It is essential to execute all these check steps prior to perform a sound check on the “front end” to the
system. Following this checklist step by step will prevent many troubles and will save time in the end.
8.1 Are the NX242 Digital TDcontrollers properly configured?
IMPORTANT
If you must change any of the parameters listed above, make sure that you use the same
values on all NX242’s.

(1) values for recommended amplifier gain and power : should be set in agreement with selected
amplifiers specifications
(2) Local gain and delay values are inter-locked channel 1&2 and 3&4
(3) Should be in agreement with implemented cluster; acts on a shelving filter designed to compensate
for LF coupling (6 GEOD is 0dB gain on shelving filter, less than 6 is positive gain, more than 6 is
negative gain)
(4) Disabled when using digital inputs.

8.3 Are the amps and the NX properly connected?
Check that the sense lines on the NX242’s are properly connected by applying a signal to the
corresponding output and verify that the correct Sense LED illuminates.
8.4 Are the speakers properly connected and angled ?
•
Attach the first serie of modules to the bumper.
•
Before flying, verify that all channels of all modules are functioning properly.
•
Make sure that each GEO D10 / GEO SUB is producing the proper front/rear summation: when
listening from behind the array, switch the front drivers in and out. You should hear a reduction in
the LF range when the both front and rear drivers are on as compared to when the rear drivers
