1. SAFETY REGULATIONS

Welcome to the Outline world! Congratulations on
choosing the Outline V10/V15 kit as your sound sy­stem. We suggest you dedicate some time to rea-

ding this manual in order to get to know this product
in depth and ensure you make the most of its use.

It is important to remain at a suitable distance from
the sound reinforcement system, particularly when
it is used at high spl.
The V10 and V15 kits have been designed for me­dium-small venues, but due to their high perfor­mance, they could cause hearing damage.

The safety precautions to follow are:

• The installation of the kits requires that the per­sons involved are aware of the safety procedures
to follow in this kind of situations;

• It is not recommended to use any material not
expressly provided for by Outline

• Protect the electrical parts dedicated to amplifi­cation, especially in case of risk of contact with
rain or high humidity;

• Safeguard and protect the point-sources of the
kit in case of prolonged contact with rain or hu­midity.

Outline declines any and all responsibility for da­mage or faulty operation caused by using the kits
in a different way from that expressly foreseen and

specied:

• uncertified or unauthorized modification to any
part of the system can damage the system, com­promising its real efficiency and safety

• always make sure to check the conformity and
good condition of the stands, tripods, supports,
support surfaces and everything concerning the
stability and safety of the system;

• it is advisable to carry out periodic inspections/
checks and any necessary maintenance of the
systems, cables and the amplifiers before using
them. In the event of wear or accidental damage
of the components, Outline will provide specific
support for their replacement;

• frequently check the conditions and correct ope­ration of the tripods, wheelboards and other
fixing accessories.

Since the system is equipped with loudspeakers/
transducers that produce a static magnetic field, it is
strongly advisable to keep any electronic devices or
magnetic media of any type (computers, hard disks,
magnetic card, etc) at a suitable distance (approxi­mately 1 metre) from the loudspeakers.

1.1. DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIALS

The product is designed and manufactured
with high quality materials and components,
which can be recycled and reused. When this

symbol of the crossed “wheelie” bin is atta­ched to a product, it means that the product is cove­red by the European Directive 2012/19/EU and sub­sequent amendments. This means that the product

2. SYSTEMS’ DESCRIPTION

The V10 and V15 kits are the result of an in-depth
study made to obtain the most extensive and detailed
possible coverage, in full Outline style, maintaining
a compact, optimized, easy-to-use and to transport
system.

More specifically, these sound systems are cha-

racterized by an integrated and autonomous ampli-

2.1. VEGAS 10 AND VEGAS 15

Two point source models are used as the systems’
satellites: Vegas 10 for the V10 kit and Vegas 15 for
the V15 kit.
These two-way loudspeaker systems from Outline
Vegas series differ in the dimensions of the mid-low
frequency woofer (10’’ or 15’’). Indeed, for the high
frequencies, they both mount the same 1.75’’ com­pression driver loaded on a rotatable horn. This fea­ture enables to use the enclosure both vertically and
horizontally depending on the needs.

The Baltic birch plywood cabinet, with two bass­reflex ports of the same material, allows to achie­ve an excellent performance by the speakers, free
from internal vibrations and resonance that could
compromise the final result. Its particular shape,
together with the rotatable horn mentioned above,
enables it to be also used on the ground as a stage
monitor.
The cabinet is painted with a layer of black polyurea
paint to protect the enclosure from wear over time.
The front grille, with sound-transparent foam, gua­rantees protection against dust (and other external
agents) for the speakers and internal components.
The pole mount socket enables to use the enclosure
with poles and tripods. More info in chapter 9.

The internal passive crossover filter, manufactured
with very low resistance metallized polypropylene
capacitors, guarantees the best possible sound per­formance.
The horizontal dispersion of 80/90° and the vertical
dispersion of 70° ensure an even and complete co­verage (see chapter 5). The frequency response for
the two Vegas models ranges between the crossover
values chosen respect to the Sub118 SP and 20 kHz.

2.2. SUB 118 - SP12/SP23

Sub118-SP12/SP23 is the self-powered subwoofer
for the reproduction of the low frequencies in the V10
and V15 kits. Its single 18’’ neodymium direct radia­tion woofer with dedicated bass reflex ports ensures
a frequency response down to 35 Hz.
Its design and low overall weight (47 kg) allow easy
maneuverability. The Baltic Birch plywood cabinet in
fact, in addition to ensuring resistance and control
even at high vibration levels, has a number of hand­les that can also be used to lock the subwoofer with
the wheelboard for transport.
The curved front grille guarantees additional pro­tection of the woofer, without compromising in any
way its acoustic performance and without interefe­ring with the ergonomics of the handles. Lastly, the
M20 threaded points allow the use of the subwoofer
with loudspeaker poles for Outline satellites such as
Vegas 10 or Vegas 15.

As already mentioned, the amplifiers are directly inte­grated into the two Sub118 SP models. The amplifier
module is completely autonomous and designed to
be immediately ready for use (plug & play) once con­nected to the power and wired to the Vegas satellites.
The Powercon True 1 connector guarantees stability
and security against any small infiltration of external
agents (IP 65) between power input and output.

Input and output power: input with Powercon True 1 connector and IP65 degree
of protection, with an output to further power up to three kits in parallel at 220

The internal digital processor (DSP) integrated into
the Sub118 SP amplification system, allows control
and routing of the input signal to the relative output
channels, following precise frequency cuts between
Vegas and Sub118. As already mentioned, besides the
control of the amplifier gain through the relative po­tentiometer, the DSP allows the choice of four diffe­rent presets (chapter 5).
Moreover, for more expert users, it is possible to
obtain some further controls over the processing
system, by connecting directly to the DSP through a
special PC and USB cable (type B / type A) - if the
PC has more USB ports it will be possible to connect
two or more kits at the same time - as shown in the
previous chapters. Before making this connection,
you need to download and install the
software (download at armonia.powersoft.it).

Afterwards, when clicking on it, a window appears where it is possible to modify the following parameters:

i

• Input EQ - it is possible to choose between different types of filters, for input signal equalization indepen­dent from the selected preset, ideal for circumstances and venues with particularly complex acoustics;

• Overall gain - level regulation independent from the level regulation on the amplifier, can be useful in case
you want to set a digital “limit” of the final output volume;

• Delay and Polarity (up to 340ms) - delay and polarity change of the whole kit intended as a unique system
and therefore useful in case of allignment with another system or kit.

It will be possible to modify the mix between the two inputs for the V10 kit, by choosing between stereo
(default) and mono mix in the “Scheme” section.

The great peculiarity of the two kits is that when you
have a power supply and an analog input signal, they
are immediately ready for use in plug & play mode.
Having analyzed the various controls available on the
amplifier and its DSP, it is important to underline that
the whole system is controllable and settable even

needs and tastes, but in the absence of necessary

The four default presets (shared by both kits), aim to
satisfy the needs of end users for different circum­stances and venues.
It is however important to know the intended use for
each of the two kits, which changes depending on the
type and charachteristics of the venue (open or clo­sed spaces, reverberation level, acoustic treatment,
parallel or slanting walls, etc.

Therefore the environmental and consequently acou­stic variables are many and often not modifiable.
However, the user can pay proper attention to the
positioning and aiming at the venue of the satellite,
always taking into consideration their horizontal and
vertical dispersion (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) and possible
comb filtering effects at their crossing point.

Fig. 1 : incorrect horizontal positioning and aiming

When placing the satellites close to each other, at­tention must be paid to their aiming, in order to re­spect their horizontal and vertical dispersion angles
as much as possible. If (Fig. 1) these are on the same
plane and side by side and equally oriented, the for­mation of an area characterized by inhomogeneities
over the entire coverage area will be inevitable, fol­lowing the succession of destructive sums and peaks
over the whole frequency spectrum (

comb filtering

).

In case the two satellites are places on the same plane
and aimed according to their (nominal) horizontal
dispersion angle, the final result will be as
optimized as possible. It is however
necessary to take into account that
the omnidirectional dispersion of the
low frequencies may cause their sums
and cancellations. To have a precise idea
about the whole frequency spectrum behaviour
it is possible to make a simulation with Outline pro­prietary software

Open Array 2.

Fig. 2 : incorrect vertical positioning and aiming

You will obtain the same effect in case you place them
one upon the other (fig. 2), in this case in relation to
their vertical dispersion. Their behaviour will be diffe­rent from that of line arrays, which have waveguides
and horn loadings and are made to be combined with
each other.

In the example above, with a V10 kit in a space of 15
m x 10 m, it is possible to see that the most even co­verage through the whole venue can be obtained by
placing the two satellites at 1.7 metres from Sub118
SP23 and at 0.9 metres respect to the seated audien­ce with an inclination of 15° respect to the central
point (Z axis).

OpenArray2

will offer a simulation that is as close to

reality as possible (in free-field).

Logically, the more distance there is between the sa­tellites, the more the aiming should be made inwards.
On the contrary, when reducing this distance, the ai­ming should be made outwards (see the two exam­ples). In any case the two sources will cross at a cer­tain point which mostly probably won’t feature any
evident or compromising cancellations.

The aim of the V10 and V15 kits, designed as mobile
type systems, is to meet different types of needs (wi­thin the limits of their extensive potential). Obviously
nothing excludes their use in a fixed installation. The
user has the possibility to perform different types of
installations depending on the space available.
Outline offers, separately from the elements included
in the two kits (therefore to be requested specifical-

a more extensive coverage. SUB118 SP-23 with the

Bass Boost

preset will deliver an excellent level of low

frequencies for the four satellites.

useful accessory, compared to the traditional speaker
poles (included in the V15 kit), is the wall bracket. The
wall brackets provided for the two Vegas models can
be very useful in fixed installations and can be an ideal
solution for indoor venues where, due to limited space,
it is necessary to place the loudspeakers on the wall
to ensure a more even coverage. For small venues it
is also possible to use one tripod with a two-speakers
adaptor (

suitable for Vegas 10 only

).

•

Fixing Point

- Already included by default in all
Vegas models, these fixing points for the wall
brackets allow the mobility of the satellite in
order to point it in the horizontal or vertical po­sition as designated by the project. Below you
will find some examples of wall brackets and
their related item codes, to purchase separa­tely from your local dealer or distributor.

7. PERIODIC CONTROLS

All the components of the system (lodspeakers, am­plifiers, cables, rigging hardware etc.) require a num­ber of periodic controls to be performed at regular
time intervals to be decided by the persons in charge.
Some functional checks must be performed before
and after each use to confirm the working conditions

7.1. FUNCTIONAL CHECKS

of each element.
In-depth controls must be performed ar regular time
intervals (for example, every 6 or 12 months), after
prolonged use (e.g. after a tour or a festival) or after
particular working conditions (incorrect use, wrong
rigging, drop etc.)

It is strongly recommended to check the following
parameters of the electroacoustic components after
each use:

• general state of the satellites and subwoofers
(strongly recommended) ;

• integrated hardware (pole mount sockets and
threaded points as well as the stability of the
pole mounts);

• security of the power supplies (generators,

The aim of these check is to guarantee the best possible performance and safety of the system from all points
of view. Any discrepancies found must be corrected. If these discrepancies compromise the safety of the sy­stem, it must be immediately dismissed.

mains supply, electric panels, cables);

• system cabling to the integrated amplifier (noi­se check of each single amplifier channel, ac­curacy of the selected presets and connections,
souce connections etc.), to be performed both
through listening and, where possible, through
measurements;

• others.

7.2. PERIODIC CHECKS

The in-depth checks are aimed to discover eventual
causes of possible problems that coud occur over
time and to check the parameters that are not mea­surable during everyday use. These checks include: :

• cables, connectors’ conformity, pinouts, cuts,
tears, cables’ safety etc.;

• amplifiers and their electrical and thermic
safety (always verify the amplifier does not
overheat during prolonged use)

• frequency response check of the electroacou­stic components (using a measurement mi­crophone and software that can measure the
frequency response of the loudspeakers, in or­der to compare them to the reference curves);

• control of other electroacoustic components
(absence of vibrations, integrity of the panels

and so on);

• integity check of all components, absence of
deformations, cracks and roundnesses, signs
of damage) ;

• check of all accessories (wheelboards, tripods,
poles etc.)

The aim of these checks is to have a ready-to-use
system at any time. The results of these checks must
be reported on a paper or electronic sheet like the
one at the end of this manual in the appendix.
In case of difformities it will be necessary to proceed
with reparation which must be done by skilled per­sonnel only. In case of doubts it is mandatory to con­tact an Outline’s representative, distributor or Oultine
headquarters directly.
