USA - The Palace Grounds in Bangalore were transformed on 7 November into a celebration for thousands who turned out for The Great Indian Rock 2008. This international concert that featured three prominent Indian bands, Slingshot, Rainbow Bridge and Extinct Reflections and two Norwegian popular acts, Sahg and Satryicon. V&P Sound deployed an extensive Harman sound system that featured Soundcraft's Vi6 and included products from JBL, Crown, dbx, and AKG.

The sound system consisted of 20 JBL Vertec VT4889s with two main hangs of 10 per-side, 16 JBL VT4880A subs were flown in on four per-side hangs, eight JBL CSR subs were ground stacked with four per-side and VRX932LA's were used as centre-fills. Crown I-Tech 4000, 6000, and 8000 amplifiers powered the entire system and the FOH was mixed using the Soundcraft Vi6 digital mixing console running the new Version 3.0 software.

Svein Solberg, Satyricon's FOH engineer, was working on the Vi6 for the first fime and he notes: "This is as comfortable as working on any analogue console and the ease of operation allowed me to mix on the console with little prior experience. The Vertecs are loud and clean sounding boxes and this is indeed the best sounding system that we've operated in India."
