Electrocraft designs and supplies Coda Audio AiRay system for 30th anniversary edition of popular Indian rock festival

Mahindra Independence Rock is one of India’s premier rock festivals with a rich heritage of bringing high calibre performances to its Mumbai audience. The 30th edition of the festival took place in November 2024 and once again featured the country’s leading rock bands, including Bloodywood, Motherjane, Indus Creed and 13AD.

Taking care of the event’s audio was its long-time partner Electrocraft, under the supervision of managing director and pioneering sound engineer Roger Drego. For this edition the organisers required a compact, flown sound system that required as little trussing as possible. Electrocraft supplied a Coda Audio AiRay system to meet the needs of the festival’s brief.

Yohan Martinez of Electrocraft designed the system using Coda’s proprietary prediction software System Optimiser, and deployed eight AiRays per side supported by a cardioid arrangement of 24 SCP dual 18’’ sensor controlled subwoofers. An additional eight CiRay units were positioned as frontfills.

“As the first events supplier in India to own and work with Coda Audio systems, the setup was a unique experience for Roger’s team at such a massive rock concert”, says Devasis Barkataki, Founder and Managing Director of Coda Audio’s Indian distributor Alphatec. “Adapting to the new system required a learning curve but Electrocraft’s team applied their full technical expertise to master the audio dynamics, System Optimiser and the venue acoustics. Once this was achieved, the AiRay system exceeded expectations.”
