs as close as possible to the wall
and not use the cardioid function.
