The Netherlands - In the Dutch city of Maastricht, integrator Verjans AV, specialists in the hospitality sector, recently designed and supplied Coda Audio systems for three city-centre venues.
With considerable experience of both installation and live event audio, Harald Verjans first encountered Coda Audio in 2013 and has been a fan of the brand and customer of Viladco, Coda’s Benelux distributor, ever since.
“I attended a demo in Hanover and was immediately struck by the audio quality and the power coming from such small boxes. The fact that all the different cabinets share the same sonic signature was also a big plus. When the three venues in Maastricht wanted exceptional high-fidelity audio from their systems, Coda loudspeakers were the obvious choice.”
Verjans installed a new Coda Audio system for the recently opened Bar Nola. The management at this stylish restaurant and bar wanted the best possible sound from a discreet professional-grade system which matched the ambience of its carefully designed interior. The system comprised eight Coda Audio HOPS5 (compact two-way double 5” high-output point source) with two Coda Audio U12 subs.
Next door at Cafe Van Bommel, a dynamic cafe bar which has been a feature of Maastricht nightlife for more than 30 years, Verjans upgraded to a Coda system featuring six HOPS8i (double 8”) with 2 x G715-Pro (three-way, full range 15”).
Completing the trio of installs was nearby Club Roto, a popular late-night bar and club featuring DJ sets, where 12 x CODA Audio G712 (three-way, full range 12”) were installed alongside 2 x G15-Sub sub extensions. All three installations are powered by Coda Audio’s Linus DSP amplifiers.
Hans Engelen from Coda Audio distributor Viladco comments: “We are seeing an increasing number of retail and hospitality units recognising the value of investing in very high-quality professional audio systems. Their customers demand high standards, and creating the right atmosphere is key to that. Live and background music reinforcement is central to this ethos and expert integrators like Harald, with Coda’s qualities at their fingertips, are able to deliver fantastic solutions which deliver long-term value for money.”
