The new Gier Sports Hall in Saint-Chamond is a futuristic arena combining functionality and modernity to host a variety of sporting events. NEXO equipped the venue with GEO S12 loudspeakers.
The loudspeakers provide sound for both the stands and the pitch.

As a municipal development, public tenders were held for all key contracts on the project, and Lyon-based consultants Atelier Audiovisuel collaborated with NEXO’s Engineering Support Team to design and propose a sound system. NEXO’s Carole Marsaud takes up the story. “I knew that GEO S12 would be perfect for this project, as the 30° angled boxes meant we could use clusters of just 4 cabinets each to cover the stands. And the fact they are 16 Ohms impedance meant we could power a full cluster with just a single channel of a NEXO NXAMP4X4MK2 which, along with the relatively low cost of GEO S12, enabled us to propose a very cost-efficient solution that met or exceed all of the performance criteria.”
NEXO was awarded the contract thanks to the performance and cost efficiency of the GEO S12.

For the tender for the sound system installation, the local integrator Videoscope Multimedia adopted the NEXO design and won the contract.
“We got great support from the NEXO Engineering Team throughout the installation process which helped to make everything go very smoothly” reports Videoscope Site Manager Camille Grange. “Then Carole and her colleague Bertrand were on site for two days to fine tune and commission the system. Everyone is very pleased with the result.”
