1. SAFETY REGULATIONS
Welcome to the Outline world! Congratulations on
choosing the Outline V10/V15 kit as your sound sy-
stem. We suggest you dedicate some time to rea-
ding this manual in order to get to know this product
in depth and ensure you make the most of its use.
It is important to remain at a suitable distance from
the sound reinforcement system, particularly when
it is used at high spl.
The V10 and V15 kits have been designed for me-
dium-small venues, but due to their high perfor-
mance, they could cause hearing damage.
The safety precautions to follow are:
• The installation of the kits requires that the per-
sons involved are aware of the safety procedures
to follow in this kind of situations;
• It is not recommended to use any material not
expressly provided for by Outline
• Protect the electrical parts dedicated to amplifi-
cation, especially in case of risk of contact with
rain or high humidity;
• Safeguard and protect the point-sources of the
kit in case of prolonged contact with rain or hu-
midity.
Outline declines any and all responsibility for da-
mage or faulty operation caused by using the kits
in a different way from that expressly foreseen and
specied:
• uncertified or unauthorized modification to any
part of the system can damage the system, com-
promising its real efficiency and safety
• always make sure to check the conformity and
good condition of the stands, tripods, supports,
support surfaces and everything concerning the
stability and safety of the system;
• it is advisable to carry out periodic inspections/
checks and any necessary maintenance of the
systems, cables and the amplifiers before using
them. In the event of wear or accidental damage
of the components, Outline will provide specific
support for their replacement;
• frequently check the conditions and correct ope-
ration of the tripods, wheelboards and other
fixing accessories.
Since the system is equipped with loudspeakers/
transducers that produce a static magnetic field, it is
strongly advisable to keep any electronic devices or
magnetic media of any type (computers, hard disks,
magnetic card, etc) at a suitable distance (approxi-
mately 1 metre) from the loudspeakers.
1.1. DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIALS
The product is designed and manufactured
with high quality materials and components,
which can be recycled and reused. When this
symbol of the crossed “wheelie” bin is atta-
ched to a product, it means that the product is cove-
red by the European Directive 2012/19/EU and sub-
sequent amendments. This means that the product

2. SYSTEMS’ DESCRIPTION
The V10 and V15 kits are the result of an in-depth
study made to obtain the most extensive and detailed
possible coverage, in full Outline style, maintaining
a compact, optimized, easy-to-use and to transport
system.
More specifically, these sound systems are cha-
racterized by an integrated and autonomous ampli-
fication system, implemented in the cabinet of the
subwoofer, with enclosed audio and power cables,
ready for use in the so-called “plug & play” formu-
la. The loudspeaker system includes three different
point-sources, all manufactured by Outline.
In detail:
Wheelboard-01
NL2FX/NL2FX

The two kits are going to be illustrated and explained in full detail in this manual, by going into their compo-
nents’ properties and sound performance features. This information will be helpful to better understand the
appropriateness of the kits depending on their intended use.
• The V10 kit contains two Vegas 10 and one self-powered Sub118 - SP23 , two audio speakON cables NL2FX/
NL2FX (10 m), one power cord Powercon True1/Powercord (EU) and one wheelboard;

Two point source models are used as the systems’
satellites: Vegas 10 for the V10 kit and Vegas 15 for
the V15 kit.
These two-way loudspeaker systems from Outline
Vegas series differ in the dimensions of the mid-low
frequency woofer (10’’ or 15’’). Indeed, for the high
frequencies, they both mount the same 1.75’’ com-
pression driver loaded on a rotatable horn. This fea-
ture enables to use the enclosure both vertically and
horizontally depending on the needs.
The Baltic birch plywood cabinet, with two bass-
reflex ports of the same material, allows to achie-
ve an excellent performance by the speakers, free
from internal vibrations and resonance that could
compromise the final result. Its particular shape,
together with the rotatable horn mentioned above,
enables it to be also used on the ground as a stage
monitor.
The cabinet is painted with a layer of black polyurea
paint to protect the enclosure from wear over time.
The front grille, with sound-transparent foam, gua-
rantees protection against dust (and other external
agents) for the speakers and internal components.
The pole mount socket enables to use the enclosure
with poles and tripods. More info in chapter 9.
2.1. VEGAS 10 AND VEGAS 15
The internal passive crossover filter, manufactured
with very low resistance metallized polypropylene
capacitors, guarantees the best possible sound per-
formance.
The horizontal dispersion of 80/90° and the vertical
dispersion of 70° ensure an even and complete co-
verage (see chapter 5). The frequency response for
the two Vegas models ranges between the crossover
values chosen respect to the Sub118 SP and 20 kHz.

2.2. SUB 118 - SP12/SP23
Sub118-SP12/SP23 is the self-powered subwoofer
for the reproduction of the low frequencies in the V10
and V15 kits. Its single 18’’ neodymium direct radia-
tion woofer with dedicated bass reflex ports ensures
a frequency response down to 35 Hz.
Its design and low overall weight (47 kg) allow easy
maneuverability. The Baltic Birch plywood cabinet in
fact, in addition to ensuring resistance and control
even at high vibration levels, has a number of hand-
les that can also be used to lock the subwoofer with
the wheelboard for transport.
The curved front grille guarantees additional pro-
tection of the woofer, without compromising in any
way its acoustic performance and without interefe-
ring with the ergonomics of the handles. Lastly, the
M20 threaded points allow the use of the subwoofer
with loudspeaker poles for Outline satellites such as
Vegas 10 or Vegas 15.
The difference between the two models of the Sub118
- SP12 and SP23 - regards the electronics part and
the connection panel of the dedicated amplifier mo-
dule (chapter 4). A passive version of the subwoofer
is also available.

The electro-acoustic features of the components are
therefore dimensioned according to the criteria de-
scribed above to obtain the best possible performan-
ce of the two elements in relation to the subwoofer in
conditions of extreme reliability and very low distor-
tion. Any configuration other than the provided one
will not be as performant and may, in some cases,
compromise the correct operation of the sound sy-
stem.
The wiring is very simple, as shown here under:

3.1. CONNECTORS SPECIFICATIONS
The cable used for cabling the point-source like Ve-
gas and the Sub118 SP is the speakON NL2FX cable
(four-pole chassis and 1+ / 1- contacts). Its standard
length of 10 m and 2 m is specifically designed for the
wiring for the two kits. It will however be possible to
use longer cables or, using a special cable adaptor, to
extend those already included with cables of the same
type. Its chassis is approved for wiring with NL4MP-2
input / output connectors like those found on the Ve-
gas and the Sub118 SP.
The cable used for the audio signal wiring from the
source to the subwoofer input panel (chapter 4), is
a classic audio cable with XLR 3-pole EIA-standard
connector:
1. Ground
2. Positive
3. Negative
Alternatively, the input panel (with Combo connector)
also accepts balanced 6.35 mm jack cables (TRS).
The cable used to connect to the amplifier DSP (chap-
ter 4) integrated in the Sub118 SP is the USB cable
with a type B connector.
For most users, the PC needs a USB type A connector
on the other end of the cable.

4. AMPLIFICATION
As already mentioned, the amplifiers are directly inte-
grated into the two Sub118 SP models. The amplifier
module is completely autonomous and designed to
be immediately ready for use (plug & play) once con-
nected to the power and wired to the Vegas satellites.
The Powercon True 1 connector guarantees stability
and security against any small infiltration of external
agents (IP 65) between power input and output.
The integrated DSP allows the management of the
input audio signal by routing it to the output channels
dedicated to the Vegas and Sub118. In fact, despite
the passive crossover of the Vegas, the two types of
satellites have a very precise and specifically studied
frequency cut, all managed by the DSP. Beyond the
flat setting, it will be possible to use other presets for
the whole system (chap 5).
Below you will find all the elements and the poten-
tial offered by the management panel:
Potentiometer and metering: the management of the system gain can be re-
gulated with the help of the dedicated potentiometer which can be set from -∞
to + 6 dB respect to the input signal. It is possible to monitor the ratio between
the input and output levels with the help of the metering LEDs. It is strongly
recommended not to reach the “clip/temp” status for long periods of time, even
though the DSP limiter is set to values for the best protection of the loudspea-
ker components.
USB input type B: USB port dedicated to DSP control through PC and Armonía
Plus software (chapter 4.1).
Preset selection: button for the selection of one of the four available presets
(chapter 5). It is possible to see the active preset with the help of the dedicated
LEDs.
Amplied signal output: speakON connector model NL4MP-2 dedicated to the
transmission of the amplified signal to the Vegas loudspeakers through the
dedicated speakON NL2FX audio cable.
Analog signal input: Combo type connector (XLR / TRS jack 6,35 mm) for ba-
lanced analog signal. The Sub118-SP23 model will have two separate inputs
(stereo left / stereo right).
Input and output power: input with Powercon True 1 connector and IP65 degree
of protection, with an output to further power up to three kits in parallel at 220
V or two kits in parallel at 110 V (connection also valid to power the kits V10 and
V15 in parallel).
Analog signal link: analog output for splitting the input signal, to forward it to
another kit or any other system ( Sub118-SP12) .
