Soda in Derby is the latest club to choose a Nexo Alpha E system, installed by Ivor Green Associates. According to Green, Nexo was "the only choice" for his clients who were committed from the very beginning to the highest quality system they could afford. "I was impressed by their enthusiasm and professional approach," he said. "Although it's not the sort of job we would normally undertake, having seen the venue and met the clients and realised that we were of like minds, I agreed to take on the contract."

The club operates on three levels with the Soda bar on the ground floor, a quiet chill-out area with no music at all on the second floor, and the dancefloor itself, home to the new system, on the third floor. Green specified two stacks of Alpha E comprising four Alpha B1-18 bass bins and four Alpha E-M mid-top cabinets each. Crown MA Series amplifiers provide the power and a Nexo NX241 digital controller handles system processing. "It's not a huge system, but it sounds impeccable," commented Green. "The clients wanted a sound system that would deliver high power with extreme clarity, but they also wanted something that would have credibility in this market, and Nexo delivers on all fronts. To my mind the Alpha system represents an excellent technical achievement, and Nexo are to be complimented.
