Introduction & Product Details

1.0 Introduction

This manual is designed to give the S-Series user the necessary information to accurately fly or stack S-Series loudspeakers in all the available configurations, as well as the proper deployment and use of S-Series loudspeakers. Safe step by step rigging procedures will be outlined, as well as example system configurations, correct wiring and amplification and transport.

1.1 Overview

Whether it is amplification, control, networking and monitoring, the S-Series packaging is built to perform and endure. Our alliances have been made with companies that are leading the industry in their technologies and in their ideologies: Dante-networking, Lake-processing and

Lab.gruppen-amplification. After all it’s the total system performance that matters.

Low-mid frequency lobing is a common side-effect of traditional 2-way enclosures.

To solve this problem, Adamson has introduced Controlled Summation Technology, which reduces the spacing between mid frequency sources by outwardly splaying the drivers and using overlap control between mid frequency and high frequency sources to suppress the interference normally associated with this type of design. Doing this also allows the high frequency sound chamber to retain its exit size, ensuring that it retains its superior directivity control.

Adamson’s SlideLock rigging system has been designed to remove operator stress while adding confidence. A single technician can safely and quickly fly the entire rig, setting angles while the cabinets are sitting securely on the 4-up dolly. Once the array is lifted, all cabinets simply align into 1 of 9 incremental splay positions.

S10

The S10 is a 2-way, full range line array cabinet containing 2x ND10-LM

Kevlar Neodymium drivers (2x 16 Ω) and an NH4TA2 1.5” exit compression driver (8 Ω). The critically optimized sound chamber produces a slightly curved wavefront with a nominal dispersion pattern of 110° x 10° (H x V). The chamber’s efficiency allows for increased vertical dispersion without sacrificing high frequency presence in the far field.

Patent-pending Controlled Summation Technology further eliminates low-mid lobing normally associated with 2-way line source systems.

The cabinet construction uses marine grade birch plywood as well as aircraft grade steel and aluminum, and is equipped with two Speakon™

NL8 connectors. The rigging system incorporates the best aspects of previous advancements in our new SlideLock rigging technology.

The S10 is suited to a wide variety of applications. Its full range capability (60 Hz) at reasonable levels qualifies for applications where sub is not required. Increased vertical coverage (10°) enables the S10 to cover theaters, arenas and stadiums with reasonable speaker quantity.

Other target applications include dance clubs, medium size festivals, corporate events and contemporary churches.

3.1 Rigging Overview

ATTENTION

IMPORTANT OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

The SlideLock Rigging System

The SlideLock Rigging System allows for the operator to set enclosure angles while still stacked on the dolly. A series of push pins maintain angular position and lock in connecting rigging pieces. Caution should be taken while connecting cabinets to ensure hands are out of the way.

The order of operation of the rigging system is: prep angles, remove connection pins, guide into place and secure connecting pins.

There are 9 angles, 0 to 8, and an additional ‘Storage’ being the ‘idle’ or ‘rest’ position, when the rigging hardware is all the way down and the boxes aren’t connected. It is applicable when the enclosure is not in use, to protect the rigging hardware from damage. To keep the system intact for transport, leave the angles pinned in.

The angles are numbered as well as color coded to mark which slot should be pinned with the attached push-pin. (Fig. 2) The following rigging positions are equal to the following degrees for the S10 (Fig. 1)
