Solutions Borne Out Of Necessity Ram Bhavanashi

Editor, India And Middle East
Manufacturers are always looking to improve and upgrade
ram@spinworkz.com
their products to cater to growing needs and that is expected.
However there has also been a growing number of users be they
rental&staging companies or installation companies who have created
their own solutions to help them do their job better. A simple example
would be a company like PRG who through their vast experience
started to manufacture their own solutions as a way to move forward
and be distinct from the rest.

In our June issue we published about the illumination of Studio City admin@spinworkz.com
Macau by illumination Physics who were also responsible to design
and install the lighting. Needing to install a media facade in a space
that can be accessed for maintenance, but with some difficulty, the Dennis Toh
illumination Physics team created a unique IP Media Dots solution Brand Engagement Specialist
dennis@spinworkz.com
with no electronics on board and with each board having its own
dedicated extra low voltage cable. By simplifying the Media Dot, it
is made truly robust and the single cable per fixture means that if
one IP Media Dot is damaged, the problem can only affect that one
singular item, not a string of Media Dots connected in series, thus
easing maintenance work.

In this issue, our cover story is about Vivid 2016 and as many of
you will be well aware, the Technical Direction Company (TDC) has Rosalind Tan
Editor, Digital Platform
been wowing audiences every year with their projection mapping (Freelance)
capabilities. To make it easier for the company to monitor the status rosalind@spinworkz.com
of the projectors in the various sites, the company created its own
software programme, “TDC Live View”, which has helped them Jimmy Chin
tremendously with their work. Design And Production

I am sure there are many other such solutions borne out of necessity
from the simple to the complicated. This industry thrives on creativity
and we are sure we will see more such solutions coming into play.

Thailand Takes Comprehensive Steps To

Upgrade Skillsets by Daniel Choo

Advisors, project team and working group (Sound, Lights, Image & Acoustic)

Thailand is on the right path to upgrade occupational skills
in the entertainment technology industry. Taking the lead
are veterans from the sound, light, visual and acoustic
sectors of the live entertainment segment. Witnessing
the growth and expansion over the past 4 decades of the
entertainment industry in Thailand and recognising that the
industry needs the required skillsets to keep pace is what
motivated the industry to come up with a comprehensive
plan.
With only a handful of local universities offering degrees
related to the entertainment industry, interested individuals
find it hard to get a good job in the industry due to poor or
no foundation training. The flow of poorly trained workers
has many companies scrambling to find ways to expand
their business, which has resulted in companies conducting
in-house training to all staff and dealers to advance
themselves, where there is no real standardisation of skills.
In 2014, the initial team consisting of Daniel Choo and
Ajran Wanchai got the chance to present the issue of
unskilled manpower in the entertainment industry to the
management of TPQI for a review to include entertainment
technology occupational skillsets as part of TPQI
framework.
Finally, a MOU was signed and the Institute of Vocational
Southern 3 was appointed as the project manager to
establish the work-group to prepare the initial approved
list of occupation. The approved sector was for Live
Entertainment Technology in sound, lighting, visual and
acoustic.
Four categories for each aspect was formulated for training
and certification, as follows:

Operator Setup & Integrator Designer Maintenance

Sound Reinforcement √ √ √ √
Stage Lighting √ √ √ √
Live Visual (projection & LED) √ √ √ √
Acoustic (small room) - √ √ -
COMMENTARY

TPQI is a member of the global TVET (Technical and
Vocational Education and Training) movement launched
and supported by UNESCO-UNEVOC back in 1992. TPQI
mission is to certify professional knowledge, expertise and
skills by determining the level of personal competencies
using standardized classification of personal competencies
to promote national competitiveness. This process of trying
to promote professional qualification as a means to job
placement and career advancement aims to help people
excel in respective industries. This would help bridge the
importance between knowledge and competency for a
more holistic professional advancement and ensure that the
industry as a whole has more qualified personnel joining
the ranks.
This TVET movement not only helps establish a pool of
skilled workers for the industry but it does contribute to
the bottom line of unclassified and unemployment figures
too, as it reaches out to all 77 provinces in Thailand, where
proper education, training and even certification is not a
given.
In addition, as the leader among the Cambodia-Laos-
Myanmar-Vietnam region, the formalization of skills and
certification of TVET vocational training, would help
spearhead Thailand as the entertainment and training hub
for this region.
Working group presenting the skill framework for each sector of sound, lights, image and acoustic.

The initial sectors within the entertainment industry
urgently needed were sound reinforcement, live stage
lighting, live imaging projection and acoustic design for
music venue. Since these sectors employed the most
people across all 77 provinces, be it mini concerts in
shopping malls to temple shows to big local & international
concerts.
The process started with the gathering of leading industry
veterans and top Thais companies in the sound, light,
visual & rental business to gather for the very first time to
share experiences and expectation for the development of
new professional occupation standard.
The initial phase saw the formation of the skillsets needed
for Sound and Lights for live events, club, theatre and MICE
industry. Professionals from the local industry were invited
to join the various workshops to share about the various
skills in demand within these industries. Their main task
was then to help draft the skillset required for each job and
then further divide them into various skills level. The team
met on a weekly basis to brainstorm on the formation and
formalisation of the first occupational standard for the Thai
entertainment industry.

APG at Yale-NUS
SINGAPORE: Yale-NUS College has the distinction of
being the very first liberal arts college in Singapore. The
college was established in 2011 as a collaboration between
Yale University from USA and the National University of
Singapore.
Located within University Town in central Singapore, the
college features three performance spaces, namely the
Performance Hall, Blackbox Theatre and the Amphitheatre.
The Performance Hall has a total seating capacity of 339
between its Stall and Circle seats and is used for acoustic
performances, talks, seminars, concerts and even doubles
up as a lecture theatre when needed.
The Blackbox Theatre has 126 retractable bleachers with
a maximum capacity of 152 seats and is used for theatre
performances as well as talks, seminars, concerts and
classroom lecture.
The outdoor Amphitheatre is designed as a 3-tier semi-
circular seating space and does not have an overhead
protection from the weather. It is mainly used for small gigs
and as a hangout space.

The technical team at Yale-NUS wanted to add a decent
audible sound system to their inventory that will help
enhance what they already had and offer them more
options. After enquiring and listening to a few brands, they
decided on APG's DX12 and SB115 systems. The DX12 is
a 2-way coaxial, bass reflex system that features a 12”
Neodymium cone driver and a 1” Neodymium HF driver.
The SB115 is a compact, vented, dual interactive chamber
subwoofer that features a 15” ferrite cone driver.
“The systems purchased by Yale-NUS can be used both
as a FOH or monitoring system thus offering the technical
team flexibility on how they want to use it in their various
spaces,” said Imran Hahrit, Sales Director, APG S.E.Asia Pte
Ltd.
Md Shafei Bin Seri, Technical Manager at Yale-NUS
commented, “The APG systems are small built but offer
good precise sound output. The unique low profile of the
DX12 speaker allows us to use it as a floor monitor in the
Performance Hall where the first row seats are less than 1
meter from the stage.”

and the management at the Art Of Living are absolutely
convinced about the amazing change in the quality of audio
experience at the various stasangs and events that we do.”

Proel Delivers Axiom Seminar In Hanoi
VIETNAM: Proel's newly appointed distributor Viet Thai
An Trading Co. Ltd. organised a product seminar and
demonstration of Axiom professional loudspeaker products
in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi in March. Technical sales
support engineer Daniele Massaccesi, in a format that
has proved successful in opening new markets to the
Axiom brand, introduced the company's 25 year history
in manufacturing, and the solutions offered by Axiom
loudspeaker systems.
The first day was largely devoted to training of the
internal sales and technical support staff, introducing
them to an overview of the products in the Axiom range
and their applications. The second day's proceedings
provided a more detailed presentation of the entire Axiom
product catalogue – medium and small scale line arrays,
point source loudspeakers, subwoofers, and supporting
electronics – and how they may be best used to create
solutions for many everyday problems encountered in
mobile and permanently installed sound reinforcement
situations. In particular, two relevant topics were discussed:
subwoofer array beam forming, and examples of how to
use front fill speakers to augment a main PA system.
18
On the third day an outdoor demo was staged at the
Cultural House of Thanh Xuan District, which has a capacity
of 1500 people, with high quality pre-recorded music files
and a live band. There were two main PA setups for the
live demo – an Axiom powered line array system consisting
of six AX2010A dual 10-inch elements and two SW218A
dual 18-inch subwoofers per side, and a compact line array
system consisting of two AX2065 passive elements and two
AX2065 powered elements plus two SW125A dual 15-inch
powered subwoofers per side.
According to Massaccesi, the attendees really appreciated
the unexpected projection of the AX2010 array in the
far field and the considerable energy delivered by the
subwoofers, while they were impressed by the mid-range
quality and clean, undistorted sound from the smaller
AX2065 system.
Over the two days of the seminar, more than 40 people
attended, the majority from rental and event companies,
and three well-known sound engineers from Hanoi
were also present. More than 400 people attended the
demonstration from all over Vietnam, and they were all

very surprised and excited about the sound quality of the
Axiom line array systems.
"For us this event has been a big success," said Mr Trung.
"These kinds of seminars and product demonstrations
are very important to affirm ourselves in the Vietnamese
pro audio market, and we are very grateful to Proel for
the resources they have provided us. Although we are a
young company, incorporated in 2014, we are growing fast
with more than 15 staff spread across sales, purchasing,
marketing and PR, after sales service, and warehousing.
"Many more people came to the demo than we expected,
and we are confident that exposure to the Axiom systems
and products will translate into results – we have signed
seven contracts already and expect many more in the
next few months. We had some excellent feedback from
customers who have now learned as a result of the seminar
the key points of difference, and how to install and use
Axiom loudspeakers in professional applications. We were
20
all really impressed with the sound quality of the speaker
systems, and with the excellent presentations and product
information we will be able to convince our customers of
the strength of the Axiom brand."
“I am very happy to have had the opportunity to meet
this company," said Proel's export area manager Gabriella
Di Giminiani. "Viet Thai An Trading Co. is the perfect
partner for us. They are all young people but already very
experienced sound engineers – hard workers, very capable,
dynamic, and focused. They immediately understood
the value of our products and have been explaining it
successfully to their customers. With them I am sure that
Axiom will have the right appreciation and positioning in the
Vietnamese market. This is the best synergy we could hope
for, and indeed the results in terms of sales are already so
incredibly positive.”

Speechline Digital Wireless at the Emirates Airline

Festival of Literature
DUBAI: db, a leading AV-rental company in Dubai,
recently upgraded its microphone inventory with the latest
Speechline Digital Wireless microphone systems from
Sennheiser. Selected for its rich feature set, unmatched
speech intelligibility, and aesthetic appeal, the new system
is being positioned by the rental firm as the solution of
choice for blue chip corporate events and conferences.

Following delivery of the new system and after receiving

comprehensive training, 3db leveraged its new Speechline
Digital Wireless audio system for the Emirates Airline
Festival of Literature (EAFOL), for which speech intelligibility
was paramount. The setup would have required over 60
channels of traditional analogue systems which would
have been problematic given the close proximity of the
conference halls. However, using the new system, 3db
managed to reduce the RF count by 40% which reduced
the risk of RF interference.

Pre-production planning and live analysis were also key

to the success of the event. As the EAFOL was the first
major Speechline Digital Wireless project in the region,
Sennheiser’s local team supported 3db throughout
pre-production and the event itself. “The project was a
resounding success for 3db as a number of users praised
the ease of use, ergonomics and style of the SL range,” said
James Ghamlouch, Head of Audio at 3db.

Over the duration of a 14-year long partnership, 3db and

Sennheiser have enjoyed a number of successes. “The
collaboration and assistance we have had from 3db will
ensure that the Speechline Digital Wireless product range
gets rolled out and progresses to become not just the
only wireless microphone system dedicated to speech
but the most successful one as well. We are very grateful
to the whole 3db team for their commitment to this new
product range and we look forward to continuing our close
relationship with them,” said Ryan Burr, Technical Sales
Manager at Sennheiser Middle East.

MNA Rises In The East:New Chinese Member
Companies Join The Alliance
Sam Zhao, newly appointed MNA Representative, Greater China
CHINA: The Media Networking Alliance (MNA) – the
professional AV industry alliance established to promote
awareness and uptake of AES67 – has announced the
membership of two major Chinese audio technology
companies.
3G Audio and Ningbo Soundking Electronics & Sound
Company are the first mainland China based companies
to join the MNA through the offices of Sam Zhao, newly
appointed MNA Representative, Greater China. System
Application Engineer, Greater China with QSC Asia, Sam
is a graduate in Electronic Engineering of the Beijing
Broadcasting Institute. He has focused on developing
applications of AV networking technologies from the earliest
days of CobraNet, including as Chief of Technology Training
Section at the Technology Management Center, at China
Radio International. He has written extensive technical
papers in China on the subject.
In the past 15 years Sam has trained more than 6000
people in the field of DSP and network transmission
solutions throughout Greater China, and has worked on
a number of high level network application projects for
airports, theme parks and convention centers. He joined
QSC in 2013, relocating to Hong Kong. The MNA appointed
Sam in May this year as its representative in Greater China,
to promote AES67 development in the region.

“China is the biggest PRO-AV market after the USA,
and the global leader for PRO-AV production, with
companies servicing both local and international markets,”
he states. “However, there is a major challenge with
intercommunication and compatibility between different
networking protocol and the various technical issues. AES67
helps to solve these issues. Already the MNA organization
is helping many manufacturing companies and system-
integrators to enhance their networking solutions, even as
a brand new technical standard in China.”
3G Audio was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in
Dongguan City in Guangdong province. The company has
sales offices in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong
Kong, focusing on professional sound engineering, system
design, technical services and product sales. A major
speaker and PA systems manufacturer, the company has
international distributors, including in Europe and the US.
The subject of AoIP is of keen interest to the company in
its future product development plans. According to CTO
Ammon Ren, AES67 has a significant role to play in that,

Barco Introduces Two New Juniors
Catering to companies who are pining to have the Event
Master in their inventory but yet not needing the full
feature for the moment, Barco has given them a way in
with the introduction of two new juniors within their Event
Master family of screen management systems. The E2
Jr and S3-4K Jr allow smaller companies to benefit from
Barco's renowned technology, advanced features, and 4K
performance at an attractive price point. Moreover, they
always have the opportunity to upgrade to a full-blown E2
or S3-4K system at any time. This way their Event Master
system grows with their shows.
The E2 Jr and S3-4K Jr enable easy and reliable show setup
and production at 4K performance level and are future-
proof as they provide an option to upgrade to the full E2
and S3-4K systems.
Offering 16 inputs, 8 outputs, and 8 mixers, the E2 Jr
features the same 4 RU form factor as its bigger E2 brother.
The S3-4K Jr comes with 8 inputs, 4 outputs, and 2 mixers
in the same 3 RU form factor as its bigger S3-4K brother.
Ashly Launches digiMIX24 Digital Mixer
Ashly's digiMIX24 is a versatile, compact 24-channel
digital mixing console with professional inputs/outputs,
integrated signal processing and effects, iPad® Remote
Control integration, user-friendly software, and intuitive
mixing via the live control surface. The Ashly digiMIX24 is
ideal for worship and educational facilities, auditoriums,
gymnasiums, performance spaces and project studios.
30
Just like the E2 and S3-4K, the Jr models are controlled
from the same Event Master Toolset, a cross-platform GUI
that provides an intuitive step-by-step approach to system
configuration. Whether running on a Mac or Windows PC,
the Event Master Toolset makes preset programming and
system management effortless. The E2 Jr and S3-4K Jr are
also compatible with the compact EC-50 and large EC-200
event controllers.
www.barco.com
The Ashly digiMIX24 features 24 inputs (including 16
Class-A mic/line inputs); up to 14 mix buses (configurable
in many useful ways); 8 Aux outputs, 8 channel inserts;
33 channels of dynamics and equalization processing; and
2 stereo effects processors with reverb, delay, chorus and
more. Its intuitive control surface pairs with a seven-inch
LCD colour touchscreen, intelligent metering, and motorized
faders. The system management software makes it easy to
save, load, or copy mixer setups. Optional, field-installable
cards provide either Dante™ connectivity or a USB interface
for easy multi-track recording or playback.
The digiMIX24 offers two modes: a normal technical
mode with all of the depth and flexibility that an audio
professional would expect and an ‘EZ-Mode’ for non-
technical users in schools or churches. Like all Ashly
products, the digiMIX24 is covered by the company’s
industry-leading five-year warranty.

Elation Launches New High-resolution EVHD™ LED
Video Displays
The EVHD Series™ of LED video displays, is a new family
of professional, high-definition LED panels designed with
creativity and ease-of-use in mind for more artistic video
layouts.
Available in three different pixel pitches (2.8, 3.9 &
5.9 mm), the black-face EVHD video panels feature a
lightweight, fanless and bezel-free design with durable
die-cast aluminium frame for years of reliable service. A
modular front maintenance construction means the EVHD
panels can be mounted just inches off a wall for use in tight
spaces and accessibility from both back and front makes for
easier installation and more convenient service.
The EVHD panels are the ideal choice when the visual
design calls for out-of-the-box thinking. Lockable curve
adjustments make smooth, more creative convex or
concave designs possible for a greater variety of design
possibilities. Designers can create seamless curved video
displays, even full circle designs, while maintaining pixel
34
pitch and without visible gaps. The EVHD Series panels
use long-life SMD 2121 RGB LED's (SMD 1515 for the
EVHD 2.8 version) in a 500mm x 500mm format with wide
140° horizontal and 120° vertical viewing angle for a more
inclusive viewing experience.
Pixel by pixel calibration ensures optimal colour rendering
and maximum evenness across the displays for the clearest
colour and picture representation possible. Colours display
vividly and consistently and a high level of brightness
makes them suitable for use in high ambient lighting
conditions. 14-bit grayscale processing gives a high quality
picture with greater detail at lower brightness levels and
a broadcast-quality refresh rate means the screens won't
show flickering when used in broadcast applications.
Average energy draw is low and a universal auto-sensing
voltage power supply is included so the EVHD panels can
operate wherever they are used in the world.

Symetrix Releases Open Architecture Solus NX Series
Designed to serve in standalone DSP applications not
requiring Dante network audio, Solus NX provides the
same DSP power and delay memory as Symetrix' Radius,
Prism and Edge DSPs. Solus NX is ideal for small to large
installed sound applications, easily handling DSP-intensive
processing, routing and delay in complex environments
requiring sophisticated loudspeaker management,
automixing, paging, zone mixing, routing and distribution,
mic/line processing, AGC, room combining, and more.
The series includes the Solus NX 4x4, 8x8 and 16x8, the
models differing only in their number of analog audio inputs
and outputs. All three feature a high-resolution graphic
OLED which displays system status and metering. A single
push-button is used to navigate menus. Onboard GPIO
adds one more layer of control, flexibility, and economy.
Solus NX's integration with Symetrix' award-winning
Composer CAD based design software is especially
significant. Now integrators need only to be familiar with
a single programming platform to manage all Symetrix
open-architecture DSPs, including Solus NX, Radius, Prism
and Edge. Composers' Remote Control Manager provides
a true central hub for all aspects of control, listing every
parameter in the site file, with filtering options that make
locating and assigning a parameter quick and easy.
Additionally, an embedded server enables metering and
diagnostics support, while providing integrators the tools
36
to monitor any Composer-designed system by simply
launching a web browser and entering a specific unit's IP
address.
User control was top-of-mind in designing the Solus NX
Series. As Mark Ryals, Symetrix Director of Marketing
explains, "our customers demand flexible and intuitive user
control options. We have them covered with the Solus NX
Series: the convenience of zero-cost ARC-WEB to control
volume, mute, source selection and other important
parameters of sound systems from smartphone and tablet
web browsers; the flexibility and utility of the entire line
of low cost ARC wall panels, including the universal mount
ARC-3; and support for SymVue, our runtime application for
Windows that enables design and testing of GUIs without
low-level coding. Last but not least, we offer a stable,
human-readable control protocol for programming third-
party touch-control systems such as AMX and Crestron."
Dane Butcher, Symetrix Founder and CEO adds, "the level
of control and DSP processing power that is harnessed in
the Solus NX series will serve our customers well. Design
and commissioning of robust audio processing along with
user control device integration has never been easier or
more cost effective."

Stonewater And FaitalPRO: An OEM Collaboration
(L-R) Vikram Shetty with chief designer and founder Mahendra Palesha, Stonewater
Over the years, the team behind Indian company
"Stonewater" has been responsible for award winning
products and has become the preferred choice of
installation sound for many premium global brands in the
hospitality, entertainment and retail industry within India.
Stonewater comes with a rich technical heritage of over
42 years of experience with cutting edge innovation in the
field of electronics and electro-mechanics. A strong R&D
is coupled with a global manufacturing base that spans
between Europe, China and India.
Specialising in loudspeaker development, their state-of-
the-art laboratories are equipped with precision measuring
equipment and the latest simulation software required for
development. Their true asset however, is an enthusiastic
team of brilliant engineers who bring with them decades of
industry experience in India and Europe. The development
team also includes professional musicians. Their keen sense
for tone and balance allow to make the best use of both
40
machine-based objective testing, as well as the sensibilities
of seasoned human experience in the engineering
workflow.
We bring you a Q&A between Andrew Richardson of
FaitalPRO and Vikram Shetty, Director of Stonewater Audio
Labs.
Andrew: Vikram, can you describe some key
points of your business?
Vikram: Drivers and other key technical components for
our premium enclosures are manufactured in High Tech
European, Japanese and American factories. The non
technical parts like wooden enclosures, plastics, clamps etc
are manufactured in India and China under strict quality
control. Such a balanced spread of our manufacturing base,
allows us to keep a tight handle on product cost while still
delivering world class performance. The end result is that
our customers do not need to pay more than they need to.
INTERVIEW
ETA July 2016
The Commercial Installation market in India is often
blighted by equipment installed without the finesse and
expertise that a good audio set-up requires. We believe
that great products are only a step towards providing
what the customer is ultimately after - a great audio
experience. At Stonewater, an In-house team of specialists
closely analyse the characteristics of the listening area
and then, using that as the basis, decide on aspects such
as the exact configuration of the equipment, position of
speakers, cabling, acoustic treatment of the environment
and various other elements that contribute to a truly rich
audio experience. We believe that it is our holistic approach
combined with a rigorous attention to detail that has won
us the trust of numerous multinational customers. Our
customer list includes reputed cafes, pubs, fitness centres,
spas, houses of worship, malls, recreation centres, Bowling
alleys, Holiday resorts and more.
Here is a partial List of our Pan India customers: Golds
Gym, Starbucks, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Jamie's,
Wendy's, Barista Coffee, Barbeque Nation, Absolute
Barbeque, Snap Fitness, Apple Store, Nike, Tata, Louis
Phillipe, Van Heussen, Levis, Cocoberry, Funcity recreation
centres, Gloria Jeans Coffee, Sbarro Pizza, Subway
Restaurants, F Beach House (F-Bar), Pouring Barrels, Sayaji
Hotels
Andrew: Who are your target clients?
Vikram: In the first phase, we are looking at high end bars
and clubs as our primary targets. In phase two we will look
at high end rental companies.
Andrew: What is your view of the pro audio
market in India currently?
Vikram: I think the Pro-Audio market in India is gradually
evolving from a purely brand conscious to a quality
conscious market. This is good news for us. A few years
ago, people would buy a product just because its a western
brand. Now I see that is changing steadily. Customers are
increasingly basing their purchase decision more on the
quality of the product and less on the geographic origin of
the brand.
Andrew: What do you think is the main
reason behind your success as an Indian
Brand in India?
Vikram: The most significant factor that separates us
from the rest of the Indian brands, is a truly world class in-
house R&D department. Most Indian audio brands are little
41
more than traders buying finished products from China,
re-badging them and selling them in the Indian markets.
Stonewater on the other hand, from the very beginning has
laid a huge emphasis on high quality research. This has led
to products that not only perform well, but also address
some very specific and peculiar needs of the Indian market.
A big part of the credit for nurturing this culture of
innovation at Stonewater, goes to my business partner,
chief designer and founder Mahendra Palesha, a technical
genius who is always relentlessly looking at ways to better
his last successful design, no matter how good that last
design was.
Andrew: How is the business atmosphere in
your territory?
Vikram: India is probably one of the world's most amazing
and complex markets. High sensitivity to price and an
extraordinary diversity in demographics are important
factors to consider when one operates in the Indian
markets. Just to give you an idea, we have over 1652
languages spoken in India. With that comes huge variations
in culture and consumer behaviour too. One has to get
the cost to quality ratio absolutely right. There is really not
much room for error in this area. Like in any challenging
environment, those that adapt the best tend to survive.
Often times strategies that serve well in western markets
yield very different results in India. Consider the case of
Apple. In the US, the world's second largest Mobile Phone
market, Apple enjoys an approximate 44 percent of market
share. Whereas in India, the world's third largest mobile
market, Apple has a measly 1 percent market share. This
tells you an interesting story.
Andrew: Why did you switch to FaitalPRO?
Vikram: Getting the right cost to quality ratio had always
been a priority for us.
For a while we had been working with some premium
Chinese drivers in our products. They were the best
available from Chinese manufacturers. These were drivers
that would normally be used in European products in Entry-
Level to Mid-Level segments.
The results were good, provided we had stringent quality
measures of our own, in place. Good products and smart
pricing combined with an intense focus on after sale
service helped us earn a reputation as an honest brand
that offered good sound at a fraction of the price of what
INTERVIEW
ETA July 2016
western brands demanded for the same performance.
When this was achieved, we felt it was time to expand into
higher segments. So we decided to launch a new range of
products that competed with top end brands in terms of
performance, but would be priced in the range of Mid-level
products from western brands. We have a really good in
house engineering/R&D department. However, even the
best R&D in the world cannot result in good products
unless your component quality matches up. This is why we
decided to look at European suppliers. Finally we decided to
go with FaitalPRO for a combination of reasons.
1. They have one of the most modern and high tech
manufacturing facilities in the world today. This results in
a high degree of manufacturing consistency.
2. Most of their products sound really great. The
compression drivers in my opinion are really musical.
3. A very responsive and cooperative sales team. This is
a very important but often neglected factor by many
companies.
So we will continue to experiment with additional models
and products from the company and look for a good
affordable 18 Inch sub-woofer with higher sensitivity than
what's currently available.
Andrew: What is the overall impression and
comments from your clients since making the
change over to FaitalPRO components in your
design enclosures?
Vikram: Great performance with great consistency at hard
to believe prices!
Micro 6
42
Andrew: Please share your comments on the
"big picture" in relation to changing over to
work together with FaitalPRO
Vikram: Faital's capability to manufacture quality
components when married to our strong in-house Research
and Development strengths have led to the creation of
some truly outstanding products. These products can
easily compare with industry leading products in terms
of performance. The fun part is, due to lower operating
overheads of development and assembly in India, we can
make them much more affordable to customers when
compared to competing brands of foreign origin using
similar quality components.
Partnering with FaitalPRO has certainly increased the prices
of our products. But what has not been damaged is the
Quality to Cost Ratio. In fact I would even argue that there
has been a net improvement in the quality to cost ratio,
despite the increase in prices.
Andrew: Any idea for future plans?
Vikram: Currently we are busy setting up a larger, full
fledged manufacturing facility in India. Within one year,
leveraging on our partnership with FaitalPro, we are looking
at building a range of Ultra High Performance loudspeakers
in India and exporting them to Western and Middle Eastern
markets.

Palm Expo Expands, To ‘Deliver Business’
P
ALM EXPO 2016 – the 16th edition of India’s premiere
tradeshow on Pro Audio, Live and Install Sound, and
Light – sought to scale up by further remodelling from
its previous editions, through some very specific initiatives
on both quality and quantity. The result was visible across
the show floor and booths that looked far more serious in
business, with experientially less noise distraction, albeit a
discordant note or two!
The latest edition of the popular PALM EXPO, held from
May 26-28 at the Bombay Exhibition Ground in Mumbai,
was a sort of pack of surprises. Pleasant for most, and
wonderment for some though. For, it had some countable
measures:
Hall 5
44
by Ram Bhavanashi
• The event had a separate hall - Hall 5 connected to
Hall 1, that featured booths/exhibits focused on lighting
effects, lasers, stage lighting, install lighting, lED
displays, video projection. Hall 5 due to the nature of
the exhibits did have audio playing out loudly though
intermittently as after all how can you do a light show
without music. In contrast Hall 1 that was dedicated for
Audio, featured low, or NO sound ambience.
• It differentiated the MUSIC EXPO that had been an
integral part of the event for long; henceforth, the
MUSIC EXPO will no longer be part of the PALM EXPO.
• It introduced ‘paid’ entrance for all those who were
not invited by the exhibitors and organizers. This
straightaway meant filtration of non-serious crowds that
had been a sort of pain for the event since beginning.
• The PALM Soundscape, and DJ Championship, as well
as the IRAA Awards were organized, in a stand-alone
structure – Hall 4 – at the VIP parking area.
• It had what is claimed as the largest LED display wall
for an exhibition in the country, welcoming the visitors;
displaying every day the programme highlights of the
event and showcasing video promos of exhibitors
‘For the first time at PALM, we are seeing it so quiet,
despite with visitors, with no noise chaos, that’s very
heartening,’ was a sort of common expression from most
EXHIBITION REVIEW
ETA July 2016
exhibitors. “We are now able to talk to our potential buyers
with more focus, and even our visitors are happy about
that,” said an exhibitor who had been regular at the event.
“As an exhibitor that’s the least we expect, and we got it.
That’s great.”
The twin-factors of strict enforcement of ‘NO-Sound’
regulation on exhibitors, and ‘paid entrance only’ had a
very reassuring impact on the event, according to most.
The glare of criss-crossing lighting and laser beams having
moved to a different hall also helped the business to a
good extent, since it also took away the milling crowds that
normally get in for the sheer fancy of colour hazes.
Davinder Wadhwa, Chairman-Managing Director of the
newly-carved out Modern Stage Services Pvt Ltd (Projects)
– which as usual, had the largest booth space on the show
floor – endorsed: “We didn’t want ‘jantha’ (commoners/
non-serious visitors). We want people with whom we can
talk and do business. That’s happening. What else!”
Perhaps, that’s the best endorsement the 2016 edition
of PALM could have. “Our strict enforcement of ‘NO-
Sound Contract’ signed with the exhibitors, besides other
big initiatives have paid off exceedingly well; exhibitors
understood the importance of such a consensus and
accepted it all so well. That itself marks a big stride for
PALM,” explains Exhibition Director Ramesh Chetwani. “The
show scored on many other fronts as well.”
That the show recorded 23,732 unique visitors compared to
18,607 visitors for the 2015 edition, despite the paid entry,
showing an increase of over 20 per cent footfall, the growth
indicator is taken to be very positive.
Anil Chopra, the event’s Director says about the event’s
directions “we made a wise move by segregating the
audio and light shows- thereby creating exclusivity for the
domains and respective audiences. We are now rearing for
further growth.”
Affirms Ramesh: “Our motto of ‘Delivering Business’
remains strongly focused. We are happy that the industry
has supported us well, and we see growing together to
achieve higher laurels as we move together.”
The New Attractions…
The PALM 2016 show floor, as usual, had its own
attractions of ‘newcomers’ as well as new launches, besides
45
the biggies and regulars. Some of the most new attractions
included:
• A 3D-in-3D projection mapping display by the newly
carved Modern Stage Services Private Limited.
• Direct presence of two German audio majors, Adam Hall
and beyerdynamic.
• ‘Made-in-India’ speakers from first timer Micro
Electronics.
• Coming in of DPA microphones to Indian market.
• New musical bands and products taking centre stage at
the Arenas.
3D-in-3D demo by Modern Stage Srrvice Pvt Ltd
Modern Stage Service Pvt Ltd created a stunning visual
setting of 3D display on their spacious booth, with what
they called ‘the world’s first of its kind 3D-in-3D’ demo of
projection mapping. Bringing together the competence of
three distinct visual solution players – Christie, Dataton
and Infitec – the Delhi-headquartered entertainment
conglomerate, in association with its visual solutions
concern Video Designs, created truly mesmerizing visuals
of 3D imaging within a matrix of yet another, larger 3D
projection mapping setting.
“We wanted to bring something very unique to market
this time; we found there is a great demand for such kind
of solution,” said Davinder Wadhwa. According to him,
no one in the world ever attempted something like what
they did at PALM. “It’s a very unique solution that creates
immense value at the place of its install,” Wadhwa explains.
“Malls, Amusement and Theme Parks, Fashion pageants,
Museums, Experience Centres etc. will look and feel
differently with this solution.”

Using six units of Christie’s 14,000 lumen DLP projectors,
aligned in with Infitec’s 3D solution, and Dataton’s latest
Media Servers, the MSS Pvt Ltd team weaved magical
designs on the show floor.
Adam Hall, the German manufacturing and distribution
conglomerate, having been at the event for many years
through its local partners, chose to have its direct presence
this year. The company marked its coming by highlighting
its brand ranges that included Gravity microphone stands;
analogue VIBZ mixer; Maui5, and Curv 500 LD systems.
The company also displayed a range of stage systems and
hardware solutions.
The beyerdynamic local and German team
Another German audio major beyerdynamic, which had
also been showing its solutions through its local partners
all these years, made an independent presence this time,
indicating the audio major’s faith in the PALM platform,
as well as its growing business in the country. “We have
made some impressive business growth over the past years
in this region,” said Robert Winterhoff, beyerdynamic’s
Managing Director, Global Sales & Marketing. “It’s been
our strong commitment to India, and the market has been
quite promising,. It’s like demonstrating our commitment to
the market through our direct presence here.”
The company exhibited TG1000 wireless microphone
system that brings the huge advantage of big bandwidth
of 319 mhz, and charging contacts and the new
measurement capsule TG mm1W to calibrate ELA and
PA systems. However, brand new on their booth was the
drum microphone TG D71C. The boundary microphone
complements beyer’s legendary drum microphone Series
with a high impulse fidelity, quick-responding attack and
maximum sound pressure Level. The company also showed
microphones in the real application: the legendary M88
46
touring gear Series. Also new was the DT1770 coming with
Tesla 2.0 technology.
Micro Electronics, coming for the first time to the PALM
Expo, launched a sizable range of new speakers under
‘Made in India’ tag. Some of them included the 15FH510,
15FW76, and 15MT76 mid-range woofers, besides a few
more high-end woofer models.
PALM Expo 2016 also became a platform for introduction
of DPA microphone systems to Indian market through
Bengaluru-based audio-distributor Ansata. The company
demonstrated a range of DPA solutions on its booth, as a
highlight of its show.
A very important aspect of Indian Pro Audio
entrepreneurism that came out on the floor of the PALM
Expo, but not highlighted though, was the Vardhaman
Megatech (VMT) of the Vardhaman Group’s major initiative-
of acquiring majority ownership stake in the British audio
brand OHM. While the audio major exhibited on the floor,
its latest ranges under its BRT installation series, and GL-
15 Line Array series, beside others, the top ranks of the
companies disclosed that VMT will re-orientate the British
brand, with more custom developed product ranges and
marketing. (Read more about it here (link to E-newsletter).
Other audio manufacturing majors such as Bose, Electro-
Voice, Harman, Music Group, Neutrik, Sennheiser, and
Yamaha directly showcased their latest ranges, followed by
the distribution majors such as Ansata, Dev Electronics, GM
Audio, Hi-Tech Audio, Narain, Pro Musicals, Sound Team,
and SunInfoNet - all brought to the show floor their latest
ranges. Some of the products appeared really incredible,
and more they attracted quite a good amount of attention
and appreciation from visitors.
Bose Professional demonstrated its F1 Flexible Line Array
systems, and L1 Portable PA systems as highlights of its
show. F1, said to be the first powered portable loudspeaker
that lets the users control its vertical coverage pattern, can
be adapted to the PA of the space, irrespective of playing
at floor level, on a stage or facing raked seats or bleachers.
The L1 system, said to be Bose’s smallest, lightest and
easiest-to-set-up system weighing just 29 pounds,
combines conventional PA and monitors into one sleek
unit. Positioned behind or to the side of a performer, DJ or
presenter, it promises to deliver wide, even sound coverage

throughout the stage area and audience—even off to the
extreme sides.
Electro-Voice brought to PALM
their recent, and popular ND
Series microphones and the
X-line Line Array systems.
Launched initially at the
NAMM 2016 in Anaheim
early this year, the ND
Series, coming as it did as
successors to the N/Dym
Series is designed for live
performances and studio
applications. At the heart
of the new dynamic models
is a new large-diaphragm
capsule design which takes
the technology of the original
N/Dym capsule to new levels
of sonic performance. The series features dent-resistant
Memraflex grilles, humbucking coils to guard against EMF
noise and shock-mounted capsules to minimize handling
noise.
HARMAN, as usual, brought to show a wide basket of
solutions, and sought to hog the limelight with a slew of
product and programming offerings. On product front,
it had a unit or two from all its group concerns that
were highlighted by some incredible products. The most
notable, among the many included the Soundcraft Ui16
digital mixing system that comes in a compact, road-
rugged stagebox format, with built-in Wi-Fi and ability
to be controlled by any connected device via a standard
web browser- no Apps, no OS limitations, no constraints
on how or where one mixes from. The platform-agnostic
device – compatible with iOS, Andoid, Windows, Mac, and
Linux – can use up to 10 control devices simultaneously.
Besides, it features built-in HARMAN signal processing from
dbx, DigiTech and Lexicon, including dbx AFS2, DigiTech
Amp. While this unit is characterized by its sheer portability,
Soundcraft’s largest and latest offering, that actually took
the centrestage on HARMAN’s booth was the Vi7000 digital
mixing console that promises to deliver the best ever Vi
sound ever. Displayed for the first time for Indian market,
47
the Vi7000 packages ultra-low noise mic amp designs
and enhanced 96kHz 40-bit floating point digital audio
processing, while FX comes courtesy of 8 independent
Lexicon multi-FX units, BSS DPR901ii integration and a BSS

Delivering A Sound Performance At The KEA

Prabhath Rangamandira
Prabath Enterprises relies on the Bosch EVF Series to attain the perfect coverage

setup that would provide full

sound coverage and deliver
complete sonic clarity to the
entire hall.

Unfortunately, the
auditorium’s low ceilings
posed a problem. Such
ceilings resulted in a smaller
coverage for each speaker
and typically required a
greater number of speakers
to ensure a uniform sound.

To get around this difficulty,

Bosch recommended the

P
rabhath Enterprises is a well-known name in the
industry when it comes to designing and building
state-of-the-art auditoriums. As a subsidiary of
50-year-old establishment ‘Prabhath Sound System’, the
enterprise has been setting the stage for winning cultural
performances for over two decades.
Its innovative multi-purpose auditorium, KEA Prabhath
Rangamandira, located at the heart of West Bangalore,
stands as a clear testament to the team’s skills and
expertise. The facility is housed in the KEA complex and
boasts a 300-seater auditorium, a rehearsal and dining hall
as well as luxury accommodations.
proposed installing two EVF2151D and dual 15” subwoofers
to cater for low-end frequencies in the auditorium.
Completing the set-up were the ELX series powered stage
monitors, Q series amplifiers, DC-One DSP and N/D series
EV microphones.
The Bosch team also worked closely with M/S Maastek,
the sound installer, on an Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for
Engineers (EASE) model to ascertain the exact placement
for the two EVF speakers that were to be placed in the hall.
The perfect positioning of the EVF speakers on either sides
of the room also resolved the issue of inadequate sound
coverage, resulting in an even dispersion of audio.

In efforts to expand its presence, Prabhath Enterprises
embarked on a new project – taking over an existing
auditorium and completely refurbishing it with a state-
of-the-art sound system. To that end, the client turned
to Bosch. Having worked with Bosch on previous sound
installations and witnessed first-hand the superior sounds
of its product, particularly the Electro Voice EVF series of
loudspeakers, Prabhath Enterprises knew that this product
range was the natural – and sole choice – for its new
auditorium. It was planning to have a full-size arrayable
Overall, Bosch’s customised solutions and close
collaboration with the sound installer enabled Prabhath

L-Acoustics ARCS WiFo Brings International
Clubbing Excellence To India’s Block 22 Nightclub
Hyderabad nightspot sees the first X Series install in India
W
hen renowned club owners Mudassar Muneer
and Anand Yadav set out to build a brand new
500-capacity nightclub, they knew they wanted
to bring the very best elements of international clubbing to
Hyderabad’s posh HiTechCity. With the mission of giving the
city a genuinely outstanding social hub, they brought their
many years of travel seeking out the world’s best clubbing
experiences back to India.
During their research, Muneer and Yadav had been
impressed by the L-Acoustics sound systems and especially
in the blueFROG chain’s live music clubs in Mumbai and
Pune, both of which were installed by Mumbai-based Munro
Acoustics LLP. They asked Munro to design and install an
L-Acoustics sound system at Block 22.
“The idea for Block 22 was to bring Ibiza and Vegas
style chic to India, delivering a supreme aural and visual
50
experience,” said Munro Specialist Consultant Kapil
Thirwani. “We had already used L-Acoustics systems in the
blueFROG venues and Muneer and Yadav had also heard
one of the company’s systems at the Tomorrowland festival
in Belgium. We all agreed that L-Acoustics had the right
products to fulfil the brief of having ‘the world’s best sound’
at Block 22.”
The venue features a main space, two VIP areas and an
elevated DJ booth. Showcasing a range of music styles,
the club hosts regular live DJ sets and aims to schedule an
increasing number of international performers.
“Our brief was to deliver impeccable sound and great
acoustics,” said Kapil. “We have a reputation for bringing
out the best in venues and we knew L-Acoustics would be
the right solution. Because the venue has a high ceiling, the
generic solution would be to use line array. However, we
PROJECTS

wanted a relatively short throw with wide coverage so we
chose the ARCS WiFo system. We were surprised how good
the LF contour is when combined with the SB18 subs.”
The system features main clusters of three ARCS WiFo,
one wide and two focus either side, and two SB18 subs
per side, four SB28 subs for the dance floor and four of
L-Acoustics new X12 cabinets, which have an ellipsoid
directivity of 90° x 60°, making them ideal for fills for the
mezzanine VIP area which, due to the slope of the roof, has
a restricted height. The system is powered by LA4X and
LA8 amplifier controllers.
“The biggest issue we faced was ensuring maximum noise
isolation in the roof, as it is made of tin sheets. This was
achieved by using secondary isolation, with the razor-
sharp focus of the ARCS system also helping to contain the
sound,” said Kapil. “The result is an astonishing venue with
51
good acoustics and fantastic sound. It’s also the first ever
L-Acoustics X12s installed in India.”
With people coming from hundreds of kilometres away - as
far afield as Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai - to enjoy
Block22, clubbers seem to share that opinion.
"I was speechless when I heard the L-Acoustics system for
the first time in the club,” said co-owner Mudasser. “It was
an amazing experience. The sound is crystal clear and the
performance is outright massive!"
Anand agreed, adding "I love the mid-highs, they are
impeccably clear and the lows provide that all-important
‘thump’ wherever you stand in the club. L-Acoustics systems
are so powerful, they amaze me every time I hear them.”

MLA Family Takes Hakataza Theatre Upgrade Into A
New Dimension
Consistency and clarity wins the day for MLA
S
ituated in Hakata city, the Hakataza Theatre in the
Fukuoka Prefecture — one of the most famous
musical theatres in Japan — has been renovated after
16 years in order to meet complex acoustical demands for
events such as Kabuki, Musicals and Theatrical shows.
Several premium systems were trialled over a nearly five-
year period before Martin Audio’s MLA family was given
approval. As a result, 11 elements of MLA Compact are
hung left and right of the proscenium along with DSX sub,
and eight MLA Mini have been deployed as an L/C/R centre
cluster.
To cover the remaining areas (including under-balcony) a
further 73 Martin Audio DD6 have been specified.
The sound engineer, Mr Noguchi from Music Reserve
Inc, stated, “Our top priority is delivering perfect sound
to the entire audience. In Hakataza Theatre we have
to cater for many kinds of programme and in the past
we have experienced shortcomings in the sound with
some productions and presentations. The MLA family has
overcome that and given me an innovative way to deliver
consistent sound throughout the auditorium.”
52
MLA Compact has been designed to fire
sound evenly into the three tiers of the
theatre, using special optimisations. With
the elements optimised in groups — to
cover top to bottom tiers — Mr Noguchi
stated that the Preset function was very
useful when changing the optimisations
depending on the production. “The
distributed DD6s then help not only to
cover the audience area but also maintain
the character of sound. The Differential
Dispersion horn on the DD6 delivers
high clarity from the front to back seats,
and therefore there is no compromise
whatsoever in this new system.”
A second engineer, Mr Tsubone, also
added his endorsement to the MLA
system. “It is essential that every audience, no mater
what the performance, receives consistency and clarity
from the stage performers. This was our key priority when
choosing the system. MLA achieves this perfectly — even
when the voice is whispering through micro-microphones,
it not only delivers consistent frequency response but also
has a capability to control the non-audience area. This is
helpful for the engineer operating microphones to ensure
the important dialogue is delivered audibly to the audience
during the show.
“MLA is unique in this respect — in my opinion no other
brand can do this.”
Summing up, he said, “The choice of this system was
extremely important for us — it means we now have
the ability to control the sound pressure level for whole
audience area, suited to every type of programme.
No matter where each member of the audience is
seated, consistent sound will be delivered. I have never
experienced anything like this degree of functionality ever
before — It is overwhelming.”

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Laser-Dragon Water Theatre

TDC provided video projection onto three water-screens

that were mounted on a 13m robotic arm floating high
above 56 fountains, arranged in snake-like coils. The
moving water screen can take the shape of a fearsome
dragon or any of the characters taken from Commedia

Royal Botanic Garden
Steve Cain added: “We projected onto the ground to
add depth using bugs and critters. Due to the nature of
sculptures and trees, we used ultra-short-throw lenses on
our projectors. It was technically challenging from that
point of view. We used Ample Projects’ 3D modelling for the
entire site prior to the project using the d3 4by4pro Media
Server and the results speak for themselves.”
Royal Botanic Garden
Projections at the Royal Botanic Garden presented a
fresh challenge for TDC in terms of media serving and
engineering. The projections incorporated Ample Projects’
3D scans and mapping onto the giant Moreton Bay fig
trees. As Vivid’s Creative director, Ignatius Jones, noted:
“We did something at the Royal Botanic Garden that’s never
been done before by projecting videos onto the giant fig
trees. Many said that’s not possible, but when we did the
test we were totally blown away. The texture of the leaves
with the projection on them was extraordinary.”
Pete Lynn, Technical Project Manager, TDC said: “There are
three different areas throughout the gardens that we have
projected onto. Mapping non traditional surfaces such as
enormous trees has been really exciting and we are thrilled
with the results.”
The Matter of Painting
The Museum of Contemporary Art at The Rocks once again
served as a canvas for one of Vivid Sydney’s illuminated
artwork. Western Sydney artist, Huseyin Sami, joined forces
with Paris-based artistic collective, Danny Rose, to create
the illusion that the facade is actually being carved, painted,
cut and brushed during the presentation.

Steve Cain said: “I really love the colour and vibrancy of
this installation. The challenges for this site are multiple
angles, trees, and returns, which we’ve managed to map
accurately. This is a stunning building to project onto which
is a light coloured sandstone. The shape is really interesting
for projection too.
“Here, we used high-powered projectors and media
serving. However not every project uses bells and whistles.
Sometimes a simpler approach gives great results.” Cain
added: “We love the old buildings so we broke all records
in terms of set up, having projection mapping completed
in just 1.5 hours. New buildings and objects challenge us
which is the best way to learn things.”
Sergio Carrubba, managing director at Danny Rose added:
“Working with TDC’s highly experienced team is always
enjoyable and gives us assurances of the best possible
outcome.”
IMPOSSIBLE Voyage
At the historic Cadmans Cottage, spectators were treated to
a magnificent interactive adventure. Visuals and projection
were by Propaganda Mill. A 10-metre performance area
was transformed into the bow of a vessel, taking visitors
on a voyage through a magical portal to a mysterious
land. The installation takes visual input from across the full
width of the building and the graphics evolve in real time
depending on the interaction of participants.
In terms of projection, Olin Winton explained: “We kept
low profile viewing angles up as much as possible as it is a
small building.”

Sydney’s Hidden Stories
This year TDC and Spinifex Group took projection mapping
to the next level!
A new Reality Viewing Platform used Huawei’s latest
smartphones and tablets in an amazing augmented reality
experience at Custom House with visuals created by
Spinifex Group. After conducting a site survey of Customs
House at Sydney Harbour, TDC created a 3D model of
the building to plan a giant projection area of 32 by 18
metres. Spinifex Group delivered a 6 minutes fun filled
action packed animation that maps to the building, using
its intricate architecture, as well as additional content
only visible through the Huawei devices positioned on a
podium in front of the projection tower, creating a unique
Augmented Reality experience.
Cyril De Baecque, Managing Director at Spinifex Group
said: “TDC worked with our interactive department to
synchronise the content using the world clock so that
the projection on the building aligns with the content on
the Huawei devices played through a Unity based app
developed by Spinifex Group.”
Jeremy Mitchell, Director, Corporate and Public Affairs
at Huawei added: “Companies like TDC have achieved
outstanding results with our technology in this installation.
We are delighted with the results!”

Project Manager at TDC said: “The concept for this project
created working with Spark 44 and Spinifix gave us the
opportunity to demonstrate our technical skills in mapping
geometric objects. The added dimension of surrounding
the car with LED really adds depth of field, and complete
automation really let us stretch our technical skills, and
we were really happy with the results. This is probably a
first for an audience to experience this type of technology
in a public space where they get to become part of the
experience. Gauging the public reaction, this use of
technology and creative really appealed to all ages.
Cyril De Baecque, Managing Director at Spinifex Group
said: “We worked with TDC to create a 3D environment for
our artwork for perfect alignment using a jewellery box and

Mandylights Use W-DMX™ At Taronga Zoo For
Vivid Sidney
In line with Vivid Sydney, the Taronga Zoo, was lit up with a
trail of giant animal multimedia light sculptures.
The project was created by Ample Projects, with interactive
lighting, sound effects and moving parts. The sculptures
were presented with a great technologically advanced
setup – the tender was won by Mandylights who created a
colourful and atmospheric setting for the sculptures.
“The zoo is basically pitch black at night and in many areas
we really had to start from scratch,” commented Richard
Neville of Mandylights. “There were some areas where
we had complete free reign and others where we were
complementing the lanterns.”
Crucial to the lighting design were 130 x ShowPro Hex 18
LED PARs and 24 x ShowPro EX36 LED Floods, both of
which have an IP65 rating. The PARS provide a solid base
of colour for the entire site onto which Mandylights layered
more lighting.
Due to the sheer amount of foot traffic during the day, and
now the night, at the zoo, there were many places where
61
cable ramps could not be run across the ground. There are
also several vehicles used in the zoo, such as the elephant
transporter, that are higher than your average road vehicle
so running cables higher up was a problem too.
“This is where Wireless Solutions W-DMX was invaluable,”
stated Richard. “It just does a series of hops around the
park into really difficult to reach places.”
In total there were 4x BlackBox F-2 MKII with directional
antennas and 16x Micro R-512 receivers, all plug & play.
The Wireless system controlled most of the LED Pars, wash
fixtures, moving-lights and dimmers around the park.
“This project would not have been achievable without
W-DMX™ from Wireless Solution”, concluded Richard.
Wireless Solution is distributed and supported in Australia
by Show Technology.

SOUTH KOREA
Seoul World DJ Festival Grows With
Nexo Systems
Way Audio appointed for the 10th year in a row to support the festival
I
n Seoul, NEXO STM line arrays were deployed for
a record-breaking event for SWDF. Now one of the
biggest outdoor music festivals in Asia, this was also
the tenth show anniversary for sound rental provider Way
Audio, which has built a strong relationship between NEXO
and this spectacular EDM party.
The Seoul World DJ Festival (SWDF), which kicks off
Korea’s music event calendar, has been growing in strength
every year, since its first edition in 2007. Today, it attracts
some of the best EDM DJs in the world, and transforms the
62
town of Chuncheon and its Song-Am Sports Complex. This
year’s bill included Blasterjaxx, Tomswon, Julian Jordan and
KSHMR.
In 2016, an important liaison was made with influential
EDM producers Q Dance from Holland (Qlimax, Defqon,
Tomorrowland) who collaborated on this year’s festival.
Q Dance brought its hallmarks of dynamic staging, pyro
and impressive sound/lighting to the stadium, as well
as two well-known DJs from its stable, Atmozfear and
Noisecontroller.

Leading sound rental company Way Audio handles the PA
requirement for the World DJ Festival, the only production
supplier to keep its contract for the full ten years. As the
event has grown, so too have the PA designs. Way Audio
was an early pioneer of NEXO’s STM modular line array
systems, which have proved ideal for the EDM material and
stadium location of the SWDF.
This year, Way Audio implemented one of the largest STM
system configurations, using arrays of 21 x STM M46 main
plus B112 bass cabinets, delivering high SPL coverage over
the wide audience area. 21 x STM S118 subs, ground-
stacked on each side, were boosted by another 12 x CD18
subs in front of the centre stage, to provide “a goose
bumps performance”, according to James Lee of A-Works,
the NEXO distributor and support centre in Korea.
The on-stage monitoring is all important for the star DJs
at the SWDF, and the system of choice is ground-stacks
63
of STM, each built with 3 x STM M28 compact modules on
top of a S118 sub. Often informally referred to as “Texas
headphones”, these ground-stacks are supplemented by
NEXO PS15s. The entire PA system is powered by NEXO’s
Universal Amp Racks (11 x NUARs), each containing two
NXAMP4x4 amplifiers.
For James Lee, the best victory of the show was in the
verdict of the Q Dance team, currently on a world tour and
using NEXO STM for the first time. “The Q Dance team
usually get the system they ask for on their rider, and were
a bit suspicious when they saw NEXO STM for the first
time. But the show was such a success, they gave it the
thumbs-up!” The crowd certainly approved - according to
James, hardly anyone left the sound field for 3 hours, not
even for a toilet-break!

The Music Run 2016
SINGAPORE
Stagemaker SR10 Double Brake Hoist System Helps Ease Setting-Up of Truss System For Stage
O
ne of the most anticipated runs in Singapore, The
Music Run combines music and sports in one fun
event. Held in April and organized by AIA, the event
drew wide attention from music and sport enthusiasts
around Singapore. The Music Run was designed to
encourage participants to live a healthy life with the help of
music as a source of motivation. Furthermore, organizers
engaged with the participants by giving them the privilege
to vote for the songs that will be played at the event.
Known as a music sport event, the organizers placed
emphasis on the stage, sound and lighting equipment.
Singapore’s Titans Music Productions (TMP) took the
responsibility of providing the best equipment for the
event. TMP, a company that has been in the professional
AV industry since 1993 has been involved in providing their
services to a wide variety of clients in Singapore.
With multiple checkpoints throughout the run, participants
were exposed to different music genres in each segment of
the 5km run. The main attraction at the finish line was the
main stage. One of TMP's biggest task during installation
of the main stage was the hoisting of the truss system. In
order to hoist up the truss that carries a good amount of
line array speakers and lighting fixtures, TMP used a total
of at least 10 units of 1 Ton Chain Hoist Stagemaker
SR10 Double Brake to hoist up their truss system.
“It was definitely a challenging moment during our setup.
We needed a hoist system that was capable of hoisting up
that amount of weight. The 1 Ton Chain Hoist Stagemaker
64
SR10 was definitely the right choice in hoisting up our
truss,” mentioned Taufiq, TMP’s owner. “The hoist looks
hardy as well as sexy with its retractable handle bars and
rubberised corners. Definitely an eye candy from a far. You
would be able to recognise it from a distance. I believe
it is one of the quietest hoist around as it did not create
much noise as it was lifting the truss systems. The working
of it was smooth and clean, something I could rely on.
Sometimes it’s even worrying because you may not even
realise that the hoist is actually working,” continued Taufiq.
Aside from the hoist system, L-Acoustic professional
speakers were used in The Music Run 2016. 16 units of
L-Acoustic Kudos, 10 units of L-Acoustic SB28 Sub
Bass, 4 units of L-Acoustic Arcs Full Range speaker
were used as Front Fill and 8 units of L-Acoustic MTDs
Full Range speakers were used as monitors at the main
stage and key areas. These speakers were able to cover
the key areas of the event bringing hype to the participants
during their run. As for the lighting fixtures that evening,
TMP used 36 units of Clair Lighting M280 moving
head, 12 units of Clay Paky Alpha Wash 700, 12
units of Clay Paky Alpha Beam 700 moving head as
the main lighting product to light up the event.
Overall the event was a significant success for TMP and AIA
as the turn up rate was great and they received positive
feedbacks.
