Mega Sound at Bollywood Music Project

India: Mega Sound recently handled the sound production at the 2018 edition of Asia’s largest Bollywood music festival, Bollywood Music Project (BMP). The rental company deployed DiGiCo SD10 digital mixing consoles for the two stages at the festival and L-Acoustics loudspeakers for the main stage, all supplied by the Indian distributor for both manufacturers, Hi-Tech Audio Systems.

The festival took place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium over two days with a line up of more than 50 Bollywood artists. The L-Acoustics setup comprised 30 K2 loudspeakers, 16 KS28 subwoofers and eight Kara cabinets. ‘We installed K2 as the main PA, along with Kara for centre-fill, KS28 for subs and LA12X amplifiers powering up the entire system,’ recalled Siddharth Chauhan, director of Mega Sound. ‘The K2 system’s flexibility makes it suited to touring applications and outdoor productions.’

‘The L-Acoustics K2 system increases the headroom of the system,’ explained Mega Sound’s chief system and mix engineer, Vishrut V Joshi. ‘It offers K1 performance in a rescaled package that makes it well-suited for touring applications.’

The DiGiCo SD10 consoles were used on both the first and second stages at FOH. The Mega Sound team received technical support from the DiGiCo specialists at Hi-Tech Audio Systems. ‘The technical support team from Hi-Tech Audio Systems ensured the sound engineers enjoyed working on the console and that everything ran smoothly,’ said Mr Chauhan.

‘There is always an amount of personal preference when it comes to choosing the right console for any given job but, for the BMP audio production team, what it comes down to is which consoles can deliver the best possible sound for the entire show,’ explained Hi-Tech Audio sales director, Nirdosh Aggarwal. ‘Vikram Mishra, Tanay Gajjar, Nikjil Mulay and other leading audio engineers in the country were behind the consoles at BMP. They appreciated what the DiGiCo consoles had to offer to make their job easier while working with various artists at this multi-genre event.’

Mr Gajjar handled live mixing for the main stage. ‘DiGiCo is renowned for its support and the stability of its consoles,’ he commented. ‘I like the workflow and flexibility they give me, making my work effortless during the show.’

‘I was using SD10 for Stage 2 FOH,’ added mixing and mastering engineer, Tosief Shaikh. ‘The entire system was simple to set up and it all worked perfectly. During the event I never had any stability issues, and the gain sharing at the rack gave us lots of headroom.’
