  • Page 10: Amplifier Selection

    2.1.4 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.
  • Page 11 GEO D10 is rated for very high power handling and has a 16 Ohms nominal impedance per channel (Passive 2 ways or Active 3 ways). 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: Recommended Channel 1...
  • Page 12 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, to operate at optimum level.
  • Page 13 For a 6 GEO D10 and 2 GEO SUB 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: •...

    The NX242 has been designed to be user-friendly. However with highly technical systems such as GEO D & GEO SUB, 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. 6.4.1 Operation of Multiple TDcontrollers Typically, GEO D / GEO SUB systems require multiple NX242’s per side.
  • Page 69 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.
