CODA Audio has announced the launch of CiRAY, a new compact, full-range, dual 10-inch line array element, the third member of the company’s VCA family alongside ViRAY (dual 8-inch) and flagship AiRAY (dual 12-inch).
CiRAY can work stand-alone as well as integrate with its “siblings” for mix and match configurations in both live and installed applications. All VCA models include patented Dual Diaphragm Planar Wave Driver (DDP), Coupler technology and FS-FIR filters, with CiRAY also benefitting from the addition of CODA’s latest version Dynamic Airflow Cooling (DAC).
The loudspeakers are transportable as a six-pack on a specially designed dolly with covers and LID technology for more efficient truck storage. An overall hang of 12 loudspeakers (2 x 6) can be set up relatively quickly by a single operator, with all cabinets set for their relative angles to drop into place once lifted. Three cabinets can be powered from one channel of CODA’s LINUS14 DSP amplifier; thus only one amplifier is required for a full hang of 12 using an industry standard power amp cable.
The Coupler technology is designed to provide horizontal dispersion control down to 200 Hz with coverage options of 60, 90, and 120 degrees. In addition, CiRAY comes with CODA’s Quick Release grille and the ability to change horizontal dispersion instantly by means of proprietary Instafit Magnetic Couplers.
Compatible with the VCA family both acoustically and mechanically, the SC2-F dual 15-inch sensor-controlled low-frequency extension operates in the 35 to 200 Hz range. The SC2-F can be strategically deployed to increase the low-frequency impact and headroom of the system in long-throw configurations or to provide an cardioid dispersion pattern over the entire frequency range when flown behind the line array. Additionally, it can be utilized in a beam split configuration, making the system adaptable to additional applications.
