India - Volkswagen, Europe's largest vehicle manufacturer, recently opened the doors of its new corporate factory in Chakan, India, with one of the year's most prestigious corporate launches. Sound engineers from India's Sound.com selected the Soundcraft Vi6 digital console to mix the high-profile event. The occasion required a versatile and intuitive board and the engineer, Fali Damania, mixed the event with the assistance of the Vistonics interface of the Vi6.

Sound.com managing director, Warren D'souza, noted that the success of the event would set a new benchmark for the Indian sound industry to live up to and states: "Many managers pitched for this project and the entire industry was anxious to see how well this event would be executed."

D'souza continues, "The production of the show needed to be flawless, which is why we selected the Soundcraft Vi6."

The sound installation for the Volkswagen launch was completed four days before the event, allowing Damania to familiarize himself with the Vi6 and its vast array of features and components. "This was actually my first time working on this console so I was initially nervous going into the gig, but to be honest, the console is laid out so intuitively that I mastered the console after only a few hours," commented Damania.

The Volkswagen factory in Chakan, located 100 miles southeast of Mumbai, will increase employment by 2,500 employees and will also produce 110,000 vehicles annually for the thriving Indian market.
