PP Sound Light Productions Acquires 2nd DiGiCo Quantum 338
and First Meyer Sound PANTHER in Western India
Mumbai-based PP Sound Light Productions, a prominent player in the live entertainment
industry, has
marked a significant milestone with its latest acquisitions: a second DiGiCo Quantum 338 digital
mixing console and Western India's first Meyer Sound PANTHER line array system. These
additions
reflect the company's ongoing commitment to providing top-tier audio solutions and enhancing their
technological capabilities.
Having established itself with a modest audio setup nearly a decade ago, PP Sound Light Productions
has consistently upgraded its inventory to include some of the most sought-after systems in the
industry. The addition of a second DiGiCo Quantum 338 console reinforces their position as a leader
in digital mixing technology. Prasad Parkar, Director of PP Sound Light Productions,
emphasizes the
impact of this investment: "The key to succeeding in the ever-dynamic realm of live sound and
concert production lies in staying ahead of the technological curve. And I can confidently say that
our company is the living embodiment of this adage. We at PP Sound Light Productions hold the
distinction of owning the first-ever DiGiCo Quantum 338 console that made its way to India
back in
2022. And what a wonderful journey it has been for us with DiGiCo. The move not only asserted
PP
Sound Light Productions' position as an undisputed trend-setter, but also allowed us the capacity to
offer a level of sound performance, features, and reliability that the market had never witnessed
before!"

Prasad elaborates on why the company chose to invest in a second Quantum 338, noting, "Almost all
the world-class artists, performers and engineers that we've worked with ever since we acquired our
first Quantum 338 back in 2022, have absolutely loved the console. I've personally worked on the
console for several events as well, and I can confidently say that the features and capabilities of
the Quantum 338 are truly remarkable. Not only is the Quantum 338 incredibly ergonomic, functional
and powerful with a smooth and intuitive interface; but more importantly, it sports a familiar
operating system + workflows which allows for seamless cross compatibility with almost all other
models from DiGiCo's impressive line-up. Additionally, the Quantum 338 comes equipped with a
powerhouse of amazing capabilities that empower engineers with phenomenal capabilities to tailor the
sound with immense precision. The Mustard and Nodal processing are simply outstanding, and features
like Spice Rack and True-Solo are wonderful tools that add unbelievable character and depth for a
highly nuanced sound experience. No wonder engineers all over the world love the Quantum 338! From a
rental perspective though, the fact that the Quantum 338 supports DMI Cards and therefore Dante,
means that complete control is possible through the console and Dante-enabled outboard racks. This
enables us with the capacity to provide a solid and reliable networked solution for intricately
complex events and all types of major productions - from tours to festivals to high-end corporate
events. With the exponential increase in work and PP Sound Light Productions now being a preferred
partner for several world-class performers and event producers across India, the decision to add yet
another DiGiCo Quantum 338 was simply inevitable."
The company has also made a groundbreaking investment in Meyer Sound's PANTHER line array system.
This acquisition includes 24 PANTHER line array modules and 18 units of 2100-LFC Low-Frequency
Control subwoofers, making PP Sound Light Productions the first in Western India to own this
advanced system. Prasad Parkar explains the rationale behind this move: "The decision to acquire the
Meyer Sound PANTHER line array system was driven by the need to have a truly comprehensive and
formidable world-class sound reinforcement ecosystem, so that the company could assure nothing less
than superlative and pristine audio productions for every kind of event - especially the vast
variety of large-scale music concerts that the company has recently been commissioning on a regular
basis. And highlighting his innate understanding of loudspeaker nuances, he explains that the
seamless confluence of the PANTHER line array modules with 2100-LFC subwoofers affords PP Sound
Lights Productions with a truly comprehensive loudspeaker system that assures remarkable scalability
and adaptability to efficiently cater to medium to large-scale event productions."
He further notes, "With a max peak output of 150dB and horizontal coverage capabilities ranging from
80 degrees to 110 degrees - the PANTHERs pack unbelievable power and precision into a form factor
that's both logistically convenient and aesthetically appealing as well. This means that the various
performance stages we commission would look every bit as mesmerizing as it would sound. The system's
high output and minimal distortion, remarkable frequency response, exceptional phase coherence, and
expansive horizontal coverage - all make it the ideal choice for the kind of premium live events
that we've been working on. Having said this though, I do believe that the real magic happens when
you combine the sheer performance capabilities of PANTHER line arrays with the unbelievable power of
the 2100-LFC subwoofers, as these two world-class technologies come together seamlessly to precisely
match the acoustics of any venue. The 2100 LFC subs perfectly complement the unique voicing
characteristics of the PANTHER line array modules, and effortlessly enhance the overall performance
of the system with its thunderous low-frequency fidelity - all within an astoundingly compact
footprint. And the performance of the system in total assures nothing less than a truly wholesome
sonic experience."
The Meyer Sound PANTHER System used in world famous tours
The recent upgrades have positioned PP Sound Light Productions to handle a wider array of events
with unparalleled audio quality. The company has already deployed their new systems for high-profile
events and continues to work with renowned artists and event producers across India. Prasad Parkar
concludes, "Fun fact - the day we took delivery of our Meyer Sound system was the day it was
deployed at the supremely successful Ed Sheeran Mathematics tour concert that took place in
Mumbai
earlier this year. And I can safely say that everyone was absolutely blown away by the performance
of the system and the immersive soundscape that it delivered. In fact, ever-since we've brought home
the PANTHER system, we've been busy deploying it for a flurry of world-class events all across
India. For example, PP Sound Light Productions were chosen as the preferred audio partner for a
couple of supremely successful multi-city concert tours that were headlined by acclaimed Bollywood
music producer Amit Trivedi and viral music sensation Aditya Gadhvi respectively; alongside a
fan-favourite music festival called the Royal Stag Boombox 2.0 tour which was hosted in
burgeoning
cities like Indore, Jaipur, Pune, and Bhuwaneshwar. Needless to say - every single one of these
shows was a massive hit - and each of the respective artists that performed at these events showered
heaps of praise for the unmatched performance value that our PANTHER system delivered. Additionally,
we also worked on several high-profile events with reputed artist engineers like Pramod
Chandorkar,
Lee Braganza, Farhad Daruwalla, Tosief Sheikh, Ankit Purao, Jaidev Terpale, and many more -
all of
whom were so impressed with their experience of working with us, that they have explicitly expressed
their intent to partner with PP Sound Light Productions for all their upcoming live events. This
kind of wonderful feedback fills me with confidence about the upcoming season which promises to be
full of grand celebrations - from religious festivals to big-fat wedding ceremonies to the exciting
lineup of concerts featuring globally-renowned international acts. And we at PP Sound Light
Productions are absolutely ready for it! The strategic investments in our new Meyer Sound PANTHER
system and the enhanced DiGiCo Quantum 338 setup have already had a positive influence on our
business and the value proposition that we bring to the table; as it has opened the doors to a whole
new world of possibilities for PP Sound Light Productions. And our valuable clients - who have been
our pillars of strength and a source of constant inspiration - can now rest even more assured of our
capabilities. Honestly speaking, it looks like the upcoming season is going to be an extremely busy
one for our team at PP Sound Light Productions, as several clients have already booked our services
for a line-up of large-scale events and mega productions to ensure that their audiences enjoy a
truly bespoke experience!"
With these significant investments, PP Sound Light Productions continues to set new standards in
live sound and event production, ready to deliver exceptional audio experiences for audiences across
India.
