Curated by Hamish Bowles, Vogue’s Global Editor, and designed by Patrick Kinmonth, a renowned stage, costume, and architectural designer, in collaboration with Indian architectural and interior specialist Rooshad Shroff.

This limited-time exhibition, lasting three months, was integrated into a fixed installation within 15 days, from cabling to commissioning. The cutting-edge audio system featured:

    – 128 Genelec Smart IP Speakers with PoE+ power from Netgear M4250 Network switches, eliminating local power needs and complex cabling.
    – A robust network backbone with a Core Switch and ten Access Switches, supporting Dante requirements for seamless integration.
    – Two Outboard Timax Soundhub S64 units, providing 128 channels of spatial audio playback for an immersive experience.
    – Multichannel surround sound for each exhibit, achieved through precise routing of audio signals to individual speakers.

This innovative audio design created an engaging and captivating experience for visitors, showcasing the beauty of Indian fashion and textiles.

What key challenges were faced?

The project posed a significant challenge due to its extremely tight timeline, requiring completion of installation and commissioning within just 15 days. Additionally, the installation process involved working at heights of up to 12 meters to mount speaker poles, which would then be lowered to the required height of 7-8 meters. This added an extra layer of complexity and risk to the project, demanding precise planning, expertise, and execution to meet the deadline successfully.

How were those challenges resolved?

To overcome these challenges, the team employed a combination of careful planning, expertise, and innovative solutions:
A detailed project schedule was created, allocating specific tasks to each team member and ensuring that every aspect of the installation was accounted for.

The team employed innovative solutions to overcome the challenges of working at heights and meeting the tight deadline. This included:

  • -Customized rigging and pulley systems to safely and efficiently install speakers at elevated positions
  • -Employed Specialized equipment and tools to install speaker poles, and mounting hardware which provided safe and efficient installation conditions at heights.
  • -Proactive working style, which involved:
  • -Pre-configuration of speakers and network switches before installation, due to site unpreparedness
  • -This strategic approach saved valuable time during the installation phase, ensuring a smooth and efficient process

By adopting a proactive and creative problem-solving approach, the team successfully navigated the complexities of the project, delivering a high-quality outcome within the stipulated timeframe.

Through meticulous planning, specialized expertise, and innovative problem-solving, the team successfully completed the installation and commissioning within the 15-day timeline, delivering a high-quality audio system that met the client’s expectations.
