NS-1 SIMULATION SOFTWARE P.15
NS-1 S 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 5 degrees to determine the
required amount number of GEO S805 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 S8 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 S8 cluster without checking its acoustical performances and
mechanical safety in NS-1 prior to installation.
