All Nexo seminars are free of charge to students and the scope of the ETC programme ranges further than just Nexo products. ETC1 looks at generic issues of sound reinforcement such as acoustic fundamentals, and the theoretical approaches of point source and line array systems. All seminars include practical hands-on training with Nexo's own loudspeaker technologies.
Dates have been set for three different seminars in France and in the UK, taught in French or English. The generalist ETC courses take place over two days, while the STM course is for one day.
ETC1: designed for sound technicians and engineers, this progresses from theoretical classes in acoustic fundamentals, point source and line array theory, to practical hands-on training with Nexo line arrays. Dates: 15-16 March at Nexo HQ in Paris (in French); 10-11 May at Nexo HQ in Paris (in English).
ETC2: designed for system techs and engineers, this course starts with theoretical classes on acoustics and Nexo technologies, and progresses to practical hands-on sessions covering system management and tuning with Nexo loudspeaker systems. Dates: 19-20 April at Nexo HQ in Paris (in French); 24-25 May at Nexo HQ in Paris (in English).
Get to Know STM: a special one-day course running in the UK, to introduce users to the general concepts of the STM modular line array, followed by practical hands-on sessions covering configurations and system management with STM M28/B112/S118 modules. Dates: 8 March and August 10, both at Sound of Music in Derby.
