CODA Audio’s HOPS system was installed at the Naturally nightclub in Munich’s city centre, in Germany, which regularly hosts world-famous DJs from the techno and house scene including Sven Väth, Fat Boy Slim, DJ Hell, and Carl Cox.
Naturally is part of the international club brand Pacha, which has been supplied with its sound technology by Munich-based TAPS Media for the past two decades. TAPS selected CODA Audio’s HOPS (high output point source) range of loudspeakers for the latest upgrade.
The TAPS team led by managing directors Alexander Mayr and Manfred Heilmaier, installed a comprehensive system comprising 6 x HOPS12i-Pro three-way dual 12in units, 8 x HOPS8i two-way dual 8in, and 3 x G15-Sub compact 15in subwoofers. The system is driven by CODA Audio’s own LINUS amplification.
Alexander Mayr explained: “The loudspeakers deliver maximum output with the smallest dimensions and the lowest distortion. The HOPS12-Pro is clearly the best box on the double 12in market. The pressure and sound quality are exceptional, especially when you consider the compact size of the box. No other product can keep up.”
Roman Lehmann, director of Pacha, also organises the Greenfields techno festival. He added: “We are very satisfied. We are sure that we now have the best audio system in the city. CODA Audio hasn’t been on my radar for long but I’m very impressed. Our guests feel at home with us and our artists are thrilled with the sound. Everything sounds clean, precise, and yet powerful. In short, the system creates a great clubbing experience – and that’s what matters.”
David Webster, global sales and marketing director for CODA Audio, added: “Pacha is of course an esteemed and long-standing global club brand, so we’re delighted to see the Munich venue placing its faith in a CODA Audio system. TAPS Media did a fantastic job at the venue and the customer’s response emphasises just how effective our HOPS range can be in a high-end club environment.”
Founded in Ibiza in 1973, the international club brand Pacha has had a presence in Munich’s city centre since 2000.
