Engineered as the spiritual successor to the NEXO PS15- a system still seen in operation 30 years after its inception- comes the P15, the French manufacturer’s answer to besting its own ubiquitous 15” point-source legacy. Offering a compelling combination of contemporary design engineering and the brand’s hallmark pristine audio quality, the NEXO P15 has been embraced by major production entities nationwide as a multipurpose powerhouse. Most recently, P15 systems appear to be carving themselves an additional niche as a leading choice of foldback wedge for premier venues across Australia.
The P15’s curvilinear enclosures of custom birch and poplar plywood are a unique NEXO design, which enable them to remain lightweight and compact, whilst offering a sonic quality and SPL output surpassing many larger/heavier alternatives. The P15’s distinct shape was recently spotted at The Croxton Bandroom during Beddy Rays’ ‘Schooner or Later’ tour, deployed as floor monitors supporting the band’s ‘rollicking coastal punk rock.’
Built in 1844, The Croxton Park Hotel has had a long view of Australian history, stretching all the way back to Australia’s Gold Rush era. The mid-twentieth century saw an extensive bandroom built onto the back of the pub, with the Thornbury venue eventually becoming one of Melbourne’s most successful live music destinations across the seventies and eighties. A fresh look and a recent PA overhaul has lead to NEXO P15s sharing yet another stage imbued with Australian history: graced by the likes of AC/DC, INXS, Men at Work, Rose Tattoo, Mondo Rock, Midnight Oil and many more.
