Outline, known for its loudspeaker systems and DSP technology, has named Audio Visual Engineering (AVE) as its new distribution partner in Australia. The partnership is designed to strengthen the brand’s position in live sound, installed audio and performance venue sectors, supported by AVE’s nationwide network.
Based in Brisbane, with offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, AVE has more than two decades of experience in the professional sound and lighting industry. The company began as a manufacturer, which it says provides a strong technical foundation for its wholesale and project support operations.
Robert Szabo, owner/director at AVE, said: “That experience continues to drive our mission to source and wholesale products that deliver exceptional value for money. We’ve grown into a trusted name by being relentless in finding high-quality, reliable and accessible gear for our professional clients.”
Fernando Rey Méndez, sales and marketing director at Outline, added: “AVE’s team immediately stood out for their deep technical insight and genuine passion for sound. They understand the difference between moving boxes and delivering an engineered solution – exactly the mindset that built Outline’s reputation worldwide. We’re confident that with AVE, Australian professionals will experience what truly sets Outline apart.”
Under the new agreement, AVE’s engineering division will provide local system design, commissioning and acoustic modelling support for Outline projects. Szabo said: “With offices across all major cities, our national presence allows us to be a true partner rather than just a supplier. It ensures that clients receive hands-on support, from project planning through to post-installation service.”
According to the companies, the partnership followed extensive product demonstrations in which AVE evaluated Outline’s performance and system efficiency.
Szabo added: “The impact was immediate and undeniable, especially in the low end. We heard a rig with just four double 18in subwoofers, and our team genuinely searched for four additional hidden subs – that’s how much sheer power and efficiency they delivered.
“Outline fills a crucial gap by delivering uncompromising quality with tangible value. From high-end bars and clubs to large-scale performance venues and stadiums, these systems are perfectly suited for every application. Based on the initial reaction of our engineers, we’re confident that Outline will quickly become a preferred choice among Australian audio professionals.”
