The Mierscher Kulturhaus renews the sound of its auditorium with Nexo Geo

The Luxembourg theater Mierscher Kulturhaus has marked the restart of public entertainment with a complete renovation of sound reinforcement systems, with the installation of the line array Nexus Geo.

Located in the center of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, The Mierscher Kulturhaus is a theater with capacity for 380-500 people and, now, has the first Nexo line array system in Luxembourg, designed and installed by integrator Lemon Event Support and supplied by Audio-Technica Benelux.

El Mierscher Kulturhaus contacted Paul Thyes, of Lemon Event Support, after making the decision to upgrade their aging point source public address system. The theater wanted to expand its technical capacity and was looking for a system that would allow it to host larger concerts and better serve its wide cultural theater offering., danza, exhibitions, workshops and events.

As soon as COVID-19 restrictions allowed it, Thyes and his team set up a demonstration of the solution they proposed, a mid-size line array from the Nexo Geo M series, inside the auditorium. The venue has a retractable seating system and a stage that can be lowered, transforming space. This means that no audio equipment could be stacked on the floor. All components had to be blown up, including subwoofer cabinets.

The choice for this project was an L/R array system of 5 GEO M10 modules each, further 2 MSUB18 subwoofers per side, very low profile in the auditorium. Nexo's new P12 compact point source cabinets are used as front fills for the first rows of the audience.

Lemon Event Support's Lead Audio Technician, Christophe Becker, explains how he has put two settings on the Nexo NXAMP4x4Mk2 controllers/amplifiers, “that will work with the array equalizer to make the upper stages pull a little further, and improve coverage when the stands are retracted and there are more people in the venue”.

The system has been networked with Dante, which means less wiring has been used and gives the room engineer an optimal way to monitor the system”.

“This is one of the three installations we have executed in Luxembourg in the last year”, continues Paul Thyes. “Although we have 11 years using Nexo cabinets, since Lemon Event Support was founded, We recently looked for a brand that could offer us a truly modern line array design, supplied by companies with which we could establish a long-term relationship”.
