Thank you for selecting a NEXO GEO M6 Series Tangent Array System. This manual is intended to provide you with necessary 
and useful information about your GEO M6 System, which includes the following products: 

 

 

GEO M620 is a 20° Tangent Array Module. It comprises 1x6.5” (17cm) 8 
ohms LF/MF driver and 1x1.5” voice coil, 1” Throat 16 Ohm HF Driver 
loaded by a 15° Hyperboloid Reflective Wavesource™. 

 

 

GEO  M6B  is  a  Bass-Mid  Reinforcement  module  for  GEO  M620.  It 
comp

rises 1x6.5” (17cm) 8 ohms LF/MF driver ™. 

 

 

A full range of accessories provides safe, flexible and simple means of 
installing GEO M6 in fixed installation as well as in touring applications. 

 

 

 

 

GEO M6 are controlled, powered and monitored by NEXO TDcontrollers. 
For  a  complete  description  of  these  controllers,  please  refer  to  User 
Manuals. NEXO TDcontrollers DSP algorithms and parameters are fixed 
in  software  and  updated  regularly:  Please  consult  the  NEXO  web  site 
(nexo-sa.com) for the latest software releases. 

 

 

NS-1  simulation  software  assists  in  the  design  and  implementation  of 
vertical tangent GEO arrays. Please consult the NEXO web site (nexo-
sa.com) for the latest software releases. 

 

 

Available for Mac, iPad and iPhone, NEXO NeMo provides full remote 
control over a digital audio network from anywhere in the venue, thanks 
to an intuitive and graphically attractive user interface. NeMo is available 
on Apple App Store. 

 

Please devote your time and attention to reading this manual. A comprehensive understanding of GEO M6 specific features will 
help you to operate your system at its full potential.
