Bose Demos ShowMatch in Mumbai

Bose Professional which began global demonstration events of its new ShowMatch DeltaQ Array in September, hosted its first demo in India in Mumbai on 21st October 2016 at the Hotel Holiday Inn, Andheri.

Fuat Koro, Director, Global Sales and Marketing at Bose Professional, set the scene by calling ShowMatch DeltaQ “a category defining product line”.

A senior engineer from Bose took to the stage to provide comprehensive overview of the versatility and flexibility of the array. “Each module features field changeable waveguides which provide the flexibility to create 8 unique horizontal and vertical coverage patterns for the creation of DeltaQ arrays. ShowMatch has the flexibility to be configured as a J array or as a Constant Curvature array or as a Delta Q array. No other product offers the flexibility of all three array configurations from one product type,” he said.

The basic demo system set-up on stage consisted of two arrays of ShowMatch DeltaQ on each side of the stage. Besides vocal performances, a track featuring both male and female vocal and accompanied by percussion, bass, keys were played using the main arrays only. This allowed listners to experience the full range of performance of just the arrays. Later there was another demo wherein an EDM track was played using arrays and subs to fully demonstrate the transient response and output of the ShowMatch system.

Later on, a five-member all-male band took to the stage to perform. Guests were then invited to walk around the demonstration area, to get the feel of the system from every corner of the room while ace FOH - Sameer Kriplani took to the console.

The product which is aimed at both the installation and rental markets, attracted a lot of interest and many big names from the Indian pro audio industry such as Roger Drego, Sunny Sarid, Milind Roarane, Dinesh Mandot, Davinder Wadhwa and Arun Kalra were seen absorbing the demo in Mumbai.

The range will be rolled out globally in November, which is also the planned release date for the latest version (6.9) of Bose’s Modeler software. In India the product will be available in December.
