Canadian-born singer songwriter and actress Alanis Morissette recently embarked on a short summer tour in support of her forthcoming album Havoc And Bright Lights, including shows in the UK and France at which production provider Britannia Row Productions deployed Outline GTO line arrays.
These shows were also some of the first in Europe to showcase two new Outline designs, including the GTO-SUB low-frequency element designed specifically for the GTO system, and the GTO-DF 120-degree down fill element.
The production also carried six Outline Mantas 120-degree down fill elements and six Outline Butterfly CDH-483 hi-packs, all used variously as in fills depending on the venue. All loudspeakers were powered by Outline T-11 amplifiers.
The tour’s front of house engineer, Maurizio Gennari, states, “I’ve used Outline Butterfly in the past and I was hoping to try the GTO at some point. Finally an opportunity came when Britannia Row’s Bryan Grant suggested I take the system for the UK and French dates of the tour. I really liked the system clarity in the mid-hi range and also the new subs, which Dave Compton and I tried in different configurations – they were very powerful and precise. I will be happy to use the system again in the future.”
Britannia Row Productions MD Bryan Grant adds, “Our systems tech on the tour reported great results with the GTO, which really didn’t surprise me because it’s one of the most natural-sounding systems out there at the moment.”
