Tom Jones calls on Outline in Muscat
Published: MEA
OMAN: Sir Tom Jones recently performed live to a crowd of over 3,000 at Shangri-La’s Barr al Jissah Resort & Spa, as part of his world tour. The PA for this performance was made up entirely of cabinets from Outline.
Production was provided by the Muscat-based Talentz Centre LLC. The company has invested significantly in Outline Butterfly systems with the MD, Baltazar Fernandes, quoting the products’ consistency, quality and flexibility as key factors in his company’s ability to handle visiting international acts.
Talentz deployed its Outline Butterfly system comprising of 12 cabinets per-side flown as the main left and right system plus four Outline Mantas enclosures per-side as downfills. Low frequency reinforcement came from 16 Outline Subtech 218 subwoofers, and the whole system was powered by Outline T-Series amplifiers.
‘Outline has always been my first choice when it comes to PA,’ said Tom Jones FOH engineer Matteo Cifelli. ‘After years, and hundreds of shows doing FOH for Sir Tom Jones, I have used every kind of PA around the world. The difference in quality I experience when putting my mixes through a Butterfly or a GTO system is astonishing. All the details that you miss with other systems are present: the vocal clarity is outstanding and the overall results are so good that the audience, promoter, manager and artist all have big smiles on their faces. They can all hear the difference, it's obvious.’
