Nexo and Yamaha’s systems in Singapore debut
- Details
The two-day outdoor IGNITE! Music Festival is organised by the Republic Cultural Centre (Republic Polytechnic). Featuring an all-local line-up of artists and bands from Singapore, this is the republic’s primary student music event yet it is recognised for its technical staging standards and has a reputation for providing a state-of-the-art audio-visual experience.
Under the banner of distributor Yamaha Music (Asia) Pte, the AV partner for the festival, the latest Nexo and Yamaha products were deployed for the event, which doubles as a showcase for potential customers.
The main stage is powered by Nexo’s newest line array system, the mid-size Geo M10, which partners a 1.4″ titanium diaphragm HF driver with a single, Neodymium-magnet 10” driver and delivers an unprecedented ratio of LF response to cabinet size, outperforming many larger, dual-driver designs.
The system is configured with left and right arrays, each using eight Geo M10 modules flown beneath two Geo MSub15s. Another eight LS18 subs are on the ground in front of the stage. Nexo PS15s are used for out-fill, and PS10s for front-fill. The whole system is driven by four Nexo NXAMP4x4 controller/amplifiers, fitted with NX.DT104 network cards to operate on the Dante network.
The IGNITE! Music Festival is the first outdoor concert event in Singapore to feature Yamaha’s flagship Rivage PM10 digital console, providing the mix at the front-of-house. A Yamaha CL5 provides the monitor mix on stage.
