AUSTRALIA: Outline has announced the appointment of Audio Visual Engineering (AVE) as its new exclusive distributor for Australia — a strategic move set to bolster the brand’s presence across the country’s vibrant pro audio market.

With over two decades of experience in the professional sound and lighting industry, AVE has become one of Australia’s most respected names, combining technical acumen with a robust nationwide support network. Founded in the early 2000s, the company began its journey as a manufacturer — a background that continues to influence its practical approach to engineering and product evaluation.

“That experience continues to drive our mission to source and wholesale products that deliver exceptional value for money,” says Robert Szabo, Owner and Director of AVE. “We’ve grown into a trusted name by being relentless in finding high-quality, reliable, and accessible gear for our professional clients.”

Outline’s Sales & Marketing Director, Fernando Rey Méndez, notes that the partnership was an instant fit: “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.”

With offices in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth, and representatives in all major states, AVE’s extensive reach ensures fast, local support and demo access across the country. “In a country as vast as ours, that local presence is vital,” adds Szabo. “It allows us to be a true partner rather than just a supplier.”

Beyond distribution, AVE’s engineering team provides comprehensive technical support for Outline users, including customised system design and acoustic modelling. “We don’t just move boxes; we provide complete project support,” continues Szabo. “Our expertise ensures clients achieve perfect coverage and superior audio quality for any application, maximising the value of their Outline investment.”

The decision to align with Outline came after a memorable listening experience. “The impact was immediate and undeniable, especially in the low end,” recalls Szabo. “We heard a rig with just four double 18-inch subwoofers, and our team genuinely searched for four additional hidden subs — that’s how much sheer power and efficiency they delivered. That overwhelming demonstration of quality, combined with a remarkable performance-to-value ratio, made partnering with Outline an easy one.”

Looking ahead, AVE sees significant potential for Outline across Australia’s professional audio sector. “Outline fills a crucial gap by delivering uncompromising quality with tangible value,” concludes Szabo. “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.”
