A little over two years after Nexo and Yamaha announced the formation of a strategic alliance for product development and distribution, the first fruits of the collaboration were revealed at Earls Court.
The integration of amplifier, available in two 4-channel sizes, with the Nexo TDController is a cooler, cleaner and more efficient solution which will bring cost and operational benefits to live use as well as fixed installation, says the company.
The TDController function provides crossover, sensed amplifier control and system alignment, using digital software algorithms to combine this calibrated data with sensed voltage and current measurements, precisely controlling the temperature and displacement of each driver.
The larger of the two NXAMPS displays exceptional output performance; one unit will power up to 16 Nexo PS15 loudspeakers. Combining the two functions in one device will save the expense of buying a processor as well as an amplifier, and it will also reduce the number of analogue-to-digital conversions required by discrete units, adds Nexo.
