Serbia - Touring their latest release A-Lex, a new album based on the book A Clockwork Orange, Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura's appearance in Belgrade made the most of a new Nexo S12 line array system purchased by PA company Light And Sound Design. Sepultura's front-of-house engineer Stanley Soares stated, "If you have a PA that sounds this good, even the most challenging acoustic venues can be tamed using almost no EQ."

Despite levels reaching 120dB at the mix position, there was not a single complaint about volume, and the system, configured with six cabinets a side plus four CD18 subs, demonstrated CD-quality detail. Using two NX242-ES4 TDControllers, the system was controlled by an EtherSound network. Milan Scepanovic, general manager of Light and Sound Design, happily notes that even colleagues from competing sound companies were impressed by its performance.

Since the Nexo S12 compact line array arrived in Serbia, its profile has been increasing, not just for live music but also for corporate and promotional events. At the country's largest cultural/congress venue, the Sava Centar, just six Geo S12s (plus four CD18s) provided ample coverage for 4,500 people, with an average 110dB at mix position and 105dB at the balcony, some 40m away from the PA (the back of the balcony is 65m away).
