NEXO at ProLight+Sound Frankfurt
NEXO presented its latest compact tangent-array SR systems for touring applications and fixed installation, notably the GEO S12 Series and GEO D with GEO SUB, as well as its internationally-established PS Series. The main attraction was the debut of the RAY SUB Series of modular scalable bass cabinets, and the first exhibition in Frankfurt of the NXAMP powered TDController.
Seen for the first time in the world, the first product from the new RAY SUB Series is the RS15, a low-profile high-output, modular, scalable bass cabinet which is capable of operating in both omni-directional and cardioid modes. Comprised of a 15 inch transducer with a frequency response of 35Hz – 200Hz in omni or 35Hz- 150Hz in directional mode and a sensitivity of 105db SPL, the RS 15 presents an unchallenged versatility for installations and touring requirements. Offering a breakthrough on both technological and application levels, the patent-pending RS15 offers directive subwoofer coverage from a standard bass reflex subwoofer architecture. Simply turning the cabinet vertically or horizontally will change its characteristics from omni to cardioid.
Making its first appearance at the ProLight+Sound show, NEXO’s new NXAMP is a powered TD Controller, the first product to be generated by the collaboration with Yamaha. The integration of amplifier, available in two 4-channel sizes, with the NEXO TDController provides a cooler, cleaner and more efficient solution which brings cost and operational benefits to live use as well as fixed installation.
The TDController function provides crossover, sensed amplifier control and system alignment, using digital software algorithms to combine this calibrated data with sensed voltage and current measurements, precisely controlling the temperature and displacement of each driver. There are two NXAMP models: 4x4 and 4x1. The larger of the two displays exceptional output performance; one unit will power up to 16x NEXO PS15 loudspeakers. Combining the two functions in one device saves the expense of buying a processor as well as an amplifier, and reduces the number of analogue-to-digital conversions required by discrete units.
