• Adamson expands S-Series and introduces new IS-Series

    Building on the S-SERIES, Adamson Systems Engineering has added the S10n line array cabinet to its offerings and introduced the integration-focused IS-SERIES family of loudspeakers.

    The S10n is a narrow-dispersion version of the S10 two-way, full-range line array cabinet. Boasting otherwise identical specs to the S10, the S10n delivers an 80° x 10° (H x V) dispersion pattern for applications with tighter horizontal coverage requirements.

    “S10n emphasizes Adamson’s commitment to the touring market,” comments Marc Weber, Director of Product and Brand Management, Adamson Systems Engineering. “Based on requests from our strong clientele of touring users, this narrow version of the S10 was developed to increase the long-throw capability of S-SERIES loudspeaker packages and further expand their usability and performance in reflective spaces."

    The IS-SERIES will make its debut with the IS7 and complementing IS118 subwoofer. The IS-SERIES packs Adamson’s tour-level technology into sleek, architecturally-friendly boxes with unobtrusive rigging solutions.

    The IS7 is a two-way, full-range line array cabinet containing two ND7-X5, 7” Neodymium drivers and an NH3, 1.4” exit compression driver. The waveguide produces a slightly curved wavefront with a nominal dispersion pattern of 100° x 12.5° (H x V). "The waveguide’s efficiency allows for increased vertical dispersion without sacrificing high-frequency presence in the far field while the patent-pending Controlled Summation Technology further eliminates the low-mid lobing normally associated with two-way line source systems", says the company.

    The companion IS118 subwoofer is loaded with a lightweight, long excursion 18” ND18-S Kevlar Neodymium driver utilizing Adamson’s Advanced Cone Architecture and a 4” voice coil. It is mounted in "an ultra-efficient, front-loaded enclosure, designed to reproduce clean, musical low-frequency information", according to Adamson.

    The IS-SERIES cabinet construction uses marine-grade birch plywood and aircraft-grade steel. The IS7 is equipped with NL4 Connectors and screw terminals, where the IS118 has screw terminals available on demand. A plate-and-screw rigging solution is recessed in the interior of the rear rigging fins for easy installation. The series is available in a standard Black and White, with RAL colours available on demand. The IS-SERIES is suited for a wide range of applications, including performing arts centers, live performance venues, sports venues, conference centers, and houses of worship.
