“For over 20 years, we at KG Movie have strived to make every event an unforgettable one by delivering unique and special experiences to our clients and their audiences. We prioritize quality, safety, and our customers’ peace of mind; which is why we’ve armed ourselves with a staff of experienced and trained professionals, along with a world-class inventory of high-performance products and systems from globally reputed brands; so that we can provide tailored solutions to fit the needs of every unique event. This is one of the key reasons why we’ve had to opportunity to support some of Eastern India’s largest music concerts and festivals, alongside some of the most elite corporate events and high-profile private functions that have taken place in this region. Our clients rely on us to deliver exceptional sound quality and performance, and our recent acquisitions of world-class audio technologies from globally reputed brands like d&b Audiotechnik, DiGiCo, and DAS Audio will help us to exceed every expectation with absolute ease!” commented Manoj Singh, Director and CEO of KG Movie.

With a view to ‘meet and exceed’ the ever-evolving demands of the vibrant and burgeoning live event industry in Eastern India, the Kolkata-based ace event equipment rental service provider has recently expanded its already impressive lineup of live sound technologies with a massive round of investment that definitively enhances its loudspeaker and digital mixing capabilities.

And most notable among the acquisitions is the company’s decision to enhance its existing loudspeaker inventory from globally reputed manufacturers d&b Audiotechnik with the addition of a brand-new comprehensive KSL Series line array system; as Manoj revealed that one of the main reasons that positively influenced the purchase decision was KG Movie’s exponential business growth and the company’s desire to stay ahead of the rising demand for top-tier audio solutions – particularly within music concert and festival space.

Alongside, Manoj explained that upgrading to the KSL system was but natural, as the company already owned a sizeable inventory of the V-Series and T-Series line array systems along with B-Series subwoofers – all of which had become an integral part of the company’s daily business operations. He elaborated on this, stating “Having been loyal users of d&b Audiotechnik systems for close to a decade now, we’ve witnessed firsthand the reliability and sonic excellence that the brand consistently delivers. So honestly, transitioning to the KSL series felt like a natural progression for us, given the trust we’ve built in their products over the years. The KSL maintains the same high-quality sonic output that d&b is renowned for, thereby ensuring a seamless integration into our existing inventory. Plus, our team’s familiarity with d&b workflows further streamlined the transition process, making it a straightforward upgrade for us. What’s even better is the fact that this acquisition has made KG Movie the only company in all of Eastern India to boast an inventory of over 100 boxes of d&b Audiotechnik loudspeakers – and that’s quite a distinction to have!”

In total, KG Movie have added over 32 units of the flagship KSL line array modules, along with 16 units of the SL-GSUB cardioid subwoofers – with the company’s acquisition of the new system being facilitated by Ansata – the official distribution partner for d&b Audiotechnik in India. And apart from being an excellent strategic business investment, however, Manoj explained that the KSL system also empowers KG Movie with enhanced technological dexterity, versatility and reliability to ensure consistent and high-quality soundscapes for events and venues of all scales and size.
Manoj details some of the key highlights of the system as he noted, “From the technological point of view, for me personally what set the KSL apart from the competition is the system’s ability to deliver consistent and pristine quality audio output with unbridled power. The KSL’s remarkable constant directivity pattern arms us with the capacity to ensure a rich, consistent and immersive soundscapes even at the most demanding venues. And the level of control and precision that the system provides is so amazing, that we can always rest assure that sound levels wouldn’t bleed out of the venue.

More importantly, the cardioid nature of the KSL means that all the sound energy can be focused precisely towards the audience while ensuring there’s little to no noise emission or unwanted sound-spillage. This means that the stage environment remains amazingly quiet; which is extremely vital when you’re working with the kind of renowned world-class artists and musicians that we do. Mind you, all of the aforementioned capabilities are something that extremely few systems are capable of! But the KSL delivers with complete ease! And when paired with the SL-GSUB, the result derived from the overall system is nothing short of breathtaking. These subwoofers pack an incredibly powerful punch while offering an unprecedented level of ease in terms of logistics and setup thanks to its surprisingly compact footprint. And to round it all off, d&b Audiotechnik’s time-tested amplification allows us to always rest assured about quality and reliability.”

As part of their latest round of investment, KG Movie has also added the EVENT series line array system from internationally reputed manufacturer DAS Audio through the acquisition of 24 units of the EVENT 212A powered 3-way line array modules and 12 units of the EVENT 218A powered dual 18” bass reflex subwoofers – with the purchase of this system being facilitated by Stagemix Technologies LLP, the official distribution partners of DAS Audio products in India.

Manoj poignantly provides an insight into this particular investment as he explained, “We put a lot of thought into this decision, and quite honestly, we’re thrilled to have invested in the such a great piece of technology from DAS Audio. As a comprehensive line array system, the EVENT 212A and EVENT 218A provide exceptional sound, steadfast reliability, unparalleled user-friendliness and value beyond comparison across the board.

The self-amplified nature of the DAS Audio EVENT system ensures efficient setup and superior sound quality, which is crucial for us, especially when working on private events where time is often limited. The ability to quickly set up and efficiently align and tune the system is a significant advantage; as it allows us to offer artists and performers more time for rehearsals and sound checks, and eventually deliver high-quality audio consistently. And perfectly complementing the EVENT 212A tops are the EVENT 218A subwoofers which provide deep, punchy bass that enhances the overall audio experience, ensuring that our clients and their guests ‘feel’ every bit of their event’s excitement and energy!”

And finally, to bring its newly enhanced loudspeaker inventory to life, KG Movie has also expanded on its arsenal of high-performance world-class mixing consoles with the acquisition of the current industry favourite – DiGiCo Quantum 338 digital mixing console, complete with the SD Rack. The entire purchase process of the DiGiCo Quantum 338 system was facilitated by Delhi-based Hi-Tech AVL who are the official distribution partners for DiGiCo in India.

Throwing light on the various factors that influenced the purchase of the DiGiCo Quantum 338 digital mixing console, Manoj remarked, “The DiGiCo Quantum 338 is a game-changer for us. Its advanced processing capabilities and user-friendly interface allow our engineers to deliver flawless mixes with ease. Artist engineers today look for an expanded set of features and capabilities that can make their workflows easier and more efficient, and the Quantum 338 meets these expectations perfectly. The console’s intuitive interface, extensive input and output options, along with its powerful FPGA processing, enable us to handle even the most demanding audio setups. And added features like True Solo, Spice Rack plugin, and of course, the Mustard and Nodal processing options are all great features to have at one’s disposal.

More importantly, since the Quantum 338 supports DMI Cards and therefore Dante, it would enable our crew to provide a network enabled solution for intricately complex events and all types of major productions – from tours to festivals to high-end corporate events – with complete control made possible through the console and Dante-enabled Racks. Speaking of which, the SD Rack only adds to the Quantum 338’s versatility by not only enhancing I/O capabilities but also assuring high-quality audio performance for any event, no matter the size or complexity. All-in-all, the Quantum 338’s ability to deliver crystal-clear sound and its robust build quality make it an invaluable addition to our equipment lineup; and we’re extremely pleased with this acquisition”
