Ltd., the authorized distributor of both RCF and DiGiCo provided the technical support for the show.
Aside from the speakers, USL’s Director Amitav Biswas confirmed that the RCF TTL -55 purchase was driven by the relationship the company has traditionally enjoyed with the Italian manufacturer and its India distributor Hi-Tech Audio Systems. Hi-Tech Audio installed 10 pieces of the three-way TTL 55-A (total 20 nos.) active line source on each side in conjunction with 10 pieces of TTS 56-A subs.
“RCF TTL 55-A is designed to be easily scalable for few modules for medium and small venues to full size arrays for very large open air spaces.
