NEXO equips EPS to deliver a range of summer projects from Festivals to Fashion

Encompassing a trio of uniformly voiced, single 6, 10 and 12-inch line array systems with 12, 15 and 18-inch partner subs, NEXO’s compact and cost-effective GEO M Series delivers unrivalled flexibility to hard working rental companies required to cover a large range of events with little downtime between them.

One such company is Oxfordshire-based Event Production Services which has seen a busy summer deploying its GEO M inventory on a variety of jobs all over its home UK county and beyond.

Four stages at the 25^th anniversary Truck Festival at Hill Farm in Steventon were rigged this year by EPS, with GEO M12 and NEXO MSUB18s in service on stages 4 and 5, hosting everything from comedy to rock bands and each covering an audience of approximately 2000 people.

“We got lots of compliments at Truck Festival from artists and audience alike, including people saying that these were the best-sounding stages on the site” reports EPS Managing Director Robert Nisbet. “GEO M12 is the perfect medium-format system. It’s large enough to cope well without being too unwieldly to transport and deploy.

“The rigging is very intuitive – we only need to show people once – and the lightweight ground-stacking bars make it really easy to use on smaller jobs.”

Monitors for EPS’ Truck Festival stages were provided by speakers from NEXO’s versatile and industry-standard P+ Series point source range. “We use them everywhere and they’re fantastic” says Robert.

At the Oxford Festival of the Arts, which runs for several weeks at an independent school, the EPS team needed a flexible and discreet setup to accommodate a variety of events, including interviews, book signings, and music performances. NEXO GEO M6 ground stacks, with subs on wheel boards, allowed for rapid deployment in shared spaces.

Speed was also of the essence at the Cowley Road Carnival where the EPS team could only access the site on the day and had to be ready to start at 11.00AM. Using GEO M12 ground stacks on M18SUBs, the team delivered high-quality sound for a variety of performances ranging from samba and steel bands through to UK Soca artist Scrappy.

Alongside NEXO’s GEO M line arrays, Robert is also a big fan of the company’s ultra-compact and powerful ID Series speakers.

“We provided full production for Oxford Fashion Studio’s catwalk show in Devonshire Square during London Fashion Week. The visual aesthetic was extremely important, so we used NEXO ID24s – a little speaker that certainly doesn’t sound little.”

Oxford Fashion Studio Director Carl Anglim praised EPS for their flawless execution. “A big thank you to the EPS team. “ We are all really pleased with the results and appreciate the efforts in bringing it all to life.”

Robert credits EPS’s success to their experienced team, versatile inventory, and strategic collaborations. “We work closely with Live Wire in Banbury, especially on motorsport events, where the NEXO ID Series is a great fit. It’s all part of that NEXO family feeling!”
