In the calm and elegant modern interior of Willebadessen's Baptist Church, a high-flying Geo M6 line array is almost invisible in its custom grey colours. The church approached Kalle Hogrefe of Sound Linear, the Paderborn-based installation and rental company, to design a system that would provide smooth and even SPLs to each of the 1500 seats in the sanctuary.
After spending a test weekend with Nexo Geo M620 full-range cabinets, pole-mounted for the evaluation, a favourable decision was made. Hogrefe used Nexo's NS-1 proprietary modelling software to design and specify a system which used seven Geo M620 cabinets in L/R arrays, with a centre cluster of three M620s. For the choir, three PS10-R2 speakers were fitted behind the arrays. These were powered by two NXAMP4x1 amplifier/processors.
For aesthetic reasons, the Church wanted to make the system as low-profile and invisible as possible, so all speaker elements were painted in a soft custom grey colour which blends in with the décor. This includes two new ID24 super-compact speakers, which are being used as floor monitors on stage. These twin 4" cabinets, the smallest ever to be made by Nexo, are paired with another new product, the DTD Controller: in a light 2U rack, this unit confers new affordability and accessibility on Nexo loudspeakers by connecting them to third-party amplifiers of every size and scale, in this case, an existing QSC amp.
