This year\u2019s ceremony featured performances from Mdou Moctar, Valerie June, Dawn Richard and Aaron Maine of Porches, combining live performances, screened contributions, speeches and presentations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The venue\u2019s exclusive audio provider, Eastern Stage Productions (ESP), needed a system capable of providing consistent, clear sound across different media formats in what the company describes as a notoriously reverberant space. CODA Audio\u2019s ViRAY is a compact three-way symmetrical line array designed for small to medium-sized venues requiring high fidelity sound and intelligibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The ground-stacked system comprised five ViRAY units per side, with four CODA Audio SCV-F compact 18in sensor-controlled subwoofers in cardioid configuration per side. Two CODA Audio CoRAY column line source units were added as side-fills, with four CODA Audio HOPS8 8in high output point source units used as front-fills. The system was powered by two CODA Audio Linus14 and one Linus12C DSP amplifiers with loudspeaker management.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bill Danilczyk, owner of ESP, said: \u201cGotham Hall is an extremely reverberant space, so the highest quality loudspeaker system is imperative. The CODA Audio system was the best choice because it has no distortion, is extremely clear with extended response, and is very phase coherent. The accuracy in frequency response on and off-axis is a major advantage, allowing us to focus the audio on the audience and keep it away from reflective services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He added: \u201cIt\u2019s quite clearly better than any other system we\u2019ve tried in the room over the last 25 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>You can subscribe to <\/b><b><i>Installation<\/i><\/b><b> magazine for free<\/b><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.b2bmediaportal.com\/dynamicregister20\/register2.aspx?fid=INSF20&amp;key=NWEB\"><b> <\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>here<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> and the daily newsletter<\/b><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.smartbrief.com\/signupSystem\/subscribe.action?campaign=in_brief_signup_link&amp;utm_term=4368D2EA-EE00-4B08-8B50-49B5D74CC575&amp;lrh=dadf7d3db2e0942fc4dcf46f1841d6672120c1d8804350eee357bd4d499205fb&amp;utm_campaign=EB5C54F1-E8BA-4651-A58F-EF8BAC63ADEC&amp;utm_content=71D8497F-DFD5-4678-B4AF-B1FF7B8012F8&amp;utm_source=brief&amp;pageSequence=1&amp;briefName=installation&amp;isRedirection=true\"><b> <\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>here<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<footer class=\"article-footer\">\n<div class=\"byline vcard\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-0 author-avatar\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b91d126c71d9514d5dd1b15ea8975f803ce42fd8717628fcb3d13c7c697f5d26?s=50&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b91d126c71d9514d5dd1b15ea8975f803ce42fd8717628fcb3d13c7c697f5d26?s=100&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-50 photo\" height=\"50\" width=\"50\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-10\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 author-bio\">\n<p>David has been writing about various forms of technology, including AV, for more than 20 years.
