The Contra (single input), Coda R and Corus(each with dual input with effects) series III integrated amplifier and speaker systems are designed to accurately reproduce the sound of all acoustic and electric instruments without the size and weight that has traditionally been associated with high quality amplification. Flat frequency response coupled with an extended, tight, well controlled bass sound and clarity of reproduction are its principle characteristics. Omni-directional output of frequencies below 800 Hz allows instruments amplified by the Series III combos to be easily heard by all musicians on the stage. Key features have been designed into the series III combos to add flexibility for various playing situations. These include use of a combo jack input that allows either a 1/4" or XLR input, a parallel effects loop with a return level control, a selectable notch or low cut filter to eliminate feedback or "boominess" and a balanced direct out with ground lift and pre/post EQ selection to allow connection to a mixing board for PA augmentation or recording. Additional features of the Coda R and Corus include two channel preamp each with combo jack inputs, a parallel effects loop in each channel with a return level control. A built in lifter allows the cabinet to be tilted to better direct sound to the player's listening position. A switch for dual voltage operation (115/230V, 60/50 Hz), a detachable power cord, a fitted slip cover with cable storage pocket and shoulder strap, an optional paded gig bag with shoulder strap or a hard shell travel case make these combos convenient for the traveling musician. These easy to handle compact models achieve what many noted players believe is the world's best acoustic sound for bass, guitar and keyboards. Combining a 3-way speaker system, a three band preamp section, sophisticated digital effects (Coda R and Corus) and a 400 watt switch mode amplifier in a compact 20 pound package, the Contra and Coda R provide transparent, powerful and accurate sound reproduction across the full frequency spectrum so that your sound really comes through. Never before has so much power, flexibility and sonic performance been packed into such a small enclosure. The Contra, Coda and Corus combos effectively disappear on stage, radiating omni-directional sound, highlighting your performance, not your equipment. We call this "musical amplification." Together these features allow total control over both stage and venue presence. For larger venues, the Contra EX (Series III) and Corus EX (matching the Corus) extension cabinets provide an ideal match. |
