Schindlbeck first encountered this system extension to the compact line array system at the Telex EVI Audio in-house exhibition (or ‘Hausmesse’) at the end of January 2003. Four weeks later he was the owner of the brand-new sound tool, and three weeks on from that he is able to tell us something of his first experiences with the new system: "I’ve used the system now around 20 times and each time I have been extremely satisfied with its performance. My core business is providing sound reinforcement for events with between 3,000 and 5,000 visitors. That’s my day-to-day norm and for this type of application the Cobra-4 is ideally suited." But that’s not the limit, as he explains: "I could comfortably provide sound reinforcement for 10,000 people with this system."
Another of the system’s trump cards is its versatility. "I’ve already used the system for a purely speech-based event in an 80m-long room. As a precaution, I set up a delay system but it turned out to be superfluous. The speech intelligibility even in the back row was absolutely first class."
