Slash Enterprises is now geared up with DiGiCo SD9
Slash Enterprises in Hyderabad has recently invested in a DiGiCo SD9 digital mixing console. It was
purchased through India distributor, HiTech Audio Systems Pvt.Ltd., New Delhi.
‘We were looking for something compatible for our line of work and were introduced to DiGiCo SD9 by HiTech.
I was awestruck by the features of the consoles and instantly loved everything about it,’ says Ronald
Daniel, owner of Slash Enterprises.
Slash Enterprises was found by Francis Daniel who used to handle DJ events for weddings and corporate shows.
With time the company expanded its sphere of work by mixing for live bands as well as church events.
Francis’s younger brother Ronald Daniel joined the team and gave a new vision to the company. With the
help of advance technology and cutting-edge equipments, Slash Enterprises joined the big names of
Hyderabad’s audio rental industry.
Whilst Ronald has experience as a sound engineer, now his rental company- Slash Enterprises has various
clients for live mixing. ‘Mostly I mix for closed space venues to open air live shows. The audience
footfall varies and the needs of artists are more demanding. For this array of shows, ease of use is a
prime consideration in my console choice. And DiGiCo SD9 is a perfect choice for my scope of work,’ says
Ronald.

The console also offers 155 Dynamic EQ processors, all of which can be assigned to any of the input or
output channels. Plus there are also 155 Multiband Compressors, 155 DiGiTubes , 16 gangable 32-band
graphic EQs, 12 stereo effects (selectable from a palette of 33), and 12 control groups (VCAs) that
