Nexo strikes the right chords at Bowl & Co
- Details
Central to the delivery of the visitor experience is a Nexo ID Series sound system installed by local audio-visual technology specialists Fein Media. Designed in collaboration with the Nexo Engineering Support team, the system provides the power and headroom to go way beyond background music and announcements, creating a party atmosphere in the venue, particularly on the regular DJ nights.
“Each pair of lanes is covered by a pair of Nexo’s compact ID24 speakers, with a pair of IDS110 subs in cardioid mode for every two double lanes,” reports Mario Schmidt, planning and sales manager at Karlsruhe-based Fein Media. “In addition, six ID24s are complemented by a further three IDS110 subs in the restaurant and lounge areas.”
Amplification and processing come from a rack of seven Nexo NXAMP4X1Mk2 powered controllers in a Dante network with a matrix mixer and wall-mounted control panels.
“As early as the planning phase I was convinced that this sound design would be the best solution for the venue,” says Mario. “The unobtrusiveness of the speakers combined with their performance and the avoidance of unwanted LF in the bowling lanes by deploying subwoofers in cardioid mode led to an expectation of the best results and a high level of customer satisfaction. But it’s no exaggeration to say that the results exceeded even my expectations and those of our customers.
“The owner is planning another bowling centre and would also like to have this venue equipped by us exclusively with Nexo components.”
