The Outline STADIA100 LA range combines key principles of line-source theory with well-established proprietary Outline technologies to produce a range of products which provide the perfect 'toolbox' for those engaged in audio installations in very large spaces such as sports stadia, says the company.
The new loudspeakers are an original design created specifically for purpose. Capable of delivering up to 149 dB with a peak input power handling of 8kW, coupled with pin-point accuracy of directional control over long distances, the STADIA100 LA delivers the power and accuracy to provide perfectly intelligible full-range audio throughout the largest spaces.
Construction and finishing techniques developed specifically for long-term outdoor installation have also been used in the STADIA100 LA, notably Outline's own 'outSIDE', a tough and waterproof elastoplastic coating which interacts with the cabinet material to provide unmatched durability regardless of location or conditions.
Also on show and available for demo will be Outline's new system processor, the iP48 iMode digital loudspeaker processor. Packing four inputs and eight outputs into a single unit of rackspace.
Of particular interest is the iP48's use of innovative WFIR (Warped Frequency Finite Impulse Response) filtering technology which utilises the same principles as human hearing, and which is facilitated by the vast DSP power of iP48. This technology produces a consistently more natural and lifelike audio response by distributing the frequency resolution over a semi-logarithmic scale.
Outline's CEO Giorgio Biffi said, "ISE is the perfect place to launch STADIA100 LA. We are very excited about this product because it represents so much of what Outline is about - producing genuinely innovative products created from a clear understanding of the needs of the market. The same is true of the new iP48 of course, with class-leading multi-platform control protocols and onboard processing that simply delivers superior results - come and see us at ISE Amsterdam on stand 7-W205!"
