Promising to ‘get the best from your event’, Story Event Engineering has provided audiovisual facilities and technology for event and location organisers throughout the Netherlands for more than 25 years. With a portfolio covering large outdoor festivals to corporate events, theatre tours and intimate classical concerts, the company operates a comprehensive stock of lighting, sound and video equipment, plus innovative IT solutions – recently adding Outline’s Newton multi-source audio processor to its inventory.
Martin van Kouwen is a sales specialist at Ampco Flashlight Sales – the Outline Newton distributor for the BeNeLux markets: ‘Outline’s recently developed Newton is a ground-breaking product for advanced audio processing, which, due to its characteristics and quality, is ideally suited to audio professionals who place great importance in quality,’ he says.
Those professionals now include Michael Story, who founded Story Event Engineering with Egbert Story. The company’s clientele sets the bar high, with audio processing now meeting the newest and highest standards, and the company has met these expectations by purchasing an Outline Newton 16+8 processor, which immediately went on the road, playing a prominent role in recent concerts by Dutch diva Willeke Alberti.
Newton combines WFIR filtering technology, multi-format audio signal routing, simultaneous multiple standard conversion and digital signal synchronisation in a single 1U-high chassis. ‘With the WFIR filters, the control can be optimally and perfectly personalised,’ says Michael Story. ‘I can therefore now create any sound, and that makes Newton a perfect professional tool.’
From its base in Alphen in the Dutch province of Gelderland, and with a crew of more than 20 passionate professionals, Story Event Engineering has consistently aimed at making clients happy and ensuring spectators a truly emotional listening experience. ‘Our ability to do this is not only demonstrated by our track record and our loyal clients, but also by the fact that manufacturers ask us to think along with them on the development of even better equipment and solutions.’
