Audio Cohesion At The Grammy Awards

Michael Abbott, the audio producer for the Grammy Awards, on using a Cohesion System at this year's Grammys. 

 

Some stats about Cohesion from Clair Global:

  • Cohesion is the most-chosen PA system by major touring artists 
  • 40% of the top-20 grossing artists (according to Pollstar data) used Cohesion systems 
  • An unrivaled combination of output, bandwidth, small form factor, and low weight and industry-leading SPL density 
  • Smaller and lighter than other products of comparable output and/or bandwidth 
  • Higher output and broader bandwidth than other products of comparable size and/or weight 
  • The high output and small form factor results in systems that enable better sightlines for audience members and less obstruction for cameras 
  • The CP 218 II+ subwoofers are self-powered with 9000W of onboard power, delivering an industry-leading 146 dB of maximum output 
  • Very high-efficiency centrally located MF and HF devices that collectively enter a proprietary large format waveguide system with a pair of very high output LF devices 
  • Very broad horizontal control, precision in refining vertical pattern control, and consistent off-axis response
