2013 год начинается с Coda Audio

После запуска ViRAY в конце 2012 года Coda Audio выводит свой новый линейный массив на мировой уровень и быстро завоевывает признание и популярность. Первой компанией инвестировавшей в этот революционный продукт была немецкая AMBION GmbH.

 Недавно полученные более 100 компонентов ViRAY, AMBION теперь имеет запас более 300 кабинетов Coda и инвентаря, которые могут удовлетворить любойо проект, от маленького до самого крупного.

 В течение 2012 года AMBION, использовала продукты Coda на более чем 250 различных шоу, в том числе Deutscher Umweltpreis 2012, SPD Bundesparteitag 2012, Windsurf Worldcup Sylt 2012, Red Bull R.Evolution, Olly Murs, Kraftclub, Kettcar.

System integration with the RC racks

 

The ViRAY is a compact 3-way symmetrical line array module, designed for small to medium venues where high fidelity sound and outstanding intelligibility is required.

 

Up to 24 units can be arrayed to achieve extreme high levels needed for larger venues. The built-in passive crossover between the MF and HF allows multiple modules to be driven with a single C10 amplifier (up to 6 enclosures resulting in 2.66 Ohm amplifier load). Bi-amplification is possible as well and is internally configurable.

 

An optional sensor controlled SCV-F can be added for increased low frequency response.

The integrated rigging system allows quick and easy flying or ground stacking. Arrays may be built straight or curved in various angular to obtain the desired vertical coverage. The Coda EASE Focus simulation software allows calculating the perfect curving setup for every application.

When used together with the SCV-F the ViRAY line array gives audio companies a flexible system for a wide range of applications from the smallest venue to a concert-level sound.

Dual Diaphragm Planar-wave-driver (DDP)

 

At the heart of the ViRAY is the new developed 8“ dual diaphragm planar-wave-driver.

 

The driver is in fact a 2-way coaxial system employing two concentric annular ring diaphragms. Each driver covers a smaller frequency range for increased power handling, high dynamic and extremely low distortion.

 

The larger annular midrange diaphragm covers the frequency range 600 — 6.500 Hz with a smooth, linear response. The extended diaphragm excursion of max. + / — 0,8 mm results in high output and increased power handling up to 1300 W peak.

The ultra light annular diaphragm for the high range offers exceptional transient response with very high efficiency from 6 to 22 kHz.

 

Dual Diaphragm Planar-wave-driver

 

This distinctive new transducer was engineered to radiate a true coherent planar wave front form a rectangular piston without internal diffraction for superior dispersion control and high fidelity sound.

 

The patented design is a result of extensive, dedicated research and development providing dramatic improvement in dynamic response, clarity and transparency.

Low Frequency

 

The cabinet contains two 8“ neodymium ultra low distortion cone drivers covering the range 55 Hz – 600 Hz. The double 8“ long excursion drivers contain high flux linear motors with triple demodulation rings for ultra low distortion and increased power handling.

The carbon fibre diaphragms minimise the moving mass while improving cone stiffness and internal damping to achieve high sensitivity and outstanding clarity.

ViCOUPLER

 

All ViRAY drivers are loaded to a common ViCOUPLER which combines the energy produced from all transducers to perform as a single source, without phase destruction achieving a coherent and uniform wavefront.

In fact the ViCOUPLER determines the horizontal on-axis and off-axis frequency response.

 

The ViCOUPLER technology integrates 3 main functions:

 

Waveguide for the Mid/High planar wave driver

Large plane screen panel to avoid backwards reflections

Phase plug for the 8» drivers for optimized loading

 

Conventional design

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In conventional designs a backward sound wave from the mid/high range reflects to the cone of the low frequency drivers. The interference between the direct radiating and reflected waves produce comb filter response.

 

ViRAY with ViCOUPLER

 

 

 

 

 

The ViCOUPLER ensures that sound is reflected in a coherent manner because the dimension of the reflective surface is large compared to the wavelength.

 

In fact a ViCOUPLER loaded array performs as a single waveguide mounted in a large, flat baffle (screen) without diffractions.

 

 

 

When sound waves from the mid/high range gather to the flat surface, it generates a coherent sound field providing uniform power response and directivity control over a wide frequency range.

 

ViCOUPLER (80°)

 

 

Phase-Plug-Loaded cone drivers

 

Precision phase plugs are integrated into the ViCOUPLER to ensure acoustically coherent coupling of the low range providing perfectly consistent coverage down to 350Hz. This optimizes the horizontal directivity and maximizes the system efficiency.

 

Horizontal Dispersion

 

To maximise precise coverage, and therefore maximise application results, user selectable horizontal coverage of 120° / 80° or asymmetrical 100° (60°+ 40°) or (40°+ 60°) are available, allowing for very accurate audience coverage, reduced possibility of reflections, all resulting in outstanding system intelligibility.

 

 

System solution

 

The ViRAY is designed to work exclusively with dedicated Coda Audio RC racks as an integrated solution for DSP control, amplification, network remote control and diagnostic.

The integrated solution ensures optimal performance and protection.

 

Options

 

Additional colours and weather protection options are available on request.

 

Application

 

Designed for medium size touring and installation applications the ViRAY is perfectly suited for theaters, clubs, houses of worship, corporate events and touring. Dedicated hardware allows the ViRAY to be used as a down-fill with AIRLINE LA12.
