PP Sound Light Productions has invested in a second DiGiCo Quantum 338 and Western India’s first Meyer Sound PANTHER System.
“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,” commented Prasad Parkar, director of PP Sound Lights Productions. “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.”
“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 338incredibly 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,” Parkar continued. “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,” Parkar added. “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.”
Its second Quantum 338 system isn’t the only investment move from PP Sound Light Productions; as earlier in the year, the rental service provider also made a enhancement to their FOH loudspeaker inventory with the acquisition of a PANTHER line array system from Meyer Sound, complete with the powerful 2100-LFC Low-Frequency Control elements.
Parkar revealed that the decision to acquire the Meyer Sound PANTHER line array system was driven by the need to have a truly comprehensive sound reinforcement ecosystem. He explained that the confluence of the PANTHER line array modules with 2100-LFC subwoofers affords PP Sound Lights Productions with a comprehensive loudspeaker system that assures scalability and adaptability to efficiently cater to medium to large-scale event productions.
“With a max peak output of 150dB and horizontal coverage capabilities ranging from 80 degree 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 mesmerising as it would sound,” he enthused. “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 withunbelievable 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 enhances 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.”
According to Parkar, the combined capabilities of their newly acquired Meyer Sound PANTHER system and DiGiCo Quantum 338, now puts the company in a commanding position to cater to a wider variety of events more efficiently and guarantee world-class performance value. He shared that the company has already commissioned a number of large-scale concerts and music productions, particularly with the PANTHER system.
“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. 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,” Parkar explained. “For example, PP Sound Light Productions were chosen as the preferred audio partner for a couple of multi-city concert tours that were headlined by acclaimed Bollywood music producer Amit Trivedi and viral music sensation Aditya Gadhvi respectively; alongside music festival Royal Stag Boombox 2.0 tour which was hosted in burgeoning cities like Indore, Jaipur, Pune and Bhuwaneshwar.
“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,” he added. “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.”
“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 Lights Productions,” Parkar concluded. “Our valuable clients 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 Lights 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!”
