SOUTH KOREA: The who’s who of South Korea’s pro-audio community gathered in force at Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park this September, where NEXO’s local distributor A-Works unveiled the new Alpha+ hybrid-source sound system to leading rental companies and engineers. The two-day showcase marked a defining moment for the legendary Alpha lineage, marrying its iconic throw and punch with a new era of precision and articulation.

Day one saw high-profile rental houses including Way Audio, Plan 24, and Master Sound put the Alpha+ FOH system through its paces. At the heart of the demo stood the stackable three-box rig, headlined by the Alpha+ M210 with its ingenious variable articulation waveguide block, offering continuous vertical dispersion adjustment. Magnetic flanges further extended control over horizontal coverage, ensuring tailor-made performance for any environment.

Reaction was instant. “Our customers were blown away by the clarity and consistent coverage of the HF, even at a distance of 150 metres,” said James Lee, Managing Director, A-Works. “And all this from a system that’s so quick and easy to stack and cable up.”

Day two opened the floor to a broader audience of around 60 NEXO clients, including stalwart Alpha users who have been deploying the iconic 1990s-era boxes for decades. For many, the new Alpha+ wasn’t just a step forward — it was a reinvention. “Existing Alpha users know to expect a lot of power and a long throw from the new system,” Lee continued. “But what particularly impresses people about Alpha+ is the added precision and articulation.”

By fusing the brute strength of its heritage with the finesse of modern engineering, NEXO Alpha+ is set to redefine what rental companies demand from their touring systems — rugged, rider-friendly, and uncompromising in performance.
