During the long night of celebrations, an estimated crowd of one million supporters arrived from all over Italy to pay tribute to their sports heroes. The sound system included 28 Butterfly Hi-Pack CDH 483 and 12 Victor Live subwoofers, powered by Outline's Series T power amplifiers and controlled by Genius 26 processors, also manufactured by Outline.
Mounted on four strategically-positioned scaffold towers, the Italian company's compact systems seemed almost 'invisible' amid such a huge crowd, but reinforced the speech with their usual high level of naturalness and intelligibility, say the company.
The audio rental firm responsible for the operation (commissioned by Rome Municipality through Audio Wave) was Blackout from Vasto (in the Italian province of Chieti), which recently purchased a Butterfly system. Deejay Service from Rende (CS), who also own an Outline array, also provided valuable support for the important event.
