Adamson Previews New Point Source Models from Acclaimed IS-Series
Adamson Systems Engineering has previewed a pair of new point source additions to its heralded IS-Series
of install-focused loudspeaker products - The IS7p and IS10p.
“The response to our IS-Series throughout Europe has been tremendous.” says Adamson’s Sales Director,
EMEA, and Jasper Ravesteijn. “We want to offer integrators an advance look at these products so they
can experience their performance in a real-world environment and work them into their specifications
for upcoming projects.”
Like the existing IS-Series offerings – the IS7 and IS10 two-way, full-range line array cabinets and
IS118 and IS119 subwoofers – the new point source models pack Adamson’s sophisticated tour-grade
technology into a sleek package with rugged and unobtrusive rigging solutions, keeping the focus on
the architecture in any given application.
Design & Features:
The IS7p is a two-way point source cabinet with two ND7-LM16 7” Kevlar Low-Mid drivers (2x 16 Ω) and
one NH3-8 1.4” exit compression driver (8 Ω). The IS10p is a two-way point source cabinet containing
two ND10-LM 10” Kevlar Low-Mid drivers (2x 16 Ω) and again one NH3-8 1.4” exit compression
driver (8 Ω).
Both loudspeakers feature newly designed waveguides, which are refined through boundary element
analysis (BEM) and incorporate the best aspects of 30 years of Adamson waveguide technology. The
rotatable waveguides are available with nominal dispersion patterns of 70° x 40° or 100° x 50°,
respectively, and ensure a smooth transition from on- to off-axis positions, delivering natural sound
without diffraction or lobbing. Depending on the application, their full-range capabilities can negate
the need for a subwoofer, and with their high SPL-to-size ratio, the IS7p and IS10p are remarkably
efficient solutions.
The choices in dispersion pattern enable the IS7p and IS10p to be used as main systems or to supplement
larger setups as fill cabinets in theatres, musicals, and houses of worship as well as dance clubs, large
meeting rooms, and arenas. The cabinets feature marine-grade birch plywood and aircraft-grade aluminum
and steel. The models come equipped with Speakon NL4 connectors (IS7p and IS10p) or barrier strips
(IS7pb and IS10pb). A plate-and-screw rigging system is placed on four faces of the enclosure, with
a multitude of accessories allowing the enclosure to be deployed seamlessly in a variety of
applications.
The IS7p and IS10p will be available in June 2018.
