KG Movie supplied a lineup of 24 units of the d&b Audiotechnik KSL line array speakers for the recent concert by Norwegian DJ and record producer Alan Walker the Sunburn Arena stage, at the Shillong International Centre for Performing Arts & Culture, in Mawkasiang, India.
Walker was able to enthral a crowd of over 10,000 attendee in one of 10 stops across India as part of his WalkerWorld global tour, in September. KG Movie, one of eastern India’s most respected technical solutions providers, was tasked with putting together the audio tech for Walker’s concert.
The KSL line array speakers were deployed as the stereo FOH hangs that adorned the stage. Complementing the KSL line array system, 20 units of the powerful SL-GSub subwoofers were strategically placed at the front of the stage, delivering powerful low-end frequencies that resonated throughout the venue.
To ensure optimal sound for the audience located at the flanks of the stage, KG Movie supplemented the main KSL system with d&b Audiotechnik V Series line array modules which were strategically deployed as the outfill reinforcement.
Joyjeet Pandey, the system engineer for the event, said: “Deploying the KSL as the main house system and the V series as the fill reinforcement allowed us to emphatically ensure that even those audience members seated at the venue’s extreme sides received the same clarity and consistency in sound as those in the central audience area. By leveraging the voicing consistency of the KSL and V Series systems, our team successfully achieved balanced audio coverage across all sections of the arena.”
KG Movie extended the audio experience to the artists on stage as the V Series modules paired with compact yet powerful B6 subwoofers as the main monitoring solution. And to assure precise control over every sonic detail, team KG Movie provided the sound engineering team with DiGiCo’s SD10 digital mixing console at the FOH position, complete with external expansion racks.
The visual design also contributed to the concert’s immersive atmosphere. KG Movie employed an extensive array of Absen’s 3.9mm outdoor LED video walls, covering over 2000sqft across the stage. This screen setup created a dynamic visual backdrop that complemented the music.
The lighting design featured India’s prominent lighting brand, LBT. The lighting setup included 36 units of HULK BSW units, 24 units of Moving PYXIS Atomic Hybrid Strobes, 24 units of LED moving heads, 24 units of Orbiter LED washes, 70 units of Striker and ZoomBlade LED battens, and multiple units of Striker and Super Striker LED PARs. KG Movie relied on the grandMA 3 full-size lighting console from MA Lighting. As an added measure of security, a grandMA 2 full-size console served as a backup to ensure uninterrupted control.
Manoj Singh, director and CEO of KG Movie, said: “The concert’s electric energy and meticulous attention to detail were no accident, as each decision in the planning and execution stages contributed to an experience that went beyond a typical live performance. Every aspect of the event was designed to create an unforgettable experience – and words cannot describe how proud we are to have played an integral part of this fabulous concert experience.”
