INDIA: Outline has strengthened its foothold in one of the world’s fastest-evolving professional audio markets with the appointment of Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems Pvt Ltd as its exclusive distributor for India. The move comes at a time when the country’s live events, hospitality and installation sectors are expanding at remarkable pace, driving demand for high-performance audio solutions across both touring and fixed applications.

With over two decades of experience in professional AV distribution, Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems Pvt Ltd brings to the partnership a comprehensive PAN India network, supported by an in-house team of sound designers and application support specialists. The company’s strategic ambition to become the largest AV distribution house in India within the next three years aligns with Outline’s focus on delivering premium, high-impact audio systems backed by strong technical support and market engagement.

Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems has identified Outline’s GTO and GTO C-12 line array systems as key solutions for large-scale productions, while Superfly and Mantas 28 are positioned to address the mid- to large-scale rental segment. At the same time, sustained infrastructure development across hospitality, retail and cultural venues is fuelling demand for premium fixed installation systems. Outline’s P Series, A Series and H Series are positioned to serve a range of applications including luxury hotels, high-end clubs, places of worship and architecturally sensitive venues where both sonic performance and visual integration are critical.

“Outline is a brand on global riders, built for the premium segment, and capable of delivering unparalleled sonic quality at the right price points,” said Manikk Guptha, Director of Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems. “India is becoming a major hub for performances by international and Indian artists, and events of that magnitude demand not just superior sound quality but enough power and headroom to handle massive crowds. GTO and Superfly are just perfect for such applications. Their scalability, powerful output and ease of deployment make them game-changers for multi-city tours and large-scale outdoor gatherings. In a country where a single tour can cross fifteen cities with different local crews at every stop, the ability to save and recall a complete system state is not a convenience – it is what keeps the show consistent from the first date to the last.”

As part of the partnership, Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems will deliver comprehensive support across the country, including technical assistance, certified training programmes and financial solutions tailored to local market requirements. The company will also oversee system integration, maintenance and optimisation for both end users and rental partners.

“In a fast-growing market like India, we see strong opportunities across both the live sound and fixed installation segments. The appointment of Hi-Tech Audio Video Systems marks a significant step in strengthening Outline’s presence in the country. Their solid reputation, proven expertise and deep understanding of the local market make them the right partner to support our expansion here – with a shared focus on delivering high-quality solutions and creating long-term value,” said Aritra Sarkar, Outline’s Country Manager for India.
