Adamson To Debut E219 Subwoofer At Infocomm
Adamson will debut the new E219 subwoofer at InfoComm as part of the Energia family, which includes the E15, E12 and E218.
The E219 is loaded with two lightweight, long excursion 19” SD19 Kevlar Neodymium drivers utilizing Adamson’s so-called Advanced Cone Architecture. The drivers use dual 5″ voice coils for power handling, and are mounted in a front-loaded enclosure, designed to reproduce clean, musical low frequency information.
The lightweight E219 — weighing in at 249 pounds — lends itself to rigging situations that benefit from flying subwoofers. The sub is designed to be used as a standalone low frequency component in the Energia system, but can also be combined with the E218 cabinet for larger events.
The E219 subwoofer is specified for use and packaged with the Lab.gruppen PLM 20000Q amplifier. Four E219 cabinets can be run from a single amp. The end result is clean LF reproduction at high SPL levels with low power compression.
Integrated rigging permits a 0° or a 3° angle which allows for compatibility with the full-range line array modules in the Energia system. The E219 can be transported using a 3-up dolly, or a single dolly system. When truck-loaded, multiple sets of E219s fit comfortably in European trailers of 93″ width as well as American trucks of 96″ or 102″.
The cabinet – measuring 23.5 in x 56 in x 35 in – is constructed of marine grade birch plywood as well as aircraft grade steel and aluminum. It is equipped with three Speakon NL8 connectors, two parallel in/out plugs and one dedicated output connection point for efficient use of speaker cabling.
Details are not on the company’s website yet, but when they are, they will be here.
