DELHI, India — Yogesh Dhawan of Dhawan Electricals Pvt. Ltd. used a Soundcraft Si3 digital mixing console at FOH for Fete de la Musique, part of World Music Day with the Alliance Francaise de Delhi. The festival was presented through the 64-input Si3 and other Harman products including a dbx 4800 system controller, JBL VRX932LA, SRX728S and SRX712M loudspeakers, and Crown I-Tech IT4000 amplifiers.
The event featured three groups: Indian grunge band October, alternative band Poured on Ice; and Tarang, an eclectic musical ensemble using instruments ranging from the veena, sitar, mridangam, tabla, manjira and flute, drums, octopad, saxophone, piano and bass guitar.
“I used about 32 channels on the board with all its four Lexicons and a lot of compressors,” said Dhawan. “The Si3’s GEQ was used for all the AUXs and main PA. The GEQ on the Si3 has surpassed all other EQs and I will personally suggest that there is no need to use any outboard graphic EQs,” Dhawan added. “The amount of headroom provided by the GEQ is excellent and the best part that I noticed after using the board is that unlike any other external GEQ there is no loss in quality of sound even after a number of frequencies have been cut to avoid feedback.”
