Great Beer Meets Great Sound

Published on 11th Sep 2025

Just off the busy stretch near Bengaluru's Manyata Tech Park, Indian Craft Brewery (ICB) offers craft beer, gourmet food, live performances, and more. It's built for people to unwind and connect. So, when it came to sound, they weren't taking any chances.

The man behind ICB, Gopi, isn't new to this game. Having already launched popular spots like Iron Hill and Mr. Philly's, he knew exactly what he wanted. "It's not just about good beer or good food," he said. "It's about how people feel when they're here, and sound plays a huge role in that."

That's where Ansata and Waveguide made their appearance. Having experienced d&b audiotechnik's system before, Gopi reached out to Ansata, the exclusive distributor of d&b in India. Ansata teamed up with system integrator Waveguide, and together they crafted an audio setup that brought every corner of the space to life.

"We've worked on a lot of great venues," the Ansata team shared, "but this one had its own personality. It needed a system that could be energetic for live shows outside and still feel warm and clear inside where people are just having a meal or a quiet drink."

Outdoors is where the action happens. Weather-resistant Vi10P loudspeakers and B22 subwoofers were chosen for their punch and reliability. The result? A live performance setup that hits the sweet spot: loud enough to feel the music, but clean enough to enjoy it. Inside, things are a bit more intimate. High ceilings and reflective surfaces can easily get in the way of good sound, but that was quickly sorted with Yi10P loudspeakers and Vi-GSUB subwoofers. The setup keeps the sound even and clear, so you can hear the music without it ever interrupting a conversation. Up on the balcony Ansata brought in something special to keep the experience just right. Using Spottune's Omni Cord and Stream system, they created a clean, wireless audio setup that fills the space without getting in the way. It's the kind of sound you don't really notice, until you do. Smooth, even, and perfectly matched to the setting, it helps keep the atmosphere feeling connected, no matter where you are in the venue.

With d&b audiotechnik's trusted performance, Ansata's design experience, Waveguide's expert integration, and the addition of Spottune's flexible streaming solution, Indian Craft Brewery has become a space where sound, style, and soul come together, one perfectly poured pint at a time.
