Adlib delivers integrated audio system for Altrincham Garrick Playhouse

The Audio System

The loudspeaker system is built around CODA Audio technology, which was selected for its very high output, extended frequency response,  and compact size. The Left, Centre and Right channels are served by CODA Audio HOPS12 loudspeakers. In-fill is provided by a pair of CODA Audio HOPS5, and lip-fill by a set of three D5 Cubes fitted to the downstage edge.

To extend reproduction below the 44Hz offered by the HOPS12i-Pro, a CODA Audio U4 subwoofer, suspended with a custom flying solution for efficiency and evenness of coverage, brings the system’s low end response down to 25Hz. The loudspeakers are processed and driven by three CODA Audio Linus 6.4i-D amplifiers, bringing the benefits of Coda’s proprietary DS-FIR processing to achieve linear phase right down into the bass region. 

Adlib’s Senior Application Engineer, Tim Robinson, said: “It’s hard to put into words the way we perceive phase-linear sound, but the transient response, the throw, the resistance to feedback, and the cohesiveness of a mix are all hallmarks of a Coda system which cannot be emulated just by tuning something to measure the same in the magnitude domain.”
