  • Page 59: System Check Alignment Guidelines

    The NEXO TD Controllers factory delay presets are optimised to provide the best possible crossover between the GEO M10 and MSUB15 systems. The reference point for this adjustment is the front of each cabinet. (This means that the internal delays needed to achieve a correct time alignment are set for cabinets standing next to each other with both fronts aligned).

  • Page 60: Driving The Msub15S From The Aux Send

    By doing so, drivers are working perfectly together and providing the best efficiency possible. It is then up to the user to adjust the delay on the NEXO TD Controllers to match the physical path difference of the different systems. It is thus possible to get a well adjusted system, even without measuring instruments.

  • Page 61: Geo M10 - Msub15 System Check List

    Make sure that these series of modules sum properly with the modules above them. When all the modules are flown, check that the aiming angles are the same left and right. Make sure that multiple GEO M10 and MSUB15 are summing properly: 6 dB gain per doubling of quantity. Final Pre-Sound Check Check Play a CD track mono left, and then right: both sides must sound strictly identical.
