Do not open the speaker, do not try to disassemble it neither to modify it in any way. The system doesn’t include any user-repairable part. If the system seems to be malfunctioning or damaged, stop using it at once and have it repaired by a NEXO qualified technician.
WARNING: The depth of the M10 thread is 14mm (0.55 inch). Assembly on distance rod or speaker stand Place distance rod on the connector plate (M20) of the Sub. Place PLADAPT on P18-I. Put the assembly on the distance rod / monitor stand (diameter of 35mm).
→ Amplification • The P18 speakers must be used with a NEXO processor to handle EQ, phase alignment, crossover and excursion/thermal protection for the system loudspeaker. There are two NEXO processor series supporting the P18 speakers: NXAMP (4 channels) amplified processors and DTD processors (stereo + sub). DTD processors ensure optimal performances when used with DTDAMP power amplifiers.
PRESET PRESET Please consult nexo-sa.com for NEXO TD Controllers firmware information. For the P18, the following setups are available: → MAIN is the recommended setup for most FOH application, similar to previous firmware setup. → MONITOR is recommended for monitor applications. Warning: this setup is a low latency setup and therefore its phase is not compatible with other NEXO cabinets, including subs.
