ESL was introduced to the 45°N-12s by one of its regular monitor engineers, Chris Wibberley, commenting, "I was offered the chance to try out the NEXO 45°N-12 monitors a couple of years ago. I have found them to be the loudest and clearest wedge I have ever used! I like the way they couple as pairs and also how narrow their pattern is, so you don't have one mix bleeding all over another?. A truly excellent product."
The new system, comprising of 12 45°N-12s and a Nexo NUAR touring amplifier rack, was put straight to the test at the Lodestar Festival, which took place in Cambridge in early September, featuring headline act Razorlight alongside Kitten, The Sunshine Underground, and My Baby. Monitor engineer Paul Keeble worked the 45°N-12s hard, commenting, "Lovely clear vocal sound and very controllable on stage."
Orbital Sound has now been appointed as sole UK reseller for the Nexo 45°N-12 monitor system.
