CONCERT SYSTEMS USA INVESTS IN NEXO GEO T TANGENT-ARRAY SYSTEM

USA Concert Systems is adding the GEO T to its huge inventory of NEXO PA systems, which includes Alpha Series, PS Series and a large quantity of GEO S tangent-array cabinets. The company is now the second largest user of NEXO systems in the USA (after Thunder Audio), and is the largest user of CAMCO high-specification power amps.

The newly-arrived NEXO stock includes 20x T4805 full-range and 4x T2815 downfill cabinets, with 8x CD18 subbass boxes. In addition to 4x NX242 digital processors and the full complement of flying hardware, Concert Systems has ordered 14x CAMCO Vortex 6 power amplifiers. According to Randy Frierson, Concert System's proprietor, "I felt I needed a premier line array. The GEO T we've got is enough to handle an outdoor show for 20,000 people."

For the first time, Concert Systems will be offering their customers, and themselves, a choice of line arrays. "We bought NEXO's GEO S equipment in 2003, and now it does about 75% of our work," says Frierson. "Put simply, it is the most incredible ballroom PA on the face of the earth. But now, we'll have the choice of GEO S or GEO T technology depending on the venue, its size, the horsepower requirements or the availability of flying points."

Frierson says that having the powerful new GEO T system will change their marketing and their customer base. "Although we're known for specialising in live concert work rather than corporate events, adding the NEXO GEO T to our inventory will make us go after more festivals and outdoor events." Concert Systems has already lined up numerous shows for regular client KC & the Sunshine Band, as well as a big Christian festival and SpringFest in Pensacola, FL. "Because we have enormous mix-and-match capability between the different NEXO ranges, we can bid for multi-stage projects, where we might use GEO T for the main system, GEO S for delays, and Alpha for fills. It maximises the potential of our inventory, but without compromise because, sonically, all the loudspeaker ranges have similar characteristics: outfront vocals, very smooth and pleasing high end, and a distinctive warmth."
