Outline Chooses Frankfurt MusikMesse for Major Multiple Product LaunchIt's going to be a very busy show for Outline, as they announce the launch of a whole raft of innovative new products at MusikMesse 2014. The show runs March 12 - 15 in Frankfurt; Outline will exhibit in Hall 8.0 in stand J70. The best-selling EIDOS range expands yet further with the addition of three new members, the X123W, the 6.5, and the 12 SP. The company says the EIDOS X123W is a classic multi-purpose problem-solver, combining high power with an asymmetric cabinet design allowing myriad applications. Its use of modern co-axial driver technology (12"/3" LF/HF) allows a very light and compact unit to deliver serious SPL. The EIDOS 6.5 is a super-compact 6.5" + 1" module designed for installation purposes, especially where space is limited but which also requires power and intelligibility. It is also available in virtually any color to match surroundings where needed. The EIDOS 12 SP is a powerful multi-role device containing a 12" LF transducer and 1.75" compression driver, powered by internal Class D amplifiers and thus offering all the advantages of self-powered loudspeakers, and also featuring a rotatable HF waveguide allowing use in vertical or horizontal orientations. Outline's Movie Series welcomes a new member with the FX 101, designed as a surround-sound module for deployment in modern cinema applications. The 10" + 1" design includes a special "upside-down" driver orientation and 10-degree slanted baffle which combine to provide a very smooth LF/HF blend both in the near and mid-field, both on- and off-axis. The DBS 18-2i subwoofer is the latest Outline product to feature their unique "decoupled baffle subwoofer" design, which increases the structural integrity of the cabinet and also reduces resonance and air turbulence around the reflex ports. Dual 18" long-excursion transducers produce up to 141dB SPL peak at one meter. The DBS 18-2i is designed for permanent installation applications that demand high-powered, integrated audio systems. The brand-new iP24 iMode digital processor is a multi-role two-input / four-output DSP loudspeaker controller in a single rackspace design. It provides, for the first time, all the features associated with the iMode platform (see the URL below) to control external amplifiers and passive sound reinforcement systems. It uniquely features FIR / WFIR (warped frequency finite impulse response) filtering technology, based on the same principle as human hearing which distributes the frequency resolution over a semi-logarithmic scale and produces a more natural auditory response. All onboard audio I/O can run either analog or digital, and connection via standard Ethernet allows total system control via a PC web browser, iPhone / iPad and Mac OS X using Outline's proprietary control software. Four general purpose connections are also available to allow integration of third-party systems (such as voice evacuation) as well as power control, mute, and fault notification to the external monitoring system. To ensure the best possible stability and operational reliability, Outline has chosen the Linux operating system for the iP24, the standard for many mission-critical military and medical applications. The useful FASTQC-LS loudspeaker test device allows instant analysis of multiple-element loudspeaker elements, flagging up an electric faults such as broken connections, open-circuit coils, etc. Self-powered by an internal cell, this little gadget is an must for systems techs everywhere! Finally the new FRM-GTO-LW lightweight (50Kg / 110lb) flybar complements both the new GTO C-12 and the existing GTO line-array systems as it allows up to 12 and nine elements respectively to be flown from a single one-ton motor. Its design also allows it to be used as a ground-stack base on occasions when flying is not possible. Outline will be exhibiting at Prolight + Sound March 12 - 15, 2014, on stand J70, Hall 8.0., in Frankfurt, Germany.
