Soon after the launch of the DiGiCo Quantum 338, Hi-Tech Audio & Image as a distributor promoted the new range in the Indian market. Goa-based Event & Audio/Visual Rental Company, CAS ANT Events Pvt. Ltd. purchased the second DiGiCO Quantum 338 of India from Hi-Tech Audio & Image Pvt. Ltd.
“We were looking to upgrade our console and wanted a console that would not become obsolete quickly, therefore the DiGiCo Quantum 338 with all its capabilities fulfilled our requirements,” explains Anthony Fernandes, Director, CAS ANT Events Pvt Ltd. “The game-changing features of quantum include the spice rack, mustard strip channel processing, and nodal processing. Not to mention DiGiCo’s extremely strong and adaptable matrix mixer.”
The Journey of CAS ANT started with a vision by Mr. Simplicio and Mrs. Angela Fernandes without the knowledge that it would soon revolutionize the event industry in the years to come. As a result, the concept of CAS ANT Power (Parent Company) was born in 1998, and it was eventually succeeded by their sons, Mr. Cassiano (Proprietor of CAS ANT Power) and Mr. Anthony Fernandes (Proprietor of CAS ANT Entertainers), led by their Father, Mr. Simplicio (Founder), and with the unwavering support of their Mother, Mrs. Angela Fernandes (Co-Founder).
CAS ANT Event has successfully planned and executed numerous corporate events, destination weddings and leisure groups and has also contributed to the planning and execution of numerous government-sponsored events such as the renowned International Film Festival of India (IFFI). With the DiGiCo Quantum 338, the company can now offer engineers and artists top-notch choices to make their job easier and more enjoyable.
“As mentioned by Anthony, with the features available in the Quantum 338, it was difficult for us to settle for anything less, so we went ahead with it, and working with it is a breeze. The improved speed, faders, touch and screens, which are even visible in bright sunlight, make the engineers’ lives a lot easier. Right after the purchase, our Quantum 338 was deployed for Indian singer, rapper, and songwriter King’s live performance FOH duty at Hammerzz Open Air, Goa”, shares Cassiano Fernandes, Director, CAS ANT Events Pvt Ltd.
DiGiCo Application Engineer from Hi-Tech Audio & Image Pvt. Ltd., Piyush Joshi, have conducted product training for CAS ANT Events Pvt. Ltd. technical support team in Goa.
“As I reached the client’s warehouse, I sat with the engineers and trained them digitally while the console was in transit” he recalls. The day console arrived at the warehouse “I demonstrated every feature available on the console. The mustard strip channel processing accessible for each channel strip gives you an infinite number of processing options eliminating the need for external plugins which is definitely a game changer.
The Local I/O ports, as well as the SD rack, are all 32bit mic preamps, which makes a significant difference in the live sound ecosystem. The Nodal processing is a highly strong feature that gives you a lot of versatility when mixing monitors from FOH or monitor world or running effects, the creative possibilities are infinite. From the client’s perspective, acquiring Quantum 338 console as their gateway to Digico realm, I believe they have entered the big leagues!”
“Our aspiration of owning the DiGiCo Quantum 338 would not have been achievable without the assistance and support of Mr. Nirdosh Aggarwal and Hi-Tech Audio & Image’s team exudes professionalism”, shares Anthony Fernandes “We recognize our client’s effort and dedication to own world-class audio inventory that would boost their business. Both Anthony and Cassiano are very ambitious individuals who want to drive their company in a new direction. I have known Mr. Simplico, founder of CAS ANT for over 2 decades who have trusted our capabilities to deliver the best. Being the 2nd rental company to own DiGiCo Quantum 338 in India, CAS ANT Events Pvt. Ltd. is very enthusiastic to enhance every event and give the best experience using the latest technology in the market,” comments Nirdosh Aggarwal, Managing Director, Hi-Tech Audio & Image Pvt. Ltd.
Rajan Gupta, CEO & Founder of Hi-Tech Audio & Image Pvt. Ltd. is glad to provide the console to CAS ANT Events Pvt Ltd. He says, “We pride ourselves on how we expose our clients to new technology and represent DiGiCo in India. Along with our application engineers, we are strategizing effective sales plans backed by technical training to promote Quantum as well as the SD range of DiGiCo in the market. Since the Quantum range is very new here in India, we are trying to educate clients about the advantages of owning the console and how it can maximize their ROI.”
