Sound.Com invests in additional Klang:Konductor system for A. R. Rahman live events

Mumbai, India-based sound equipment rental company Sound.Com has invested in DMI-Klang cards, to accompany their fleet of DiGiCo consoles and also the Klang:Konductor system, for use with their range of other consoles. Academy Award-winning instrumentalist and composer A. R. Rahman (“Slumdog Millionaire”, “Jai Ho”) has been using the immersive Klang:Konductor system for his recent live dates.

“Using Klang’s immersive in-ear mixing technology has significantly transformed how I approach mixing”, says Mark Thomas, long-time Sound.Com employee and monitor engineer for A.R. Rahman. “The depth of spatial audio that Klang offers has allowed me to elevate the sonic experience in ways that were previously difficult or even impossible to achieve.”

“Klang’s spatial audio tools enable me to place each element in a mix with a heightened sense of direction and depth, crucially without muddling”, he continues. “This means that whether it’s intricate arrangements or the layering of different instruments, I can ensure that every sound feels like it’s coming from its own distinct position in space, creating a more dynamic and immersive monitoring experience.”

“A. R. Rahman’s music carries a lot of emotional weight, and the ability to use Klang’s immersive sound features helps me enhance that emotional impact”, he adds. “The technology allows me to move sounds around the musician/singers listening plane, creating more emotional highs and lows, and helping the performer feel more connected to the music.”

Klang:Konductor offers seamless integration with any console. There is also a seven-inch touch screen on the front of the unit with full Klang:App control. Klang is compatible with a range of audio network protocols, ensuring that, regardless of engineer preference, all Sound.Com’s consoles or additional local hires can be used with the Klang immersive mix system.

For musicians and artists, there is also a range of choice. Thomas has found the Klang:Kontroller is the best interface for orchestras. For Bollywood bands, where musicians often play multiple instruments, he finds they are happier adding Klang:App to their existing iPads.

“There’s a huge demand for Klang, both cross-platform and also with higher channel counts, so that was a key reason to invest in Klang:Konductor”, Thomas concludes. “India is a major stop for touring acts, we’re really on the map now. Many of these artists are using Klang, so we’re seeing a big uptick in enquiries about it.”
