Canary Islands - In 2004, Sonilanza of Lanzarote was the first company in the Canary Islands to purchase an HK Audio Cohedra system, and HK now reports that they appear to have started a trend: Rental company Sound Black, already a long-time HK Audio T-Series user, recently invested in a '2 x 8' Cohedra system, consisting of 16 CDR 208 S/T mid/high units, 16 CDR 210 subwoofers, PR 16 amp racks to power them, LSM speaker multi-pair cables and flying hardware. Owner and president of Sound Black Juan Pedro Barrios Glez, says: "Cohedra is the perfect system for us. It is extremely flexible - due to its small size and low weight we can easily fly it as part of a ground support system, yet in spite of its size we can handle fairly large gigs with a relatively small array of only eight mid/high units per side - a decisive factor as an investment for a rapidly growing company like ours. Since we have always been very satisfied with HK Audio and their Canary distribution partner Aplicaciones Acusticas Musicales, the decision to acquire a Cohedra system was very easy."

Another new member of the Cohedra family is rental company Ifara. Owner Francisco Medina Regalado recently invested in a Cohedra Compact system consisting of 16 CDR 108 C mid/high units, eight CDR 210 C subwoofers, plus accompanying flying hardware and PR 8 amp racks. "For us, the flexibility of the system at small and medium-sized events was extremely important," said Regalado. "Our Cohedra Compact system is configured in such a way that we can use either one big flown system with eight mid/high units per side, or two smaller systems that are either flown or ground-stacked. We often collaborate with Sound Black; we use their system for larger events and they use our Cohedra Compact if they need some extra equipment for smaller shows. But the way things have been going, our good reputation has increased so quickly thanks to our Cohedra Compact system that we keep getting more and more orders for larger and larger events. As a result, in August we are planning to increase our inventory by adding eight more CDR 108 C mid/high units as well as additional subwoofers and amp racks."
