Tour-ready audio with clarity, powerful bass and consistent coverage

The Humming Tree is a well-known Bengaluru destination for independent music, creative expression and live performances. Hosting local talent and international touring acts, the venue provides a platform for live music, poetry slams and theatre workshops. Its audio system needed to deliver concert-grade clarity while preserving the venue’s distinctive character.

The installation features a d&b audiotechnik sound system designed to provide even coverage, detailed vocals and instruments, and controlled low-frequency performance. The main system comprises ALi90 line array loudspeakers processed with ArrayProcessing, supported by two flown Vi subwoofers and two ground-stacked B22 subwoofers. Together, the components provide the foundation for energetic live performances, with powerful yet controlled bass.

For consistent coverage across the audience area, two d&b 8S loudspeakers serve as front fills, complemented by two 8S delay loudspeakers. The ground floor is covered by two indoor 5S loudspeakers, while two weather-resistant 5S units extend audio coverage outdoors.

At the heart of the mixing setup is the Waves eMotion LV1 Classic 64 digital live mixing console, offering touring engineers a familiar, flexible workflow. Van Damme cabling supports reliable signal transmission throughout the installation.

The result is a tour-ready audio environment built to accommodate diverse live performances, delivering clarity, coverage and the dynamic impact expected from a contemporary music venue.
