German loudspeaker manufacturer, Coda Audio, recently premiered the C3 – a new amplification product. The C3 is an extremely rugged, 19 inch / 2U high performance, two channel power amplifier. It integrates light-weight power supplies with high power class D amplification and features either USB or network controlled 24 bit 96kHz via powerful SHARC-based DSP.
The C3’s outputs can be configured as 2 x 1250W at 2 Ohms or 1 x 2500W at 4 Ohms, it has 2 Ohm and 70 / 100V line capability, two inputs/outputs and 96kHz DSP with real-time monitoring.
The C3 has the capability to recall up to four different groups of settings by means of rear panel contact closure inputs, particularly useful for voice evacuation applications where it may be necessary to mute the current audio source, switch to an alternate input carrying the evacuation message and broadcast it with different level and EQ settings. This can be done automatically on each pair of C3 channels, either independently or collectively.
The C3 features C-Net network remote control and is dedicated to managing a wide range of Coda Audio products. Factory presets are included for G-Series, D-Series CUE monitors, LA4 and CoRAY systems and with the four channel C5 unit handling G300-, G500- and G700-Series, D-Series, K-Series, CUE Monitors, LA4 and the new CoRAY4 / CoRAY4i systems, optimal power solutions are now provided for any fixed installation application.
