the system is based around a Coda Audio Airline LA12 three-way line array
Germany - Guano Apes have just completed Bel Air, their second successful tour since reforming in 2009, and the decision by Front of House engineer Ingo Thürauf to specify a Coda Audio Airline loudspeaker system meant they delivered an audio clarity and punch that did their fiery brand of rock'n'roll true justice.

Supplied by Ambion GmbH, who provided full technical requirements for the tour, the system comprised a Coda Audio Airline LA12 three-way line array, augmented with high output sensor controlled SCP two18" and SC8 four 18" subwoofers, with Airline LA8 two-way compact line array cabinets as front/side-fill.

Thürauf had previously worked with both Ambion and Coda systems. "Coda line array systems offer a very exact reproduction, which made me specify the LA12 system for this tour," he says. "The powerful sensor controlled subwoofers in particular perfectly match the energetic sound of the Guano Apes. I like to work with diverse sub harmonic effects, and the speakers need to be able to handle these."

Monitoring runs through a Yamaha M7CL and Ultimate Ears UE-7 in-ear monitors. However, lead singer Sandra Nasic utilizes four Coda Audio Cue One wedges - a three-way 2x 12" / 1x 1.4" Coaxial system.

Ambion has come to rely on Coda Audio for both its corporate and convention support, as well as in concert touring, on an international level.

"Coda Audio was first introduced to us two years ago," recalls Ambion's Jesko Purmann. "We were looking for a new sound system at the time and didn't want to pick one of the usual ones. We quickly realized that the ideas and concepts of Coda Audio and Ambion matched very well and, as a result, we have had products from Coda in use for over a year and a half now."
