Germany - At this year's Prolight&Sound expo in Frankfurt, Italy's Outline staged the world debut of two new loudspeaker systems which attracted a great deal of interest in sound reinforcement circles at world level.

MANTAS is the most recent Vertical Line Array element designed by Outline. Thanks to the great experience acquired with Butterfly - a system with which it shares some fundamental components and characteristics - MANTAS promises leading edge performance from an extraordinarily compact light-weight cabinet.

The Lab 21 infra-sub features ingenious acoustic architecture (a hybrid waveguide and indirect radiation system) and is fitted with a 21" woofer. Two masses of air are moved by just one diaphragm. The fact that the sound is generated by the two masses of air being moved by a single diaphragm, with a great advantage for the attack velocity of the transitory frequencies, results in very deep "solid" low frequencies, due to a response to the impulse with a very small "ripple", says the company.
