Outline released its iSM line of powered stage monitor speakers at InfoComm 2011.
As successor to Outline’s Hard self-powered floor monitors, the iSM 112, iSM 115 and iSM 212 claim higher quality and SPL, and offer remote control of speaker parameters through Outline’s integrated iMode Intelligent Digital Loudspeaker Control Platform.
The iSM Series is designed for the floor monitoring in both fixed and touring applications, including music performance, theatre presentation, house of worship installations and TV production situations where a low-profile cabinet design is essential
‘The iSM monitors are truly a game changing design for the industry,’ says Tom Bensen, Senior VP and MD of Outline North America. ‘The addition of Outline’s advanced iMode Technology brings iSM to a whole new level, by integrating a CPU with dedicated DSP chip, parameter control software and web server into the cabinet. Engineers can now precisely tune each cabinet and store the data for recall, eliminating the need for outboard EQs between the console and the amplifier.’
The iSM Series is powered by embedded advanced technology amplifiers, while each cabinet features Outline’s iMode technology for control via a web browser and has an LED array on both sides of each cabinet indicating the status of the main parameters or selected presets. All cabinets are fitted with eight mounting points for wheels or flying rings, plus two integrated recessed handles for management. All cabinets are sturdy, non-resonant designs constructed from high-quality, void-free Baltic birch that can withstand the rigors of the road. The series is suitable for all monitoring applications delivering a linear response of ±3dB between 76Hz and 15.5kHz, and a linear phase response of ±45° between 500Hz and 16kHz.
The iSM 112, a dual-angle, full frequency wedge monitor loudspeaker, features a 12-inch woofer and 1.4-inch high frequency driver to deliver up to 132dB SPL. The patented folded waveguide provides tight and consistent control of the high-frequency spectrum in both horizontal and vertical planes, maximizing gain before feedback. Designed primarily for stage monitoring applications, the internal amplifiers deliver 500W and 270W to the LF and HF sections respectively. The vertical height is 14-inches (35.5 cm), reducing the visual impact when the enclosure is positioned between performers and the audience.
The iSM 115, a self-powered, DSP-controlled, full-range loudspeaker designed primarily for stage monitoring applications, features internal amplifiers that deliver 750W and 400W to the LF and HF sections respectively to yield a maximum SPL of 137dB at 1m. Low frequencies are reproduced by a single 15-inch reflex-loaded, 4Ω transducer and the high frequencies are covered by a 1.4-inch throat compression driver fitted with a 2.5-inch titanium diaphragm. The patented integrated folded waveguide provides tight and consistent control of the high frequency spectrum in both the horizontal and vertical planes, achieving the defined pattern control that is necessary for professional floor monitors. The vertical height is 15.6in (39.5cm).
The iSM 212 is a sDSP-controlled, with 1,050W and 570W available to the LF and HF sections respectively, for a maximum SPL of 140dB at 1m. Low frequencies are reproduced by a pair of 12-inch reflex-loaded transducers, with the high frequencies handled by a 1.4-inch throat compression driver fitted with a three-inch titanium diaphragm. Its vertical height is 12.8-inches (32.5 cm).
