AUSTRALIA: NEXO’s latest point-source system, the P+ Series, is fast solidifying its reputation as a premier choice for live music venues across Australia, particularly in Melbourne. With its lightweight yet powerful design, the P+ Series offers exceptional sonic quality and SPL output, surpassing many larger and heavier alternatives. The ability to modify dispersion characteristics in seconds using optional magnetic horns or horn flanges makes the system a versatile solution for a range of live applications. Most notably, the P15 is rapidly gaining recognition as the go-to foldback wedge, earning the moniker ‘the wedge that never says no’ among professionals in the industry.

Recently, the P15 was deployed at Max Watts in Melbourne during Mammal’s ‘The Penny Drop’ album launch party. A long-standing entertainment hub since 1997, the 850-capacity underground venue is a favourite among major touring acts, offering a high-end technical setup that now includes NEXO’s acclaimed wedges. Just a short distance away, The Workers Club in Fitzroy also played host to the P15 during a performance by western Sydney’s Breakfast Road on their tour for the single ‘Global Warming.’ This Brunswick Street institution, known for its commitment to live music six nights a week, demonstrated the P15’s ability to deliver uncompromising stage monitoring in an intimate setting.

Further up Brunswick Street, The Evelyn Hotel utilised multiple P15 wedges for Jimmy Harwood’s ‘Flip It’ East Coast tour, providing impeccable on-stage sound for the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter’s latest EP launch. With a legacy spanning over 50 years, The Evelyn has been a cornerstone of the Melbourne live music scene, having welcomed acts such as Dirty Three, Powderfinger, You Am I, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Alex Lahey.

Meanwhile, at The John Curtin Hotel on Lygon Street, The Belair Lip Bombs’ ‘Jerry Can and a Van’ tour, presented in association with Sailor Jerry Ltd, saw the P15 wedges in action. The wedges played a crucial role in ensuring a seamless performance for the band and their accompanying engineers, reinforcing the venue’s reputation for technical excellence. Not far away, The Gasometer Hotel in Collingwood deployed P15 monitors for MAMMOTH’s ‘The Westside Junkie’ album launch, where the system helped to elevate the fusion of classical orchestration with contemporary hip-hop and raw storytelling.

In Thornbury, The Croxton Bandroom became yet another historic venue to integrate NEXO’s P15 into its stage setup. During Beddy Rays’ ‘Schooner or Later’ tour, the distinctive P15 wedges provided floor monitoring for the band’s signature coastal punk rock sound. Established in 1844, The Croxton Park Hotel has witnessed the evolution of Melbourne’s music scene, from the Gold Rush era to the heyday of Australian rock in the seventies and eighties. Having hosted legendary acts such as AC/DC, INXS, Men at Work, Rose Tattoo, Mondo Rock, and Midnight Oil, The Croxton’s recent PA overhaul has ensured that the venue remains at the forefront of live sound, with NEXO’s P15 now playing a part in its storied history.
