INDIA: Delhi’s Stellar Gymkhana Club has used an Allen & Heath GLD-80 digital mixer for its prestigious Jashan-e Diwali event. The exclusive members-only club hosted a glittering banquet, and the mixer – distributed by Allen & Heath’s regional distributor SunInfonet and supplied by local rental company Thukral Productions – managed entertainment provided by several renowned folk musicians.
‘The GLD-80 is a great audio experience at a simple price. The labelling is clear, the fader banks make sense, the control strip across the top is laid out well, and the surface is uncluttered. Also the presence of a Select button that opens its accompanied window in the touchscreen makes it very easy to handle,’ explained SunInfonet product specialist, Shailesh Awasthi. ‘The design team even placed the Copy/Paste function buttons right at the front of the mixer, so there’s no need to scroll through windows, you can just do it on the fly.’
Stellar Gymkhana is a multi-function venue containing several conference and banquet halls, sports facilities, restaurants, a spa, library, as well as accommodation.
‘The digital snake part of the system, achieved with either of the two Audio Rack stage boxes, handles the conversion from analogue stage sources to digital mix inputs and digital returns to analogue line outputs, and provide all the necessary connectivity in a single rackmount unit,’ Mr Awasthi added.
