Electro-Voice joins Indias 62nd Republic Day Parade
Published: ASIA
INDIA: An Sx300PIX Electro-Voice system featuring 156 loudspeaker cabinets was recently specially designed for New Delhi’s 62nd Republic Day Parade. The Parade commemorates the date on which the Constitution of India came into force as the governing document of India on January 26th 1950.
The Sx300PIX system was designed for the parade by Bosch Security Systems, India, centring around Sx cabinets which were fitted on a series of light poles positioned all along the 2.6km parade route. These reportedly provided a ‘loud and spectacular’ reproduction of the commentary and music that accompanied the traditional dance troupes taking part. The selection of the system – installed by Hi-Tech Audio Systems – followed a technical evaluation by the Indian army.
‘It was a stiff competition – Electro Voice was chosen over other major brands in the country and also from abroad,’ commented Tushar Srivastava, senior manager of product marketing.
The grand parade was held near Rajpath in New Delhi, beginning from Raisin Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Palace), along the Rajpath, past India Gate and onto the historic Red Fort in the old quarter of the city.
