DiGiCo Quantum 338 console of choice for Diljit Dosanjh world tour

Indian singer/actor Diljit Dosanjh’s “Dil-Luminati” world tour utilised DiGiCo Quantum 338 consoles at the front of house and monitor positions, supplied by Solotech Group for the UK and European leg of the tour, complete with DMI-Klang immersive in ear monitoring. Engineers Kenny Narayan and Ranjeet Singh have toured with Dosanjh for many years, and both of them have extensive DiGiCo experience.

“The show was very heavy on Snapshots and MIDI recalls. Dilijit is very active on social media, so we used a lot of busses, too”, says Narayan. “The console really meets our needs. There are often TV news cameras, or social media teams that need feeds, so having the MADI streams at the desk to hit their recording platforms, rather than needing an additional rack, makes it seamless.” Singh adds: “Overall, there were no more than 56 channels in use at the monitor desk. We used timecode for tracks and have additional monitor mixes for video, broadcast mixes and recordings.”

Both consoles were connected via Optocore, enabling additional send and return channels in addition to simplifying system integration. It is a set-up that works well for the pair, as Singh continues: “For this tour, it had to be DiGiCo. There are many features that we appreciate, especially the chat function, which makes it easy to communicate during the show; the SPL regularly went above 108 dB, so it was essential”, he says. “Spice Rack and Mustard worked well, too, especially the DiGiTube valve amp emulator, which means we didn’t have to rely on external processing racks.”

Another feature available directly via the console is the DMI-Klang card. This fully integrated expansion card gave Singh access to the Klang immersive in-ear mixes, delivering a full 360 degree immersive experience for the artists. “DMI-Klang is the first choice for our monitor mixes”, furthers Singh. “The whole band uses the immersive settings, and we had thirteen mixes in total.”

The record-breaking “Dil-Luminati” tour sold out three nights in London’s O2 in a matter of minutes, making it the fastest selling, highest grossing run of shows for a Punjabi artist in the venue’s history. The tour closed the year in India with sold-out shows across the country.
