Brand: Coda Audio
#39 Coda Audio G512: $2,520 Passive eBay
Same family: the Coda Audio G308 (smaller model, estimated 3.5/5), the Coda Audio G515 (larger model, rated 3.7/5), the Coda Audio G712 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3.8/5) and the Coda Audio G715 (larger model, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: A light passive 12 inch PA speaker that is easy to drive, with a rotatable waveguide for horizontal or vertical placement. High-quality vendor Spinorama data gives preference scores of 3.04 standalone and 6.11 with an ideal subwoofer. A 98dB sensitivity and 132dB peak rating come from a 16kg cabinet, and the rotatable 90° x 60° waveguide fits horizontal or vertical placement. Measured bass extension of 112Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Measured bass reaches only about 112Hz (-3dB), and listening-window narrow-band deviation is 0.531, so the tonal balance is thin and uneven compared with the leaders in this ranking. It is passive, so an amplifier and processor with the maker’s presets are required.
Is the Coda Audio G512 right for you?
Skip it if
- you will not add a subwoofer: bass rolls off below about 112 Hz.
- you want the best value: the higher-rated QSC K12.2 costs about $1,620 less.
