UK - At London's Royal Opera House, Britannia Row Productions' Outline Butterfly was the front-of-house system for sound reinforcement for the BAFTA ceremony, the UKequivalent of the Oscars, awarded annually to personalities from the cinema and television world since 1947.

To ensure audio coverage for the audience, 20 Outline Butterfly C.D.H. 483 Hi-Packs and four Subtech 218 were flown (respectively ten and two per side), the latter for the ultra-low frequencies. Six more Butterfly C.D.H. 483 were used as ground-stacked systems.

The entire system was controlled by a Dolby Lake processor and powered by Outline's new T Nine digital power amplifiers (2 x 4800W on 2 Ohms). The FOH engineer for the event was Derrick Zeiba.
