Adamson's Point Series launched at Pro Light + Sound
The 2009 Frankfurt Pro Light + Sound show marked the launch of Adamson's Point Series that includes five new models complete with EASE Data; the Point 8, Point 12 and Point 15 two-way enclosures, with companion single and double 15" subwoofers; the Point115 Sub and Point 215 Sub. A new 4 x 8 DSP, The Point Control, is also available for optimal speaker management.
The Point Series incorporates Adamson's Advanced Cone Architecture in all 12" and 15"cabinets. These unique low-mid transducers have Kevlar cone geometries that reduce modal behaviour, providing an improved and linearised pass-band.
The Point 8, Point 12 and Point 15 are all available in both, active and passive versions. The Point 15 and Point 12 are equipped with either a 40 x 20, 60 x 40 or 90 x 60 rotatable Waveguide, for maximum flexibility. The smaller Point 8 is available with a 90 x 60 rotatable waveguide. The height of the Point 8 matches the width of the Point 15 (for downfill applications), and the width of the Point 115 Sub for smooth integration into arrays.
The Point 115 sub is a flyable, single 15" available in passive and active versions. The passive crossover is designed for a seamless transition with the Point 8 (passive). The active version requires Point Control.
The Point 215 Sub is an active cabinet with dual 15" drivers loaded in a manifold configuration. The compact package features a built-in threaded pole mount socket and strategically placed standard screws which can be replaced with eyehooks when needed.
All two-way enclosures include Side Lock Revolver (SLR) rigging sockets for both vertical and horizontal arraying methods, as does the Point 115 Sub. The SLR rigging system includes Quick-lock vertical and horizontal brackets, as well as the Quick-lock Articulator hardware for two-deep arrays, and Quick-lock Butterfly Brackets for 2-wide arrays. SLR sockets also host Sight Mount hardware for multiple adjustable angle mounting options. Cabinets are fitted with four 5/16-treads for Omni Mount 40 or 60 wall-mount systems.
Point enclosures offer an anisometric hexagon profile with a foam covered powder coated steel grille. With a sleek industrial design, the enclosures are built of 11ply, 5/8-inch Baltic Birch, the same as Adamson's touring series. A recessed rear panel features a pair of 45-degree angle NL-4 Speakon connectors that allow close mounting to a wall. The 1,114 colours of Pantone Colour system are available to contractors who need to colour-match loudspeakers, as well as their rigging accessories.
