Outline H-Series: maximum intelligibility in reverberant spaces

Outline’s H Series was showcased at PLASA Show 2026. It was presented by CUK Group, the company’s exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland, at stand A10.

The H Series addresses a common challenge: ensuring that every word can be heard clearly when the acoustics work against the voice.

 

Column loudspeakers have long since moved away from their original purpose of concentrating energy in the horizontal plane, often being chosen more for their form factor than their performance. The H462 was designed to restore that function and preserve intelligibility in reverberant spaces such as classrooms, conference centres, places of worship, airports and shopping centres.

 

Inside the column, six 4" drivers provide high rear attenuation across the entire frequency range. They are positioned below—or above—a high-frequency horn with two 1" drivers, which can be mechanically rotated on its vertical axis: no electric motors, just Brescia-style mechanical engineering.

 

 

 

Dispersion is 90° × 30°, with full-spectrum cardioid rear rejection, while its frequency response of 95 Hz to 19 kHz covers the vocal range without requiring a subwoofer. As a passive system, the H462 operates independently with the external ISA4D32 amplifier, the Outline model around which the design was developed.

When music replaces speech, the column is installed on top of the H102S subwoofer and requires no additional components. The subwoofer incorporates an amplifier designed to power both its two 10" woofers—with selectable cardioid or omnidirectional dispersion—and the column positioned above it. The result is a combined full-range system with concealed cabling.

 

Whether used independently or as a combined system, the objective remains the same: predictable coverage, fast deployment and a discreet presence in spaces with specific architectural requirements, such as corporate events, theatres, places of worship, hospitality venues and multipurpose spaces.
