NEXO NeMo and NS-1: System Design and Control
NEXO NeMo and NS-1: System Design and Control
NEXO supplies software that brackets a sound-system project end to end: NS-1 for system configuration and simulation before a cabinet is hung, and NeMo for management and remote control once the rig is live. The intended workflow is straightforward — configure and simulate in NS-1, then deploy, manage and monitor with NeMo.
NS-1: configuration and simulation
NS-1 is NEXO's system configuration and simulation tool. It is described as a powerful, intuitive tool for ensuring uniform SPL coverage in any venue with any NEXO system. Use it to:
- Configure a NEXO system for the venue.
- Simulate and predict SPL coverage.
- Work toward uniform coverage before committing to a hang.
Important for installers: NS-1 is Windows only. Plan to run it on a Windows laptop or workstation at design stage.
NeMo: system management and remote control
NeMo is a complete system management and remote control solution for networked NEXO Powered TD Controllers (NXAMP) and Digital TD Controllers (DTD). It also supports industry-standard third-party remote control protocols, so it drops into a wider control system. From NeMo you manage and monitor the amplifier network in real time.
NEXO also offers Dory, a remote control solution for the Digital TD Controller (DTD) over USB.
Platforms — check before you spec
NeMo's platform support has shifted, so confirm the version per device:
| Platform | Status |
|---|---|
| Windows | Current (NeMo v3) |
| macOS | Supported (NeMo v2) |
| iOS | No longer supported (last version NeMo v2) |
Because iOS is no longer supported, do not plan an iPad-only control workflow for new installs — use a Windows machine for the current NeMo v3.
Downloads
NS-1, NeMo and their user guides (including the NeMo Interactive User Guide) are available from the NEXO downloads section.
Installer takeaways
- Do system configuration and SPL-coverage simulation in NS-1 — Windows only.
- Manage and monitor networked NXAMP and DTD amplifiers with NeMo.
- Spec NeMo v3 on Windows for new installs; iOS is no longer supported.
- Use Dory for USB control of a DTD where appropriate.
