While many speaker companies buy off-the-shelf drivers and design wooden boxes around them, Hannover's CODA Audio manufactures its own proprietary transducers from the atomic level up. By eliminating conventional dome compression drivers, CODA packs large-format stadium power into enclosures that weigh half as much as the competition.
1. Breakthrough Transducer Innovations
A. Patented Dual Diaphragm Planar Wave Drivers (DDP)
Traditional compression drivers suffer from high intermodulation distortion and phase breakup above 8 kHz. CODA's concentric **DDP driver** features two separate annular diaphragms acting as a two-way coaxial system that outputs a truly flat, isophasic planar wavefront with virtually zero distortion up to 22 kHz.
B. Sensor-Controlled Subwoofers (SC Technology)
In CODA's subwoofers, a specialized optical/magnetic sensor on the voice coil reads actual cone displacement in real time, feeding a closed feedback loop into the LINUS DSP amplifier. This completely eliminates non-linear port distortion, power compression, and group delay blur.
