Netherlands – Located in Dutch the city of Enschede, the University of Twente pioneers the fusing of technology, science and engineering with social sciences to impact the world around it, with students, scientists and educators typically sharing a curious, entrepreneurial spirit.
Recently, the university’s supplier of audiovisual solutions SYNC. solutions | Audiovisual (formerly known as Fidato) contacted local NEXO distributor Audio-Technica Benelux to assist with designing a new sound system for a lecture theatre in which the incumbent 12-inch line array was big, visually obtrusive and proving increasingly unreliable.
Brand Manager and Sales Engineer Bert Koenders takes up the story; “We proposed an ultra-compact NEXO GEO M6 system with additional NEXO ID24 speakers covering the top tiers of seating in what is a very steeply raked room.”
“The cabinets are finished in white to blend in with their surroundings and a pair of NEXO L15 subs are mounted in the ceiling and cannot be seen at all from the room.”
“The result is a system that’s much smaller and visually discreet than its predecessor yet is also impressively powerful with excellent speech intelligibility and very consistent coverage across the room.”
Power and processing for the two hangs of 6 x GEO M6 and 2 x L15 subs come from NEXO NXAMP4X1 Powered TD Controllers, with the 6 x ID24s powered by smaller NEXO nanoNXAMPs, ensuring a capable and cost-effective amplification solution.
In conclusion, Bert says: “The room can be divided down the middle to create two separate lecture spaces, and the system is configured L/R, L/R such that everyone experiences a stereo image.”
