CODA Brings 3D Graphics with Sound to Life at Se Cathedral


CODA Audio delivers flawless sound coverage and 3D Graphics at Se Cathedral


In December 2024, the historic Se Cathedral in Goa became the backdrop for an awe-inspiring 3D projection light and sound show, narrating the story of the Exposition of St. Francis Xavier. Over 2,800 attendees gathered across 12 days to witness this breathtaking spectacle, made even more immersive by CODA Audio's cutting-edge sound systems.

Installed by Dave Drego and his team at Electrocraft, CODA Audio seamlessly integrated with the cathedral's architecture, ensuring crystal-clear sound and impeccable coverage. The standout moment of the event was the performance by the Shillong Chamber Choir, where CODA Audio's precision brought every note to life. The objective was to create an immersive audio experience that complemented the grandeur of the visuals, all while maintaining unobstructed views for the 3D projection mapping within the vast open-air venue measuring 250ft x 250ft.

Delivering exceptional sound quality without interfering with the projection mapping was a significant challenge. The audio system had to be strategically placed to avoid blocking sightlines while ensuring uniform coverage across the large venue. This required array systems that could be flown high and spaced approximately 200 feet apart, striking the perfect balance between visual clarity and sonic impact.

To meet these demands, the Electrocraft team turned to CODA Audio. Its compact yet powerful systems provided the necessary precision, flexibility, and superior sound quality while maintaining a minimal footprint. By optimising the placement of the arrays, CODA Audio ensured that every note and spoken word resonated clearly, elevating the audience's experience.

Equipment Deployed:

  • 20 x AiRAY Line Array Boxes
  • 8 x SCP Dual 18” Extreme High-Excursion Subwoofers
  • 8 x SCVF 18” Sensor-Controlled Subwoofers (for Shillong Chamber Choir)
  • 8 x CiRAY Boxes (used as front fills)

To achieve flawless sound coverage, the system was meticulously designed with 20 AiRAY boxes flown in a configuration of 10 per side, ensuring outstanding clarity and projection. The eight SCP subwoofers provided deep, impactful bass, filling the venue with immersive low-frequency energy. Additional SCVF subwoofers were deployed for the Shillong Chamber Choir's performance, enhancing the richness of the audio experience. Eight CiRAY boxes served as front fills, delivering consistent coverage for those seated at the front.

Despite the scale and complexity of the event, CODA Audio's compact and efficient technology allowed for exceptional sound delivery with a smaller number of speakers, proving its ability to maximise performance with minimal equipment.

CODA Audio stood out as the ideal choice for this event due to its superior technology and thoughtful design. Its compact size and small footprint facilitated seamless rigging and reduced visual intrusion, all while delivering exceptional sound quality across a vast area. Dave Drego from Electrocraft highlighted this efficiency: "The compactness and small footprint of the CODA speakers reduced a lot of human effort and transportation hassle. Apart from the team of engineers, we only required 2-3 people to rig the entire setup in Goa."

The 3D projection light and sound show left the audience spellbound, while the Shillong Chamber Choir's performance resonated deeply with attendees. Visiting engineers were equally impressed, noting CODA Audio's exceptional sound quality and adaptability in meeting the complex demands of the event.

With its compact yet high-performance systems, CODA Audio once again proved to be the perfect choice for large-scale live events, offering powerful, high-quality sound without compromising visual aesthetics. The seamless fusion of state-of-the-art sound with stunning visuals at Se Cathedral stands as a testament to CODA Audio's innovation and excellence in live event production.
