Outline has announced the Stadia 28 constant curvature array, designed for outdoor applications.
Featuring an excellent performance:price ratio, Stadia 28 is a medium-throw system for permanent outdoor installations, ideal for sound reinforcement in stadiums, theme parks, leisure facilities, tourist attractions and public spaces.
Its strong point is its weight:power ratio, which enables a single enclosure, weighing 21kg (46.2lb) to deliver 139dB SPL, using two 8-inch mid/woofers and a compression driver with a 3-inch diaphragm – all in neodymium. The system operates in bi-amp configuration.
The dispersion angle of 90° x 22.5° enables the formation of horizontal or vertical arrays with no less than 135° x 90° using just six cabinets, guaranteeing coverage in any context, as well as versatility. Stadia 28 hardware is designed for safe long-lasting installation: the ten mounting points in extremely light top-grade anodized Ergal are fixed to the internal load-bearing structure, manufactured entirely in stainless steel.
IP55 protection rating is ensured by a three-layer coating in elastoplastic material (OutSIDE Coating Technology – proprietary to Outline) along with a series of sophisticated ideas introduced in Outline’s manufacturing process.
‘The lines of the cabinet, combined with the waveguide designed and optimised specifically for this type of application thanks to the use of simulation software of the finished elements, enable to create real “sectors” of acoustic projection that can be configured with extreme flexibility, thus meeting the coverage requirements of any kind of venue,’ says Outline Senior Loudspeaker System Designer, Francesco Simeoni.
‘Particular effort was taken with the design of the cabinets (with material such as Ergal, stainless steel, compound polyurea coating, anti-UV treatment, lines and outlets for the run-off of water and many other construction details) and with the choice of the components, focussed on the water/weather-proof characteristics to ensure the system remains fully operational through time and in any situation, even under severe conditions. In the majority of standard applications, the internal mechanical load-bearing structure enables the installation of arrays without any expensive complex external mechanical structures being required.’
