BENGALURU, India — V&P Sound of India supported Lamb of God’s second appearance in the country with lighting and also a sound system centered on JBL VerTec line arrays from Harman. The heavy metal band performed at Clarks Exotica Resort, and the event, part of the Nokia Alive series promoted by Overture India, drew a crowd of more than 7,000 fans.
The audio system included 20 JBL VT4889 full-size line arrays and 16 VT4883 compact arrayable subwoofers for the center and mosh pit fills. Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers powered the system, and to fine-tune the system, V&P used V5 DSP presets.
“We love the V5 presets and their performance — they offer a true sound with great magnitude,” said Vishnu P., owner of V&P Sound. “The VT4889 has excellent long-throw capabilities and V5 offers significant improvements in horizontal coverage in the high-frequency and low-mid ranges,” he added. “We also like the changes that have been made to the low frequencies with V5.”
Vishnu P. continued, “We are now using new V5 DSP presets and did not have to use much EQ on the system. V5 has undoubtedly given new life to our existing VerTec system. We would like to congratulate Paul Bauman and his team for this fantastic product.”
“With sophisticated three-stage limiting, including long-term thermal protection allowing for higher peak and RMS thresholds, the power translated into increased SPL output and rock-solid limiting. This makes the V5 presets more impactful, adding pristine clarity to the sound output” added Mallesh T., mix engineer for V&P Sound.
To provide the best microphone solutions for the stage, AKG microphones were deployed, including the AKG Drum SET II and AKG Rhythm Pack, as well as D40’s for the two separate drum kits. A portion of the concert’s acts were mixed with the Soundcraft Vi6 console at FOH.
