According to Jordi Vaquero from Soundmeans, Spanish distributor of Nexus, the brand was not initially included in the initial public tender. Nevertheless, the performance prediction created by the company for BTM ended up satisfying the needs of the Theater: “Given the size and shape of the theater, The tender required something with much less visual impact than a line array, but also a system that could provide uniform coverage throughout the venue. That is the main reason why the Nexo ePS was proposed, since it met all the requirements, offering great coverage and sound at a reasonable price”.

“BTM did a great job with the installation, and we come to help with the final adjustment of the system and to train the theater staff in the use and configuration of the system, including use of Nexo's NeMo app for remote control and monitoring. The theater staff told us that before the installation they lacked coverage, especially on the upper floors, but now coverage is excellent everywhere”, concludes Vaquero.
