The Rise of Live Sound Production in India - Powered by Sun Infonet

Over the past few years, India’s live music scene has grown into a powerhouse of energy, creativity, and scale. From packed stadium concerts to high-production music festivals, the demand for powerful, clear, and reliable sound systems is greater than ever before. According to a 2025 EY report, the organized live entertainment market in India crossed ₹12,000 crore in 2024 and is expected to grow at nearly 19% annually. With 70–80 large-scale concerts drawing crowds of over 10,000 people, live sound production has quickly evolved into one of the most critical aspects of modern event planning.

Take Coldplay’s 2023 concert in Ahmedabad for instance, over 2 lakh people attended the show, and the production quality matched global standards. This kind of success is now setting the benchmark for local tours and artists across the country.

The Shift Toward Advanced Audio Technology

As concerts get larger and more complex, India has seen a major shift in the way live sound is handled. Analog consoles are giving way to digital mixing desks that offer more control, flexibility, and seamless integration with stage systems. Industry research notes that the Indian console market has drastically transformed, with engineers now preferring gear that includes networked I/O, built-in DSP, touchscreens, and automated scene recall.

In addition to this, technologies like cloud-connected audio networks, wireless monitoring, and compact but powerful PA systems are also becoming standard. These upgrades aren’t just about sound quality, they’re about efficiency, consistency, and scalability.

Sun Infonet: A Driving Force Behind the Sound

Behind many of these concert audio transformations is Sun Infonet Pvt. Ltd., one of India’s leading distributors of professional audio equipment. Since its inception in 1999, Sun Infonet has partnered with some of the world’s most respected audio brands including Shure, Meyer Sound, and Allen & Heath.

Shure: Industry-leading microphones and wireless monitoring systems.

Meyer Sound: High-end loudspeakers and line arrays.

Allen & Heath: Digital mixing consoles like the dLive, SQ, and Avantis series.

As the exclusive distributor for these brands in India, Sun Infonet doesn’t just supply equipment, they bring in training, support, and integration expertise that’s essential to running successful live shows.

Real-World Impact: From Bollywood to Global Acts

Sun Infonet’s influence on India’s concert scene can be seen in several standout projects. For example, LED Solutions, a major Delhi-based rental company, was looking for a reliable high-channel-count console for Bollywood concerts and festivals. Sun Infonet stepped in with a complete Allen & Heath dLive S7000 system paired with a DM32 MixRack and audio expanders. Their team didn’t just drop off the gear, they also facilitated hands-on training with an official Allen & Heath engineer to help LED Solutions hit the ground running.

Another story comes from Mumbai’s Audio Core, which used the dLive S7000 at two major events: a high-profile Bollywood concert at NSCI Dome and a nationwide town hall for Deutsche Bank. Both events used complex audio routing, multi-zone coverage, and high channel counts. With Meyer Sound speakers and Shure wireless systems also in the mix, all provided by Sun Infonet, the results were nothing short of world-class.

And then there’s the Dil-luminati Tour 2024, one of the biggest artist-led tours in India in recent times. The production team relied on Sun Infonet to deliver Allen & Heath’s dLive S7000 console, ensuring smooth transitions between cities and stages without compromising audio quality.

Why It Matters

These are more than just transactions, they represent a new era of professionalism in Indian live sound. As more artists demand immersive sound, more venues push for flexibility, and more audiences expect seamless audio experiences, Sun Infonet’s role has become foundational. With every console, wireless mic system, or PA rig they provide, they’re not just delivering hardware, they’re raising the bar for what live events in India can achieve.

Way Forward

As the live entertainment market continues to grow, there’s no question that high-end sound will remain a key differentiator. Promoters, production houses, and engineers alike are now prioritizing audio infrastructure like never before.
