Compass Go

Optimize Loudspeaker Systems from Your iPad

Combining the key functionalities of the Compass software and the simplicity and mobility of the iPad, Compass Go makes system setup and tuning much easier and more intuitive.

Simply download the latest Milan AVB or legacy AM824 AVB version from the Apple App Store, connect it to a Galileo, Galileo Callisto, or Galileo GALAXY processor on the same Wi-Fi network, and you can seamlessly and accurately optimize your sound system using the following features in the Galileo, Galileo Callisto, and Galileo GALAXY Processors:

  • Adjust system delay, gain, and mute
  • Manage U-Shaping, TruShaping, 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

Connecting to a Galileo, Callisto or GALAXY Processor

Your iPad and Galileo/Callisto/GALAXY Processor need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. You can select one device from the “Home” page of the interface. The list of devices should populate automatically as long as every device is using a unique IPv4 address on the same subnet. When the desired Galileo/Callisto is revealed, touch anywhere in the row of that device and you will be taken to the default or last page used from a previously selected Galileo/Callisto.
