NEXO GEO M10 Brings Performance and Flexibility to Rock & Rolls Cover Band Events

In 2026, Jokes Family Oy, the company behind the Rolls burger chain, upgraded the sound system of the Rock & Rolls Cover Band by purchasing a new NEXO GEO M10 system from Electro Waves. The goal was to find a high-quality, powerful and easy-to-transport solution capable of meeting the demands of their growing events.

Rock & Rolls Cover Band is made up of Rolls employees who are also professional musicians. The band performs actively around Finland, both at Rolls marketing events and at various corporate and public events. The venues range from smaller indoor events to large outdoor events, which means that the sound system is required to provide both performance and flexibility.

“Our performance venues have grown in recent years, and we needed a larger and higher-quality system to meet our new needs. We also wanted to be self-sufficient and not dependent on rental equipment,” says Tommi Oksanen, Administrative Manager of Jokes Family Oy, who also plays drums in the band.

Power, Coverage and High-Quality Sound

The most important selection criteria for the new system were sound coverage, maintaining sound quality even at high volume levels, and as compact a size as possible.

“We wanted a system in which the sound quality remains intact even when the volume is increased. In addition, the physical size and weight of the PA system had to remain reasonable with touring use in mind.”

The choice was the NEXO GEO M10 line array system, whose price-performance ratio convinced the band based on several practical listening and user experiences.

“We had the opportunity to test different systems at a few shows, and we were impressed by NEXO’s performance. It responded very well to our technical requirements and, of course, also to our budget.”

A Versatile Solution for Touring Use

The delivered system consists of twelve GEO M10 series line array loudspeakers, ten of which are M1012 models and two M1025 models equipped with 120-degree waveguides. In addition, the system is complemented by six L18 subwoofers and two P8 fill loudspeakers. Amplification and processing are handled by NXAMP4X1MK2, NXAMP4X2MK2 and NXAMP4X4MK2 amplifiers.

Special attention was paid to the practicality of the system for mobile use. The subwoofers were equipped with wheel boards, and the delivery also included bumpers and Kuzar K-31 lifts for suspending the line array system, enabling safe and efficient setup in different event environments.

A Result That Exceeded Expectations

The system has been actively used at various events around Finland, and the user experiences have been very positive.

“We have been extremely satisfied with the system. It has even exceeded our original expectations. The opportunity to adjust and optimise the system to suit our own needs has been particularly valuable, allowing us to get the full benefit from the system’s performance,” Oksanen says.

In practice, the system has proven to be both high-performing and easy to transport.

“The system is extremely compact for its size. It is easy to transport and pack, and it takes surprisingly little space in our tour bus. In addition, it has worked brilliantly at all our events, both indoors and outdoors. The system has been more than sufficient for the venues where we have performed.”

Smooth Cooperation from Start to Finish

Jokes Family Oy and Electro Waves have a long shared history. The company has previously purchased, among other things, a performance stage, truss solutions and lighting technology from Electro Waves.

The familiar partner also succeeded in convincing them in connection with this project.

“The system design process went really smoothly. We had experienced professionals helping us define exactly what we needed and which solution would best suit our requirements.”

Oksanen also praises the smooth progress of the project from delivery to commissioning.

“The delivery was fast, even though the project took place in the middle of the holiday season. We also received excellent support during commissioning, and the system was quickly made operational. Special thanks for this go to Minka Matikainen from Electro Waves.”

The long-term cooperation with Electro Waves has also strengthened the customer’s confidence with regard to future purchases.

Papa Andreas is a Greek restaurant located on Pohjoisesplanadi in the heart of Helsinki, Finland, combining a relaxed atmosphere with a high-quality dining experience. Its elegant interior and lively customer flow place high demands on the venue’s sound environment – the background music must enhance the atmosphere without interfering with conversation.

Electro Waves, the official Finnish distributor of AUDAC, designed and installed an AUDAC sound system consisting of six VIRO5 loudspeakers that blend naturally into the interior thanks to their compact size, along with two subwoofers that provide the necessary depth and rich bass response. The system also includes an MTX48 audio matrix. The installation is controlled via an MWX45 wall panel, allowing the restaurant staff to easily adjust the volume and select the desired audio source. In addition, a WP220 connection module functions as a Bluetooth receiver, providing a convenient way to connect external audio sources wirelessly.

The customer contacted Electro Waves well before the restaurant’s opening, making it possible to carry out a careful and proactive planning process. The sound system was designed by Electro Waves’ Marko Koskimies, with the project beginning with a thorough survey of the premises. Electro Waves was also responsible for the complete installation of the system, ensuring that all equipment was installed neatly, safely, and in accordance with the design while meeting all technical requirements.

The completed solution delivers a balanced and pleasant sound environment that is distributed evenly throughout the venue and adapts naturally to the restaurant’s different operating situations. With AUDAC products, even a smaller sound system can be implemented cost-effectively without compromising on sound quality.

Cultural Centre Poleeni is located at the heart of the Pieksamäki and includes a library, exhibition facilities and a large performance hall. Poleeni’s diverse programme ranges from lectures and stand-up nights to concerts and theatricals.

The procurement of the new sound system for the hall was carried out by means of a public tender, in which all the major PA manufacturers participated. One of the key selection criteria was a test performance arranged in Poleeni. Based on the competition, the NEXO GEO M series line array was selected as the new system.

The system is comprised of twelve GEO M10 speakers and three L20 subwoofers in a cardioid setup. Four NEXO ID24 speakers were added to the front edge of the stage to complete the audio picture of the front rows of seats. These installation model speakers, like the other speakers in the system, are equipped with fabric-covered front grilles.

The ID24 speakers ended up in the original order to ensure that the sound coverage would be as even as possible, and the sound direction would be correct even in the middle front row seats. The amplifiers are NXAMP4x4MK2 and NXAMP4x2MK2, and the system is controlled by the manufacturer’s NeMo software. In addition, two Nexo P10 loudspeakers were installed for rear/surround use.

Poleeni had already received six Nexo P12 speakers and an NXAMP4x2MK2 amplifier, which were integrated into the complete setup.

The installation was completed together with Poleeni’s technical staff. At the time of commissioning, the staff was trained in the use of the system by Minka Matikainen, Technical Specialist at Electro Waves.

Marsio – The New Meeting Spot at Aalto University

Designed in the spirit of Aino Marsio-Aalto and open to all, Marsio is a meeting place on the Aalto University campus, where you can immerse yourself in the university’s research, art and teaching through exhibitions, events, open lectures or films.

Electro Waves was responsible for the mechanical and lighting system package for the facilities, which included hoists equipped with truss frames and cable controls, film and projection projectors and lighting control systems that are also linked between different premises if necessary.

Marcus Korhonen, Operative Director at Aalto Studios said that the contractors were chosen on the basis of a careful comparison: “All suppliers were required to provide references for a corresponding project. Suppliers were compared by means of a reference interview, and their client companies evaluated, among other things, the companies’ punctuality, the competence of the staff and the quality of the installations.

A comprehensive and technically challenging implementation

The largest mechanical and lighting facilities at Marsio are the Stage, a large exhibition space, the Event Studio, a state-of-the-art production and research facility, the Digital Studio, and a 150-seat cinema.

The SIXTY82 TPM series of Middle Beam truss structures installed in the premises can be moved by means of GIS chain hoists controlled by digital OutBoard joysticks. The D8+-rated chain hoist control system includes a total of 149 channels and is divided into four dedicated control units, where the controllers connected by ethernet cabling are controlled by Outboard’s 64-channel RCX remote controllers.

The RCX-based system enables the implementation of multi-channel control cabling using a single ethernet cable. In addition, RCX remote controls can record the working time of the chain-driven controllers’ control units, which assist the user in the use of the light fixtures in working conditions during an event. All mobile hoist structures are equipped with cable management, through which the production and electrical cabling is brought to the truss junction boxes.

Certainty and efficiency through preparation

The scale of the mechanical project at Marsio was significant and required careful advance planning and a great deal of preparations. The 72 cables installed in the premises were handmade and fitted with various cables, connectors and junction boxes at Electro Waves’ production facilities in Espoo.

This enabled all cables and fibres to be measured and documented before delivery, ensuring functionality and significantly saving installation time at the site.

“The project was professionally managed by Electro Waves and implemented within the agreed timetable,” says Korhonen. “Any uncertainties and specifications that arose during the project were always solved in good faith. In addition, Project Manager Joonas Jylhä succeeded well in his task, which is crucial for the success of a project this large and complex.

High-quality lighting and control systems

The project delivery included cinema and performance/stage lighting equipment covering all production areas (Creamsource, Desisti, Robe, Chauvet, Astera, Cameo, Aputure) with all accessories (Admiral, Doughty, Powertex).

The sACN lighting control network of the production facilities was built around Luminex products and users were provided with event lighting control using grandMA egg candling tables. In addition, on a per-space basis, users are provided with wireless lighting control applications with pre-programmed files stored on Visual Productions storage devices, which enables versatile daily use.

“The three-level control model, where the lights are controlled with QSC, Blackout App or grandMA, works very well,” says Korhonen with satisfaction.

The Luminex lighting control network covers the entire large and small production areas of the building, including 11 switches, 120 nodes and the Araneo network management system for the configuration of the entire system.

A comprehensive delivery and successful cooperation

In addition to the large multi-purpose event spaces, Marsio is also equipped with several smaller facilities, such as self-service, virtual, smart stage, multi-purpose, experimental, greenhouse and test studios 1 & 2. The delivery also included a significant quantity of equipment, supplies and trusses for the takeout point for the user’s diverse teaching, testing and production needs.

The project package included all the tasks from project management and design to installation, programming, testing, commissioning, training and documentation. The total schedule was six months, and the project was handed over to the final customer for in-house and trial operation in September 2024. The final acceptance by the customer without comments took place after a three-month test period in December 2024.

The facilities are in full use and have received accolades

Marsio’s facilities have been excellently utilised for a wide range of events, research and educational uses. “The feedback from users has been excellent,” says Korhonen. “The Aalto Studios, Aalto Communications and Aalto premises team was awarded the Aalto Act of the Year award for Marsio’s first year in September 2025.”

The best customer experience is built on details

Founded in 2017, FitVantaa – Iron Paradise has grown into one of the largest fitness centres in Europe. The success behind its growth is in its newly renovated, modern facilities, where every detail has been carefully designed from the user’s perspective.

The new premises, opened in autumn 2024, include 3,700 m² of indoor fitness space and an outdoor gym covering 1,400 m². In addition to equipment and facilities, significant attention was given to lighting and AV solutions to enhance the customer experience. These solutions were implemented by Electro Waves.

FitVantaa – Iron Paradise’s founder and CEO, Riku Kärkkäinen, shares the background of the collaboration: “Our previous experience with Electro Waves was excellent, and I knew they were the best professionals in their field. That’s why they were the natural choice for this project.”

According to Riku, the lighting and AV technology have big impact on customer satisfaction and the gym’s overall success: “The customer experience is elevated to a whole new level. FitVantaa – Iron Paradise would be a completely different gym without the carefully planned lighting, soundscape, and other details. Customer numbers wouldn’t be this high without this investment.”

The lighting designed by Electro Waves includes approximately one kilometer of LED light strips, with color schemes that can be adjusted to match events and moods. Customers have praised the unique style of the lighting: “I’ve heard customers comparing FitVantaa – Iron Paradise to famous gyms in Dubai and Texas. They say it doesn’t look like a typical Finnish gym at all,” says the gym director.

The implementation by Electro Waves progressed as planned and stayed on schedule. “Everything went exactly as it should. The final result met our expectations perfectly,” says Riku Kärkkäinen. Additionally, automated systems installed in group exercise areas allow users to control virtual classes via a touchscreen, enabling easy adjustments to both lighting and audio settings.

FitVantaa – Iron Paradise also focuses on details that differentiates it from other fitness centers. The entrepreneur closely follows trends to be among the first to offer customers what they want. The world-class gym features diverse equipment designed for glute workouts, a year-round outdoor training area, and Egym machines that make workouts smarter and more efficient.

The collaboration between Electro Waves and FitVantaa – Iron Paradise demonstrates how meeting the customer needs and incorporating high-quality AV solutions can take the customer experience and business growth opportunities to an entirely new level.

In October 2025, FitVantaa – Iron Paradise expanded by approximately 600 square meters, becoming the largest private gym in Europe. Thanks to its equipment and overall concept, it also ranked among the world’s top ten gyms.

Five-star hotel av solutions

The NH Collection’s five-star Grand Hansa Hotel, recently opened in the heart of Helsinki, features state-of-the-art AV technology designed, implemented, and installed by Electro Waves. Located in a historical setting, the hotel combines two iconic buildings – the New Student House and Seurahuone – offering modern comforts and a premium experience to its guests.

The project was mastered by Electro Waves and it covered all areas of the hotel, from meeting rooms and restaurants to the ballroom. It also included the lobby’s information displays and sound systems. Hotel Director Tom Strandberg tells, that guests expect high quality in everything. “It is crucial that the systems work flawlessly. Well-executed AV technology is essential for us – the less feedback we receive about the equipment, the better. It means everything works as it should.”

Practical Solutions for All Spaces and Events

Electro Waves designed and installed a wide range of modern and functional solutions for Grand Hansa:

Ballroom

The three large screens and high-quality speaker system in the ballroom enable both meetings and celebratory events. Wireless microphones and an AV-over-IP system ensure ease of use.

Tampere’s 116-year-old Tavara-asema event venue combines a historic environment with modern technology.

Tavara-asema’s new event and concert venue opened its doors in January 2023. The space is equipped with modern, high-quality audio-visual presentation technology.

The project’s supplier was Torvinen Showtekniikka, which is located in Hämeenlinna. Torvinen Showtekniikka offers comprehensive turnkey solutions for all sound, lighting and video needs.

Showtekniikka has years of experience with NEXO audio equipment, so the products were guaranteed to be reliable and functional, and the choice for Tavara-asema’s sound system was easy to make. One of the project’s aims was to create a unified system, which meant ensuring that the audio technology consisted entirely of equipment from a single manufacturer.

“We acted as Tavara-asema’s technical partner, and we offer NEXO products for event production. This means that if Tavara-asema’s system ever needs additional components, we will be able to respond immediately”, says Showtekniikka’s Audio Technician Tommi Tjukanov.

The event venue’s biggest technical challenge was the location. A space in the middle of residential areas and hotel operations must account for noise disruptions, or sound leaks, that may inconvenience people outside the venue.

“NEXO’s system played a key role in solving this problem. We knew that NEXO’s cardioid solutions would be a fitting and cost-efficient answer. We have lots of experience and thorough expertise on Dante network signals, and Tavara-asema’s entire sound system actually uses Dante to transport all signals. This made it a natural system choice”, explains Tjukanov.

Tavara-asema currently uses NEXO’s P15 point source loudspeakers and ID24 sound reinforcement speakers. One of the ID24’s best features is that it can be placed or hung in a variety of locations and that it is compact – without sacrificing sound quality, of course.

Tavara-asema currently uses NEXO’s P15 point source loudspeakers and ID24 sound reinforcement speakers.

Electro Waves, who Showtekniikka was already familiar with, acted as an importer for NEXO and Yamaha products during the project.

“We are happy that we had the opportunity to work with Electro Waves’ experts to design the exact set up we wanted. We would like to thank everyone on the Electro Waves team, with special thanks to Kari Lehtonen for quick responses, constructive discussions and all the effort put into the project. We were positively surprised about the very quick delivery, which confirmed our decision to use NEXO in the project.”

NEXO’s sound system is complemented by Yamaha’s CL5 mixing consoles, RiO3224D2 audio interface and MRX-7D processor. NEXO is owned by Yamaha, so the products seamlessly integrate into Yamaha’s mixing systems.

The new high-quality equipment allows Tavara-asema’s premises to be used for a variety of purposes, and the venue’s calendar is already booked full of different events, from flea markets to festivals.

You can check out upcoming events on Tavara-asema’s Events page.

The unique Helsinki XR Center (HXRC) operates in connection with Metropolia’s creative industries campus and combines design and technology in a new way. HXRC is the largest centre focused on virtual reality in Europe and aims at being a well-known international operator.

Ambitiously combining different fields of expertise, large volumes of the latest technology and competence come together at HXRC. Electro Waves was involved as a supplier of lights and mechanical solutions. The company was selected as a supplier through the tendering process of Tietokeskus*, although Electro Waves also had previous evidence of successful cooperation in presentation technology solutions for Metropolia’s premises. “The delivery was efficient and matched our needs perfectly”, says Hannes Jesar, Project Manager at Metropolia and frequent user of the facilities, regarding the choice of supplier.

Electro Waves supplied the XR Multipurpose Studio with wash lights, which can be used to change the colour and atmosphere of the space, general and accent lights, and the light control system. The contract also included the preliminary programming of the light system, as well as training in the use of the control system.

In the mechanics contract, great cooperation with good partners benefited the customer through prices, quality and innovative solutions. The tendering material for mechanics was drawn up by Akukon Oy, Electro Waves handled the implementation design and implemented the systems of both studies in cooperation with JDR Rigging Oy and Espoon HT Teknocenter Oy.

In connection with the mechanics contract, equipment was delivered to the XR Show/Demo Studio and the XR Multipurpose Studio. The contract included chain hoists with control centres, beam clamps for suspending the chain hoists, cabling, a 4-point truss system and a cable management system with junction boxes for the trusses. Safety and the load-bearing capacity of the structures are of the utmost importance in a project of this nature, so the necessary structural calculations (Structural Report) for the suspension system were carried out through an independent external operator, ensuring that the performance figures and load-bearing capacity of the suspension structures were in accordance with the plans.

Lauri Wilén is an AV architect who is responsible for the design and procurement of presentation technology at Metropolia. He says about the mechanical solutions: “The most noteworthy technical solution is that the user is able to easily and seamlessly adjust the height of the trusses to the desired level according to need and use. This enables the installation of new equipment, supplies and lights in the future, when the need arises”. Wilén is also very satisfied with the cooperation with Electro Waves: “The project progressed from order to deployment in a very exemplary manner and well on schedule, even though the prevailing global situation caused minor delays from time to time. It is worth noting that the installation contract could be carried out in such a way that the user was also able to have activities in the facilities during the work, meaning that the work site operated really efficiently”.

Hannes Jesar comments on the projects from the perspective of a user of the facilities, saying that as a user himself, the primary thing he looks at is how the trusses and lights look aesthetically and how they fit into the rest of the space. “Under no circumstances should technology stand out as something separate or attract too much attention, but rather it should fit nicely in the space, like any other piece of furniture. This has been done successfully. In addition, the trusses have added a finishing touch to our facilities.”

All in all, the cooperation in this project has worked very well. Electro Waves’ professionalism and expertise have enabled the functionalities of Metropolia’s augmented reality centre, innovative even by international standards, in terms of lighting and mechanical solutions.

Lauri Wilén would like to convey a special thanks to Electro Waves for the truly smooth communication during the entire process, as well as for their user-friendly approach.

In Pasila Tripla, the offices of the future, a shopping center, a hotel and numerous services have been elegantly merged into one entity. The center, also known as the new heart of Helsinki, also offers a home for Telia’s new, magnificent head office.

Telia’s premises impress visitors at the first sight. In the fourth-floor entrance hall and the seventh-floor reception welcomes both, employees and visitors with massive Samsung LED screens that have gained a lot of positive attention. The entrance floor has meeting rooms for customer meetings and a versatile space for events of up to 200 people.

Today, during the working day there are very different tasks and situations that employees face. In Telia’s office, no one has their own designated workstation. The office space has been designed to meet different needs of tasks, whether it is focused individual work or teamwork in a lively, cozy atmosphere. In addition to inspiring work spaces, Telia’s new home base has 220 meeting rooms. Electro Waves is responsible for the AV solutions for these and also other facilities.

“Electro Waves was selected as our partner through a bidding competition. The company emerged as the clear winner of the tender, as they had to offer exactly the solution we were looking for.” says Risto Huostila, Telia’s Real Estate Manager, who was responsible for the entire, gigantic construction project.

Huostila says that the construction project lasted altogether for nearly two years and as significant AV solutions were made, Electro Waves was involved almost from the beginning. Huostila is pleased with the cooperation with the AV -solution provider and praises Electro Waves’ approach: “The cooperation went well, the professionals knew what they were doing and they always suggested a workable solution”.

Screens and eye-catching LED walls in all spaces are Samsung products. “At Samsung, price and quality meet, and all products were given good warranties, which increased confidence in the operator,” says Huostila.

Tripla’s construction site was like a small town where everyone had an important role to play. Up to 1,500 employees worked on the site, so it was important that the installers of the AV solutions knew their job and worked on schedule. “One important factor in the success of the project was also that Electro Waves really invested in the project and had a sufficient number of professionals to do it,” says Huostila and continues: “the big picture is the sum of many parts, and Electro Waves played a big role in that everything works seamlessly and securely ”.

Telia is one of the country’s largest telecommunications companies, so technology must work reliably in every space. “Functional, modern solutions are essential for a company like us” sums up the property manager, who is pleased with the project, and continues: “The feedback we received has been mostly three-letter. Those letters have been WOW ”- that is, that famous wow effect has been achieved with good design, the latest technology and millimeter-accurate implementation.

Technical implementation

The project was divided into two phases, the first (10/2019) was implementing Led walls on the 4th and 7th floors and the second was setting up versatile meeting rooms (2-5 / 2020).
