A recent outdoor concert at Delhi Technological University (DTU) provided a showcase of Sufi fusion music, headed by leading exponent Bismil ki Mehfil (Mohd Asif). To deliver the emotion and energy of the performances, ShowTech fielded a Martin Audio WPL line array PA, comprising eight WPL per side with a centre fill of eightBismil ki Mehfil enclosures. Additionally, 12 SXH218 subwoofers in a front-firing configuration, and a further eight SX218 in a reverse cardioid set-up serves as centre fill.
Having studied since the age of five under maestros from the Moradabad and Delhi gharanas, Bismil ki Mehfil captivated 7,000-8,000 audience with songs including his hit single Tere Bina and a cover of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Kali Kali Zulfon Ke Phande.
The system was powered by Martin Audio iKon iK42 DSP amplifiers, delivering 20kW of class-D power. The system’s Hard Avoid feature available in the accompanying Display software, prevented low-frequency spill on the stage.
With technical support from Martin Audio territory distributor VMT Enterprise, ShowTech’s engineers, supervised the system. The event also showcased the capabilities of Martin Audio’s technology and the partnership between VMT and ShowTech. ‘The audio system truly made the difference for Bismil ki Mehfil,’ says ShowTech System Engineer, Tarvinder Singh. ‘The clarity, depth and precision it provided brought his powerful vocals and the richness of Sufi music to life, and the audience was fully engaged throughout.’
‘Working on the sound system for this event was an absolute pleasure,’ adds VMT Pre-Design & Sales Engineer, Dharam Koli. ‘ The set-up ensured crystal clear sound, which played a key role in creating a deeply engaging atmosphere. Seeing the audience connect so profoundly with the performance was incredibly rewarding.
‘At VMT we pride ourselves on delivering solutions that exceed expectations, and this event was a testament to that commitment.’
