OUTLINE PRESS RELEASE<br />
PLEASE PUBLISH AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE<br />
Flero (Brescia), Italy, Wednesday, 9 th March 2005<br />
<strong>Outline</strong> at <strong>Frankfurt</strong> s ProLight+Sound<br />
<strong>Outline</strong> will launch the following new products at <strong>Frankfurt</strong> s ProLight+Sound 2005:<br />
H.A.R.D. 45 SP<br />
The series of top-end stage monitors will be expanded by the H.A.R.D. 45 SP, the most<br />
compact in the range, but with the same original design appreciated in the larger (115 and 212)<br />
models. In spite of its ultra-slim profile, miniaturized dimensions (40 x 45 x 30 cm) and<br />
ridiculously light weight, H.A.R.D. 45 SP can push out a peak SPL of 129 dB/1m, thanks also to<br />
the powerful built-in PWM amplifiers supplying 2-way (low and high) power to the speakers<br />
mounted in the enclosure. With four special 5 mid-woofers (the same as those mounted in the<br />
Micra II enclosures) and a compression driver with a 1" throat loaded by the same S.P.R.W.G.<br />
(Single Parabolic Reflective Wave Guide) used for the other models in the range, H.A.R.D. 45<br />
features, among other things, exceptionally fast transient response.<br />

Designer Guido Noselli explains: It would have been easier - and much less expensive - to use<br />
a 10 woofer instead of four 5" ones, but it's very unlikely that we would have achieved the same<br />
naturalness in speech reproduction and, in spite of the enclosure s compact dimensions, we<br />
wouldn t have managed to achieve the sound projection the H.A.R.D. 45 is able to give on both<br />
planes and, thanks to this feature, very low feedback risk . H.A.R.D. 45 has another strong<br />
point: the possibility of being stored inside the new Global Sub, saving considerable space<br />
during transport (see Global Sub).<br />
Global Sub<br />
Global Sub + 2 Micra II Global Sub + H.A.R.D. 45 SP Global Sub + Globe-Source<br />
This subwoofer exploits <strong>Outline</strong> s internationally patented space-saving philosophy, used for<br />
the first time with the Kanguro system which, precisely thanks to this feature, received the<br />
Award for Product Excellence at the 2001 Plasa Show in London. So this is not just a normal<br />
15 sub, but also a container (complete with a cover) able to hold three different <strong>Outline</strong><br />
loudspeaker systems: H.A.R.D. 45, a pair of Micra II, or the Globe Source adjustable multidirectivity<br />
sound radiator (for which it is the ideal complement for a wide variety of<br />
measurements in the architectural acoustics field).<br />

Global Sub is also designed to hold other <strong>Outline</strong> products currently being developed. As far as<br />
performance is concerned, GSS (Global Subwoofer Source) has a powerful (500W continuous<br />
on 4 Ohms) built-in PWM power amp, can give a maximum SPL of 132 dB/1m and goes down<br />
to 35 Hz. A passive (non-powered) version is also available. A photo-gallery illustrating this<br />
unit s potential better than any description can be found at the following URL:<br />
http://www.outline.it/IMG/products/GSS/index.htm<br />
D4-2K (DHD Series)<br />
New-generation two-unit rack mounting amplifier, the first in the new DHD digital range. Four<br />
channels with 530 W each on 4 Ohms (4 x 310 W on 8 Ohms) which only on request can<br />
have a 24dB/octave output filter. Thanks to this option, it s possible to power any two-way<br />
stereo system made up of satellites + a separate subwoofer with just one D4-2K, without<br />
requiring any expensive additional DSP units. The D4-2K uses cutting edge COM Pulse<br />
Modulation technology which, as well as ensuring remarkable power, gives acoustic<br />
performance similar to that of expensive hi-end amplifiers, but at a very interesting price. As is<br />
customary with <strong>Outline</strong> amps, the chassis of this new range is also extremely sturdy and<br />
complete with handles for a sure grip and therefore easy transport. Although they are 4-channel<br />
units, these amps weigh just 14.5 kg. Detailed technical specifications will be announced soon.<br />

COM. P.A.S.S.<br />
COMpact Polar Adjustable Sound System<br />
<strong>Outline</strong> will give detailed information on the world's first example of robotics applied to<br />
loudspeaker enclosures at ProLight+Sound 2005, before the official presentation, scheduled for<br />
London s PLASA expo.<br />
COM. P.A.S.S. - With the Compact Polar Adjustable Sound System, <strong>Outline</strong> has once again<br />
come up with a product for which the description unusual is definitely an understatement. It is<br />
a loudspeaker element intended to form vertical line arrays, but also able to be used as a standalone<br />
unit, like any other wide-range high performance enclosure.<br />
Its revolutionary feature consists in the fact that its horizontal and vertical dispersion can be<br />
remote controlled as required via software, with wide variation on both planes, once the<br />
enclosure has been positioned alone or in multiple when used for sound reinforcement.<br />
The angular variations possible are from 60° to 180° on the horizontal plane (even with<br />
asymmetric settings) and from 0° to 15° on the vertical plane. As well as this extraordinary<br />
possibility offered by each individual enclosure, a further adjustment system is included, which<br />
can also be remote controlled and enables to regulate the splay between the elements used to<br />
form line arrays.<br />
In spite of the seven active components and a sophisticated internal mechanism, these units<br />
are remarkably light and compact. As usual, <strong>Outline</strong> has applied for a patent for this product in<br />
Italy and abroad. To facilitate dispersion adjustment to the utmost, a laser system (for which a<br />
patent application has also been made) shows the aiming of the axes of each element s HF<br />
section and the limits of the horizontal coverage area.<br />
On the <strong>Outline</strong> stand (Hall 4.1 Stand C51) there will obviously also be the Butterfly Line Array<br />
which (as well as others already received) was recently granted US patent N° D500,306S for its<br />
design. A complete list of this system s patents can be found in a special area at the following<br />
