The GEO S1230 and GEO S1210, NEXO's new additions to its internationally successful GEO S Series of tangent-array loudspeakers, are designed for both fixed and portable installations where high-performance cost-efficient foreground reinforcement is required.

Paired with NEXO's proprietary design software GEOSoft2, the new building blocks in the scalable GEO S Series offer absolute predictability, and full integration potential with EtherSound networks. Although the new cabinets are aimed principally at the design and installation market - outdoors in stadia and arenas, indoors in nightclubs and live venues - they also offer mobile deployment options to PA companies, opening up new possibilities for the GEO S Series.

The GEO S1230 can be used as a stand-alone cabinet, arrayable horizontally or vertically, a plug-and-play unit of impressive power and outstanding sound quality, backed by a professional's range of accessories for all applications.

Even waterproof versions can be ordered, fully CE compliant. It can be flown, using crossbow flying hardware, and ground-stacked with subwoofers. Rigging options for all fixed and mobile applications will be available. The S1230 is perfect for single box deployment in "distributed" applications, for example near-field foreground music in bars and clubs, or situations where high SPL paging is needed, such as train platforms, heavy-traffic concourses or walkways.

In line with NEXO's philosophy of scalable systems, the GEO S1230 and S1210 are intended to be used as building blocks in both fixed and portable systems. For mobile and touring applications, smaller PA companies may invest in a dozen cabinets, which can be deployed as six small systems or two mid-size systems. Inventory can be easily shared between users to form still larger PA systems.

The S1230 is a two-way enclosure, which achieves exceptional MF-LF output (103dB SPL nominal sensitivity-1W@1m) from a single 12" loudspeaker, coupled to a proprietary Directivity Phase Device (DPD). Vertical MF/HF pattern control is array-dependent, horizontal MF/HF coverage is configurable at 80° or 120°. The GEO S1210 is a partner product, operating to a similar specification, but with 10° dispersion characteristics coming from a more rectangular enclosure.

The arrival of the S1230 and S1210 is accompanied by the launch of a dedicated GEO S12-TD controller, a relatively inexpensive model which has a streamlined feature set ideal for installation use, but is also suitable for some touring applications.
