2 Foreword

2Foreword

The Galeo S is a premium class 2x 6.5"/ 1x 1.4" line array top unit with an integrated passive

crossover and a power handling capacity of 400 Watt (AES) and 1200 Watt (peak). The Galeo S is

available in the 100° and in the 70° version. Replacing the AMR-Panels ® that define the horizontal

coverage of the line array unit can be done easily by the customer himself. It’s absolutely neces-

sary to operate the Galeo S with the dedicated controller setup that fits for both versions

(70°/100°). Up to 8 units Galeo S units can be driven by an amplifier channel that’s stable down to

a load 2 Ohm load. The Galeo S is angled in 1° steps over a range of 0° to 16°.

The Galeo S Sub is a compact sized 1x 15” subwoofer with a power handling capacity of 1000

Watt (AES) and 3000 W (Peak). It features integrated flying hardware and two M20 threaded sock-

ets for mounting speaker poles.

3 Safety instructions

3Safety instructions

Acoustic

Even a low input level can result in a sound pressure level at the

loudspeaker which can be damaging to your hearing. Do not remain

in close proximity to the loudspeaker when it is being operated. Use

hearing protection. Observe all relevant Health and Safety and Envi-

ronmental Protection regulations.

Mechanical

Movable parts and falling objects during installation and de-rigging

can cause serious injury. Observe at all times all relevant Health and

Safety regulations and regulations on the installation and operation of

PA systems.

Magnetic und electrical

Loudspeakers generate a magnetic field even without a source of

power connected. This can damage or destroy magnetic storage

devices. The PowerCon loop-through connector is under power when

the device is in operation. Observe all relevant safety regulations at

all times.

General safety precautions

Make sure that every user of the products concerned has read and

understood this manual completely. The installation and de-rigging of

this equipment should only be carried out by appropriately qualified

and experienced personnel, and according to all relevant safety regu-

lations.

Please note that all of the mentioned regulations apply primarily to

Germany. If you work in other countries, inform yourself about the

regulations that apply there and work according to them. These can

deviate from the German regulations!

Do not operate a loudspeaker box if you have safety concerns or if

the loudspeaker box malfunctions. The device does not feature any

parts that can be repaired by the user, contact your dealer or quali-

3 Safety instructions

fied specialists for repairs.

Do not expose the loudspeaker to rain, and avoid operating in envi-

ronments below -5° C or above 40° C. Be aware of the possibility of

condensation forming inside the housing due to rapid changes in

temperature. Allow the loudspeaker to adjust to ambient temperature

before operation.

To prevent overheating, do not operate the loudspeaker in the direct

vicinity of strong heat sources, and avoid direct sunlight. After long

periods of operation, the loudspeaker, particularly metallic compo-

nents such as the pole mount and the connector panel, can reach

temperatures exceeding 40° C.

The components of the rigging system described here (Flying Frame,

ball-lock pins, load adapter) are only to be used with SEEBURG

Galeo S and Galeo S Sub systems in the manner described here

(specified normal use)!

Make sure that the limit loads specified in this manual are not ex-

ceeded and also that the suspension points are intended for the pur-

pose and are sufficiently load-bearing!

Observe all relevant regulations for accident prevention. Make sure

that suitable protective equipment (gloves, shoes, helmet) is worn

during installation and de-rigging!

While moving the loads with chain and / or rope hoists, nobody is

allowed to be in the danger zone below the array! A speaker array is

not a ladder: climbing on it is prohibited!

4 Components of the system

4.3.2 AMR-Panels

The coverage of a sound reinforcement system is of primary importance: only a very small part of

the audience is exactly on the axis of one loudspeaker array system. Therefore, we placed a lot of

value during the development of the Galeo S system on an absolutely symmetrical horizontal cov-

erage over the entire frequency range.

The mid-range speakers are covered by AMR-Panels which also function as the horn for the high-

frequency drivers.

Due to the special arrangement, size and shape of the hole, an ideal ratio of sound outlet for the

mid-range and horn guidance for the high range is achieved. The Galeo S is delivered as standard

with horn elements (Art. 08141/100) that provide uniform horizontal coverage over 100°. By replac-

ing the 100° panels with covers with a 70° (Art. 08141/70) horn function, the nominal coverage can

be changed accordingly. This change is particularly appropriate for the uppermost elements of an

array, where the width of coverage is not required and a longer throw is necessary. The front grille

is held by small neodymium magnets and secured by a steel cable (safety).

The vertical coverage is determined by the curving and the tilt of the array (section 6.3)

70° AMR-Panels (Art. 08141/70)

100° AMR-Panels (Art. 08141/100)

The AMR-Panels are mounted directly over the mid-range drivers via four M5 x 30 hex-head

screws.
