The acoustic and mechanical designs haven't undergone any important changes, so the 130-plus dB SPL with hi-fi quality is still ensured, as is the clear sensation of "big" sound and easy adjustment. The two-channel 1000-Watt PWM amplifier module + DSP and top class components (a 15", a 12" and a 1" driver) ensure astonishingly high headroom for a cabinet with such dimensions, adds Outline.
The Kanguro 2008's DSP can be controlled in such a way as to exploit its capacity to the utmost. Thanks to an RJ 485 connector mounted on the sub's rear panel, it can be controlled via TCP/IP protocol.
The project's completed by proprietary software - Outline E.Q.U.I.P. (Equalization Using Internet Protocol) - which ensures a multitude of settings (10 parametric and two shelving filters, polarity, two gain and two delay controls on output, as well as the control of a virtually unlimited number of interconnected enclosures and many other possibilities).
For those who prefer not to use a computer, there are four presets (of which one is a factory-set default configuration), which can be recalled from the rear panel of the sub at the press of a button; these are useful when there are very different acoustic requirements in the course of an evening.
.Outline is also presenting its new ET250-3D turntable for measuring loudspeaker enclosures' polar dispersion - the model currently on the market has been the world standard for this type of application since 1990. Further details will be available shortly.
