Following demos at the
manufacturer’s headquarters in Brescia, Italy, during which company
representatives from South Korean rental house Blessway saw that the system
maintained stable response, even at high-power outputs and that it was also
very easy to operate, the company purchased the first large Outline GTO C-12
system to be sold into South Korea.
A Blessway spokesperson explains, “We were aware of the Outline system through
marketing material and exhibits in Korea and, when we make purchases, we take
the quality of both customer service and the product itself into great
consideration.”
Outline CEO, Giorgio Biffi comments, “Our South Korean distributor recently
brought this important sound reinforcement company to our main facility near
Brescia, and we chose the nearby multi-function Palabrescia Theatre as the
venue for conducting extensive listening demos and evaluation processes with
our products.”
The sale was in fact facilitated by
Outline’s Seoul-headquartered Korean distributor, Hebsiba Multimedia Co, Ltd, a
major A/V company and one of the country’s top A/V construction and consultancy
firms. As well as traditional sound reinforcement, Hebsiba also provides
clients solutions for environmental acoustics and caters for the rental market,
broadcasting stations, recording studios, internet facilities, exhibitions, and
more.
Blessway intends using the new
system, which includes 24 Outline GTO C-12 main arrays and two GTO-DF downfill
cabinets, to cater for medium-sized local events and indoor concerts, and is
considering acquiring more C-12 cabinets as the company continues to expand.
The GTO C-12 is derived from
Outline’s larger-format, dual-15-inch GTO cabinet, generating output power
surpassed only by its larger sibling from an enclosure that is smaller and 30%
lighter. From arenas to 500-seat theatres, the GTO C-12 is equally at home
delivering maximum power for rock concerts or crystal-clear sound for
spoken-word events.
A Blessway spokesperson added, “We’re planning to expand our main system by
adding more GTO C-12s and using iSM 212 and iSM 115 stage monitors, in order to
cater for larger events in arenas and stadiums, and are also very interested in
small (Outline) speaker systems, such as the Eidos 265 and Mini-Compass.”
Biffi adds, “We are very pleased that Blessway has joined Outline’s worldwide
‘family’ of users.”
A
Blessway spokesperson concluded,
“Outline responds promptly and professionally to any questions we have and
Hebsiba has also been excellent in providing solutions to any problems we
experience, even visiting our rental site frequently.”
