Compass Go AM824 vs Open Sound Meter

Compass Go AM824 is an iPad app designed for audio professionals who are using Meyer Sound’s Compass, GALAXY with firmware that only supports AVB format AM824, Galileo or Callisto processors. For more information on Meyer Sound’s Galileo GALAXY Network Platform, please visit http://www.meyersound.com/product/galaxy/. Compass Go AM824 complements the full feature set of the original Compass software for controlling Meyer Sound GALAXY (using firmware that only supports the AVB AM824 format), Galileo and Callisto processors. Compass Go AM824 is a dedicated application that will easily connect to any single GALAXY, Galileo or Callisto processor and take advantage of all available controls on the processors including, Parametric EQ, U-Shaping, Galileo/Callisto TruShaping, Delay, Gain, Mute and Meters. Compass Go AM824 offers a more portable control solution that allows the operator to make changes while moving rapidly through different listening areas and seating locations to analyze by ear the overall effectiveness of the sound system with respect to coverage and quality. For mission critical control during a show a wired interface should always be active, but during setup and adjustment the use of Compass Go AM824 speeds the workflow considerably. Compass Go’s workflow lets you instantly access and see what adjustments you’ve applied at any control point, so you can easily edit, save, and recall snapshots of user settings that are stored on the local device. Compass Go AM824 can be used for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications including: • Theaters • Theme parks • Touring/Live Sound • Planetariums • Cinema • Commercial/Industrial installations • Theatrical Productions • Corporate AV • Houses of Worship Simply connect the app to a Galileo GALAXY loaded with firmware that supports the AM824 AVB format, Galileo or Galileo Callisto processor on the same Wi-Fi network, and you can seamlessly and accurately optimize your sound system using the following features in any of the Meyer Sound Galileo digital processors: • Adjust system delay, gain, and mute • Manage Meyer Sound shaping EQ, and parametric EQ filter sets • See current parameters status and any adjustments made at any control point • Recall snapshots of prior user settings • Create, edit, and store new snapshot settings in the individual processors • Move about freely without a laptop as you listen for the array coverage and quality from different seats The Compass Go AM824 app for iPad provides an extension to the Compass Control Software desktop/workstation product and enhances the user experience and workflow efficiency. Meyer Sound requires upgrading Galileo or Callisto devices to firmware version 3.12.0 or GALAXY firmware version 1.3.4 before using Compass Go.

Open Sound Meter is an application for tuning and controlling audio systems in real-time. Allows to measure and analyze: - Spectrum - SPL (RMS, Leq) - Magnitude - Phase - Group delay - Phase delay - Coherence - Impulse - Step - Spectrogram - Impedance - Nyquist plot - Crest factor You can store any result. Stored measurement can be adjusted by gain, delay and polarity, adjusted with filters, equalization. Math function gives you a possibility to average your measurements, virtually join them and predict how they will sound together. For better results, you can apply calibration files for your microphones. For the measurement, you can use any iOS compatible audio interface or connect to your mixing console. Save the project on the device or in iCloud. Direct connection works with Behringer X32, Midas M32, Allen&Heath Qu, DiGiCo S21/S31/SD12/UB-MADI, Yamaha TF and other consoles that have audio over USB. For Yamaha CL/QL you can use Dante AVIO adapter.
