Martin Audio Offers Precision and Power for Alegria 2025
Superwaves deployed W8LM mini line arrays and Martin Audio products for precision at Algeria
Festival
Alegria, The Festival of Joy, returned to the Pillai Group of Institutions in Mumbai
for its 2025
edition, once again drawing an audience of over 50,000. Known for its expansive scale and electric
atmosphere, Alegria is a staple on India's college festival circuit, combining top-tier music
performances with vibrant student engagement. This year's headline acts included Raghav Chaitanya,
KR$NA, DJ Chetas, and Lost Stories, each delivering high-impact sets that spanned genres and moods.
Ensuring audio fidelity for an event of such magnitude was entrusted to Superwaves, who
deployed a
Martin Audio sound system tailored to the venue's demands. The setup was anchored by Martin
Audio's
Wavefront Precision Longbow (WPL) line array, selected for its power, clarity, and ability to
handle
dynamic live performances across a large audience area.
The WPL line arrays were flown at the Front of House (FOH) position, delivering consistent,
articulate sound coverage across the breadth of the festival grounds. The low-end was reinforced
using Martin Audio's SXHF218 hybrid horn/reflex flown subwoofers, which provided the necessary punch
and presence for bass-heavy sets. To further enhance low-frequency impact, SXH218 subwoofers were
positioned in both centre and end fire configurations, maximising output and definition.
To address the requirements for side fill and on-stage monitoring, the team deployed W8LM mini
line
arrays for Side Fill coverage. These compact enclosures delivered balanced output to
audience areas
beyond the main FOH throw, while maintaining sonic consistency. On stage, Martin Audio LE200
floor
monitors ensured that performers received clear and accurate audio, allowing them to deliver
precise
and confident performances.
The system design was carefully engineered for even coverage and clarity, and the outcome was a
sonic experience that kept the crowd fully immersed. Whether it was the lyrical intensity of KR$NA,
the high-octane Bollywood mixes from DJ Chetas, or the pulsating electronic drops of Lost Stories,
the sound system responded with nuance and power.
Gurvinder Singh Saini, Director of Superwaves, shared his reflections on the project:
"Delivering high-quality sound for Alegria 2025 required precision and power. The setup provided
exceptional coverage, ensuring an immersive experience for every attendee. With the right expertise,
we executed a flawless show that elevated our brand's reputation in live sound."
With technical expertise from Superwaves and the deployment of Martin Audio's high-performance WPL
system, Alegria 2025 set a new benchmark for audio delivery at large-scale college festivals. The
event not only met the expectations of a high-energy crowd but also demonstrated how carefully
integrated audio systems can elevate live performance to a professional standard.
