In a move that is said to reflect its ambitions to dominate both domestic and international live production markets, one of India’s most highly respected technical service providers has unveiled a bold new investment in next-generation sound technology while simultaneously announcing a significant rebranding of the company.
Previously known as Phoenix Networks, the Bhopal-based company has officially transitioned to Phoenix Networks Global Pvt Ltd, reflecting its growing footprint outside India. The tech provider has also invested in two significant additions to its equipment inventory: a comprehensive new Martin Audio WPC line-array system, and the brand new Sennheiser Spectera wireless system – deployed at Glastonbury Festival for the first time in June.
“The transformation to Phoenix Networks Global Pvt. Ltd. reflects more than a name change – it reflects our growing global footprint, fuelled by the overwhelming success of our services for the Kathmandu Music Festival,” said Animesh Mishra, founder director. “We’ve always believed in setting new benchmarks, and this rebranding aligns with our vision of offering our signature service excellence on a global platform.”
Founded in 2011 with a vision to transform ordinary gatherings into extraordinary experiences, Phoenix has since executed over 5,000 events, including more than 500 mega-scale productions, spanning concerts, cultural festivals, political rallies, and corporate spectacles. The company’s track record includes technically demanding events such as Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour in Mumbai, the heritage-rich Tansen Samaroh, and large-scale productions like the Me’Gong Festival.
At the heart of the new loudspeaker acquisition is Martin Audio’s Wavefront Precision Compact (WPC) line array system. Phoenix has added 24 units of the WPC – one of the brand’s most advanced 3-way bi-amp, dual 10in line array modules featuring Scalable Resolution technology. The system is supported by 12 units of the SXH218 hybrid horn/reflex subwoofers, 6 units of the LE200 coaxial stage monitors, and 10 units of the iK42 four-channel class-D power amplifiers, forming a powerfully cohesive, high-performance solution for small-to-mid scale events.
“The WPC’s Scalable Resolution system is a game-changer,” added Animesh. “It offers us unmatched flexibility and precise control over system coverage. Whether we’re setting up in a tightly packed ballroom or an open festival ground, we can optimise the entire array to deliver consistent SPL, clarity and tonal balance across the venue – something that’s increasingly important as client expectations evolve.
“Spectera represents a dramatic leap in wireless reliability and spectral efficiency! The system is built for demanding professional environments, offering wideband tuneability, low-intermodulation RF performance, and robust encryption standards; while affording unparalleled flexibility that allows seamless co-existence with other legacy wireless infrastructure – a major plus for touring or hybrid system integration.”
