Sound Effects was able to able to finish the set up & sound checks two days prior the festival. The
sound design was executed safely to ensure there was no spill-over or sound bleed onto the other
stages. "Like every festival the most challenging part is keeping the sound volume in check, along
with the length and throw of the sound. Thanks to the JBL LAC (line array calculator) all this was
achieved easily," comments Uday.

Manish Chandnani, Head- Live, Nodwin Gaming for giving us this opportunity yet again,"
