Tsugawa Pro adds NEXO’s Alpha+ to its inventory

Incorporated in 1986, Tsugawa Pro is a long-established sound reinforcement company handling a wide variety of events from live concerts to corporate gigs and is formed of a team of five including second-generation representative Kengo Ide. According to NEXO, the Kita-ku, Osaka-based pro sound specialist has become the first rental company to deploy the manufacturer’s latest Alpha+ hybrid source sound reinforcement system in Japan.

“We currently operate two line array systems but, since we pride ourselves on our agility, we introduced the Alpha+ system as a new option so that we can still accept new projects even when all our line array systems are out,” said Ide. “Back in the day, Alpha was everywhere, so I used it a lot. I still remember my first impression of it; I was surprised that something of that size could produce such volume.”

“I really loved it too,” added Ide’s fellow director, Takeshi Yagi. “In a word, it’s a speaker that lets you get as much sound out as you want. I hadn’t even considered introducing new speakers until I auditioned the Alpha+. I thought it was a well-balanced speaker, different from Alpha in a good way, and I was reminded once again that this system has a truly musical sound.”

“I had a demo of Alpha+ in a large hall last fall, and the first listen immediately brought back the impression of the previous Alpha model,” continued Ide. “I really liked the nuances of the subwoofer range. I’m always checking out for new speakers, but I felt that this speaker was exactly the system we were looking for to broaden our options.”
