SILVOLDE, The Netherlands — Eko Geluid & lichttechniek recently took delivery of a point-source system from Outline. The Dutch rental company has already put it into service supporting the Beethoven Rocks tour.
More details from Outline (www.outline.it and www.outlinearray.com):
Eko Geluid & lichttechniek, which had been seeking a powerful and compact stack PA system, chose Outline after testing on the basis of the system’s sonic performance, light weight and small size.
Eko’s Outline system includes eight Outline Doppia II 5040, two Outline Doppia II 9075 and 12 Outline DBS 18-2 subwoofers, all are driven by nine Outline T-Series amps (5 & 11) whilst the signal processing is managed by Outline Genius 24.
The Doppia system features a power:size ratio that is unique in the point-source system scenario. It has a volume of just 0.25 m3 and weighs 55 kg, in spite of its four large-diameter components and the sturdy fiberglass waveguides loading the mid-high frequencies (LF 2 x 12” – MF 1 x 10” – HF 1 x 3”). It has a peak SPL of 139 dB @ 1 meter with a frequency response ranging from 61 Hz to 19.7 kHz.
Eko’s owner Erik Koster, states: “Nowadays, it seems the market only thinks in terms of line arrays, but I can assure you that on many occasions a well-balanced conventional stack PA system is still a better choice than a poorly positioned line array system. The bands we serve all demand very high audio quality and Outline delivers just that.”
Axel Nagtegaal, owner of The Audio Specialists (Outline’s distributor for Benelux and Germany), adds: “Outline is one of the few pro audio brands manufacturing powerful conventional stack PA systems as well as high performance line arrays. We realize there’s an on-going demand for these systems and Outline’s Doppia combined with DBS subs form an extremely powerful but easy to work with system that fulfills this demand.”
