NS-1: How We Find the Right Coverage for Your Venue or Project

What Is NS-1?

NS-1 is NEXO’s free system configuration and simulation tool. It allows our team to model exactly how a NEXO system will perform in your specific venue before any equipment is installed or hired. This way, we can predict sound pressure level (SPL) coverage across the audience area for any combination of NEXO cabinets.

Why That Matters for You

If you do not have an accurate prediction, you risk coverage gaps, uneven volume, and spending your budget on the wrong system size. NS-1 helps the AC-ET team to:

Model your room or outdoor space and audience layout
Test different NEXO system configurations before committing to hardware
Optimise cabinet positioning, angles and quantities for uniform coverage
Match the system size to your budget, so you do not end up with too much or too little equipment

From Prediction to Performance

The output from NS-1 goes straight into NEXO’s NXAMP amplification and processing, using the same system presets from the design phase. This means what you see on screen is what you get on site. This strong connection between design and deployment is a key reason why NEXO systems perform so reliably in real-world settings.

Who This Helps

Venues and installers planning a fixed system, who need confidence in coverage before signing off a spec
Production companies and rental houses configuring touring rigs for a new venue at short notice
Consultants and system integrators who want an accurate, NEXO-specific prediction to support a client proposal
