Friends of Shiva Soars Ahead With An Impressive Inventory Upgrade From Meyer Sound And DiGiCo




Team Friends of Shiva pose with their latest inventory from Meyer Sound and DiGiCo - the rental service company invested in PANTHER line array system and 2100-LFC Low-Frequency Control Element from Meyer Sound and Quantum 338 system with SD-Rack and S31 Digital Mixing Console from DiGiCo


Friends Of Shiva Expands Inventory With Meyer Sound

One of India's most prominent event equipment rental service providers, Friends Of Shiva, made a significant enhancement to its FOH loudspeaker inventory with the acquisition of a brand-new comprehensive PANTHER Line Array System from Meyer Sound, complete with 2100-LFC Low-Frequency Control Element. This makes Friends Of Shiva the owners of the first PANTHER line array system in Eastern India.

Friends of Shiva reached out to Sun Infonet to add the newly launched PANTHER and 2100-LFC into their inventory. Utilizing this system, the company's team recently executed their first show, the Coca-Cola Festival 2023 Season 2, which was held in Kolkata in November. The festival was powered by a system that utilized 24 units of PANTHER loudspeakers, 16 units of 2100-LFC control elements, and 2 units of Galileo GALAXY 816 Network Platforms.

"The Meyer Sound PANTHER, with its remarkable output exceeding 150 dB in a compact cabinet, proved to be the ideal selection for incorporating a large-format line array. The system delivers unparalleled linearity and headroom," remarked Kyle Mukherjee, Director, Friends of Shiva. "Choosing the Meyer Sound System, specifically the combination of PANTHER and 2100-LFC, was ideal for the show. The system sounded incredible comfortably driving at 115 dB C at the console, and it sounded clear and bright even from a distance of 300 feet at the back of the venue."

Friends of Shiva Invests In DiGiCo Equipment:

Friends of Shiva also expanded its digital mixing capabilities with the addition of the DiGiCo Quantum 338 system coupled with the SD-Rack, along with a single unit of the S31 digital mixing console, making the Kolkata-based rental company the owner of the first DiGiCo Quantum 338 system in the region.

Kyle explains that the decision to acquire the Quantum 338 system was fuelled by the need to meet the evolving demands such events. He elaborates, "We'd noted that a majority of all top touring artists and engineers citing the Quantum 338 as their preferred desk to work with. To be honest, the DiGiCo Quantum 338 digital mixing console is, in fact, a true technical powerhouse - with its lavish 128 input channels, 64 busses, and a 24x24 matrix, all operating at a pristine 96kHz sample rate. When you throw the SD-Rack into the mix, what you have is a comprehensive system that offers ultra-low latency, high-channel-count audio transmission, and seamless integration with diverse stage configurations with the capacity to accommodate a wide range of audio sources - all while assuring uninterrupted reliability."

On the other hand, the decision to invest in the S31 mixing console was a strategic move, states Kyle, "The S31 offers DiGiCo's flagship audio quality, power and flexibility - all in a compact frame - which makes it the perfect main mix solution for small to mid-size event; whereas its capacity to work seamlessly with all other DiGiCo consoles makes it extremely useful as a 'slave-desk' for larger-scale shows."

Kyle asserts that the acquisitions of the digital consoles from DiGiCo and the Meyer Sound PANTHER line array system has expanded the world of possibilities for Friends Of Shiva. "What excites me most about the addition of our DiGiCo consoles and the Meyer Sound PANTHER system is how it has positively influenced our ability to seamlessly adapt to diverse venues and event scales, which enables us to efficiently cater to the most intricate and complex production demands with great ease!" Kyle concludes optimistically.
