India - Bhopal-based Phoenix Networks has officially transitioned to Phoenix Networks Global Pvt. Ltd in a move that reflects its ambitions in both domestic and international live production markets.
The new identity marks ‘a forward-facing evolution catalysed by the company’s highly acclaimed production support for the Kathmandu Music Festival in Nepal in late 2024’.
"The transformation to Phoenix Networks Global Pvt. Ltd. reflects more than a name change - it reflects our growing global footprint, fuelled by the overwhelming success of our services for the Kathmandu Music Festival," explains Animesh Mishra, founder director of the company. "We’ve always believed in setting new benchmarks, and this rebranding aligns with our vision of offering our signature service excellence on a global platform."
Founded in 2011 with a vision to transform ordinary gatherings into extraordinary experiences, Phoenix has since executed over 5,000 events, including more than 500 mega-scale productions, spanning concerts, cultural festivals, political rallies, and corporate spectacles. Their track record includes technically demanding events such as Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour in Mumbai, the heritage-rich Tansen Samaroh, and large-scale productions like the Me’Gong Festival.
Now, strengthening its arsenal, Phoenix Networks Global has invested in two significant additions to its equipment inventory: a comprehensive new Martin Audio WPC line-array system and the new Sennheiser Spectera wireless system - each chosen for their pioneering technology and strategic versatility.
At the heart of the new loudspeaker acquisition is Martin Audio’s Wavefront Precision Compact (WPC) line array system. The company has added 24 units of the WPC - one of the brand’s most advanced three-way bi-amp, dual 10” line array modules featuring Scalable Resolution technology. The system is supported by 12 units of the SXH218 hybrid horn/reflex subwoofers, six units of the LE200 coaxial stage monitors, and 10 units of the iK42 four-channel class-D power amplifiers, forming a powerfully cohesive, high-performance solution for small-to-mid scale events.
"The WPC’s Scalable Resolution system is a game-changer," remarks Animesh. "It offers us unmatched flexibility and precise control over system coverage. Whether we’re setting up in a tightly packed ballroom or an open festival ground, we can optimise the entire array to deliver consistent SPL, clarity and tonal balance across the venue - something that’s increasingly important as client expectations evolve."
Through the WPC system acquisition, team Phoenix has also upgraded its stage monitoring capabilities with the addition of the LE200 passive monitors. Featuring the brand’s Coaxial Differential Dispersion technology, the monitors provide even coverage and high feedback rejection - ideal for artists needing clarity, comfort and consistency across large stages.
"The LE200s allow performers to trust their mix, no matter where they move on stage. That kind of confidence translates directly to better performance energy," Animesh adds.
And powering this augmented loudspeaker setup are the iK42 amplifiers; each four-channel class-D unit of which delivers up to 20,000W with onboard DSP, seamless VU-NET control, and compatibility with Display software, enabling sophisticated tuning and alignment.
"The iK42s are incredibly intelligent amps. The seamless integration with our WPC system means quicker setup, tighter control, and better reliability - especially under pressure!" exclaims Animesh.
"Spectera represents a dramatic leap in wireless reliability and spectral efficiency," says Animesh. "The system is built for demanding professional environments, offering wideband tunability, low-intermodulation RF performance, and robust encryption standards; while affording unparalleled flexibility that allows seamless co-existence with other legacy wireless infrastructure.”
Together, the acquisitions mark a major move for Phoenix Networks Global, whose already formidable Meyer Sound inventory (including the largest number of Panther and Leopard line arrays in India) remains a core offering.
"We don’t just manage events - we craft experiences that endure," Animesh concludes. "From the smallest detail to the grandest scale, our mission is simple: deliver extraordinary sound, anywhere in the world."
