The proliferation
of "comments" certainly informed members of the public, educating
them on this particular issue, and avoided people like myself (among

detailed description of the theory behind vertical line arrays.
This
also eliminated any temptation I might have had to criticize other
manufacturers’ products, because a lot of others have already done
so in the “comments” circulating in the audio community for some
time.
On
the contrary, I’ll offer as examples the products of some
manufacturers, dedicating some space to them, because their particular
products in this field give indispensable help in understanding the
work and results achieved by Outline, described in this publication. A
great deal of what is written in this white paper is taken directly
from the text and designs contained in some patents for the “Butterfly”
system, applied for in 2002.
