Coda Audio Manufacturing

Coda multicore systems have been developed and refined over many years and offer a robust and flexible solution for most high density, balanced audio interconnection requirements.

These systems are highly regarded in studios and venues throughout Australia and we are proud to have supplied complete mobile multicore systems to the Sydney Opera House for each of their venues.

•  The systems are designed in 24 and 48 way multiples.
•  Fully balanced and individually shielded throughout the system.
•  Rack mounted, transformer isolated splitters and interfaces to our 8 way system are available.
•  Male and female headers with tangle free silicone sleeving.
•  Logical and consistent numbering and colour coding throughout the system.
•  Custom versions and materials on request.

Our goals are complete long-term reliability, flexibility and intuitive ease of use in often difficult field conditions .

Since we began manufacturing these in the mid '90s we have supplied hundreds of components for these systems; yet not one has failed through manufacturing defect or any cause other than the worst neglect.

Each engineering problem has been carefully evaluated and resolved, and passive components have been chosen with audio quality as the first consideration.

•  High quality L&K 85 or Lemo gold contact multipin connectors.
•  Male and female multipin connectors fitted for daisy chaining.
•  Neutrik XLR connectors in standard or gold contacts.
•  Protected connectors with optional dust caps.
•  3mm aluminium chassis construction with powder coat finish.
•  Stainless steel handle on the male end.
•  Baked ink, screen printed numbering.
•  Chassis grounded when used with LKSSS024C cables.
•  Dimensions : 104mm (H) x 158mm (W) x 505mm (L) .
•  Weight 5.0 Kilos. (Stainless steel upper option)

Isolates and splits microphone and domestic level audio for media, on-site recording or wherever high-quality isolated splits are required.

•  Parallel L&K Female and XLR inputs.
•  One direct multipin output and two fully isolated outputs.
•  Phantom power from the direct output to either input.
•  Shielded Lundahl LL1570XL transformers.
•  Less than 0.1% distortion at 50Hz, +6dbu input(800 ohm)
•  10 Hz to 200 kHz response +/- 0.5db
•  2kV isolation between windings, 4kV to shield.
•  Low capacitance PCB layout.
•  Clean, layered internal wiring.
•  Dimensions : 2RU x 256mm (D) - 300mm with connector.
•  Weight 5.0 Kilos.

•  High quality L&K 85 and Burndy (Metalok Bantam) gold contact multipin connectors.
•  Male and female Burndy 8 way inputs to 24 way and XLR outputs.
•  Aluminium bodied Burndy chassis connectors.
•  Clean, layered internal wiring.
•  Exceptional versatility in 24/8 systems.
•  Outputs are patchable to the isolated splitter on the rear panels.
•  Dimensions : 2RU x 256mm (D) - 281mm with connector.
•  Weight 4.5 Kilos.

A complete range of headers, extensions and accessories are available for this system

•  Extension cables to any length.
•  All cables have 24g copper conductors, wound copper shield and stainless steel drain wire
•  LKSS24C 24 way cable without additional outer shield when flexibility and lower weight are priorities
•  LKSSS24C 24 way cable with additional outer shield for greater cable protection and lower EMF interference.
•  Male and female headers, 1.5 metres, each group of four channels colour coded.
•  Cores 1 to 24 use black cable, 25 to 48 use blue cable
•  Numbered patch cables, 4.5mm OD in black, red or blue.

The 8 way systems are exceptionally versatile. Used as complete systems on small productions, inputs where multiple small stage boxes are required, multiway rack inputs, desk outputs and monitor rigs.

Access to either the inputs or outputs of our 24 way system is available through the 24 to 8 2RU rack mounted unit.

•  Joiners may be used to extend runs.
•  Fully balanced and individually shielded throughout the system.
•  Custom versions and materials on request.

Now in their 3rd generation, the 8 way stage boxes are manufactured using the same principles as the 24 way system stage boxes, which have proven to be exceptionally strong and reliable in the toughest of conditions.

The stage boxes use both sexes of connectors on the XLRs and multipins, making them incredibly versatile.

•  Parallel female and male connectors.
•  All connectors protected by extended flanges.
•  1.6mm steel upper section and 3mm aluminium lower section
•  Black powdercoat finish.
•  Engraved or screened numbering.
•  Dimensions : 83mm (H) x 127mm (W) x 400mm (L)
•  Weight 2.2 Kilos.

•  Extensions to any length.
•  All cables have 24g copper conductors, wound copper shield and stainless steel drain wire.
•  Both male and female headers, 600mm length.
•  Cable joiners for extending runs.
•  Burndy panels.
•  Designed to patch into equipment from the rear of the rack.
•  1 RU rack mounted strip.
•  Burndy inputs to male XLRs on flying leads.
•  Burndy inputs to female XLRs on flying leads.

Coda designs and outsources the manufacture of metalwork items. These have often been developed for our own use, so we have been able to evaluate their functionality and robustness in a tough production environment over many years.

Materials and design criteria have been refined over time and we believe our detailed knowledge of available technologies and thorough specification standards will guarantee you a superior product.

Our products are in use in many major venues; theatres, concert halls, universities, studios, restaurants and retail outlets.

•  Complete CAD/CAM design service.
•  Proven templates for most audio, video, data and RF connectors.
•  Experience in stainless steel, steel, aluminium and polycarbonates.
•  Brushed, anodized and powdercoat finishes.
