FAQs
What’s the difference between S1210 and S1230?
Mainly the vertical coverage angle—S1210 offers tighter 10° coverage, while S1230 provides a wider 30°, ideal for front/near field.
Can I use them with third-party amps?
Technically yes, but NXAMP amplifiers are recommended for optimal performance and warranty protection.
Is the system scalable?
Absolutely. You can start with a 4-cabinet system and expand up to large-scale flown or stacked arrays.
Are these speakers active?
No, they are passive and require external DSP amplification.
Can the S12 be installed outdoors?
Yes, with proper weather-rated accessories or enclosures.
Can I mix S1210 and S1230 in the same array?
Yes! In fact, they are designed to be used together for customizable vertical dispersion.
The NEXO GEO S1210, GEO S1230, and the full GEO S12 System are the perfect mix of power, portability, and precision. Whether you need tight control for an indoor event or full-scale impact for an outdoor festival, this system adapts, evolves, and delivers—consistently.
Built with the touring tech in mind and the venue manager at heart, it’s one of the most intelligent investments in scalable sound you can make.
