Outline and Production Resource Group Announce PartnershipOutline S.r.l. and US subsidiary, Outline North America have entered into an agreement with Production Resource Group (PRG), one of the largest production services companies in North America. PRG handles all aspects of live event presentations including lighting, video effects, scenery, and sound for Broadway productions including Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark and major live television presentations. PRG also provides extensive audio systems, stage design, and lighting effect systems for tours and events such as Elton John and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The center of activities for this new relationship will be at PRG's Las Vegas facility, where a fully complemented turn-key system of Outline GTO, GTO-SUBS, Butterfly, MANTAS, DBS18-2 Subs, and recently introduced LipFill-0182 will be inventoried and staged for immediate deployment. A joint launch of the GTO and Outline partnership is planned to coincide with the LDI Show and Parnelli Awards in Las Vegas. A Stageline Mobile Stage, with a full Outline GTO rig, will be set up on the grounds of the PRG complex. Transportation to and from the PRG compound from the Las Vegas Convention Center will be provided as a courtesy to invitees and those wishing to experience GTO. "Timing could not be better to announce this relationship," says Tim Brennan, PRG vice president. "Many of our clients, production managers, and contemporaries with whom we have a professional trading relationship will be in town for LDI. This is the perfect opportunity for us to introduce them to the quality and unique engineering expertise of Outline and its GTO." "We are very excited to enter into this relationship with PRG," says Giorgio Biffi, CEO of Outline S.r.l. "This comes at a very exciting time for our company as we continue our global growth initiative with the addition of many of the world's largest premier sound and production companies. PRG is a wonderful and welcomed addition to our family of Outline partners." PRG is joined by the recent addition of GABISOM, the largest production company in South America. The GTO series of line array speakers, offering a combination of high-power output in a compact and relatively lightweight cabinet, feature Outline's patented Butterfly design. The cabinets deliver clear, non-colored, high-SPL audio capable of bringing listening environment quality to the live event experience, the company says. When coupled in an array, GTO's V-shaped front baffle allows individual sound sources to be positioned much closer together than in conventional line-source systems. This facilitates superior acoustical coupling between high-frequency modules, producing a smooth yet extended HF response. It also creates the ideal unbroken baffle shape through an array, which minimizes diffraction and deterioration of the mid-high frequencies, contributing to the far-field performance of the system. A GTO line array system is capable of delivering a true visceral response to the audience while maintaining clarity. "I have seen the incredible growth of PRG over the years and am very pleased to have them help lead the charge for our large format line array, the GTO, in the US," says Outline's North America senior vice president, partner, and managing director Tom Bensen."We appreciate PRG's confidence in our company and their shared vision for the future as we begin this relationship."
