DLIVE TAKES CENTRE STAGE AT BACARDI NH7 WEEKENDER
Allen & Heath’s digital mixing system was employed on the main stage of the Bacardi NH7 Weekender
which was recently held at RBDSA Sports Complex in Shillong, India. The annual multi-city festival
is one of the largest music festivals in India which hosts emerging local artists along with major
international acts.
Since the inception of the event, PA company, Sound & Light Professionals has managed the sound
reinforcement for the main stage. To meet the technically diverse demands for monitoring on
stage, the company deployed its recently purchased dLive S7000 Surface and DM64 MixRack supplied
by Allen & Heath’s Delhi-based distributor, Sun Infonet.
Madhur Hastikar who served as the band mix engineer during the set of Farhan Akhtar’s act said, “This
was my first experience using dLive and there are several features about the board which really stand
out. Firstly, the headroom is simply remarkable and also the dual Touchscreens make the GUI very intuitive
to the average user. The rotary controls feel very responsive similar to that of an analogue desk which
makes dialling parameters or gain a lot smoother.”
Manish Mavani, Owner, Sound & Light Professionals concluded, “With dLive, my team was confident it would be
able to cover each section of the stage.”
