UK - Italian pro audio manufacturer Outline demonstrated its innovative Butterfly line array PA system to sound engineers and rental company representatives at London's Hammersmith Apollo in late September. Early arrivals enjoyed time to listen to recorded material via CD and MiniDisc and discuss technical aspects of the system with system designer Guido Noselli and president of international sales Giorgio Biffi, along with Peter Barnard, the UK distributor for Outline products.

There was also time for a demo of Outline's proprietary Software Program - VIP (Vector Implementation Protocol), which works on an Open GL Platform and will calculate the number of modules required to achieve optimum vertical and horizontal coverage of any venue, be it open-air or indoor. Further tools to accompany VIP, including a laser range finder and trim height device which will also incorporate a temperature and humidity probe with inclinometer, are currently in BETA testing. This device will be connected via the USB port to the system designer's laptop, thus giving an accurate prediction of the amount of modules required.

At 2pm the live band was introduced and the 'Jazz Friends' performed for 40 minutes to allow attendees to hear live music through the Butterfly. The day concluded with the system being flown in to show the ease of the patented flying equipment. Peter Barnard told L&SI: "Comments made on the day were very positive and the product received a warm reception."
