The Vittoriale Amphitheatre sold-out. An Outline audio system for the only Italian date on the US artist’s world tour
Gardone Riviera (Brescia, Italy), 3rd August 2010 – Michael Bolton, one of the last thirty years’ most popular pop-rock artists, definitely chose a breathtaking venue for the only Italian date on his world tour: the amphitheatre at the “Vittoriale degli Italiani” (Shrine of Italian Victories), which overlooks Lake Garda (the largest in Italy) and was Italian poet Gabriele d’Annunzio’s favourite place and his home until his death.
The US singer/songwriter – who has sold 53 million records, won six American Music Awards, two Grammys and even has a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame –will end an exceptional season in December, after holding no less than 110 concerts.
In Gardone Riviera, where Bolton presented his latest album, One world one love (released in September 2009), the Vittoriale’s amphitheatre was sold-out and an Outline audio system was used.
The local press commented: “A perfect performance that ended to triumphant applause and will remain in the hearts of a lot of people for a long time”.
Cipiesse Produzioni per lo Spettacolo was the Brescia rental company that supplied and installed the sound reinforcement system for Bolton’s show.
The main rig comprised 6+6 Outline Butterfly Hi-packs and 2+2 Mantas modules for down-fill (120°), hung below the main Butterfly arrays, as well as 5 Subtech 218, installed on the ground for the reproduction of infra-low frequencies.Five ultra-slim (self-powered) H.A.R.D. 115 SP monitors were positioned on stage and the set-up’s processors and power amps were also Outline.
INDONESIA : Located in Embong Malang in eastern Java, the Empire Palace is a multi-functional venue that is used for events as diverse as worship, wedding parties and corporate product launches.
The management team recently consulted Surabaya-based Melodia Sound & Lighting System on a new sound system to meet its many requirements.
A new Outline Audio MiniCOM.P.A.S.S system has ensured that live performance, playback and speech reinforcement have all been greatly improved. Twelve MiniCOM.P.A.S.S cabinets have been ceiling suspended in LR configurations and supplemented by a two per side Subtech 218SP subwoofer system, while delays are provided by Outline DVS12 speakers. Array configurations were determined using Outline Diva software, and this modeling helped to determine the eventual speaker positions chosen by Melodia systems engineer Budihardjo Sutanto and his team. In addition, Melodia Sound & Lighting System’s supplied Outline H.A.R.D 115SP stage monitors together with YAMAHA PM5D and IM8 consoles for FOH and monitors respectively.
‘We used and asymmetrical horizontal coverage pattern to change the reverberant nature of the venue’
Mr. Sutanto explained. ‘Diva works very well for us, and the services that are now conducted in the Malang Church have been a tremendous success, for which the hotel management team has congratulated us on the system that we supplied and installed. The MiniCOM.P.A.S.S system is a compact, lightweight and active speaker, which provides high-fidelity sound characteristics. Venues here in Indonesia really like it as it offers a plug-and-play solution with an ease of set-up’
Melodia Sound & Lighting System is a division of Melodia Musik, serving the entertainment, event production, and commercial installation markets throughout Indonesia.
VIETNAM: Sponsored by Mobifone, Rock Storm 2010 entertained rock fans across Vietnam with a host of national artists, including Pentatonic, Final Stage, Nuranium, Rosewood, Microwave and Thai Thuy Linh. As it did in 2009, the 10-city tour kicked off in the chilly December air of Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium, before going on to Hai Phong, Thai Nguyen, Vinh, Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Dong Nai, Can Tho and finally Ho Chi Minh City. In all, it reached more than 200,000 fans and millions of radio listeners and TV viewers.
Vietnam hasn’t previously attracted such numbers to outdoor concerts, and with Rock Storm 2010 came growing pains like crowd control and Black Market ticket availability. However the tour has developed a lot since 2009 in terms of sound and lighting, and the set changes were in particular slick and well rehearsed. Rock Storm’s show sound director was renowned Japanese engineer, Masaaki Azuma, who has handled sound control for famous international shows, including Madonna, Oasis, Under World, Metallica, and Fuji Rock Festival.
An Outline Butterfly line array system consisting of CDH483 Hi-Packs and supplemented by SubTech 218 subwoofers was used at some of the concerts, as Fantasy Show & Light’s Dinh Viet Hug explained: ‘We needed to provide all round coverage for up to 35,000 people at these stadiums, but the television broadcasters insisted that the PA system had to be compact. Fortunately, the Butterfly system provides high SPLs and even coverage, and is relatively small in size so that it doesn’t block the broadcasters view of the stage. We are looking forward to taking stock of the new Outline Mantas system, which can be used alongside the Butterfly speakers as supplementary fills or on their own for smaller events.’
‘Butterflies’ at the service of the world’s major leaders and CEOs, fromTony Blairto Michael Dell
Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), January 24/27 2010 – Among the corporate events of considerable international importance, Outline informs that its loudspeaker systems were used to amplify the 2010 edition of the Global Competitiveness Forum, held at the Four Seasons Hotel, in the Kingdom Centre (winner of an award as the best skyscraper of the world for design).
Founded by the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) in 2006, the Global Competitiveness Forum, a meeting held annually, is regularly transmitted by TV broadcastersAl Jazeera, NBC and Bloomberg, as well as the world’s best-known news media.
Through the years, the GCF has attracted thousands of eminent political leaders, multinational company CEOs, ministers, government officials, intellectuals and academicians from every corner of the globe, with the sole aim of meeting and exchanging ideas.
The event’s mission is to increase awareness and enthusiasm on the challenges of competitiveness, critically assessing its aspects in relation to international trade, innovation, the environment (new forms of energy), development of human resources and sustainability; in short, at GCF 2010, talk focussed on the consequences that determine the fact of “becoming competitive” on a global scale.
Among the most illustrious speakers, Tony Blair (UK Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007), Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Inc., Jeffrey R. Immelt, Chief Executive Officer of General Electric, John Chambers, Chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems, James Wolfensohn, 9thPresident of the World Bank Group, Robert Greifeld, Chief Executive Officer of the NASDAQ OMX Group, Alessandro Profumo, Chief Executive Officer of the UniCredit Group and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Bank Austria, Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman of Pininfarina S.p.A., Enrico D’Onofrio, Corporate General Manager of MV Agusta, Daniel Esty, Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law and Policy at Yale University, Delos M. Cosgrove M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of the Cleveland Clinic, Stephen D. Pryor, CEO of ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Glenn Lowry, Director MOMA (the Museum of Modern Art, NY) and many other outstanding personalities.
Due to the event’s importance at international level, Events AVP, whose chairman is Mr. Sharif Tabbara – exclusive Outline distributor for Jordan – was selected, as it is a company with the necessary experience for supplying the sound reinforcement system and audio equipment necessary for the multiple applications required in situations of this type.
Moreover, in November 2009, Events AVP – again with Outline material – was called in for the sound reinforcement of another equally prestigious event, the World Economic Forum in Dubai.
As far as the audio at GFC 2010 was concerned, sound reinforcement in the conference hall (50 x 40 x 9 metres), involved the use of just 6+6 Butterfly Hi-Packs and 2+2 Subtech 218 SP. Control and power were courtesy of a YAMAHA M7CL console, XTA processor and Outline T series amplifiers.
As monitors, the illustrious speakers alternating on stage had at their disposal two compact Outline Micra II SP enclosures, whereas six units were used on front-fill duty to cover the first rows of seats.
The rooms allocated to interviews by Al Jazeera, NBC and Bloomberg were equipped with six more Micra II SP, whereas four Outline DVS 12 enclosures (in pairs) were used to reinforce the sound in other two halls (each seating sixty people), hosting the academicians and university professors.
Audio chief and FOH engineer, Carlo Gennaro, commented: “In this case, there was no need to work at 135 dB, but to cover the audience perfectly with a very ‘well-mannered’ SPL. There again, we had no alternative, considering the position of the microphones compared to the PA. But, as I’ve repeated for years, with a minimum of energy, the Butterfly gives a wonderful intelligibility – it almost seems to ‘breathe’, and it doesn’t matter at what distance. It goes exactly where I point it and you can feel the sound ‘in your face’. I give the merit for this to its waveguide, one of the few that works superbly…in fact, I’ll go as far as to put in writing a thought I have in common with several of my colleagues: on the world market, there are numerous line arrays, but on the ‘mid-high’ frequencies there are only two items able to give the same performance are this device …”
Cyprus’ coolest club has been kitted out with a state-of-the-art “Mantas” Outlinearray
Outline’s distributor Mr. Zacharia said his favourite part of the sound system is…
“enjoying the absolute speed and accuracy of the Outline MANTAS sound, which was not only pushes the sound to really high levels but is also able to manage quieter tones.”
Owner Mr. Frantzesko Hadjimichael said:
“I’m really impressed. It’s the first time in my life I can enjoy a super-clear sound which allows every detail to be heard. Whether I stand two metres in front of the speaker or go 30 metres away, the average power which I feel is almost unchangeable.”
