The Sound of Big Ideas

Introduction

Outline is a leading company in the field of high efficiency audio power management. The totally new DIGAM (DIGital
AMplifier) technology has changed the way the world looks at professional audio amplification. No other amplifiers
come close for applications demanding high power and long term reliability. Thanks to amazing reductions in heat
output along with reductions in weight and the specific high output power, T Series amplifiers can be used in an
unlimited range of applications such as concert touring, opera houses, theatres, churches, cinema, theme parks,
television sound stages and industrial applications.

More sound and less weight

Compared to a conventional amplifier, Outline T Series technology offers very high efficiency and delivers more power
to the loudspeakers with much reduced heat dissipation. This greater efficiency enables dimensions, weight and power
consumption to be reduced. The output stages of the amplifiers typically run at 95% efficiency, dissipating only 5% of
the input energy as heat.
One of the most interesting characteristics is that efficiency is almost independent of output level. Conventional
amplifiers achieve their best efficiency only at full rated power output. Since standard music has an average power
density of 40% of the maximum level, conventional amplifiers can easily generate 10 times more heat than T Series
for the same volume of sound.

Superior Sound-Sonic Accuracy

Crystal-clear highs, and a tight, well-defined low end: the most accurate reproduction of an audio signal. Patented
design features ensure very high performance in parameters such as distortion, frequency response, slew rate, power
bandwidth and dumping factor.

Totally Digital with High Reliability

The T Series is based on PWM technology that has been used for 30 years or more in power supplies and inverters.
PWM provides high reliability, small size, low weight and high efficiency. A PWM converter works as a high frequency
sampler, converting the variable amplitude (audio) signal into an impulse sequence with average value equal to the
audio input.
T Series amplifiers use very high sampling frequencies to obtain high performances across the audio band.

The Best Amplifier for Your Mains

Outline adopt Power Factor Correction. This feature ensures that a predominantly resistive load is presented to mains,
minimizing current distortion and voltage/current displacement This leads to much improved performance of the
amplifier at high levels of output and avoids mains-voltage collapses, typical of standard and switching power
supplies. Another great advantage of this technology is that its performance is, to a large extent, independent of mains
voltage. The rated output power does not vary with load/line conditions.

The T Series

T Series has many advanced features, Digital control of many parameters, adjustable maximum mains consuption,
selectable digital presets and a graphic display that shows detailed information of the status of the amplifier. You can
appreciate the functionality of these and a lot of other features by reading this manual carefully.

The Show Always Goes On

T Series is completely protected against every possible error in operation and is designed to work under every
condition. It gives you maximum power with maximum safety and increases long-term reliability. Anticipating potential
problems at the design stage means your show always goes on!
