Thalia Theater, Hamburg, Germany
"Top performance in the Thalia Gaussstraße - with CODA audio reinforcement system - LightSoundJournal.com , December, 2019 (Google Translation)
The Thalia Theater in Hamburg is one of the most renowned and traditional theaters in Germany. The house, which is one of Hamburg's three state theatres, has received many awards and enjoys nationwide popularity thanks to regular television broadcasts. In order to be able to continue to maintain the high level, those responsible decided to invest in a new sound system in the Thalia on Gaußstraße - in sound technology from CODA Audio International .

Jacob Rothstein , sound engineer at Thalia Gaußstraße and thus part of the pitch jury, takes a similar view: "What we immediately and very clearly noticed is the uniformity and naturalness of the sound throughout the entire audience area." The grandstand, in particular, was a critical area with the installed CODA audio systems now " evenly well acoustically supplied." In addition, Rothstein noticed another detail in the performance of the different CODA audio systems and components: " You can clearly see how well the different loudspeakers of the main PA , delay line and surround speakers harmonize with each other." The in-house sound engineer also identified the reason for this: "Due to the linear phase of all CODA audio systems, chamber filter or phasing effects can no longer be heard when the various speaker zones are played.” - https://lnkd.in/eBZS84XA

The extremely compact loudspeakers of the CODA Audio HOPS series play another role in the sound reinforcement concept. HOPS stands for "High Output Point Source" - a name that the small but powerful loudspeakers definitely deserve: Due to their acoustic design (bipole-coaxial system), they deliver up to 6 dB more output than comparable systems, according to the manufacturer . In the Thalia Theater, Brünje's team installed HOPS8 (8") as a near-field loudspeaker at the front edge of the stage and above the grandstand as a delay line.
On the other hand, the smaller HOPS model – the HOPS5 (5”) point sound source – performs excellently as a surround speaker.
In the low-frequency range, flown G15-SUB (1 x 15") and an SCP (2 x 18") subwoofer placed under the stage ensure a powerful bass foundation. This is where the award-winning sensor control technology, which maps frequencies up to 25 Hz, shows its full potential. LINUS power amplifiers provide the drive for all loudspeakers integrated in the in-house DANTE network. The result for the theater's audio engineering team: Maximum control in signal routing - even with the constantly changing requirements of the various performances." - https://lnkd.in/eqqCGCkk
