With an inventory of 600 CODA Audio loudspeakers available to providers for major events, dry hire specialist MOG Rent has become one of the biggest stockists of the brand’s sonic solutions on the continent. Highlighting CODA Audio’s “proprietary technologies, powerful performance, and compactness”, TPi explores why MOG Rent’s clients consistently turn to the brand for a wide range of projects.
“The first element that makes CODA Audio attractive is the technologies used, particularly the annular diaphragm that drives the tweeter. This clearly made us want to explore CODA Audio products,” MOG Rent Technical Director, Étienne Maurin said, referencing the raft of CODA Audio technologies such as Sensor Control, which allows for extremely precise bass control, and the brand’s entire hardware section – designed to facilitate connectivity thanks to a system of integrated pins.
“We feel a real quality of manufacture, both in the assembly and in the materials used – which inspires real confidence in CODA Audio products,” Maurin remarked. Alongside the capabilities of the boxes, the French outfit has also seen a surge in demand for CODA Audio solutions. “Our existing customers, as well as new ones, regularly approached us to expand their portfolio or cope with peaks in activity. CODA Audio was beginning to generate real enthusiasm,” Maurin continued. “One of the things that made the difference was the quality of the contact with the CODA Audio France team. From the very first exchanges, we were very well received. There was a real desire to build a solid partnership, and a kind of exciting challenge to take on, with a brand that can still be described as an outsider.”
According to Maurin, customers can have complete confidence in both the quality of the products and the technical support offered by CODA Audio, regardless of the type of project they are considering.
“The team is available, responsive, and capable of providing support on everything from simple recommendations to complex technical issues or pre-tuning,” he explained, citing the products’ ease of use. “Their compactness and simplicity of implementation, without compromising on performance, are real advantages in the field.”
Today, production designs often impose significant constraints: discreet, high-performance systems are required, capable of adapting to demanding specifications, so the ability to deploy a compact system that offers performance comparable to configurations twice as large is an undeniable advantage for CODA Audio.
“We are proud to have a substantial portfolio, which covers a very large part of the CODA Audio range,” Maurin commented. “This is a real asset for deploying complete solutions across the country. We are clearly seeing an increase in opportunities. We have more than 600 loudspeakers, all categories combined. This allows us to cover projects as varied as conventions, tours, festivals, arenas, and even stadium sized spectacles. There’s no limit to what we can equip.”
MOG Rent recently supplied equipment for the King Arthur Festival in Brittany in collaboration with Spectaculaire, whereby; the local provider was equipped with CODA Audio. Reflecting on recent successes, Maurin proudly shared: “Internationally, we participated in the Mawazine Festival in Morocco with Dushow for a large-scale event with an impressive main stage. We also contributed to the 2024 Olympic Games with Videlio, equipping the audience reception areas in various stadiums, with more than 120 HOPS8 speakers deployed throughout the entire Olympic Games infrastructure. This large-scale project demonstrates the reliability and versatility of CODA Audio solutions,” Maurin concluded. “Both the Rugby World Cup 2023 Fanzone with Concept Group, and more recently, the return this year of Cinéma Paradiso Louvre Festival with Aquila Events held in Paris, relied on CODA Audio systems. Long may this collaboration continue!”
