“We consider that the audio quality of the CODA loudspeakers is excellent, delivering clear sound at moderate volumes free from any noticeable noise or distortion. The high frequencies are bright without being harsh and the low end is full-bodied and powerful, providing a comfortable overall listening experience.”

During the recent Beijing Autoshow, the Volkswagen Group presented product highlights, as well as the progress of its ‘in China, for China’ strategy, at the city’s iconic Phoenix Media Centre. Live-streamed around the world, with the unveiling of new models from Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Ducati, the Volkswagen Group Media Night celebrated 40 years of Volkswagen presence in China in front of a large audience of Volkswagen Group executives, management representatives, and other business partners.
The live show, in which the cars were the stars, demanded premium quality audio for both music playback and speech presentation. Leading production specialist Tongbo was engaged by Creative Audio Visual Equipment Trading of Shanghai to supply an audio package which could deliver powerful background music as well as crystal clear speech. Tongbo installed and supported a CODA Audio system designed by audio expert Oliver Tschotow, which comfortably met the brief.
The main system comprised left, centre, and right clusters of N-APS (12 in total) complemented by 2 x HOPS8i as infills. A further 13 x HOPS8i were ceiling-mounted as delays, with 2 more deployed as monitors alongside 2 x HOPS12. 4 x HOPS5 were used as delays at the rear of the auditorium. The overall system was supported by 12 x SCP subs and powered by CODA Audio DSP amplification using 3 x LINUS T-Rack and and a single LINUS M-Rack.
A spokesperson for Creative Audio Visual Trading commented:

Global Sales and Marketing Director for CODA Audio, David Webster, comments:
“Tongbo’s commitment to CODA Audio in China is fantastic to see. The work they do is of the highest calibre, providing systems for any number of incredibly high profile and prestigious events. A system deployed for a show of this nature needs to deliver crystal clear audio of the highest quality and be flexible enough to cope with the multiple demands of speech presentation and powerful background music reinforcement. The CODA system deployed by Tongbo proved to be exactly what was required for this important celebration.”
