Outline has appointed Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems as its distributor for India, bringing a Pan-India network, in-house sound design and application support team, and a strategic ambition to become the largest A/V distribution house in India within the next three years.
Founded with more than two decades of hands-on expertise in professional A/V distribution, Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems has built its reputation on technical excellence and client-centred service across both live events and fixed installations – a profile that aligns naturally with Outline’s own standards and culture.
India’s live event calendar includes international artist tours, IPL-scale productions, large-format weddings and major corporate events, and increasingly calls for systems capable of delivering concert-grade performance to audiences of tens of thousands.
Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems identifies Outline’s GTO and GTO C-12 line array systems as the best fit for the country’s largest live productions, while Superfly and Mantas 28 address the broad mid- to large-scale rental segment.
Additionally, rapid development across hospitality, retail and cultural infrastructure is generating sustained demand for premium fixed installation solutions. Outline’s P Series, A Series and H Series are well-positioned to serve luxury hotels, high-end clubs, places of worship, and the architecturally demanding venues where sonic clarity and visual discretion carry equal weight.
‘India is becoming a major hub for performances by international and Indian artists, and events of that magnitude demand not just superior sound quality but enough power and headroom to handle massive crowds,’ says Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems Director, Manikk Guptha. ‘GTO and Superfly are just perfect for such applications. Their scalability, powerful output and ease of deployment make them game-changers for multi-city tours and large-scale outdoor gatherings. In a country where a single tour can cross fifteen cities with different local crews at every stop, the ability to save and recall a complete system state is not a convenience – it is what keeps the show consistent from the first date to the last.’
The company is committed to providing comprehensive support to Outline users across India, including hands-on technical assistance, certified training and financial solutions tailored to local market needs. Its experienced team will oversee integration, maintenance and system optimisation for both end-users and rental partners throughout the country.
‘We see strong opportunities across both the live sound and fixed installation segments,’ says Outline Country Manager for India, Aritra Sarkar. ‘The appointment of Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems marks a significant step in strengthening Outline’s presence in the country. Their solid reputation, proven expertise and deep understanding of the local market make them the right partner to support our expansion here – with a shared focus on delivering high-quality solutions and creating long-term value.’
As India’s live event and installation industries face a market expanding at a pace that few others can match, the partnership between Outline and Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems positions both companies to serve a market whose scale and ambition are increasingly reflected in its technical standards.
