Which NEXO Set-Up Is Best for Installation?

NEXO offers solutions ranging from subtle background music to powerful line arrays for large auditoriums. The best set-up depends on your space, budget, and needs. This guide will help you choose, and our team is here to support your decision.

Theatres & Performance Venues

The main goal in these spaces is to provide even sound coverage throughout the auditorium. NEXO’s P Plus Series, EPS range, Alpha Plus and GEO M and GEO S line arrays are popular choices, working well in both mid-sized theatres and large auditoriums. They deliver consistent sound quality from the front to the back row.

Houses of Worship

Clear speech is just as important as music in these settings. NEXO’s GEO S12 and ePS-EN54 models meet the EN 54 standard for voice alarms when needed. For smaller or more sensitive spaces, the P Plus Series and compact ID Series cabinets are a good fit.

Retail, Hospitality & Background Music

In bars, restaurants, and shops, it’s important to have compact speakers that blend in rather than just focusing on volume. NEXO’s ID Series and PS models feature rotatable horns for flexible installation, and IP-rated options are available for semi-outdoor spaces.

Museums & Experiential Spaces

These spaces often need sound carefully directed so it doesn’t spill over between exhibits. NEXO’s compact ID and P+ Series speakers, combined with NXAMP’s multi-zone processing, let you control the sound for each exhibit individually.

Outdoor & Semi-Outdoor Installations

If your speakers will be outdoors or in semi-outdoor areas, NEXO’s IP54-rated ID, PS, P+, GEO M, and GEO S models are designed to withstand the weather. Some versions even offer IP55 protection, so you don’t have to worry about compromising performance.

Large-Scale Fixed Installations

For stadiums, arenas and large venues needing serious scale, NEXO’s STM system — best known from the touring world — is also deployed in select large-scale fixed installations, delivering the same modular, high-output performance permanently rigged in place.

Not Sure Which Fits Your Project?

Each installation is unique, and the best choice depends on your room’s acoustics, your budget, and how the system will fit into the space. AC-ET’s audio team uses NEXO’s NS-1 software to model your venue and recommend a system.
