Mini-COM.P.A.S.S.
Mini-COM.P.A.S.S. is a self powered bi-amped loudspeaker cabinet that can be used as stand alone or part of a vertical line array. The cabinet utilises two D.P.R.W.G. wave guides developed by OUTLINE for the 'Butterfly' line array against all its contemporaries. This ultra compact loudspeaker system which weights in at only 23 kg has 2 x 1.75 compression drivers and 4 x 5 mid woofers. Mini-COM.P.A.S.S. is the only compact VLA with variable, asymmetrical horizontal directivity.
Steps of 15 degrees can be set between 60 to 150 degrees manually, thus allowing the operator to direct energy where it is required. There are sixteen possible combinations of horizontal coverage (including asymmetric ones) which can be exploited according to the audience and acoustic properties of the environment in which the sound has to be reinforced. For example, in acoustically difficult venues, it is very useful to avoid reflections from walls. Because the sound only goes directly where it's needed. Moving the 'wings' of the Mini-COM.P.A.S.S. in sixteen possible ways means changing the acoustic radiation conditions each time. No problem, at this point an ingenious but simple sensor-based recognition apparatus comes into play, 'informing' the DSP of the position of the 'wings', and on-axis response is automatically corrected in real time.
Mini-COM.P.A.S.S. is equipped with Outline iMode Technology, the next step in self-powered loudspeaker development, processing and control. It's a truly 'Intelligent' Platform for advanced loudspeaker control. In addition to utilizing a powerful switching amplifier, the system provides complete and accurate loudspeaker control and reporting of all system parameters within each component, and across the entire system as a whole. Through the use of advanced digital signal processing (DSP) and a built-in web server, users can control the sound system via dedicated iPad app. With standard IP-based communication, the iMode platform is truly future-proof, controllable via tablet, smartphone, and any devices of tomorrow. iMode operates on a Linux operating system with an Outline-customized kernel. Chosen for its extreme stability and compatibility, the operating system provides a robust foundation for iMode's advanced functions.

Subtech 218
Subtech 218 is a loudspeaker system suited to high-quality sound reinforcement of low and ultra-low frequencies by the use of two by 46 cm. woofers with a special aligner to keep their resonance frequency steady through the years.
Loading is of the phase inversion type with the enclosure tuned at a rather low frequency by a long port with a large surface area. Allowing to obtain a wide passband and a considerable extension towards the bottom end of the frequency response. The performance is very high thanks to the careful choice of the reflex alignment and the construction of the cabinet. The SubTech 218 has a useable frequency range at -10 dB of from 26 Hz to 500 Hz, while the response is just +/-3 dB from 35 Hz to 350 Hz. The max sensitivity is 105 dB in half space and the maximum continuous AES power, 1500W gives 134 dBSPL in free-field and 137 dBSPL in half-space, while peak values even reach 143 dBSPL. The front of the cabinet is protected by an anti-resonant steel grille covered with sound-transparent foam.
The rectangular cabinet is built in high quality 15mm. Baltic plywood, strengthened by the complex internal structure and suitably positioned internal bracing to eliminate any resonance of the cabinet`s sides. The black outer finish is in high quality scratch-resistant paint. The cabinet has 6 fast flying points, that makes vertical or horizontal hanging of numerous units simultaneously extremely easy and reliable, by using the appropriate optional accessories. The front of the enclosure has recessed sockets for fitting an optional trolley, for handling and protecting the front during transport even on uneven surfaces. Ten recessed integrated handles in the side panels of the cabinet are used for a positive grip during handling.
Features
- High efficiency subwoofer with two 18" long-throw woofers with special aligner to maintain performance through the years.
- Very high power handling (6000 Watts AES peak) and maximum sound pressure (143 dBSPL peak at 1 metre). Also available in high-power self-powered format with the same possible standard performances.
- The woofers are fitted in separate chambers to ensure operation even in the event of the breakage of one component it is possible to connect two different signals, stereo and/or the use of two separate amplification channels.
- Equipped with Outline`s proprietary "Fast Hanger" hanging system for fast reasonably priced flying.
- The cabinet is internally braced to ensure the utmost sturdiness, free from harmful sound "colouring" due to resonance an optional trolley with sturdy smooth-running wheels facilitates transport, even on relatively uneven surfaces.
Applications
- No-nonsense use in "live" concerts of all sizes, floor or stage mounted and combined with other units of the same type for sound reinforcement of low and ultralow frequencies.
- High quality permanent indoor or outdoor installations. An ideal match for all Outline loudspeaker systems.

Used Outline Audio
Since 1973 Outline have been applying that Italian passion and design flair to the science of designing loudspeaker systems and associated technologies.
The roots of our company lie with our founder Guido Noselli, who as a young musician was dissatisfied with the audio quality being delivered to his audiences.
His ambition for sonic improvement coincided with the emergence of the disco scene of the mid-70s and the subsequent demand for powerful, full-range loudspeaker systems for the Italian ‘super clubs’ of the day.
Along the way, Outline has pioneered a number of products and technologies that enhance our own products as well those of our contemporaries.
A good example is the ‘ET System’, a computer-controlled turntable which greatly simplifies the measurement of the polar dispersion characteristics of loudspeakers. Designed originally for in-house use only, this remarkable device (upgraded to the ET 250-3D in 2008) has since been purchased by many of the world’s best-known loudspeaker manufacturers as well as various universities, institutes and multinational companies working within the field of acoustics.

Efficiency Rating: Level of sound output measured at a prescribed distance with a standard input power. Efficiency rating standard is 1 watt (2.83V at 8 ohms) at 1 meter over a specified frequency range and is measured in decibels.
Equalization: Loosely, any type of relative frequency adjustment. Specifically, the process of changing the frequency balance of an electrical signal to alter the acoustical output.
Equalizer: A component designed to alter the frequency balance of an audio signal. Equalizers may be graphic, parametric, or a combination of both.
Fade: A gradual increase in audio, i.e. a fade-up, or a gradual decrease in audio, i.e. a fade-down.
Feedback: The transmission of current or voltage from the output of a device back to the input, where it interacts with the input signal to modify operation of the device. Feedback is positive when it’s in phase with the input and negative when it’s out of phase.
FM: Frequency Modulated.
Frequency: The number of cycles (vibrations) per second. In audio, audible frequencies commonly range from 20 to 20,000 cycles per second (Hz). In video, frequency is used to define the image resolution. Low-frequency video images depict large objects or images. Higher frequencies depict smaller objects (finer details.
Frequency Response: A measure of what frequencies can be reproduced and how accurately they are reproduced. A measurement of 20 to 20,000 Hz, 3dB means those frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hz can be reproduced no more than 3 dB above or below a reference frequency level.
Full-Range: A speaker designed to reproduce the full range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) of audio frequencies.
Gain: Increase in level or amplitude.
Gooseneck: This refers to a microphone with a flexible neck that is most frequently attached to a podium or lectern. It is designed to allow the speaker to raise or lower the microphone to a suitable height.
Graphic Equalizer: A type of equalizer with sliding controls that creates a pattern representing a graph of the frequency-response changes. Raising sliders boosts the affected frequencies lowering sliders cuts (attenuates) the affected frequencies.
HDCP: High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Created by Intel, HDCP is used with HDTV signals over DVI and HDMI connections and on D-Theater D-VHS recordings to prevent unauthorized duplication of copyright material.
HDR: Hard-Drive Recorder. Device that uses a computer hard drive to store compressed digital audio and video signals.
High Pass: A filter that passes high frequencies, and attenuates low frequencies. Same as low cut.
Hz: Hertz or cycles per second. Something that repeats a cycle once each second moves at a rate of 1 Hz.
Incue/Inq/In-Point: These words all refer to the initial few seconds of audio signifying the beginning of the production.
Integrated Amplifier: A combination preamp and amplifier.
Impedance: A measure of the impediment to the flow of alternating current, measured in ohms at a given frequency. Larger numbers mean higher resistance to current flow.
KHz: Kilohertz or one thousand Hz.
Lavaliere: A small microphone that attaches to clothing, allowing the speaker to have a hands-free presentation.
Line Array: A group of speakers that have been arrayed or "built up" in the vertical or horizontal plane, which allow for a highly consistent sound field. A Line Array is perfect for medium to large audiences.
Line-Level (Low-Level): A level of electrical signals too low to make the average speaker move sufficiently. Amplifiers receive line-level signals and amplify them to speaker level.
lockout: The final words of a segment used to signify the production’s conclusion.
Low Pass: A filter that lets low frequencies go through but doesn’t let high frequencies go through. Same as high cut.
MHz: Megahertz, or 1 million Hz.
Midbass: The middle of the bass part of the frequency range, from approximately 50 to 100 Hz (upper bass would be from 100 to 200 Hz). Also used as a term for loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce both bass and midrange frequencies.
Midrange: The middle of the audio frequency range. Also used as a term for loudspeaker drivers designed to reproduce this range.
Mixer: This is the unit in which audio signals are directed from. A mixer provides for both mic and line input combinations while allowing you to control one or more outputs.
