IMULATION SOFTWARE
NS-1 software is a R&D simulation tool derived application. It processes measured speaker data with
complex mathematical algorithms to assist the user in optimizing system design. Due to the complexity
of the interaction of multiple cabinets, it is simply not possible to reliably design curved vertical arrays
without using the processing power of a computer to predict the optimum array structure for a given
audience geometry. The design logic is far more complex than looking at a section drawing of the
venue, measuring the overall angle needed to cover the audience from the cluster location, and dividing
by 10 degrees to determine the required amount number of GEO D10 & GEO SUB cabinets.
NS-1 is an easy to use tool that allows to shape the energy leaving the cluster to fit the audience. It
predicts pressure levels radiated from the system to ensure enough cabinets are provided for the
application, as well as mechanical constraints for safe flown systems.
In addition, it provides mechanical information for all clusters in agreement with Structural Analysis
Reports (available in the Help section): dimensions, weight, gravity center position, forces, moments,
working load and safety factor.
Geo D10 and GEO SUB Structural Analysis Reports have been validated by German Certification
Organization RWTUV systems GmbH.
NS-1 installation package includes all NEXO User Manuals, Structural Analysis Reports and Certificates
PDF files (which can be found in the last section of User Manuals).
NS-1 is a freeware available for all Nexo users. Please contact your local distributor for
licensing procedure.
IMPORTANT
Never install a GEO D / GEO SUB cluster without checking its acoustical performances
and mechanical safety in NS-1 prior to installation.
