Germany - HK Audio has just hosted the first of an ongoing series of training seminars for its Cohedra Coherent Dynamic Response Array system. A total of 14 students from Germany, Switzerland and Austria attended the three-day operator seminar held in May at the company's premises in St. Wendel, Germany. The students then sat a two-hour examination in order to qualify for a Cohedra operator's certificate. Twelve of the students were successful and are now fully-qualified Cohedra operators. Top of the class was Udo Treimetten from Evented-Triacs in Föhren, Germany, who scored 27 of a possible 30 points in the test.

"I'm really proud of the success of the COHEDRA operators," says HK Audio's musicologist Thomas Adt, who ran the seminars. "They worked very hard during the three days, and were still asking lots of very intelligent questions late into the night. I enjoyed the time I spent with our students, and got some good ideas for the future, for which I would like to thank them."

Apart from learning the acoustical properties of Cohedra, the students were also taught about rigging and handling the system in addition to Caps Cohedra Acoustic Prediction Software DFC controller software. They also benefited from Adt's experience as a graduate of musicology by learning about the musical psychology of listening to line array systems.
