Germany - During this year's Telex EVI Audio in-house exhibition (Hausmesse), from the 24 to 26 January, the Dynacord Cobra celebrated its first birthday. Despite its acoustic merits and handling advantages, with larger applications the Cobra came up against its natural power limits. That is when customers began asking for more projection and sound pressure, and in response Dynacord have come up with the Cobra-4. Employing active 4-way technology, the latest member of the Cobra family is capable of generating twice the projection of the active 2-way system, according to Hans Bürger, Dynacord's product manager.

Responsible for the increase in power is on the one hand the Cobra-4 PWH, a horn-loaded enclosure generating higher sound pressure levels than the conventional Cobra sub-bass enclosure. To complement it, Dynacord's research and development team devised the Cobra-4 Far, which is designed for extremely long-throw applications. A rig, Hans Bürger told us, which plugs the gap just beneath the full-sized line-array systems.

Despite the increased power, the Cobra-4 retains the characteristics of the basic system, as Bürger explains: "The Cobra-4 is the equivalent of a large hi-fi PA system. Throughout its entire frequency range, the sound remains extremely clear, neutral and free from distortion. Once you've heard this system, you won't want anything else."

The Cobra's big sister is suitable for all high-quality industry events and applications. The basic configuration of the Cobra-4 system comprises the following components: 2 x Cobra-4 Far; 2 x Cobra-4 Top; 8 x Cobra PWH; 2 x CSW 25 (2 x 2.5º wedges); 2 x CSR-4 (amp rack).
