Outline Butterfly for Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams has been added to the excellent list of references that the Outline Array, manufactured in Brescia, Italy has been collecting at a non-stop rate over the last few years.
On Friday 20th July at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium, a venue with a capacity of 15,000, Britannia Row used 56 Butterfly Hi-packs for the Canadian singer.
There were 20+20 CDH 483 Hi-packs for FOH and 8+8 CDH 483 on ‘side’ coverage - all backed up by 16 Subtech 218 subwoofers, amplified by Series T power amps and controlled by Genius 26 processors, also by Outline.
On this occasion - as has been said until now by the most authoritative UK system engineers and PA men - the Butterfly’s reproduction of the Vancouver rocker’s vocals was well balanced and natural, with a dynamic headroom that is hard to beat among loudspeaker systems that can be compared with the Outline line array as far as dimensions are concerned, but also heavier, bulkier systems, as has been demonstrated on several occasions.
July was a busy month for Britannia Row’s Butterfly systems. First of all there was the concert in memory of Lady Diana at Wembley Stadium and then seven days later in the same venue the huge ‘Live Earth’ concert organised by ex US vice-president Al Gore as a tribute to Planet Earth. In the same stadium, on July 8th, the system also contributed to the success of Metallica’s concert before thousands of fans.
