RAYSUBOmni or cardioid. Install or touring.A new level of versatility in subwoofers.System ComponentsRS15RS18The success of NEXO’s gradient CD and GEO subs is derived from a distinctive cabinet design and optimized definition of phase relationsthrough sophisticated algorithms that permit high directional control and SPL output.With NEXO’s gradient subs having been implemented for all types of applications and gaining thorough knowledge in subwoofer design, NEXO,has been developing a new subwoofer technology that further raises the standards and the application capabilities of subwoofers.Over the course of the past year, NEXO have created their patent pending RAY SUB Technology.

RAYSUBSystem TechnologyDirectionalOmni-directionalRAY SUB Technology is based on optimizing positioning and phase relationships of radiating surfaces in vented enclosures, permittingacoustic distance from rear to front sections to always increase as frequency decreases; consequently rear and front sections sum upefficiently over the entire subwoofer bandwidth, allowing for an average of 5 db gain from the rear section in the forward direction andcancelling in the rear direction.Utilized in a stand alone format, RAY SUB Technology, allows the same cabinet to be configured for any polar pattern, omni-directional as astandard direct radiating subwoofer when speakers are facing the audience, or highly directional when a speaker cabinet is rotatedsideways or upwards.Used in arrays, RAY SUB subwoofers can be set back to back, front to front, in vertical columns, and when column length is sufficient bebeam-steered upwards or downwards. With this technology NEXO provides an unprecedented control in low frequency directivity to thesound reinforcement industry and further raises its globally acclaimed standard of excellence.

The RAY SUB Technology is basedon optimizing positioning and phase relationships ofradiating surfaces in vented enclosures, permittingacoustic distance from rear to front sections to alwaysincrease as frequency decreases; consequently rear andfront sections sum up efficiently over the entire subwooferbandwidth, allowing for an average of 5 db gain from therear section in the forward direction and cancelling in therear direction.Utilized in a stand alone format, RAY SUB Technology,allows the same cabinet to be configured for any polarpattern, omni-directional as a standard direct radiatingsubwoofer when speakers are facing the audience, orhighly directional when a speaker cabinet is rotatedsideways or upwards.With arrays, RAY SUB subwoofers can be set back toback, front to front, alternate, in vertical columns, andwhen column length is sufficient be beam-steeredupwards or downwards.RS15Comprised of a 15 inch transducer with a frequencyresponse of 35Hz – 200Hz in omni or 35Hz- 150Hz indirectional mode and a sensitivity of 105db SPL, the RS15 presents an unchallenged versatility for installationsand touring requirements.DSP Processing & ControlDigital processing for the RS15 is provided either byNEXO’s NX242 or NXAMP Powered TDcontrollers. Theprocessing permits the RS15 to display precise directionalpattern controls through DSP processed correlations ofacoustic distances between transducer and vent sources.Analogue ProcessingAnalogue processing is provided by the S12 TDcontroller.The controller yields a traditional, omni-directional LF andVLF pattern and performance.Accessories• Bumper • Dolly• Rear Wheel Board • Rigging PlatesDirectional modeOmni-directional mode
