Nexo

(Originally written by locasson/translated from Audiofanzine FR) Hello, I had the opportunity to listen to it during a demo for a location that needed a new system. Configuration: four GEOS12 forming a horizontal cluster on each side of the stage plus one CD18 on each side. Four front fills for the first rows of the audience. The system is powered with NXAMP4X1. The system looked good and was quickly set up. The response is very dynamic (it's not surprising for 12" speakers). The response is brilliant but not too much. No EQ was needed with my test CDs. The CD18 has an amazing efficiency (145 dB SPL.m-1). The frequency response is well-balanced regardless of the sound pressure level. The sound is dynamic, clear and accurate. This setup surprised me: I never heard such a pleasant sound with so much output power. With 105 dB SPL it was still perfect. As if you were listening to a Nexo PS8 but with a sound pressure level that could bring down the walls... Hats off to Nexo engineers. I had already used virtually every available system on the market but THIS ONE... I think we will see this system in many locations. Regards

The Nexo PS15 comes from Europe and it is a very well built loudspeaker made by a company in Paris. We have used these speakers multiple times over the last 7 years, the first time we used them was in 2005 and we used them in a club. The crossover frequency is 900 Hz. You can turn these babies up and they are loud. I have used them in very large venues and clubs. Even in outdoors spaces they sound great. This loudspeaker system isn’t even considered the top of the line system that Nexo makes. We used the PS15 as a floor monitor and never really took it off of ground level. It does have a built in stand fitting 35mm if you want to use it on a stand (sold separately) . These loudspeakers do need a woofer for them to have that thump that I love in a club. So we had a Yamaha sub woofer to carry out the duties of the low end. The PS15 weighs just over 50 pounds which makes it easy enough to still move it around if you need to. The frequency response is 50Hz-18kHz. If you use it with a 1200W amplifier you will be more than satisfied on how it sounds. The sound that comes out the Nexo PS15 was very crisp, the highs where very clean and not too bright. Still keeping presence of the mids in the mix.. The lows are not absent, but the PS15 just needs a woofer to give that low end its thickness. But the overall quality of sound was very good and I look forward to seeing more products over here in the US from Nexo located in Paris. I am happy that I had the chance to use the Nexo PS15, the quality was amazing and the price was affordable. I am still keeping my eye out for more loudspeakers that are affordable from Nexo. This is the first Nexo product that I have tried and I am very impressed.
