Chetan, one of Chowdiah Memorial Hall's engineers praises the Yamaha Rivage PM3 for its adaptability
and performance
Chowdiah Memorial Hall is a cultural centre located in Malleswaram, Bangalore. The hall is
prestigious cultural centre that has been a hub for artistic expression and entertainment for
decades. This iconic auditorium, shaped like a gigantic seven-stringed violin, is a testament to the
city's rich cultural heritage. Built as a tribute to the legendary violinist Tirumakudalu
Chowdiah,
the hall is administered by the Academy of Music, an independent registered body founded in 1961.
Chowdiah Memorial Hall hosts a wide range of events, from classical concerts to theatre productions,
dance performances, and fashion shows. The hall's unique design and excellent acoustics make it an
ideal venue for both performers and audiences. Over the years, the hall has played host to numerous
renowned artists and has been a platform for many budding talents.
Recently, the hall's management decided to upgrade its sound system to provide an even better
experience for its audiences. After careful consideration and consultation with sound engineers and
experts, they decided to invest in the cutting-edge Yamaha Rivage PM3 Mixing Console.
The Yamaha Rivage PM3 has exceeded their expectations, providing exceptional sound quality,
flexibility, and ease of use. The console's compact design, with 36 faders, fits perfectly in the
hall's sound control room, which has limited space. The preamps are of high quality, and the mix
engine delivers impressive depth and punch.
One of the key features that impressed the hall's management is the console's ability to integrate
seamlessly with third-party plugins, such as Eventide and Bricasti. This has enabled them to enhance
their sound capabilities without the need for external outboards.
The Yamaha Rivage PM3's user interface is highly intuitive, making it easy for engineers to adapt,
regardless of their background or experience. The iPad extension software, which allows for the
connection of two iPads, has simplified their workflow and enhanced their overall sound experience.
The hall's management is delighted with their decision to invest in the Yamaha Rivage PM3 Mixing
Console. The console's exceptional performance, flexibility, and ease of use have elevated the sound
experience for their audiences.
