CODA Audio Launches APS-Pro Series

	Both models deploy new versions of CODA Audio's Dual Diaphragm Coaxial Curved Wave Driver (DDC) for mid/high frequency.

CODA Audio announces the launch of APS-Pro. The series comprises two models. APS-Pro-D has a 10-degree cabinet angle for long throw and high granularity of control, while APS-Pro-S has a 30-degree cabinet angle for short throw and wide near field coverage.

Developed from the APS series, APS-ProS and APS-Pro-D are billed as compact, three-way, arrayable point source loudspeakers, designed for small and medium sized venues where a powerful and scalable solution is required.

Both models deploy new versions of CODA Audio's Dual Diaphragm Coaxial Curved Wave Driver (DDC) for mid/high frequency. These new drivers are built to generate the appropriate 10- and 30-degree wavefronts at source, without having to rely on waveguides or flares. The dual 10" low-frequency drivers are mounted on an aluminum baffle -- CODA's Dynamic Airflow Cooling (DAC). DAC allows for higher power handling and more headroom at low frequencies, giving higher sound pressure levels for longer, without power compression. Each cabinet has an AES power rating of 1,400W and a peak SPL a of 144dB (A weighted) per cabinet. Low frequency extends to 50Hz at -6dB -- all from an enclosure that weighs only 27kg.

APS-Pro's output directivity is controlled by a magnetic Instafit APS-coupler which combines all the elements of the loudspeaker into a single, pattern-controlled wavefront. With quick release grilles that require no tools, the new couplers allow quick and easy changes to coverage angles, enabling the flexibility to adapt to different venue layouts and requirements.

Mounted horizontally APS-Pro-D and APS-Pro-S respectively provide 10- and 30-degree vertical coverage and can be flown singly or with additional APS-Pro cabinets in vertical arrays to match a system's output to any requirement. Horizontal coverage can be changed between 60, 90, and 120 degrees, and asymmetrical configurations of 75, 90, 100, and 105 degrees by using different Instafit coupler configurations. Mounted vertically APS-Pro-D and APS Pro-S respectively provide a fixed horizontal coverage of 10 and 30 degrees, with variable dispersion now being in the vertical plane.

Seamless integration of the two models is achieved without the need for additional amplifier channels, the company says. With the capacity to drive three units per amplifier channel, it is possible to drive 12 units using a single CODA Audio LINUS DSP amplifier.
