Electro-Voice and Dynacord Enable Storytelling at Jhansi Fort



Electro-Voice and Dynacord complement the spectacular visuals while providing a sense of immersion for the audience at Jhansi Fort


  • Powerful Electro-Voice and Dynacord solution provides the audio to support historic sound and light show
  • Electro-Voice Sx600 loudspeakers combine with EVF-2151D subwoofers to deliver pristine audio quality across the audience area
  • Dynacord L3600FD amplifiers drive the 5.1 surround sound solution, designed and installed by systems integrator Pan Intellecom

Electro-Voice and Dynacord equipment are used to help tell the story of Jhansi Fort in northern India. Located in Jhansi Smart City, the historic fortress has a storied history which is now celebrated through an immersive sound and light show. The display uses the fort itself as the canvas for the visuals, while a powerful audio solution was required to cover the large audience area.

Jhansi Fort was originally built in the 17th century and saw heavy fighting during the Indian Mutiny of 1857-1858. To highlight this while educating visitors, the fort's 30-minute sound and light show depicts the life and death of Lakshmi Bai, the 22-year-old rani (queen) of Jhansi, who died fighting the British East India Company during the rebellion. She is said to have tied her son to her back, jumped on a horse, and galloped to safety when the sprawling Jhansi Fort fell into the hands of the British.

The attraction uses a 270-degree, 83m-wide projection-mapped canvas on the walls of the hilltop fort, which was created by systems integrator, Pan Intellecom. A powerful 5.1 audio solution from Electro-Voice and Dynacord was selected to complement the spectacular visuals while also providing a sense of immersion for the audience.


High output models of Electro-Voice and Dynacord ensure that a large audience area can be covered at the Jhansi Fort


The 5.1 surround sound system relies on 12 Electro-Voice Sx600 high output two-way loudspeakers supported by four EVF-2151D dual 15"front-loaded subwoofers. Power for the solution is via eight Dynacord L3600FD 2 x 1800 W DSP power amplifiers. Selecting these high output models ensures that a large audience area can be covered. Meanwhile, the audio quality means that visitors are fully immersed in the show.

The main challenge for the project came from the truncated timescale to deliver the solution rather than the technical requirements. The initial project timeline was shortened by two months to ensure the production would be ready to show India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who was visiting Jhansi Smart City. Fortunately, Pan Intellecom team was able to work day and night alongside other contractors to ensure the new deadline was hit.

"The high output solution perfectly complements the stunning visuals to help tell the story of Lakshmi Bai and has become a spectacularly successful endeavor for the city," said Sankalp Srivastava, AGM of projects for Pan Intellecom. "We were able to design a world-class audio experience with a range of products from Electro-Voice and Dynacord family. It acts as a beacon of knowledge, informing people and tourists about the historical significance of the queen's valor and her participation in the revolt of 1857. Additionally, it serves as a strong tourist spot, enhancing the local economy and promoting a strong sense of pride in and kinship with Jhansi's cultural history."

"I would like to congratulate Pan Intellecom for the wonderful job that they have done," concluded Abhishek Khurana from Jhansi Smart City Limited. "From the point of view of Jhansi Smart City Limited, I would also like to welcome tourists from abroad and all across the country to come and enjoy the show."
