Chopra’s Sound Sets a New Standard with India’s First TT+ Audio GTX System News by Elton - December 4, 2024December 4, 2024 “We’ve been fortunate to see continuous growth in our business, and we’re investing back into it. Our clients are constantly looking for that ‘wow’ factor, and by staying ahead of the curve with new technology, we can guarantee an unforgettable experience. This is one the key reasons why we invested into India’s first L Acoustics K3 system a while earlier. And now we’re proud to follow up with India’s first TT+ Audio GTX system!” comments Puneet Chopra, founder director of Chopra’s Sound – a tenured and respected name in Rajasthan’s live event technical scene. Renowned for its high-profile weddings and private functions, Chopra’s Sound has added to its arsenal a fleet of 12 units of the GTX12 three-way line array modules and 8 units of the GTS 29 flyable subwoofers — thereby solidifying its place at the top of the game. Puneet explains that he saw the GTX system as a perfect match for the company’s growing portfolio, as he elaborates, “Our clients expect nothing less than the best, and the GTX12’s power, precision and clarity lets us deliver just that. The unique loudspeaker design along with the advanced 4PATH waveguide delivers a 90° x 10° phase-coherent coverage with little to no distortion at all, thereby guaranteeing crystal-clear sound even in challenging spaces. Plus, its rugged, lightweight and relatively compact frame affords unparalleled ease in terms of logistics and rigging, which ultimately translates into greater efficiency while our team is out on-field. All these factors prove to be invaluable assets, especially when you’re working a busy event season.” Complementing the GTX12 modules are 8 units of the compact yet immensely powerful GTS 29 flyable subwoofers that pack a solid punch thanks to their advanced motor structure and 19-inch cone, which balances the quick response of 18-inch subs with the depth of 21-inch designs. Puneet praises the performance of the GTS 29 as he comments, “The GTS 29 subwoofers are the perfect companion to the GTX12 modules. They give us the flexibility to cover any venue, from grand ballrooms to sprawling outdoor setups, with powerful and precise low frequencies that don’t miss a beat.” In addition to the GTX system, Chopra’s Sound has expanded their inventory with top-tier audio and lighting technology. The company acquired a DiGiCo Quantum 338 digital mixing console, two SD10 digital consoles, and outboard expansion racks, offering unparalleled I/O flexibility. On the lighting front, Chopra’s Sound invested in the grandMA3 full-size and compact grandMA3 XT controllers from MA Lighting —both regarded as industry benchmarks. “The decision to go with DiGiCo and MA Lighting was a no-brainer, and these strategic investments were made with the view to stay ahead of the competition and to continue to meet the rising demand for top-notch audio solutions at elite events. The Quantum 338 and SD10 consoles give us the flexibility and sound quality we need, while the grandMA3 controllers allow us to deliver stunning lighting experiences that match the calibre of our audio. ” noted Puneet. Complementing the unique features and technical advantages of the Quantum 338 and the SD10 respective, he mentions that the Quantum 338’s Mustard processing channel strip and the Nodal Processing capabilities are what impressed him the most, whereas the SD10’s Stealth Core 2 engine turned out to be the key USP for him. He elaborates, “With the Quantum 338, the Mustard processing adds a whole new layer of warmth and detail to each channel, giving us the freedom to shape sound with incredible precision. Meanwhile, the Nodal Processing feature allows us to apply effects directly on monitor mixes without affecting the front-of-house mix, which is a game-changer for delivering personalized sound for our artists. On the other hand, the SD10’s Stealth Core 2 engine and its large number of Fader banks are incredibly powerful. The Stealth Core 2 engine boosts processing power, enabling us to handle larger, more complex shows with ease. Meanwhile, the multiple fader banks allow our engineers to access and manage channels quickly, even in high-pressure environments. It’s all about efficiency and reliability, and both – the Quantum 338 as well as the SD10 – deliver on both fronts.” Speaking about the grandMA3 controllers, Puneet notes that the multi-touch touchscreen interface and unlimited fixture control are what made the grandMA3 full-size truly stand out, while the XT’s compact design and impressive processing power left him definitively impressed. He explained, “With the grandMA3 full-size, the ability to manipulate multiple parameters with just a touch, combined with the capacity to control an unlimited number of fixtures, gives our team the flexibility to handle even the most complex lighting setups effortlessly. It’s perfect for the large-scale, high-profile events we specialize in, offering us the power to create truly immersive lighting experiences. Meanwhile with the XT – despite its smaller size, it still provides the same high-level performance as the full-size model, with the added benefit of being more portable for events where space and transport are critical. The enhanced processing power allows for seamless integration with larger lighting systems, making it an ideal companion for smaller, yet equally demanding events. It’s the perfect balance of power and portability. Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Share on Pinterest Share Share on LinkedIn Share Share on Digg Share
