The rental market in India has evolved through leaps and bounds , nurturing qualitative growth as its foundation along its path . And vital to this growth is technology ; enhancements in loudspeaker and line array systems being key . Users , however , do stress that there ’ s a lot left to be desired .

Bose Professional presented its revolutionary ShowMatchTM array speaker system with the next-gen DeltaQ technology to India ’ s pro audio community at the end of 2016 ; and ever since has drawn attention of several rental companies and DJs across the country
“ With enhancement in infrastructure presenting a steady stream of opportunities , and live event professionals emphasizing more on sound to create an enchanting experience for audiences ; the market in India was ready for the next wave of pro audio technology . The ShowMatchTM system provides users with the ability to design a system with consistent tonal balance and significantly more detailed and balanced sound with uniform coverage ; which makes it easier to EQ and provide unmatched sound clarity ” said Arun Kumar - Divisional Manager SAARC , Bose Professional .
The ShowMatchTM array loudspeakers comprise compact Baltic birch ply enclosures , with weights ranging from 64 to 67.5 pounds ( depending on model ), including the integrated 3-point quick-pin rigging and endcaps . The array modules are offered in three versions with 5 / 10 / 20-degree vertical dispersion ; and under the protective steel grill , two dual long-excursion 8-inch neodymium woofers flank a CADS ( Continuous-Arc Diffraction- Slot ) manifold . The latter is a proprietary Bose innovation that provides interference-free acoustic summation of the four Bose EMB2S compression drivers . The array loudspeakers have also been recorded to deliver the highest full-range output for their size class with 145 dB peak array output levels . And with field-changeable waveguides aimed at optimizing sound quality throughout the audience area , users can create both traditional J-Array , Constant Curvature and DeltaQ array configurations , bringing selectable coverage control to the portable / rental markets .
‘ There are two key elements of differentiation for ShowMatchTM DeltaQTM : Sound quality and flexibility ”

38 highonscore . com explains Arun as he talks about the performance value derived from the ShowMatch system . He continues , “ With respect to sound quality , it is the vocal clarity that the product provides . Historically , many loudspeakers have a crossover in the vocal region , which degrades vocal clarity . We came up with a twoway system and invented new proprietary transducers and compression drivers that kept the cross-over point outside the vocal clarity range thereby improving the intensity and clarity of vocal projection significantly . Another key positive of the ShowMatch system is its ability to deliver seamless coverage throughout the audience listening area and achieve a system that performs best to the venue orientation . DeltaQ refers to being able to vary or change ‘ Delta ’ the directivity ‘ Q ’ of the boxes , both horizontally and vertically . This proprietary approach enables the creation of a custom array shape to meet the needs of the venue .”
Conceivably enough , the Bose Professional ShowMatchTM DeltaQTM system made quite the impression among key players in the market ; with reputed rental cos like Bangalore based Acoustic Control and Hyderabad based Highbrow Production Services acquiring comprehensive ShowMatchTM DeltaQTM array rigs ( complete with amplification + processing ) as their premier reinforcement solution . And teams from the respective rental proudly express their elation with their new rig , asserting that the ShowMatch DeltaQ system ’ s performance has far surpassed all expectations .
Sanjay Mudartha of Acoustic Control shares his comment on their new Bose ShowMatch system saying , “ This system is pure genius . From the thundering bass to the clear mids and sparkling highs . This system delivers it all . Whether you ’ re doing a gig that plays high-energy alt rock with a lot of slam-tothe-wall stuff , or something mellow and calm like an acoustic set ; the system is built to intersperse sound cleanly , with great detail and amazing intelligibility . Plus , even if you have a mix with a lot of dynamics , you ’ ll notice that the system retains all the power without fatiguing , and with no issues translating the nuances of that FOH sound . And of course , the best part about the system is its interchangeable horizontal waveguide plates which can easily be swapped on site to suit any venue be it a small space or a performing arts center or amphitheater or whatever . This is why the Bose ShowMatch DeltaQ is nextgen ; and we are absolutely proud to have it feature in our inventory .”
