Leading Netherlands rental firm Soundcheck has taken delivery of two Outline iP24 iMode controllers.

Initially looking at another popular and powerful DSP, Soundcheck owner Rodney van Zwol for the Outline iP24 after a demonstration: ‘I was knocked out by the sonic performance of this iP24 and how easy the iPad control software operates,’ he says. ‘The on-board features are so easy to work with, and the amount of filter processing power is simply unbelievable.’

Built on Outline’s proprietary iMode Processing Platform, the iP24 is a multi-purpose DSP loudspeaker controller housed in a single 19-inch rack space, and provides all the features associated with the iMode platform to control external amplifiers and passive sound reinforcement systems. The iP24 is fully controllable via iOS Native App and Mac OS-X Native App, and also via web Browser (Java Applet) for compatibility with various other operating systems.

The iP24 uniquely features WFIR (Warped Frequency Finite Impulse Response) filtering technology, to distribute frequency resolution over a semi-logarithmic scale to produce a more natural auditory response. The tools provided by iMode technology to control sound systems’ response include modern Raised Cosine filters. Compared to traditionally implemented parametric functions, they provide better transfer curve shaping, controlling intervention frequency bandwidth more precisely while maintaining minimum-phase response.

The iP24 iMode controllers were provided by The Audio Specialists, Outline’s distributor for Benelux and Germany.
