Hi Everyone,
Has anyone heard of this brand Outline? I hear they have come up with great sounding Line Arrays. Their GTO and C12 is highly appreciated but somehow the brand is non-existent at PSW and many other forums. One of my fellow engineer got a chance to hear the GTO C12 and he swears by them to be amazing. I don't understand why I can't find any reviews or inputs on them? So any reviews / experience will be appreciated for awareness and knowledge.
I got a chance to mix on Butterfly and Mantas and they are very clean and good sounding box with good headroom as per the size of the box and also the throw was nice.
I want to know if anyone has got a chance to listen to them and how would you compare it to d&B Jseries or L'Acoustics K2 or other brands like Clair Systems, Adamson, Nexo STM etc.
Also saw a video of another upcoming brand "Audiofocus" which is challenging L'Acoustics directly lol what are your inputs on it?
Also check out this brand Voice Acoustics? anyone got a chance to mix on them?
I was invited to go to an Outline-hosted event in Bergamo in Italy two years ago.
They had rented a theatre to show their various products and let us have a listen. In typical Italian fashion they provided us with a bus driver who didn't know where he was headed and only spoke Italian - and excellent food.
It was a very nice event and they provided plenty of time to listen to various systems, walk the room, bring your own tracks, etc.
The things that stand out in my memory was a very efficient cardioid sub setup they had, where I couldn't believe my ears when I walked up on stage and heard the previously thundering low end almost disappear, a line array with variable "vanes" on the side of the enclosure to change the horisontal dispersion, and a line array that went VERY quiet as soon as you got out of the direct pattern.
Their amplification and DSP is by Powersoft and I remember us fooling around with an Ipad app for a line of floor monitors where you could change all kinds of cool things in the DSP of the enclosure itself.
We also got to see the woodshop where they make the speaker cabinets, which I found very cool. It was a surprisigly small operation with, I'd say, 6 or 8 workstations.
It's a family business and the key players were always around and tried to mingle with everyone, including non-big-whigs like myself.
One thing I was disappointed about was that they had almost no emphasis on displaying their point source systems, and it was mostly line-array only, even if they have some very cool-looking point source systems, too.
