South Korean sound rental companies and engineers experienced the new Nexo Alpha+ hybrid-source sound system at Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park in early September at a special two-day event staged by local distributor A-Works.
The first day saw representatives from established South Korean Nexo rental companies including Way Audio, Plan 24 and Master Sound previewing the stackable, three-box FOH system, taking in a demo of the Alpha+ M210’s variable articulation waveguide block for the continuous adjustment of vertical dispersion, and the control of horizontal dispersion using magnetic flanges.
James Lee, managing director of A-Works, said: “Our customers were blown away by the clarity and consistent coverage of the HF, even at a distance of 150m. And all this from a system that’s so quick and easy to stack and cable up.”
Alpha+ demos on the second day were attended by a wider audience of around 60 new and existing Nexo customers, including some that were still successfully deploying the original 1990’s Nexo Alpha boxes with which the new system shares much of its DNA with.
Lee commented: “Existing Alpha users know to expect a lot of power and a long throw from the new system. But what particularly impresses people about Alpha+ is the added precision and articulation.”
