NEXO is one of the world’s 
leading sound reinforcement 
loudspeaker manufacturers. 
Founded in 1979, the company 
is dedicated to crafting practical 
solutions with solid engineering. 
Each new design begins with 
a proprietary sophisticated 
computer simulation process 
that allows every parameter 
to be extensively modeled 
and simulated, leading 
to breakthrough cost and 
performance gains.
NEXO’s comprehensive product 
line includes loudspeakers, 
analogue and digital control 
electronics and amplification; all 
designed to deliver consistent 
sound quality and long term 
reliability for a broad range of 
applications.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Electronic Controller  

The NX242 Digital TDcontroller presets are precisely matched to the GEO SUB and include  

 

sophisticated protection systems. Using the GEO SUB without a properly connected  

 

NX242 Digital TDcontroller will result in poor sound quality and can damage components.

Speaker Cables  

The front loudspeaker of the GEO SUB is wired 2+ & 2- while the rear loudspeakers  

 

are wired in parallel 1- & 1+. The GEO SUB must use separate cables from the main system.

Rigging System  

Please refer to the user manual before any operation.

As part of a policy of continual improvement, NEXO reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
