Rental Pro, the leading Czech rental company, provided a Nexo GEO Tangent Array system, supplied by MusicData, the Czech Nexo distributor, for a concert by the popular band Czechomor together with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Czechomor is a very popular band, the winner of three Czech 'Grammy' Awards. The concert took place in Obecni dum (The Municipal House), which is a very prestigious and historical music-hall in Prague, built in the first decade of the 20th century. The musical evening, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the multinational building company Skanska, was attended by nearly 1200 people.

The GEO system consisted of two arrays - six S-805s, one S-830 and two CD12s subwoofers per side. Nexo NX241s were used for processing as well as Camco Vortex-6 amps. Both the monitoring and FOH engineers were impressed by the GEO system. Even though there were many condenser microphones for the Philharmonic Orchestra, on the stage there was absolute quiet. The musicians especially appreciated the monitoring. "We usually use in-ear systems, but we've never had such an excellent monitoring system." The leader of the band and the manager have already made the decision that their next tour will be with a GEO system!
