Hot Panto for Nexo

Manchester-based STS Touring Productions have used their recently-purchased Nexo PS10 loudspeakers for a sun-baked pantomime in a 4000-capacity outdoor arena in Dubai. Using their existing Turbosound Floodlight as main system, Paul Collis, who has developed the company’s reputation for sound design, had no hesitation in specifying the new Nexo’s to complement the Floodlight on this prestigious job. STS is a multi-faceted company, offering production and sound design/hire services, as well as holding possibly the biggest Backline Hire department outside London. Alongside STS, Paul Collis also runs ‘Beat The Street UK’ on behalf of ‘Beat The Street’ based in Austria. They are a major tour bus supplier, providing fleets of Nightliners for, among others, Deep Purple, Status Quo and most recently a 12-bus flotilla for Britney Spears.

Paul Collis said: "Our secret in each side of the business is to provide correctly specified equipment and the right personnel. I need 100% confidence in the products I choose. The Nexo’s have a high sound quality, the ability to deliver high SPL, are compact and aesthetically pleasing. Equipment earns a good reputation for good reasons."The cabinets were bought from Leeds branch of LMC Audio Systems as part of STS's growing corporate and theatrical hire business. Already such big hitters as the World MNDA have used STS since their Nexo investment. Pete Dutton, joint partner of STS explained: "As soon as we told people we had the system, the work just rolled in. We're in good company; Nexo is a popular product with many other hire companies in the corporate market therefore the inter-company hiring has been great. The PS10's have it just right for speech, plus the PS10-amp/processor makes it virtually indestructible on dry hire."
