COSMO Line Array – Instructions for use
1 Introduction
1.1 COSMO – Modular for Economy and Flexibility
The COSMO line array system was engineered to be an
exceptionally fl exible, easily confi gurable solution for professional
sound reinforcement applications. It pairs outstanding audio
quality with remarkably convenient handling.
With horizontal directivities of 100° (C 6), 80° (C 8), and 60° (C 10),
this family of ultra fl exible systems provides the bandwidth
needed to cover the most diverse live scenarios. Each cabinet type
can be deployed individually and in various combinations with its
siblings. The center component is always the COSMO C 8 mid/high
unit with 80° horizontal directivity.

The new COSMO Multicell Transformer (MCT) serves up much
smoother frequency response, less distortion, and far more
uniform throw patterns than its predecessor, 2002's Cohedra
AcousticLens. HK Audio engineers used sophisticated computer
simulations and rapid prototyping to develop this ingenious
waveguide – a feat unthinkable without these state-of-the-
art tools to tame the complex physics of sound reinforcement.
The MCT's many narrow channels shift resonances to higher
frequencies range beyond the audible range.
All this makes working life much easier for the FOH engineer at the
mixing desk. Powerful 6.5", 8" and 10" speakers provide the perfect
low midrange support for the COSMO modules' high-frequency
range. The three M/H units share the same 60-by-45 cm footprint,
so they are very easy to set up and connect. This universal format
also brings the hardware accessory count down.
