Thank you for selecting a NEXO 45°N-12 floor monitor.
NEXO’s 45°N-12 monitor loudspeaker is the first product based on a radical new concept in stage
sound – that of line monitoring.
The revolutionary NEXO 45°N-12 wedge monitor brings all the benefits of line-array technology to the
stage.
It draws on NEXO’s patented Hyperbolic Reflective Wavesource which is used throughout the GEO
range of high-performance loudspeakers. The design works by wavesourcing, creating virtual acoustic
sources behind the enclosure itself and below the stage, using reflection rather than coercion to
determine the shape of the wavefront.
Unlike a conventional high frequency waveguide in which the exit is rectangular, the NEXO monitor’s
waveguide enables cabinets to be linked together to form arrays without interference between
wavefronts.
Practical benefits for stage monitoring applications are:
-
steady frequency in coverage area;
-
higher SPL and feedback threshold;
-
sharp side attenuation;
-
coverage and SPL scalability.
This manual is intended to provide you with necessary and useful information about your NEXO 45°N-
12 floor monitor system.
