GEO Technology is radically new thinking
The GEO R&D Project has, to date, resulted in the following patent applications:
• The GEO Hyperboloid Reflective Wavesource™ differs radically from the megaphone-variant
type horns you know and love (or hate). “Tried and true” methods will produce entirely
unexpected results. HRW technology produces precise and predictable results.
• The Configurable Directivity Flange. A waveguide that allows the operator to alter its behaviour.
An unprecedented NEXO development that is easy to use – once you know how and when.
• The Directivity Phase Device needs no operator input to function, but it is reassuring to know that
the coupling of the midrange of the system is considered as important as the high frequencies…
• DSP-driven Directional Sub-bass devices are a new approach to controlling LF/VLF acoustic
energy.
GEO is not hard to use when you understand how…
The technology behind GEO is revolutionary, but it is grounded in years of practical experience with the
problems of delivering high quality professional sound to large audiences at high SPL levels. The GEO
toolbox includes GEOSoft -a simple yet powerful and highly predictive design tool. The array assembly
system is keyed to the design software and will easily enable you to deploy your design with great
precision. The NX242 Digital TDcontroller provides driver protection and system optimization as well as
DSP-driven cardioid pattern control for the CD18, GEO SUB and RS series Directional Subwoofers.
GEO is a high precision system
The GEO HRW™ controls acoustic energy more precisely than other multiple element waveguides. It
also makes GEO less forgiving of mistakes. Whilst conventional horns never combine into a coherent
array, they may deliver acceptable results even if the design and deployment of the system is less than
optimal. This is not the case with GEO where careless installation produces catastrophic results.
A GEO Tangent Array is not a “line array”
GEO Technology is equally effective in designing and deploying tangent horizontal arrays or curved
vertical arrays. For best results in a specific application the user needs to know how multi-speaker
arrays interact with audience geometry, along with the benefits and drawbacks of curved vertical arrays
and horizontal arrays.
Curved tangent arrays require different design techniques
For the past 20 years, sound reinforcement professionals have worked with horizontal arrays that use
conventional horns to deliver [more or less] ‘equal power to equal angles’. Curved vertical arrays are
designed to deliver [more or less] equal power to equal areas’. When arrays use conventional horns,
the lack of precision, overlap and interference masks errors in array design and aiming. The highly
precise GEO wavesource responds accurately, consistently and predictably to the design and
deployment of a curved vertical tangent array. This is why the GEO rigging system is designed to
control angular splay to 0.01° precision.
GEO curved tangent arrays require different operational techniques
Over the years, system designers and operators have developed a number of signal processing
techniques to disguise and partly overcome the limitations of horn design. “Frequency shading,”
“amplitude shading,” “system tuning,” all of these are tools of the advanced sound system operator.
NONE OF THESE TECHNIQUES ARE APPLICABLE TO GEO TANGENT ARRAYS. Instead of
enhancing the array’s performance they will severely degrade it.
Take time to learn how to get great results with GEO Technology. It is an investment that will pay off in
more satisfied clients, more efficient operating procedures and more recognition for your skill as a
sound system designer and operator. A comprehensive understanding of GEO theory, tangent arrays,
and specific features of the GEO S12 Series will help you to operate your system at its full potential.

SAFETY ISSUES
IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly
everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient
time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures: Sound Duration Per
Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response
8 90
6 92
4 65
3 97
2 100
1 ½ 102
1 105
½ 110
¼ or less 115
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating
this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the
limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure
levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound
pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.
SYSTEM RIGGING SAFETY RULES
Before use of GEO S12, please ensure that anyone involved in system deployment
understands the rigging and stacking Safety rules are described in chapter “GEO S12
hardware setup procedure”, “SAFETY FIRST” pages 31 to 33 . Failure to do this exposes
people to potential injury or death.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING ! GEO S12 TDCONTROLLER AND NX242 DIGITAL CONTROLLER ARE CLASS 1
APPARATUS AND MUST BE EATHED.
The green and yellow wire of the mains cord must always be connected to an installation
safety earth or ground. The earth is essential for personal safety as well as the correct
operation of the system, and is internally connected to all exposed metal surfaces.

Page 12/112 GEO S12 GENERAL SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
2 GEO S12 GENERAL SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Speaker connection
2.1.1 GEO S12 connectors
GEO S12 is connected with Speakon NL4FC plugs (not supplied). A wiring
diagram is printed on the connection panel located on the back of each
cabinet.The 4 pins of the 2 Speakon sockets identified in / out are connected in
parallel within the enclosure.
Either connector can be used to connect amplifier or to link to an additional Geo
S12 cabinet or to link to an optional Sub (if present). Therefore, a single 4-
conductor cable can connect two amplifier channels to various Geo S12 and/or
Sub Bass.
Connectors are wired as follows:
2.1.2 Configuring Geo S12 for Passive or Active Mode
• Remove the six TORX screws that hold the connector panel (figure next page);
• Remove the connector panel so that filter WAGO connectors become accessible;
• In Passive Mode, connector A (from filter) should be inserted in connector B (PCB “Passive In”),
and Connector D (“Passive Out”) should be connected to speakers via connector C.
• In Active Mode, WAGO Connector A (from filter) should be directly connected into to speakers via
connector C (PCB connectors B & D are then unused).
2.1.3 Cabling
NEXO recommends the exclusive use of multi-conductor cables to connect the system: the cable kit is
compatible with all the cabinets, and there is no possible confusion between LF, MF and HF sections.
Cable choice consists mainly of selecting cables of the correct sectional dimension (size) in relation to
the load resistance and the cable length. Too small a cable section will increase both its serial
resistance and its capacitance; this reduces the electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker and can
also induce response (damping factor) variations.
For a serial resistance less or equal to 4% of the load impedance (damping factor = 25), the maximum
cable length is given by:
L
max
= Z x S S in mm

, Z in Ohm, L

The table below indicates these values, for 3 common sizes.

2.1.4 Example:
• GEO S12 has a 16 Ohms nominal impedance in passive mode, so 4x Geo S12 wired in parallel
will present a 16/4 = 4 Ohm load impedance. The maximum acceptable 2x2.5 mm

(AWG #12)
cable length L

for such a cluster is 10 meters.
IMPORTANT
Long speaker cables induce capacitive effects – up to hundreds of pF depending on the
quality of the cable - with a high-pass effect on high frequencies. If long speaker cables
must be used, ensure that they do not remain coiled while in use.

3 AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH GEO S12S
NEXO recommends high power amplifiers in all cases. Budget constraints are the only reason to select
lower power amplifiers. A lower power amplifier will not reduce the chances of driver damage due to
over-excursion, and may actually increase the risk of thermal damage due to sustained clipping. If an
incident occurs on an installation without protection, the fact that amplifiers only generating half their
rated output power (-3dB) are used will not change anything in respect of possible damage. This is due
to the fact that the RMS power handling of the weakest component in the system is always 6 to 10 dB
lower than the amplifier rating.
3.1 GEO S12 recommended amplification
GEO S12 is rated for very high power handling and has a 16 Ohms nominal impedance in passive
mode or 2 x 16 Ohms nominal impedance in active mode.
These high impedance values allow connection of 3 to 6 cabinets in parallel for each amplifier channel.
Nexo recommends amplifiers in agreement with table below:

3.1.1 Current rating
It is very important that the amplifier behaves correctly under low load conditions. A speaker system is
reactive by nature: on transient signals like music it will require four to ten times more instantaneous
current than its nominal impedance would indicate. Amplifiers are generally specified by continuous
RMS power into resistive loads, however the only useful information about current capacity is the
specification into a 2 Ohm load. It is possible to perform an amplifier listening test by loading the amps
with twice the number of cabinets considered for the application (2 speakers per channel instead of one,
4 instead of 2) and running the amps up to the onset of clipping. If the signal does not noticeably
deteriorate, the amplifier is well adapted (overheating after approximately ten minutes is normal but
thermal protection must not operate too quickly after starting this test).
3.1.2 Amplifier settings
Gain value
Gain is the key to correct alignment of the system. It is especially important to know the gain of all
amplifiers used in your set-up. The tolerance should be about ±0.5 dB. In practice this can be difficult to
achieve because:
AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH GEO S12S Page 15/112
• Some amplifier brands have an identical input sensitivity for models of different power rating (this
infers a different voltage gain for each model). For example, a range of amplifiers with different
power outputs, all having a published input sensitivity of 775mV/0dBm or 1.55V/+6dBm, will have
a wide range of actual gains – the higher the power, the greater the gain.
• Various other brands may offer constant gain but only within a given product range, for example
they may fit fixed input sensitivity only on their semi-professional amps.
• Even if a manufacturer applies the constant gain rule to all models, the value selected will not
necessarily be the same as that chosen by other manufacturers.
• Some products can exhibit manufacturing tolerances for the same model of ±1dB or more. Some
amplifiers may have been modified, possibly without any label indicating the new values. Others
may have gain switches fitted internally where it is impossible for the user to verify the actual
setting without opening the amplifier casing.
• In cases where you don't know the gain of your amplifier (or want to check it) please follow this
procedure:
1) Unplug any loudspeakers from the amplifier outputs
2) With a signal generator, feed a sine wave at 1000Hz at a known voltage (say 0.5V) to
the input of the amplifier under test
3) Measure the voltage at the output of the amplifier
4) Calculate the gain using the formula Gain = 20 * LOG
10
(Vout/Vin).
Some examples:
Vin / Gain 20dB 26dB 32dB 37dB (1.4V sensitivity / 1350Wrms)
0.1 V 1 V 2 V 4 V 7.1 V
0.5 V 5 V 10 V 20 V 35.4 V
1 V 10 V 20 V 40 V 70.8 V
Remember that constant sensitivity settings will give a different gain value when the amplifier power is
different.
NEXO recommends low gain amplifiers: +26dB is recommended, as it is at the same time adequately
low and quite common amongst amplifier manufacturers. This gain setting improves signal to noise ratio
and allows all preceding electronic equipment, including the NX242 TDcontroller or GEO S12
TDController, to operate at optimum level. Remember that using a high gain amplifier will raise the
noise floor proportionally.
Operating Mode
Most two channel amplifiers available on the pro-audio market have the following operating modes:
• Stereo:
two fully independent channels deliver identical power into identical loads
• NEXO recommends Stereo Mode for all amplifier channels feeding GEO S12’s.
• Bridge-Mono:
the second signal channel processes the same input as the first channel, but with
reversed phase. The (single) load is connected between the two positive channel outputs using a
suitable connection. While the total output of the amplifier remains the same, the available output
voltage, the minimum impedance that can be connected and the voltage gain are doubled as
compared with stereo operation. Typically, only channel 1 input is active. Positive and negative
output connections vary depending on amplifier manufacturers.
• NEXO does not recommend Bridge Mono Mode unless amplifier power is clearly not sufficient.
Page 16/112 AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH GEO S12S
IMPORTANT
When in Bridge-Mono mode, check your amplifier user manual for proper connection of
outputs 1(+) and (2+) in relation to input phase.
• Parallel-mono: the output terminals of the two channels are configured in parallel using an
internal relay. The (single) load is connected either to the output of channel 1 or to that of channel
2 (as if in stereo). While the total output of the amplifier remains the same the output voltage level
is also the same as in stereo mode. The minimum impedance that can be connected is reduced
by half due to the fact that current capability is doubled. Typically, only channel 1 input is active.
• NEXO does not recommend Parallel-Mono Mode for any GEO S12 amplification.
Warning on amplifiers signal processing features
Some high-end amplifiers may include signal processing functions similar to those found in the NX242
TDcontroller or in GEO S12 TDController ("loudspeaker offset integration", "limiter", "compressor," etc.).
Moreover, when this processing is digital, computation latency time can introduce a few milliseconds
delay from input to output. These functions are not adapted to specific system requirements and may
interfere with the complex protection algorithms used in the NX242.
NEXO do not advise using other protection systems in conjunction with the NX242 and they should be
disabled.
IMPORTANT
For proper system protection, no latency time or non-linear devices should be
introduced between the output of the NX242 TDcontroller and the input of loudspeakers
through use of DSP modules such as internal amplifier signal processing.
3.1.3 Example
For a 6 GEO S12 cluster, and considering an amplifier model which is capable of delivering 2 x 3300W
into 2 Ohms or 2 x 2300W into 4 Ohms, NEXO recommends the following quantities and settings:
• Geo S12 Passive Mode:
• 1 stereo amplifier, 3 x GEO S12 per amplifier channel, mode switch in Stereo position, Gain
switch in 26 dB gain position, all dynamic or filter processing switches off.

6 GEOSOFT2
GEOSoft2 software is a R&D simulation tool derived application. It processes measured speaker data
with complex mathematical algorithms to assist the user in designing vertical GEO Tangent Arrays that
provide even SPL throughout the depth of the audience. Due to the complexity of the interaction of
multiple cabinets, it is simply not possible to reliably design curved vertical arrays without using the
processing power of a computer to predict the optimum array structure for a given audience geometry.
The design logic is far more complex than looking at a section drawing of the venue, measuring the
overall angle needed to cover the audience from the cluster location, and dividing by 10 degrees to
determine the required amount number of GEO S1210 cabinets.
GEOSoft2 is an easy to use tool that allows to shape the energy leaving the cluster to fit the audience. It
predicts pressure levels radiated from the system to ensure enough cabinets are provided for the
application, as well as mechanical constraints for safe flown systems.
In addition, it provides mechanical information for all clusters in agreement with Structural Analysis
Reports (available in the Help section): dimensions, weight, gravity center position, forces, moments,
working load and safety factor.
GEOS8, GEOT and GEOD Structural Analysis Reports have been validated by German Certification
Organization RWTUV systems GmbH.
Geo S12 Structural Analysis Report is currently being examined by German Certification Organization
RWTUV systems GmbH.
Geosoft2 installation package includes all GEO User Manuals, Structural Analysis Reports and
Certificates PDF files (which can be found in the last section of User Manuals).
Geosoft2 is a freeware downloadable on www.nexo-sa.com. Please check our website
periodically for upgrades.
IMPORTANT
Never install a GEO S12 cluster without checking its acoustical performances and
mechanical safety in Geosoft2 prior to installation.
Any question or bug report please contact [email protected]
GEOSOFT2 ACOUSTIC PAGE
CONFIGURABLE DIRECTIVITY DEVICE Page 29/112
7 CONFIGURABLE DIRECTIVITY DEVICE
The GEO Wavesource controls dispersion of acoustic energy using an hyperboloid acoustical reflector
in the “coupling plane” (the vertical plane of a curved vertical tangent array) and a diffraction slot in the
“non-coupling plane” (the horizontal plane of a curved vertical tangent array). The patented
Configurable Directivity Device consists of bolt-on flanges that alter the diffraction slot’s exit flare rate.
7.1 Installing & removing GEO’s Configurable Directivity flanges
GEO S12 are shipped in the 80° dispersion configuration;
120° flanges is an optional accessory.
To change dispersion in the non-coupling plane to 120°:
• Remove the front grill (drawings below);
• Remove the three TORX (5x25) screws per flange on each side of the GEO Waveguide
(drawings below);
• Install the 120° flanges with the six TORX screws
• Re-install the grid, being careful that the NEXO logo must be on the 12” loudspeaker side.
REMOVING THE GRILL
REMOVING THE SCREWS REPLACING THE FLANGES
Page 30/112 CONFIGURABLE DIRECTIVITY DEVICE
7.2 When & where to use Configurable Directivity flanges
The diagrams show audience area coverage for a stereo system. While the GEO cluster will deliver
even SPL from the front to the rear of this audience area, there are “holes” near the front in the centre
and at the outside edges. We cannot fill the outside coverage gaps without enlarging the centre gap,
and vice versa (left figure below).
If 120° Configurable Directivity Devices are installed at the bottom cabinet of the clusters, coverage will
look more like the pattern in right figure below.
-6dB coverage, all GEO S12 in 80° configuration -6dB coverage, bottom GEO S12 in 120° configuration
In curved vertical arrays, the 120° Configurable Directivity Device can be used:
• On the bottom row of curved vertical arrays, to fill in coverage gaps in the front rows.
• On all rows of curved vertical arrays, in cases where 120° of horizontal coverage is
preferred to 80°.
Figure below shows isocontour coverage for 80° and 120° configurations.

GEO S12 HARDWARE SETUP PROCEDURE Page 31/112
8 GEO S12 HARDWARE SETUP PROCEDURE
Before proceeding with assembly of GEO S12 arrays, please ensure that the components are present
and undamaged. A component list is appended to this manual. In the event of any shortage, please
contact your supplier.
For maximum efficiency the GEO S12 rigging system requires three experienced persons for set-up:
typically one motor hoist operator, and one GEO S12 operator per side of the array. Good
synchronisation and crosscheck between the operators are key elements for a reliable and safe set-up.
8.1 SAFETY FIRST
GEO S12 Rigging System structural computations and related documents are available in Geosoft2 or
at Nexo ([email protected]) upon request.
We include this section to remind you of safe practice when flying the GEO S12 system. Please read it
carefully. However, user must always apply his or her knowledge, experience and common sense. If in
any doubt, seek advice from your supplier or NEXO agent.
This manual offers guidance only for GEO S12 loudspeaker systems. References in this manual to
other rigging equipment such as motor hoists, steels, shackles etc. are made to clarify the description of
GEO S12 procedures. The user must ensure that operators are properly trained by other agencies in
the use of these items.
The GEO S12 Rigging System has been optimised for the deployment of curved vertical or horizontal
tangent arrays of GEO S12 loudspeakers. Angle adjustment between cabinets has been limited to
specific settings to ensure correct acoustic coupling.
The GEO S12 Rigging System is a professional precision tool set, and should be handled with extreme
care. Only persons who are fully conversant with the operation of the GEO S12 Rigging System and
provided with suitable safety equipment should deploy GEO Arrays. Misuse of the GEO S12 Rigging
System could lead to dangerous consequences.
Used and maintained correctly, the GEO S12 Rigging System will give many years of reliable service in
portable systems. Please take the time to read and understand this manual. Always use GEOSoft2 to
determine the optimum angle settings for a particular venue, hang point and curved vertical GEO S12
cluster. Applied forces and moments are strongly cabinet quantity and angle configuration dependent.
Cluster configuration must be implemented and validated in Geosoft2 prior to installation.
8.1.1 Flown Systems Safety
• Always inspect all the rigging components and cabinets for damage before assembly. Pay
special attention to the lifting points, and safety clips. If you suspect that any of the components
are damaged or defective, DO NOT USE THE AFFECTED PARTS. Contact your supplier for
replacements.
• Read this manual carefully. Also be familiar with the manuals and safe working procedures for
any ancillary equipment that will be used with the GEO S12 Rigging System.
• Applied forces and moments are strongly cabinet quantity and angle configuration dependent.
Cluster configuration must be implemented and validated in Geosoft2 prior to installation.
• Ensure that all local and National regulations regarding the safety and operation of flying
equipment are understood and adhered to. Information on these regulations can usually be
obtained from Local Government Offices.
• When deploying a GEO S12 system always wear protective headwear, footwear and eye
protection.
• Do not allow inexperienced persons to handle a GEO S12 system. Installation personnel should
be trained in loudspeaker flying techniques and should be fully conversant with this manual.
• Ensure that motor hoists, hoist control systems and ancillary rigging components are currently
certified as safe and that they pass a visual inspection prior to use.
Page 32/112 GEO S12 HARDWARE SETUP PROCEDURE
• Ensure that public and personnel are not allowed to pass beneath the system during the
installation process. The work area should be isolated from public access.
• Never leave the system unattended during the installation process.
• Do not place any object, no matter how small or light, on top of the system during the installation
procedure. The object may fall when the system is flown and is likely to cause injury.
• Secondary safety steels must be installed once the system has been flown to the operating
height. Secondary steels must be fitted irrespective of requirements of the local safety standards
applicable to the territory.
• Ensure that the system is secure and prevented from pivoting around the motor hoist.
• Avoid any form of excessive dynamic loading to the assembly (structural computations on GEO
S12 Rigging System are based on a 1/1.2 factor for hoist or motor acceleration).
• NEVER attach any item to the GEO S12 system other than the GEO S12 accessories.
• When flying outdoor systems ensure that the system is not exposed to excessive wind or snow
loads and is protected from rainfall.
• The GEO S12 Rigging System requires regular inspection and testing by a competent test
centre. NEXO recommend that the system is load tested and certified annually or more
frequently if local regulations require.
• When de-rigging the system ensure that the same duty of care is given to the procedure as for
the installation. Pack GEO S12 components carefully to prevent damage in transit.
8.1.2 Ground Stacking Safety
Statistically, many more injuries occur due to unstable ground stacked PA systems than those
associated with flown systems. There are several reasons for this fact, however the message is clear:
• Always survey the supporting structure upon which a ground stack is to be built. Always look
beneath PA wings to inspect the deck support and if necessary ask for the stage scrims and
dressings be removed to allow access.
• If the stage surface slopes, as it does in some theatres, ensure that the system is prevented from
sliding forwards due to vibration. This may require the fitting of timber battens to the stage floor.
• For outdoor systems ensure that that the system is protected from wind forces which might
cause the ground stack to become unstable. Wind forces can be huge, especially upon large
systems, and should never be underestimated. Observe meteorological forecasts, calculate the
“worst case” effect upon the system prior to erection and ensure that the system is secured
appropriately.
• Take care when stacking cabinets. Always employ safe lifting procedures and never attempt to
build stacks without sufficient personnel and equipment.
• Never allow anyone, whether operators, artists or members of the public to climb onto a ground
stacked PA system. Anyone who needs to climb over 2m (6 ft) high should be fitted with suitable
safely equipment including a clip-on harness. Please refer to local Health and Safety legislation in
your territory. Your dealer can help with advice on access to this information.
• Apply the same attention to all safety matters when de-stacking systems.
• Be aware that safety procedures are as important in the truck and in the warehouse as they are
at the venue.

8.5 Testing and Maintenance of the system
• General: Geo is a precision piece of equipment and requires regular attention to maintenance in
order to give long and reliable service. NEXO recommends regular testing of loudspeaker rigging
components, preferably using a suitable test rig coupled with a visual inspection.
• Fasteners: there are several critical points in the GEO S12 cabinets.
• Of primary concern are:
• a) The grid screws attaching the grid to the cabinet
• b) The machine screws attaching the connecting plates to the cabinet.
• c) The screws attaching the directivity flanges to the front of the cabinet.
• These fasteners should be regularly checked and tightened as necessary.
• Cleaning: The exterior of the cabinet and the rigging system can be cleaned with a damp cloth
soaked in mild soapy water. On no account use solvent based cleaners , which may damage the
finish of the cabinet
• After cleaning, the rigging system must be treated with a suitable lubricant to prevent rusting.
NEXO recommends the use of Scottoil FS365 which is a water-based lubricant with a mixture of
machine oil, surfactant and anti-rust treatment.

WARNING ! THIS APPLIANCE CLASS 1 APPARATUS AND MUST BE EATHED.
The green and yellow wire of the mains cord must always be connected to an
installation safety earth or ground. The earth is essential for personal safety as well as
the correct operation of the system, and is internally connected to all exposed metal
surfaces. Additional recommendation for interconnection to other equipment can be
found in the “Analogue TDcontroller Setting-Up Advice” section.
9.3 Analogue TDcontroller Setting-Up Advice
9.3.1 Mains Power
NEXO TDcontrollers don’t provide a mean to switch off the unit from the front panel. As they are
intended to be rack mounted the back panel is not accessible during use. Therefore it is left to the user
to provide a disconnection mean readily operable.
9.3.2 Voltage setting
NEXO TDcontrollers use a switch mode power supply (SMS12). This SMS12 accepts universal AC
power input voltages in the range 90V to 264V, and requires no manual adjustment for voltages in this
range.
9.3.3 Mounting the TDcontroller in a rack (Grounding, shielding & safety issues)
The TDcontroller is intended for rack mounting. The only accessible part during use shall be the front
panel of the TDcontroller. Any space above or under the TDcontroller shall be obstructed with a blank
panel.
The rack is a free grounding and shielding structure and it provides extra shielding. Therefore, it is
desirable that the screws used to fix the TDcontroller in the frame or rack provide an electrical contact
between the chassis of the TDcontroller and the rack.
The primary reason for grounding is safety. Conformance to the applicable requirements of the
authorities having jurisdiction is, of course, mandatory. However, grounding also has an impact on
electromagnetic compatibility. From the EMC point of view, it is desirable to have a low impedance
ground network, as a current flowing in the ground network will then produce low voltage in the network.
A low impedance network can be obtained using a multipoint ground scheme, with as many closed
ground looS12 as is economically possible.
9.3.4 Fuse
The fuse provided in the unit will not blow during normal operation. If the fuse blows the
TDcontroller has malfunctioned. This fuse must only be changed by NEXO certified
service personnel. In any case do not replace the fuse with a non-certified NEXO fuse, as
this will invalidate the NEXO warranty.

This servicing instruction is for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
9.3.5 Recommendations for wiring the sense lines
The impedance of the sense inputs of the TDcontroller are high, so currents are low and therefore light
duty cable can be used. If the TDcontroller is housed in the amplifier racks an unshielded cable may be
used.
If the TDcontroller is located remotely - at the mixing position - a shielded cable is recommended,
without using the shield as a conductor. The cable must be well protected from public access, as it
carries potentially dangerous amplifier voltage.
When one of the channels is not being used and the corresponding sense line is disconnected, cross
talk onto the inactive sense line may in some cases produce signals capable of causing the inadvertent
illumination of the Sense LED on that channel; although this has no effect on the internal operation of
the TDcontroller, it can be cured by short-circuiting the terminals of the inactive sense line.
9.3.6 Recommendations for wiring the audio outputs
The output stages can drive several amplifiers in parallel; however it is not advisable to work with loads
of less than 1kOhm(and strictly forbidden to drive less than 600Ohms). It is best to check the
impedance characteristics of the amplifier inputs - supplied by the manufacturer - to check how many
amplifier channels can be paralleled. Where precise information is not available (and taking 10kOhm as
the minimum value possible), ten channels in parallel per output is a sensible maximum.
9.3.7 Electromagnetic environments
The emission (this word describes all types of electromagnetic noise radiated by the equipment)
requirements which have been applied to Nexo’s TDcontrollers are the stringent requirements of the
”Commercial and light industrial environment” of the product family EMC standard for emission.
The immunity (this word describes the ability to cope with electromagnetic disturbance generated by
other items and natural phenomena) requirements that we have considered exceed those applicable to
the ”Commercial and light industrial environment” of the product family EMC standard for immunity. In
order to provide a further safety margin, we recommend that you do not operate the TDcontrollers in the
presence of electromagnetic interference exceeding half of the limits found in this standard.
These two EMC standards are those
applicable to pro-audio equipment for the
implementation of the ”EMC directive”.
9.3.8 Analogue signal cables
Analogue signals should be connected to the
input and output ports of the TDcontroller via
shielded twisted pair or starquad cable fitted
with XLR connectors on the TDcontroller side.
We recommend the use of low transfer
impedance cables with a braided shield and a
transfer impedance below 10 mΩ/m. For the
sense inputs, the noise requirements are not
as stringent, and any kind of twisted pair cable
will be adequate.
The TDcontroller is intended to be used with
symmetrical (balanced) sources (for instance a mixer) and symmetrical loads (for instance a power
amplifier (see figure). You can see that the TDcontroller provides a low impedance path between pin 1
of its XLR connectors and its chassis. The TDcontroller can sustain high current in pin 1 without
NEXO ANALOGUE GEO S12TD CONTROLLER Page 71/112
degradation of output noise. We recommend that the sources and loads you use have the same
desirable characteristics.
It is sometimes claimed that connecting cable shield at both ends creates ground looS12, and that the
current flowing in such looS12 will produce noise. This is not the case for most professional audio
equipment. In short, there are two kinds of looS12 in which voltages are present: the looS12 formed by
signal wires, and the looS12 formed by grounded conductors, among which are protective earth
conductors (PE) and signal cable shields.
When a cable shield is grounded at both ends, a loop is closed, and the resulting current causes a
reduction of the voltage induced on signal lines. This effect is what the cable shield is intended to
produce, since this is how it protects your signal from magnetic fields.
If you are using an asymmetrical (unbalanced) source, it is recommended to use a shielded twisted pair
and to connect wire 3 of the cable to the
shield at the source output end (see figure).
This technique prevents noise currents
flowing on the return path of the signal. If
you are using an amplifier with an
asymmetrical (unbalanced) input, it is best to
use a shielded twisted pair, and to connect
wire 3 at the TDcontroller end only, as
shown in Fig. 2. This keeS12 a good
capacitance balance for the signal, however
noise currents flow on the return path of the
signal. (Note that this is only acceptable for a
short cable).
If you are using a symmetrical (balanced)
source or amplifier which is prone to become
noisy when a current of less than 100 mA at
the mains frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) is
sourced into pin 1 of its XLR connectors, you might consider opening the ground looS12.

• Compensation of power compression effects on the system response curve.
The Analogue TDcontroller is designed to be inserted between the Audio source (console, preamplifier,
etc.) and the power amplifier.
9.4.2 Front Panel
Most front panel functions and indicators are located inside 2 distinct windows: left-hand areas relate to
functions and indicators dedicated to the optional Sub-bass section, while right-hand window contains
indicators concerning servo control operation for the S12 cabinets.
For more technical details about servo control operation and internal electronic processing, please refer
to section “TDcontroller REFERENCE GUIDE.” Page 74.
Turning the LS channel Overlap / Crossover
Pushing the CONFIGURE button
modifies the high pass filtering. It
does not affect the sub output, which
will always be a filtered sub signal.
(This is therefore not a Sub on/off
button). In the « Overlap » position,
the S12 is exploited to its maximum
capability.
This position should be used if the system is being used without a Subbass. It can also be used with the
Subbass; In this case, there will be a boost in the crossover area. The « Cross over » position is
generally recommended when using the Subbass.
Adjusting the Subbass level (Sub Level)
The potentiometer adjusts the level of the
Subbass channel, a range of 12 dB allows a
variety of configurations and application
conditions to be accommodated. Center
position of the knob is calibrated for 1
Subbass used with 2 distant S12.
Amplifier & Protection indicator
The bicolor green/red AMP LED indicates signal
presence at the sense input of the concerned
channel, allowing visual confirmation of the return
connection of the Sense cables from the amplifier
output. The LED is flashing red, when the Peak
limiter is acting, reducing excessive peak voltage
or levels capable of overloading the channel
amplifier.
• The yellow VLF LED indicates that displacement protection for the Subbass are engaged on the
SubBass channel. The temperature protection is not monitored.
• On each side of the S12 main system window, yellow TEMP and DISP LEDs indicate when
protection has been activated (temperature or displacement control) for the LF (the HF drivers
temperature protection is not monitored).
Peak Limiter adjustments
The Analogue TDcontroller features two independent peak limiter trims (one for the LSsub amplifier
section, one for the S12 amplifier section), which allows the peak limiter to be set to limit the maximum
power of the amp (without affecting the protections threshold). The peak limiter has no real cabinet
protection functions; it must be tuned to avoid overdriving the amp that in turn can generate obvious
clipping noise.
NEXO ANALOGUE GEO S12TD CONTROLLER Page 73/112
To set the peak limiter to the correct value, either turn the trimmer clockwise until the red LED lights at
the same time as the amp’s clipping LED, or use the graduation (power value given for 8Ωload).
9.4.3 Rear Panel
Audio Inputs
The audio inputs are two 3-pin female XLR connectors located in the area labeled BALANCED
INPUTS. Signal is applied between pins 2 and 3, pin 1 is connected to ground. When the Controller is
linked to a signal source with balanced outputs, the XLR connections are simply wired pin to pin (1 to
1, etc.). As a result of the balanced nature of the outputs (and providing that balancing is respected by
way of the connection to the amplifier), there is no hot or cold pin - the Analogue TDcontroller being
neutral regarding the polarity of the signal.
Output Level Switch
The 3-position output level switch is used to match the processor gain to the amplifier gain for
optimum signal to noise ratio. The three gain values available are +6, 0 or -6 dB. For minimum noise
floor the -6dB setting should be chosen, for maximum headroom the +6dB position should be used.
Audio Outputs
The audio outputs are the three 3-pin male XLRs located in the area labeled BALANCED OUTPUTS.
The channel corresponding to each output connector is identified by the labels Left, Right and Sub
L+R (mono SubBass).
Signal is applied between pins 2 and 3, pin 1 is connected to ground.
When used with an amplifier with balanced inputs, the wiring of the output XLR is simply pin to pin (1
to 1, etc.), the polarity of the signal being preserved if the source connected to the input is also
balanced (see previous section).
Sense inputs
The sense inputs of the three channels (left, right and SUB) are arranged on
a six-pole barrier strip set into the rear panel within the area labeled SENSE
INPUT. The Sense inputs are intended for connection to the output signals of
the amplifiers driving one cabinet of each the channels being used.
Connection is made via the female part - removable - of the connector
(supplied with the Controller) as outlined below:

9.5 TDcontroller REFERENCE GUIDE
9.5.1 Linear section
The characteristics of the linear section are independent of signal level, as opposed to the servo control
functions described in next paragraph.
Subsonic and VHF filtering
Low and high-pass filters are used to remove signals out of the usable frequency range, eliminating
sub- and ultra-sonic components that could possibly degrade the performance of the Controller and
amplifiers. These filters are optimized to realize the overall target system response.
Equalizing acoustical response
This equalization section provides the required correction to obtain a flat system response, as the
cabinets are acoustically designed for maximum efficiency in the whole frequency range. Active rather
than passive attenuation allows amplifier voltages to be lowering for a given output SPL and therefore
increases the maximum SPL achievable with the same amplifier.
Active equalization also extends system bandpass, especially at low frequencies where acoustical
performance is limited by cabinet size.
S12 / Subbass Cross-Over
From input signals summed together, the resulting mono signal is low-pass filtered to feed the SubBass
channel. When the channel is turned on (Subbass On), main channels (Left & Right) high-pass filters
are reconfigured to filter out signal components below the crossover frequency. Slopes and other filter
characteristics are optimized using techniques optimized for the actual acoustical data of each driver.
9.5.2 Servo Control section
Servo control of the S12 TDcontroller is intended to work with amplifier return signals present at the
Sense inputs (monitored by front panel LEDs).
VCAs and VCEQs
Each of the 3 Audio channels (Left, Right and SubBass) contains two voltage controlled elements
driven by servo signals:
• One operates on the whole frequency range (wide band VCA).
NEXO ANALOGUE GEO S12TD CONTROLLER Page 75/112
• The other elements work selectively as dynamic equalizers (LF-VCEQ & HF-VCEQ).
Depending on the nature and origin of the servo signals, either one or the 3 combined elements is used
to process the Audio signal. This feature allows more efficient processing while reducing audible effects.
Displacement control
The signal from the sense input is fed through a shaping filter producing a signal proportional to the
voice coil displacement. This control signal is compared to a fixed value and if exceeded, the LF-VCEQ
is activated with very short attack time to reduce speaker excursion.
Temperature control
Sense input is fed to a shaping filter to create a voltage proportional to the instantaneous voice-coil
current. The signal is integrated over time to simulate heat buildup in the specific driver. When the
resulting voltage exceeds a preset threshold, the VCA is activated to limit the voice coil temperature
within its safety range. Power compression is also simulated by lowering the high frequencies when
temperature protection is acting on the bass loudspeaker.
Dynamic control
To reduce audible « pumping » effects due to very long time constants of temperature detection signals,
an alternate integration is also processed with a shorter time constant. Whilst anticipating the
temperature protection and reducing its unwanted effects, action of this signal also improves dynamics
control.
Peak Limiter
The above mentioned devices provide reliable protection against potential speaker over-heating and
over-excursion. Nevertheless driving the cabinets at very high peak voltages (with oversized amplifiers)
as well as delivering distorted signals might be dangerous for the speakers. The Peak limiter is both
useful for:
• Maintaining good sound quality at high levels (it will reduce amplifier distortion).
• Increasing protection reliability (limiting peak voltages to levels that speakers can permanently
withstand, and reducing the occurrence of subsonic signals delivered by overloaded amS12)

10 NEXO NX242-ES4 DIGITAL CONTROLLER FOR GEO S12
IMPORTANT
GEO S12 use latest NEXO proprietary sophisticated DSP algorithm, which require
additional resources from the NX-Tension ES4 Card. All available GEO S12 setups require
that NX-ES4 card is installed in NX242 TD Controller.
10.1 NX242 Proprietary Functions
The NX242 is much more than a “generic” Digital Signal Processor. It provides all the standard
functions that you expect from this type of unit, but its real value is the interface between you and your
speaker system. The NX242 includes a number of proprietary functions, developed and refined during
NEXO’s 20 years of loudspeaker development experience, to ensure that your PA delivers maximum
performance and reliability.
10.1.1 Upgradable Firmware
NEXO releases regular firmware updates. Each new release is the result of our ongoing R&D program
combined with user feedback from the field. New firmware releases can include new setups for different
combinations of NEXO full range loudspeakers and subwoofers, improvements to existing setups, and
new software functions. The NX242 is thus evolving with each of those releases, profiting from the
latest discoveries of NEXO’s R&D department as well as the experience of NEXO users.
10.1.2 EQ & Filtering
Subsonic and VHF filtering
Low and high-pass filters are used to filter out frequencies that could possibly degrade the performance
of the TDcontroller and amplifiers. The filters are optimised to work in conjunction with overall system
response.
The high pass filters are also extremely important as they help control excursion at very low
frequencies, which is a major feature for system reliability. This is one of the main reasons to avoid
using setups which are not designed for the cabinet you are using.
Equalising acoustical response
NEXO loudspeakers are acoustically designed for maximum efficiency over their operating bandwidth.
The NX242 provides the correction required to obtain a flat system response. Active rather than passive
attenuation allows the lowering of amplifier voltages for a given output SPL and therefore increases the
maximum SPL achievable with the same amplifier. Active equalisation can also extend a NEXO
loudspeaker’s frequency response, especially at low frequencies where acoustical performance is
limited by cabinet size.
While many DSP processors can provide this type of EQ, none can include the extensive measurement
facilities and listening tests employed by NEXO R&D when adjusting NX242 setups for a particular
loudspeaker.
Crossover section
Crossover between different bands is tuned for every set-up of every cabinet. The crossover is
designed to ensure the best phase alignment possible throughout the crossover overlap region.
Each crossover is “made to measure” in order that each transducer can fit with its neighbour by
achieving a perfect phase alignment. Unconventional filters are used, ranging from 6dB/octave to near
infinite slopes depending of the type of crossover wanted. Time alignment is also performed in an
unconventional way, by using the crossover filter group delays in combination with allpass and/or
frequency dependent delays.

10.1.3 Protection
VCAs and VCEQs
Each channel has its own simulation and protection process.
Each audio channel contains a combination of controlled gain stages
(let's call them VCAs as in analogue circuitry). These VCAs are
embedded into complex composite signal chains that adapt change their
basic operation into frequency selective attenuation, similar to an analog
voltage controlled dynamic equaliser (VCEQ).
Each VCEQ and VCA is controlled via synthesis of several signals from
the various detection sections. That synthesis is in fact the envelope of
those signals, with an optimised release and attack time for each VCEQ
and VCA (depending on its frequency range and the cabinet selected).
Displacement Control
The Sense input signal is sent to a shaping filter producing a signal
whose instantaneous amplitude is proportional to the voice coil
excursion. This signal, after rectification, is compared to a preset
threshold matching the maximum usable value, as determined from
laboratory measurements. Any part of the signal exceeding the threshold
is sent to the VCEQ control buffer while the VCEQ acts as an
instantaneous (very short attack time) limiter to prevent displacement
from exceeding the maximum permissible value.
Temperature Control
Each sense signal is fed into a shaping filter (one per transducer), each
one producing a signal proportional to the instantaneous current flowing
into the voice coil of the transducer. After rectification, this signal is
integrated with attack and release time constants equivalent to the
thermal time constants of the voice coil and chassis, producing a voltage,
which is representative of the instantaneous temperature of the voice
coil.
When this voltage reaches the threshold value corresponding to the
driver’s maximum safe operating temperature, the VCA becomes active
to reduce the NX242’s output signal level until the effective temperature
falls below the maximum usable value.
In order to avoid detrimental effects induced by very long release time
constants produced by the temperature detection signal (system output
being reduced for an extended period, “pumping” effects, etc.), the
detection signal is modulated by another voltage integrated with faster
time constants that match the subjective perception of sound level. This
allows the controller to reduce the effective operating duration of the
temperature limiter and make it sound more natural, while the efficiency
of protection is fully preserved and protection thresholds are kept as high
as possible.
Physiologic Dynamic Control
The Physiologic Dynamic Control is intended to avoid unwanted effects
produced by long attack time constants. By anticipating the operation of
the temperature limiter, it prevents a high level audio signal appearing
suddenly, then being kept up for long enough to trigger the temperature
limiter. Without this, a rough and delayed gain variation would result that
would be quite noticeable and unnatural.
Page 78/112 NEXO NX242-ES4 DIGITAL CONTROLLER FOR GEO S12
The Physio control voltage acts independently on the VCA with its operation threshold slightly (3 dB)
above that of the temperature limiter and a low compression ratio; its optimised attack time constant
allows it to start operating without any subjectively unpleasant transient effects.
Peak Limiter
The peak limiter primary function is to avoid massive clipping of the amplifier, which can have some
very audible artefacts and in some cases may be damaging to the loudspeakers. Modulation of the
amplifier’s supply voltage rails can create very low frequencies or high-frequency, high level harmonics.
Since these occur after the NX242 in the signal path, they are not filtered by the TDcontroller circuitry.
The threshold of the peak limiter is set by the user to match the amplifier’s clipping point.
The second function of the peak limiter is to avoid huge amounts of power being sent to a driver. Each
driver is protected against overheating and overexcursion, but there could be other failure modes that
cannot be predicted by simulation (especially mechanical damage to the cone). Each driver is specified
for a certain power handling and a factory set peak limiter threshold is tuned to avoid any abuse.
10.2 Trouble shooting
The NX242 has been designed to be user-friendly. However with highly technical systems such as GEO
S12, incorrect adjustment of the NX242 can lower the quality & safety of your system. Listed below are
the most common errors encountered by NEXO Technical Support.
10.2.1 Operation of Multiple TDcontrollers output channels
Typically, GEO S12 systems require multiple NX242’s output channels per side. Eventually, two or
more NX242’s channels will operate within the same cluster. It is mandatory to verify the consistency of
the setups and adjustment between these channels to avoid the problems described below.
IMPORTANT
When using multiple NX242’s output channels in a single array, all parameters should be
consistent and set to proper values on each channel.
10.2.2 Amplifier Power (MENU 2.7)
If the amplifier power (MENU 2.7) is set to a value below the amplifer’s actual power, the peak limiter of
the NX242 will trigger continually, creating audible distortion. Please note that this peak limiter is not set
to act as a compressor on the signal. It is intended to minimize the clipping of the amplifier by operating
slightly after
the amplifier’s clipping point.
One way to properly adjust this parameter is to set amplifier power at maximum (5000W) and decrease
the value until the amplifier and TDcontroller clip at the same time.
10.2.3 Amplifier Gain (MENU 2.6)
It is very important to check the gain of each channel. These values should be set in agreement with
amplifier gain. The second line of the MENU2.6 displays the gain as seen by the NX242 to ease the
setting of this parameter.
10.2.4 Gains
If your amplifier gains are not the same on each channel, you will have to adjust the inter-channel gain
in order to compensate for this amplifier gain difference.
NEXO NX242-ES4 DIGITAL CONTROLLER FOR GEO S12 Page 79/112
10.2.5 Delays
Multiple NX242’s can be used on a single GEO S12 array. When changing the delay in one NX242
TDcontroller that is part of a multi-controller system, take great care to have exactly the same delay
setting in all NX242 TDcontrollers that receive the same input signal (i.e. all NX242’s that are fed from
the Left output of the mixing console should have the same delay settings). A Tangent Array is very
sensitive to delay differences between sections of the array in the same line. You could experience
coverage problems if all delays applied to a Tangent Array are not equal.
Please refer to the chapter in the NX242 User Manual on setting delay for proper time alignment
between GEO S12 and ALPHA S2 / CD18 / GEO SUB .
10.2.6 Reversed Cardioid Pattern
Polarity checks are often performed while the system is being set up. Keep in mind that cardioid
speakers may also require a coverage test. If you invert two outputs of the NX242, you could have the
main lobe inverted and firing to the rear. It may be quite hard to detect a reversed cardioid pattern when
it involves one section of a large array.
A good practice is to test the each cabinet in the array with the front speakers only. The system is then
omni-directional. Then turn on the back speaker: you should notice a massive reduction at the back,
and additional level at the front.
This test must be done in addition to the usual polarity test.
10.2.7 Using the wrong NX242 setups for a given cabinet
Each NX242 setup is tailored for a certain NEXO loudspeaker. Using the wrong setup will create safety
and quality problems. Always check that every cabinet in your system is being driven by the correct
NX242 setup.
10.2.8 Connections
To ensure correct electronic behaviour, and to guarantee specifications and EMC performance, a
NX242 must be properly wired. Always use balanced connectors with the shield connected to pin 1 on
both sides. For more wiring recommendations please refer to the application note in the NX242 manual
update.
Page 80/112 SYSTEM ALIGNMENT GUIDELINES
11 SYSTEM ALIGNMENT GUIDELINES
The NX242’s factory delay presets are optimised to provide the best possible crossover between the
GEO S12 and CD18 / S2 / GEO SUB systems. The reference point for this adjustment is the front of
each cabinet. (This means that the internal delays needed to achieve a correct time alignment are set
for cabinets standing next to each other with both fronts aligned). We recommend that the system is
adjusted so that arrivals from GEO S12 and CD18 / S2 / GEO SUB are coincident at a fairly distant
listening position.
11.1 GEO S12 Vertical Cluster design
Cluster design must be done with Geosoft2, which provides very intuitive and fast method to determine
all cluster geometry parameters in relation to venue where cluster is implemented.
IMPORTANT
Geosoft2 is a freeware downloadable on www.nexo-sa.com. Please check our website
periodically for upgrades.
Never install a GEO S12 cluster without checking its acoustical performances and
mechanical safety in Geosoft2 prior to installation.
Please contact your local distributor for assistance and/or training on Geosoft2

11.3 Driving the GEO SUB’s from the AUX send
It is quite common to use the AUX send of a mixing desk to drive the Sub section of a PA system. This
gives the mixing engineer more flexibility to set the level of the subbass relative to the main PA, apply
special effects, or to use a different EQ on the Sub. However, it also raises some serious issues for the
performance & safety of the system (mostly time alignment).
At NEXO, great care is taken to design optimum phase alignment from one octave above to one octave
below the crossover frequency point. By doing so, drivers are working perfectly together and providing
the best efficiency possible. It is then up to the user to adjust the delay on the NX242 to match the
physical path difference of the different systems. It is thus possible to get a well adjusted system, even
without measuring instruments.
If CD18’s / GEO SUB’s / S2’s are driven form an AUX output, NX242 is fed with two signals coming
from different sources. If those two sources (MAIN output & AUX send) are not exactly in phase, delay
is introduced into the crossover between the GEO S12 array and the CD18’s / GEO SUB’s / S2’s. It is
then mandatory to use proper measurement tool to optimize phase response.
Why is it unlikely that AUX and MAIN outputs have the same phase?
• Signal paths are likely to be different; any filter modifying the bandwidth and EQ of the
signal is also affecting the phase.
Example: a 24dB/oct high pass filter set at 15Hz is affecting amplitude of the signal by only
0.6dB at 30Hz, but the phase shift is 90°!! At 100Hz we can still measure 25° of phase shift.
• Limiting bandwidth with a low pass filter can introduce a phase difference of up to 180°
(completely out of phase) at the cross over point.
• If the signal is passing though any digital equipment, between 1.4ms and 2.2ms is being
added (around 70° phase shift at 100Hz) due solely to the converter delay! The additional
delay due to the processing itself (look ahead compressor, delay…) can be quite important
as well.
If both outputs are not measured in the actual configuration, it is very likely that phase alignment will not
be correct.
Consequences of badly aligned systems
Mis-aligned systems have lower efficiency: i. e. for the same SPL the system will have to be driven
harder, activating the displacement & temperature protection at lower output levels. Both sound quality
and reliability will decrease as the system is stressed.
Precautions & Checks
Before using the AUX of a mixing desk, ensure that MAIN and AUX outputs are in phase;
Always apply identical EQ or processing on both channels, so that the phase relationship will not be
altered;
Never add additional low pass filtering on the SUB or high pass filtering on the main system;
Inverting polarity on one channel should always result in a massive difference near the crossover point.
If that is not the case, the system is no longer aligned.
11.4 Recommended installation tools and equipment
• Tape measure – should be 30m/100ft in length and be of durable fibre material. Have one per
array available to speed up the installation process.
• Laser Inclinometer – For measuring vertical and horizontal angles in the venue. An ideal product
is the Calpac ‘Laser projecting a dot’ version which costs approximately 60 €.
• Digital remote inclinometer – with a remote sensor in the bumper and a meter unit at ground level
to ensure precise installation of the cluster. NEXO GeoSight system predicts the stationary angle
Page 82/112 SYSTEM ALIGNMENT GUIDELINES
of the array, even while it is swinging, and has a green laser mounted coincident to and parallel
with the axis of the topmost cabinet.
• Spirit level – used to ascertain the trueness of the surface from which the angle measurements
originate.
• Rangefinder measuring device – either a Disto type laser measure or an optical laser rangefinder
can be used. Devices such as the Bushnell ‘Yardage Pro’ sports rangefinders provide sufficiently
accuracy and are easy to use. They have the additional advantage of working very well in bright
sunlight.
• Electronic calculator with trigonometric functions to calculate the height from ground level to
points in the room. The formula to calculate height of a point from measured angle and distance
is:
• Height of point = Sin(vertical angle in degrees) x distance to point
• NB: Take care when using spreadsheets as they calculate using radians by default. To convert
degrees to radians use the formula:
• Angle (in radians)=3.142 x Angle (in degrees)/180
• Computer – Laptop or Desktop PC running Windows XP with the current version of NEXO
GeoSoft2 installed. It is not possible to configure a Geo tangent array properly without using
GeoSoft2. Note that, when GeoSoft2 designs are prepared prior to arrival at the venue, it is often
necessary to modify or update the design to accommodate special circumstances. A PC is
absolutely essential to make such changes.
• Audio Analysis Software – recommended but not absolutely essential, programs such as Easera
Systune, Spectralab or Spectrafoo enable rapid and detailed analysis of the installation. Consider
taking a training course in using one of these tools if you are not already competent with them – it
will pay dividends in increased performance of the system.

Page 84/112 GEO S12 – RS15 / CD18/S2/GEOSUB SYSTEM CHECK LIST
12.4 Are the speakers properly connected and angled ?
• Attach the first series of modules to the bumper.
• Before flying, verify that all channels of all modules are functioning properly.
• Make sure that each RS15 / CD18 / 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 only are on. When listening from the front, you should hear a strong increase in the
LF range when connecting the rear drivers.
• To check that all front elements have the proper amplitude and phase, you should listen to the
upper boxes at a close distance (<1 meter). You should be able to move from the top to the
bottom of the cluster without hearing any change in the tonal balance.
• Verify that the angle settings are the same on both sides of each module.
• Raise the bumper, attach the next series of modules and repeat the above checks.
• Make sure that these series of modules sum properly with the modules above them.
• When all the modules are flown, check that the aiming angles are the same left and right.
• Make sure that multiple GEO S12 and RS15 / S2 / CD18 / GEO SUB are summing properly: 6
dB gain per doubling of quantity.
12.5 Final Pre-Sound Check Check
Play a CD track mono left, and then right: both sides must sound strictly identical. When listening in the
centre between Left and Right GEO S12’s, everything from LF to HF should be located to the “phantom
centre” position. If not, repeat the above check sequence to identify the source of the problem.
