World Leaders in Sound Reinforcement
First we set the standard.
Now we’re raising the bar.
Technology
A satisfactory audience experience often necessitates a compromise between the wide, short throw coverage required by listeners closest to the stage, and the narrow, long throw coverage required by those at the back of the venue. Similarly, coverage from monitors must be wider when the performer is closer to the speaker, and narrower when further away. The asymmetrical horns used in all PS R2 Series speakers are engineered such that the vertical coverage is narrower above horn axis than below. A few minutes is all it takes to remove the grille, unscrew the horn and rotate it to ensure optimum directivity in every application. When used as the main PA, PS R2 systems significantly reduce the amount of ambient, reverberant energy caused when loudspeakers misdirect their output towards walls and ceilings. And in monitor mode, more of the output can be focussed on the performer.
Front-of house configuration
In conventional Front Of House configuration, a PS R2 Series loudspeaker yields 50° horizontal coverage at 25° above the centre line. Rotating the horn expands this to 100° at 50° below the centre line, such that coverage narrows.
Stage monitor configuration
In stage monitor mode, a PS R2 Series loudspeaker yields 100° horizontal coverage at 30° above the centre line, narrowing to 50° horizontal coverage at 25° below the centre line for use when the performers are further away.
A sticker on the wide dispersion side of the horn indicates the correct orientation for FOH and wedge monitoring applications. The arrow on the sticker indicates the ‘wide side’ of PS horn dispersion. Users simply need to position the arrow such that it points in the direction requiring widest coverage, and away from the direction requiring narrowest coverage.
PS-R2 System Overview
More than 200,000 NEXO PS Series speakers are already hard at work around the world in applications where compact, high-output, linear response loudspeakers are required. Now the new PS R2 Series delivers as much as a 5dB higher sound pressure levels from a range comprising three scalable systems, all of which can be quickly and easily configured for main PA use, for use as floor monitors, or flown vertically or horizontally in installations or for use as side/rear fills.
The PS R2 Series offers the user a totally integrated loudspeaker solution, in which innovative transducer, waveguide and enclosure designs come together under the control of strategic equalisation from new, dedicated TD Controllers to ensure extended bandwidth and sound pressure levels, along with a high degree of speaker protection.
PS Series loudspeakers have a hard-earned reputation for performance and reliability, with countless examples performing night-in, night-out, for more than a decade, without a single problem. Built in NEXO’s new, state-of-the-art production facility in France and engineered from the outset for a long, trouble-free life, the new PS R2 Series is set to enhance this reputation yet further through a combination of even more exacting manufacturing standards and advanced driver protection technology.
