DS Pro purchases first STM line-array in India
Published: ASIA
INDIA: Nexo’s flagship STM line-array has arrived in India, with rental company DS Pro becoming the first in the country to purchase one. The sizeable 108-cabinet system, comprising of 36 M46 Main, B112 Bass and S118 Sub cabinets as well as eight 45-degree N-12 line monitors and 20 NX4x4 amplifiers was supplied by the manufacturer’s Indian distributor Sun Infonet.
DS Pro entered the market in 2004. Despite being young, the company has worked on a variety of concerts as well as corporate, religious and educational events. Its new STM system joins other Nexo elements in the company’s inventory, including GEO S, RS18 and PS10 cabinets.
‘We like to think our advanced technical solutions stand ahead of the competition and gratify an extensive range of clients,’ said Dhinakar, director of DSP Pro. ‘The prime reason for choosing a new high-spec PA was to be the best in the country, and also to capture the international market. We were looking to upgrade to an international standard system, and discovered that the Nexo STM was doing well around the world. Now, we are all set for more international events. I’m sure we will make a big impact with our new STM, and having this state-of-the-art equipment means we will be able to provide the best sound for our clients.
‘The system is designed so it produces super-powerful, super-flexible sound while also being very easy to set up and operate,’ he continued. ‘The Scale Through Modularity concept means it can perform well for small or large applications. It is quick and easy to rig and we will be able to use it on every single project we take on.’
Nicolas Kirsch, Nexo’s Asia sales manager, has been actively supporting the Indian market for the past eight years, working closely with the network of key users that have been established in that time. ‘We congratulate DS Pro on their purchase of an STM rig and for joining our STM group of elite users. DS have been committed and growing users of Nexo systems since we met them first back in 2011 and are increasing their Nexo inventory regularly. This is a big leap forward for them and I know they are now pulling many things together to upgrade to this flagship system.
‘Nexo has a new Concert Sound Division, which will provide the technical and tactical support for users like DS Pro, making a big difference for our touring business development and steady gains of rider acceptance,’ he added. ‘Several of those partners have already heard STM and approved of it, and plans are currently being made; it won’t be long before we can see a whole community of STM users coming to the fore and taking leadership of the Indian touring market.’
