Adamson Expands S-SERIES and Introduces New IS-SERIES Line Arrays

Adamson Systems Engineering added the S10n line array cabinet to its S-SERIES and has introduced the integration-focused IS-SERIES family of loudspeakers this week. The S10n is a narrow-dispersion version of the S10 two-way, full-range line array cabinet. Having identical specs to the S10, the S10n has an 80° x 10° (H x V) dispersion pattern for applications with tighter horizontal coverage requirements.

The IS-SERIES made its debut with the IS7 and complementing IS118 subwoofer. The IS-SERIES uses Adamson’s tour-level technology into sleek, architecturally-friendly boxes with rugged but 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. It produces a slightly curved wavefront with a nominal dispersion pattern of 100° x 12.5° (H x V). According to Adamson, 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.

The companion IS118 subwoofer is a lightweight, long excursion 18” ND18-S Kevlar Neodymium driver utilizing Adamson’s Advanced Cone Architecture and a 4” voice coil for power handling. It is mounted in a front-loaded enclosure.

The IS-SERIES cabinet construction uses marine-grade birch plywood and aircraft-grade steel. The IS7 is equipped with NL4 Connectors and screw terminals while 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 designed for a wide range of applications, including performing arts centers, live performance venues, sports venues, conference centers and houses of worship.
