which far more is expected in terms
of sound quality, line arrays have
established for themselves a secure
position in the market. Thanks to the
extremely wide horizontal radiation
pattern of line arrays, combined
with their shallow and precisely
defi ned vertical focus, the unwanted
projection of sound waves onto
ceilings and fl oors can be avoided,
and, with it, the interference their
refl ection from such surfaces would
otherwise cause. Conventional line
arrays on the market, however, are
mostly conceived exclusively as large-
scale, ‚fl ying‘ sound reinforcement
systems, and despite their advantages
in terms of quality cannot always be
used for medium-sized events with-
out quite considerable expense. In
the Cobra-2 and Cobra-4 compact
line-array systems, DYNACORD is
offering a solution optimized in
practice even for those applications
that cannot economically be served
by conventional, large-scale line
arrays. The compact and easy to
handle DYNACORD Cobra systems
in ‚fl own‘ but also in ‚stacked‘
confi gurations also make line-array
performance available for the vast
majority of those frequently encounte-
red ‚bread and butter‘ events that
take place typically in town halls,
marquees or in cities in the open air.
Reliability and operational security
at the highest level are guaranteed
with the Cobra systems, to which
the Voice Coil Tracking Protection
(VCTP) to be found in each Cobra
cabinet, serving as the personal
bodyguard of each loudspeaker
chassis, makes a valuable contribu-
tion. The fully-electronic VCPT
safety circuit monitors on a perma-
nent basis the thermal operating
state of the individual loudspeakers
and ensures, in the event only of
overload, that the power driving it is
„gently“ reduced until a safe value
is reached. The result is the widest
possible dynamic range combined
with the maximum possible degree
of operating security.
