Angriya Cruises the Seas with Bose
The client wanted a system that would not spoil the original aesthetics of the place and at the same time deliver outstanding performance, hence Audio Technik decided to chose the Bose Systems.
Angriya is India’s first domestic cruise liner that takes you from Mumbai to Goa. This majestic ship gets its name from the first Admiral of the Maratha Navy, Sarkhel Kanhoji Angre, who was popularly known as the Shivaji of the Indian Sea. Angriya set sail on its maiden voyage in Oct 2018 and ever since is giving its patrons an enhanced experience for corporate events, live performances and much more on this majestic vessel.
This luxurious ship was built in Japan and was decommissioned there when Captain Dhond, a veteran Indian merchant navy Captain decided to buy it in December 2016.
For the setting up of the AV, Angriya hired the experience hands of AV systems integrators Audio Technik, who are the elite partner of Bose in India. Bose was the obvious choice for the directors of Angriya as one of the directors Mr. Sarvesh was already working on another project with Bose and they were well aware of the system’s performance, the company support, and the after-sales that Bose provides.
The project was headed by Rajesh Patil, founder of Audio Technik along with two other directors Kevin Pillai and Peeyush Singh.
Vibhor Khanna, Country Manager – India & SAARC, Bose Professional, commented, “Evolving consumer preferences, emerging ship sizes and new entertainment programmes onboard featuring state-of-the-art audio, video and lighting have changed the cruise ship industry considerably. There is a lot of extra thought and attention that goes into the sound system design of a cruise ship and selecting the right products is crucial. Audio Technik came up with up with an ideal Bose sound system solution which is not only rugged and robust but also has sound quality which matches the aesthetics and demands of the cruise. The LT 9702 WRs, ControlSpace and FreeSpace solutions from Bose correspond perfectly with the demanding requirements of the Angriya, while greatly enhancing the guests’ Showtime experience. We are proud of this project and we thank Audio Technik for a speedy and trouble-free installation.”
