Exhibiting at Booth 985 in InfoComm's Audio Pavilion, key new products for Coda are the AiRAY high output, full-range line array system, HOPS8 two-way point source loudspeakers and further innovations in the company's LINUS range of amplifiers and LiNET Digital Audio Transport and Distribution (DATAD) products.
Set for a full launch in July, the AiRAY three-way, full-range line array addresses the 'holy grail' of exceptional output and intelligibility, yet from elements that are half the size, weight and transport dimensions of conventional 2x12" systems.
High Output Point Source HOPS8 is a versatile, passive dual 8" coaxial system, featuring 100° x 100° coverage and a power handling of 450W AES. Optimised for nearfield applications, HOPS8 is available with two hardware options - HOPS8T for mobile applications and HOPS8i (fitted with M6 flying points) for permanent installations.
Coda's DSP amplification range has been expanded with the LINUS5-C and LINUS10-C four channel loudspeaker management amplifiers. Aimed at both installation and mobile applications, the lightweight 19"/2U units incorporate four input, four output DSP and Class D amplification. They feature Coda's LiNET-C, allowing the transmission of up to four digital audio signals to each amplifier over a standard CAT5 cable.
There will be several new Coda DATAD products on show at InfoComm. These include the 19"/1U LiNET Master AES/EBU to LiNET converter, which forms the bridge between a mixing console and the Coda digital audio network, as well as the 19"/1U LiNET Switch, which allows redundant audio connection to the LiNET Master. Also on show will be the 9.5" (half rack width)/1U ATEC, an AES-Ethernet Converter which merges two AES/EBU pairs and an Ethernet switch to a single EtherCON connector.
Alongside the new items, Coda will be exhibiting many of its existing products. These will include the ViRAY and TiRAY line array systems, the CoRAY line source column system, LINUS RACK amplification systems and the company's comprehensive range of point source loudspeakers.
