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), 3^rd 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.

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.’

32 ‘Butterflies’ in concert in Vietnam’s largest stadium

Hanoi (Vietnam), 10^th January 2010 – A Vertical Line Array Outline comprising 32 Butterfly CDH 483 Hi-Packs, supported by 16 SubTech 218, was chosen as the FOH system for “Happy New Year 2010”, a concert for 35,000 people staged in the country’s largest stadium: My Dinh National Stadium.

Sponsored by the Maritime Bank and organized by Vietnam’s VTV3 TV (also on the Web), the show attracted a vast audience thanks to performances by the country’s best-known artists: My Tam, Lam Truong, Dam Vinh Hung and Hong Nhung. A wide range of music genres was reproduced: pop, dance, hip-hop and country.

Vietnam’s Outline distributor, Fantasies Show Light of Hanoi, was also the rental company that had the task of providing and installing the Butterfly rig at My Dinh National Stadium.

The event’s FOH engineer, Mr. Nguyen The Ngoc, commented: “Among the best-known high-end line arrays, I think the Butterfly is also one of the fastest and easiest to install; its prediction software is very accurate and provides further support. I always feel very secure with this object in my hands.”

Control and power were courtesy of a Midas XL3 console, XTA processor and Outline T7 amplifiers.

Bearing in mind the number of concerts that have been scheduled for some time for the present year, Fantasies Show Light has just purchased twelve of Outline’s new Mantas, with 120° dispersion, a VLA weighing just 24 kg (52.9 pounds) mechanically compatible with the Butterfly, for front-fill applications, and able to push out 147 dB (peak SPL, 4 modules). The order also includes four Subtech 218 and ten DVS 15 (1x15” - 1x3”) multi-purpose enclosures, as well as four T7 power amplifiers.

The Vietnamese company, from January 30^th, will supply the Outlinearrays to reinforce the sound at “Rockstorm 2010“, the first of a series of nine mega-concerts for the year that has just begun.

The firm’s owner, Mr. Dinh Viet Hung, stated, “VTV3 needed to ensure all-round coverage of an audience of 35,000 people, but with a loudspeaker system that was compact, due to television broadcast requirements. Fortunately, the technology incorporated in the Butterfly also manages to satisfy these aspects too, as well as those involving FOH engineers; the result is everybody is always happy. We are waiting for them to consign us the new Mantas, which are very light weight and shall be used along with the Butterflies, specially in the concerts and the numerous average sized applications, for which we are called in increasingly frequently.”

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.”
