Nexo GEO S805
Earlier this year EDGE ShowTek of Northbrook, IL was tapped for audio support of the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup celebration rally, where an estimated two million fans lined Michigan Avenue to cheer for their team.
Due to a limited, four-hour set up time along with weight restrictions on hang points, EDGE determined 48 boxes of Nexo GEO S line arrays would meet the challenge.
“Nexo GEO S was the perfect solution because we were able to get enough PA out there to allow the crowd to hear well and get the job done in the ‘not enough’ time we were allotted,” states Rich Mullen, principal of EDGE Show- Tek.
Eight Nexo PS15s, eight PS10s, six CD18s, and a Yamaha LS9-16 were also part of the audio production system.

The NX242 Digital TDcontroller presets are precisely matched to the GEO S8 Series cabinets and include sophisticated protection systems.
