8.4.1  NEXO systems acoustic reference point 

The NX TDControllers factory presets are optimised to provide the best possible crossover between the 
RS15’as and PS8/PS10/PS15, GeoS8/Geo12 systems. These crossover algorithms are defined for 
speaker acoustic reference points being aligned. 

The acoustic reference point on all NEXO products is the front of each cabinet, therefore

:

 

•

  RS15’s reference point in Omni Mode is center of the front grid 

•

  RS15’s reference point in Directional Mode is center of the face opposite to connector panel.
