Albanian Sound, Lighting & Video (ASLV) has operated since 2013 with a team of highly-qualified staff providing sound, lighting, video, staging and structures, as well as creative technical solutions for concerts, festivals, theatre and opera productions, key corporate events, expos and more throughout the country. It other specialist services also include consultation and design.
Recently appointed as exclusive Outline distributor for Albania, following its corporate policy of ensuring its clients equipment that is technically the best for their requirements, the Tirana-based company has also taken delivery of an Outline Superfly Silver audio package, one of the three turnkey set-ups conceived in recent months by the Italian audio manufacturer.
Superfly loudspeaker systems employ a three-way (HF-MF-LF) design, but the dual high-efficiency 10-inch transducers in the LF section are powered individually, significantly enhancing low-frequency performance. The midrange and HF components (dual 8-inch drivers and a single 3-inch compression driver) are the same as Outline’s GTO series.
‘The three configurations ensure the best ratio between loudspeaker and amplifier quantity, thus becoming excellent investments with a fast economic return,’ says Outline’s Product Manager and Business Developer Fernando Rey Méndez. ‘They also guarantee an optimal combination between different kits of other Outline product families, such as GTO kits and Mantas 28 kits.’
ASLV’s Superfly Silver configuration is intended for sound reinforcement in venues of between 1,000 and 3,000 capacity, with a high size:power ratio. It comprises 16 SFLY 210 three-way high-power DPRWG line array elements, eight DBS 18-2 very high-power subwoofer systems, with twin 18-inch woofers, and four LIPF-082 two-way front fill loudspeaker enclosures. The amplification and control set-ups consist in four 4U-high touring racks with GTA-Otto amplifiers and a Newton 4U-high touring rack with Outline’s highly successful Newton 16+8 multi-source FPGA processor. Frames and loudspeaker cables, flight cases, weather protection covers and trolleys are also included in the package.
ASLV’s regular client roster includes the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet, Tirana Municipality, Vodafone and Tirana International Airport. Among the high-profile events on the company’s CV are concerts by Anastacia and the Original Blues Brothers Band, operas including Bizet’s Pearl Fishers, Bizet’s La Bohème and Verdi’s Il Trovatore and other productions such as the Marie Kraja International Festival of Operatic Singers, the Miss Albania contest, Ballet on Ice and the 2020 celebrations of the centenary of Tirana’s nomination as the capital of Albania in the city’s Mother Teresa Square.
‘We chose the Outline brand following the advice of specialists in the audio sector, who strongly recommended it, and without doubt it will result in an increase in audio quality at our indoor and outdoor live and concert events in particular,’ says ASLV owner, Florind Tenolli.
