PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
BASIC PRECAUTIONS
Do not open the speaker system or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any
way. The speaker system contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning
or damaged, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified NEXO service personnel.
Water exposure: Do not expose the speaker system to direct rain, do not use it near water or in wet
conditions. Do not place containers with liquid on speaker system as they might spill into openings. If
any liquid such as water seeps into the speaker system, have it inspected by qualified NEXO
personnel.
SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT SAFETY RULES
Read User Manual before deployment. Before use of enclosed speaker system,
please ensure that anyone involved in system deployment understands the rigging –
stacking – pole mounting safety rules as described in the speaker system User Manual.
Failure to do this exposes people to potential injury or death.
Always consult qualified NEXO personnel if the device installation requires construction work and make
sure to observe the following precautions:
Mounting precautions
- choose mounting hardware and an installation location that can support the weight of the speaker
system;
- do not use speaker system handles for suspended installation;
- do not expose speaker system to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat to prevent
possibility of component damage;
- do not place the speaker system in an unstable position from which it might fall accidentally;
- if speaker systems uses a stand, ensure that stand specifications are adapted, and that stand
height does not exceed 1.40m/55”; never move the stand while the speaker is in position.
Connection and powering precautions
- remove all connected cables before moving the speaker system;
- turn off AC power of all power amplifier units before connecting the speaker system;
- when turning on the AC power to the audio system, always turn on the power amplifier last; when
turning the AC power off, always turn off the power amplifier first;
- when used in cold conditions, a gradual power ramp up should applied to the system on an 5 mn
period to allow the loudspeaker components to stabilize during the very first minutes of usage.
Inspect the speaker system periodically.

HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss but nearly
everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient
period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA)
has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: Sound Duration Per
Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response
8 90
6 92
4 65
3 97
2 100
1 ½ 102
1 105
½ 110
¼ or less 115
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some
hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating
this amplification system in order to prevent permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the
limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure
levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound
pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.

2.1.4 Configuring PS15 for Passive or Active Mode
Remove the six TORX screws that hold the connector panel (figure next page);
Remove the connector panel so that filter WAGO connectors become accessible;
In Passive Mode, WAGO connector from filter should be inserted in “Passive In”, and speakers
WAGO connectors should be inserted in connector “Passive Out”.
In Active Mode, WAGO Connector from filter should be directly connected into to speakers via
speakers WAGO connectors (passive filter is then bypassed).
CONNECTOR PANEL PASSIVE MODE ACTIVE MODE
2.1.5 Cabling
NEXO recommends the exclusive use of multi-conductor cables to connect the system: the cable kit is
compatible with all the cabinets, and there is no possible confusion between LF, MF and HF sections.
Cable choice consists mainly of selecting cables of the correct sectional dimension (size) in relation to
the load resistance and the cable length. Too small a cable section will increase both its serial
resistance and its capacitance; this reduces the electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker and can
also induce response (damping factor) variations.
For a serial resistance less or equal to 4% of the load impedance (damping factor = 25), the maximum
cable length is given by:
L
max
= Z x S S in mm
2
, Z in Ohm, L
max
in meters
The table below indicates these values, for 3 common sizes.
Load Impedance ()
2 3 4 6 8 12 16
Cable section Maximum Length (meters)
1,5 mm² (AWG #14) 3 4.5 6 9 12 18 24
2,5 mm² (AWG #12) 5 7.5 10 15 20 30 40
4 mm² (AWG #10) 8 12 16 24 32 48 64
IMPORTANT
Long speaker cables induce capacitive effects – up to hundreds of pF depending on the
quality of the cable - with a high-pass effect on high frequencies. If long speaker cables
must be used, ensure that they do not remain coiled while in use.
Page 12/82 AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH PS-SERIES
3 AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH PS-SERIES
NEXO recommends high power amplifiers in all cases. Budget constraints are the only reason to select
lower power amplifiers. A lower power amplifier will not reduce the chances of driver damage due to
over-excursion, and may actually increase the risk of thermal damage due to sustained clipping. If an
incident occurs on an installation without protection, the fact that amplifiers only generating half their
rated output power (-3dB) are used will not change anything in respect of possible damage. This is due
to the fact that the RMS power handling of the weakest component in the system is always 6 to 10 dB
lower than the amplifier rating.
3.1 PS and LS recommended amplification
Nexo recommends amplifiers in agreement with table below:
Recommended
Amplifier#
Channel 1
LF in Active Mode or
LF+HF in Passive Mode
Channel 2
HF in Active Mode
LS400 300 to 700 W / 6 Ohms
PS8 200 to 500 W / 8 Ohms
LS600 1000 to 2000 W / 8 Ohms
PS10R2 500 to 1250 W / 8 Ohms
PS15R2 Passive Mode 1000 to 2000 W / 8 Ohms
PS15R2 Active Mode 1000 to 2000 W / 8 Ohms 250 to 500 W / 16 Ohms
3.1.1 Current rating
It is very important that the amplifier behaves correctly under low load conditions. A speaker system is
reactive by nature: on transient signals like music it will require four to ten times more instantaneous
current than its nominal impedance would indicate. Amplifiers are generally specified by continuous
RMS power into resistive loads, however the only useful information about current capacity is the
specification into a 2 Ohm load. It is possible to perform an amplifier listening test by loading the amps
with twice the number of cabinets considered for the application (2 speakers per channel instead of one,
4 instead of 2) and running the amps up to the onset of clipping. If the signal does not noticeably
deteriorate, the amplifier is well adapted (overheating after approximately ten minutes is normal but
thermal protection must not operate too quickly after starting this test).
3.1.2 Amplifier settings
Gain value
Gain is the key to correct alignment of the system. It is especially important to know the gain of all
amplifiers used in your set-up. The tolerance should be about ±0.5 dB. In practice this can be difficult to
achieve because:
Some amplifier brands have an identical input sensitivity for models of different power rating (this
infers a different voltage gain for each model). For example, a range of amplifiers with different
power outputs, all having a published input sensitivity of 775mV/0dBm or 1.55V/+6dBm, will have
a wide range of actual gains – the higher the power, the greater the gain.
Various other brands may offer constant gain but only within a given product range, for example
they may fit fixed input sensitivity only on their semi-professional amps.
Even if a manufacturer applies the constant gain rule to all models, the value selected will not
necessarily be the same as that chosen by other manufacturers.
AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH PS-SERIES Page 13/82
Some products can exhibit manufacturing tolerances for the same model of ±1dB or more. Some
amplifiers may have been modified, possibly without any label indicating the new values. Others
may have gain switches fitted internally where it is impossible for the user to verify the actual
setting without opening the amplifier casing.
In cases where you don't know the gain of your amplifier (or want to check it) please follow this
procedure:
1) Unplug any loudspeakers from the amplifier outputs
2) With a signal generator, feed a sine wave at 1000Hz at a known voltage (say 0.5V) to
the input of the amplifier under test
3) Measure the voltage at the output of the amplifier
4) Calculate the gain using the formula Gain = 20 * LOG
10
(Vout/Vin).
Some examples:
Vin / Gain 20dB 26dB 32dB 37dB (1.4V sensitivity / 1350Wrms)
0.1 V 1 V 2 V 4 V 7.1 V
0.5 V 5 V 10 V 20 V 35.4 V
1 V 10 V 20 V 40 V 70.8 V
Remember that constant sensitivity settings will give a different gain value when the amplifier power is
different.
NEXO recommends low gain amplifiers: +26dB is recommended, as it is at the same time adequately
low and quite common amongst amplifier manufacturers. This gain setting improves signal to noise ratio
and allows all preceding electronic equipment, including the NX242 TDcontroller or PS TDControllers,
to operate at optimum level. Remember that using a high gain amplifier will raise the noise floor
proportionally.
Operating Mode
Most two channel amplifiers available on the pro-audio market have the following operating modes:
Stereo:
two fully independent channels deliver identical power into identical loads
NEXO recommends Stereo Mode for all amplifier channels feeding PS Series speakers.
Bridge-Mono:
the second signal channel processes the same input as the first channel, but with
reversed phase. The (single) load is connected between the two positive channel outputs using a
suitable connection. While the total output of the amplifier remains the same, the available output
voltage, the minimum impedance that can be connected and the voltage gain are doubled as
compared with stereo operation. Typically, only channel 1 input is active. Positive and negative
output connections vary depending on amplifier manufacturers.
NEXO does not recommend Bridge Mono Mode unless amplifier power is clearly not sufficient.
Page 14/82 AMPLIFIER SELECTION FOR USE WITH PS-SERIES
IMPORTANT
When in Bridge-Mono mode, check your amplifier user manual for proper connection of
outputs 1(+) and (2+) in relation to input phase.
Parallel-mono: the output terminals of the two channels are configured in parallel using an
internal relay. The (single) load is connected either to the output of channel 1 or to that of channel
2 (as if in stereo). While the total output of the amplifier remains the same the output voltage level
is also the same as in stereo mode. The minimum impedance that can be connected is reduced
by half due to the fact that current capability is doubled. Typically, only channel 1 input is active.
NEXO does not recommend Parallel-Mono Mode for any PS Series speaker amplification.
Warning on amplifiers signal processing features
Some high-end amplifiers may include signal processing functions similar to those found in the NX242
TDcontroller or in PS TDControllers ("loudspeaker offset integration", "limiter", "compressor," etc.).
Moreover, when this processing is digital, computation latency time can introduce a few milliseconds
delay from input to output. These functions are not adapted to specific system requirements and may
interfere with the complex protection algorithms used in the NEXO TD Controllers.
NEXO do not advise using other protection systems in conjunction with the NEXO TD Controllers and
they should be disabled.
IMPORTANT
For proper system protection, no latency time or non-linear devices should be
introduced between the output of the NEXO TDcontroller and the input of loudspeakers
through use of DSP modules such as internal amplifier signal processing.

4 PS SERIES SETUPS ON NEXO TD CONTROLLERS
4.1 Analogue PSTDControllers
Analogue PS TDControllers parameters have been optimized for 1 x Subwoofer (mono) used in
conjunction with 2 x PS Series speakers (mono or stereo).
IMPORTANT
- PS8 TDControllers are unchanged in relation to previous version (color change only):
previous generation PS8 TD Controllers and new PS8 TDControllers can be combined.
- PS10TD and PS15TD Controllers are totally uncompatible with previous versions:
confusion would lead to extremely bad results.
4.2 Digital NX242-ES4
Digital NX242-ES4 PS Series setups reproduce Analogue PS TDControllers parameters, with 4
independent processing channels.
4.3 NXAMP TDControllers
At PS Series User Manual current version printing time, 3 families of PS Series setups for NXAMP have
been defined:
- standard, reproducing Analogue PS TDControllers parameters;
- NXStream setups, for FOH applications;
- MTR setups, for stage monitor applications.
Please consult www.nexo-sa.com
for setup list and upgrade releases.
