SunInfonet recently completed a highly successful series of Allen & Heath training workshops for sound engineers in Mumbai, Bengaluru and GOA.

The training sessions were led by Chris, Allen & Heath’s Technical Marketing Manager and were attended by renowned Sound Engineers (including Ramchandra Jamsandekar and Prashant Rane), Students of Audio Engineering College (CMR),and sound engineers from production houses, rental companies, churches and educational facilities.

With over 37 years as a sound engineer, Chris Pyne delivered a comprehensive training session covering sound reinforcement basics through to digital mixing concepts. Comprehensive training was also given on Allen & Heath’s new 96kHz SQ mixers.

“The training was perfect for sound engineers who were new to Allen & Heath consoles or had just shifted from analogue to digital or planning to shift in near future. The SQ is the best sounding console in the price range. 96 kHz sampling, 48-channels and great FX makes it even more appealing, it has set the bar really high for the fellow manufacturers.” Rohit Reddy, Product Specialist and Sound Engineer from Sun Infonet commented.

Sound Engineer, participant and owner of Mumbai based Rental Company Mr. Prashant Rane says, “It was a really fantastic experience. Chris shared his great knowledge and experience with us all.”

He added: “SQ is sure to be a success in India. We already have SQ-6 and DX 168 in our inventory, alongside our existing dLive systems.”

Sun Infonet is already planning further events in Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai. Neeraj Chandra, Director of Sun Infonet, commented, “Conducting workshops with the help of Chris Pyne was definitely beneficial and really helped upcoming and existing sound professionals to learn new ideas and techniques. After attending this training, everyone said they were confident to operate Allen & Heath mixers, especially those who have just shifted from analogue to digital consoles.”

RoseateHouse a part of the nouveau hospitality chain – Roseate Hotels & Resorts under Bird Group is a contemporary narrative creating a new age revolution in the hospitality space. It is a progressive yet relaxed urban hotel that brings a new flavour to the city. The hotel tells a story that knits through every room and floor. With cutting edge facilities and state of the art technology,the Roseate House offers an international fragrance.Situated in the Hospitality District of Aerocity, the hotel is within a convenient 15 minutes’ drive from the airport with easy access to corporate hubs and entertainment centres in Delhi and Gurgaon.

Spread over a 1.6-acres, the hotel is designed to capture the imagination of cosmopolitan travellers and globe trotters with a distinct taste and style. One such inspirational feature is the Japanese roof top Lounge Tara.

Nestled at the pool level is Tara, an open roof top Japanese lounge and a perfect setting under the stars to unwind with your friends and folks. With picturesque views to flight landings and take-offs from the adjacent Indira Gandhi International Airport, it presents a stimulating environment to help guests unwind and rejuvenate.A recent refurbishment of sound reinforcement at the venue rendered it anew.

Open for dinners from 6 pm till 11 pm one can’t miss this gorgeous outlet with scrumptious food and surreal settings.

“We had an old sound system running for some time now, but realised that it was getting worn out and not giving the kind of experience that our discerning guests expect,” exclaims Munish J Pande, Manager- Hospitality IT at Roseate House. “We therefore wanted to refurbish the full sound reinforcement system with something new that would bring about a refreshing change,” he said. “For this we were clear in mind that we had an expert to do the needful - Room Tone Consultancy.”

According to Munish, Room Tone Consultancy, headed by Director Samir Kriplani has been associated with the Bird Group and Roseate House for some time now in terms of all design, décor and AV systems installations. Samir, who is a sound engineer by profession, is passionate about systems that sound natural and loves to experiment with the best in trade.

Having known and worked with Sun Infonet earlier, Sameer invited the Delhi-based audio distributor to present a system that would fit the requirement. The system had to be robust and weather resistant – owing to its outdoor installation proposal that would be prone to seasonal harsh climate of Delhi and also aesthetic in appeal to gel well with the décor of the outlet.

Team Sun Infonet, led by Neeraj Chandra, Director presented the Quest Audio configuration comprising MX801 weather-proof speakers and amp.  Samir tested the systems, evaluated, before being convinced about the systems.

Team Room Tone, installed seven Quest Audio MX 801 weather-proof speakers powered by an amp. The locations for fixing the speakers were carefully chosen so that they do not tamper the venue décor yet get the audio installed with desired specs.

Though there were not many reverberation concerns as the space is open on the sixth floor, along with a swimming pool on one side, it did require a fair degree of attention.

Says Neeraj Chandra of Sun Infonet: “Having done many similar jobs before, it wasn’t a very challenging job for us; but the high-profile brand identity of the client, and the level of their expectation made it prestigious.”

“It was thumbs up for all of us,” says Munish. “I being the bridge between the management and the solution provider, worked with the installation team to ensure that they were properly calibrated. It came out perfectly fine.”

For Neeraj and team Sun Infonet, it was yet another success story. “While by size it may be small, but making the client happy is a big thing,” says Neeraj. “We did that; that was very satisfying.”

In association with Reynold’s Inc. recently Sun Infonet conducted a two-day master-class focusing on the Allen & Heath dLive digital mixers in Chennai to offer training on installation, operation and troubleshooting. Rohit Reddy, Product Manager led the sessions for the sound professionals, sound engineers and rental company representatives in attendance.

‘The masterclass has definitely fine-tuned the technical skills of the participants and kept them up-to-speed with the evolving technology,’ commented M Venugopal,branch manager at Reynold’s Inc. Chennai ‘By conducting such workshops,participants keep themselves updated with the latest features of Allen &Heath mixers and also gain hands-on knowledge and experience.’

The dLive S7000 was demonstrated in combination with a DM64 MixRack to highlight the features and network ability of the console using a Dante network card. Sun Infonet and Reynold~s are set to conduct similar events in the future. ‘I was surprised to see the interest shown by participants as they wanted to know more and more about dLive,’ said Mr Reddy.

September 2017, Sun Infonet initiated an aggressive campaign for promoting its latest brand acquisition Audio Focus.The company recently made a big splash in the audio industry with the actual launch of the products at a specially devised programme in Bengaluru which was followed by an equally energetic programme in the music-rich city of Panaji in Goa.

Bengaluru was chosen to be the launch pad for the ambitious programme and was organized in association with South India partner Reynold’s Inc. at the plush White Petals Hall on the sprawling premises of Palace Grounds.

The system set-up comprised two sets of seven each ARES 8 line arrays hung from a vertical truss on either side of a central stack comprising eight MT218 MKII subwoofers,and topped by a pair of FR-X 12 enclosures.

The ARES 8 line arrays, said to bring all those benefits of real line arrays complying to the WST (wave front sculpture technology) criteria, are suitable for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications from small scale concerts to large theatrical performances (200-5000 audiences) where sound quality is crucial. The MTSub218MKII,and FR-X 12S come with their own advantages.

Audio Focus’Asia Business Director Nicolas Kirsch – who was on site to monitor the system specs and performance parameters – explained the set-up nuances while interacting with the programme participants on the ‘experience’ they were through.

 “We wanted to test it, as a first measure, in front of our target buyers-which is why we chose this outdoor venue,” reasons Reynold’s Inc. Managing Director Felix Remedios on the choice of the location. “The systems are powerful, and more reasonably priced; we are glad we have a brand now, equal to systems of larger size and stacks, but low on price.”

“Audio Focus is a brand renowned for premium performance,” explains Neeraj Chandra, Director of Sun Infonet, who was on site to ensure the first splash made the right impact.

Visibly glad with the enthusiasm shown from the musical buffs around, the Sun Infonet Director said they planned for a series of similar programmes across the country to aggressively promote the brand.

‘Audio Focus’ on Goa: In Goa, the programme was organized in association with local channel partner Just Audio in a scenic, luxury resort near Porvorim,to a gathering of potential musical channel partners.

“It comprised all those musical buffs who make and matter to musical entertainment not only Goa, and Western Ghats, but beyond,” ratifies Rohit Reddy, Manager-Projects and Applications Engineer at Sun Infonet.
