Heed all warnings and follow all instructions.
A qualifi ed technician must be present during the installation and use of this product. This product is capable of producing extremely high sound pressure levels and should be used according to the specifi ed local sound level regulations and good judgment. Adamson Systems Engineering will not be liable for damages caused by any possible misuse of this product.
Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been damaged in any way, such as when the loudspeaker has been dropped; or when for undetermined reasons the loudspeaker does not operate normally. Inspect your products regularly for any visual or functionality irregularities.
Protect the cabling from being walked on or pinched.
View the S-Series Rigging Tutorial video and/or read the S-Series Rigging Manual before suspending the product.
Pay attention to rigging instructions included in both Blueprint and the S-Series Rigging Manual.
Use only with the rigging frames/accessories specifi ed by Adamson, or sold with the loudspeaker system.
This speaker enclosure is capable of creating a strong magnetic fi eld. Please use caution around the enclosure with data storage devices such as hard drives.

In an effort to continuously improve its products, Adamson releases updated accompanying software, presets and standards for its products.
Adamson reserves the right to change the specifications of its products and the content of its documents with no prior notice.

Sub Compact Line Array

• The S10n is a sub-compact, 2-way, full-range line array enclosure designed for extended throw capabilities. It contains two symmetrically arrayed 10” transducers and a 4”  compression driver mounted on an Adamson waveguide.
• Up to 20 S10n can be flown in the same array when using the S10 & S119 Support Frame (930-0020).
• Due to the use of Controlled Summation Technology, the S10n maintains a consistent nominal horizontal dispersion pattern of 80°.
• The high-frequency waveguide is designed to couple multiple cabinets across the entire intended frequency band without loss of coherence.
• There are 9 rigging positions available, spanning 0° to 10°. Always consult Blueprint AV™ and the S-Series Rigging Manual for correct rigging positions and rigging instructions.
• Adamson’s use of proprietary technologies such as Controlled Summation Technology and Advanced Cone Architecture give the S10n an extremely high maximum SPL  level of 141.3 dB.
• The nominal impedance of the S10n is 8 Ω per band.
• The operational frequency range of the S10n is 60Hz to 18kHz, +/- 3 dB.
• The S10n is intended to be used as a standalone system or with other S-Series products. The S10n is designed to pair easily and coherently with all Adamson subwoofers.
• The wooden enclosure is made of marine-grade birch plywood and has an aluminum and steel rigging system mounted on each corner. Without sacrificing low resonance to the composite material, the S10n is able to maintain a low weight of 27 kg / 60 lbs.
• The S10n is designed for use with Lab. Gruppen’s PLM+ Series amplifiers.

Wiring

• The S10n (973-0005) comes with 2x Neutrik Speakon™ NL8 connections, wired in parallel.
• Pins 3+/- are connected to the 2x ND10-LM MF transducers, wired in parallel.
• Pins 4+/- are connected to the NH4TA2 HF transducer.
• Pins 1+/- and 2+/- are not connected.

Amplification

The S10n is paired with Lab Gruppen PLM+ Series amplifiers.
Maximum quantities of the S10n or S10n paired with S119 per amplifier model are shown below.
For a master list, please refer to the Adamson Amplification Chart, found here, on the Adamson website.

Presets

The Adamson Load Library contains presets designed for a variety of S10n applications. Each preset is intended to be phase-aligned within the EQ overlap region with  Adamson subwoofers.
For a master list, please refer to the Adamson PLM & Lake Handbook.
When cabinets and subwoofers are positioned separately, phase alignment should
be measured with suitable software.

Control

Array Shaping overlays (found in the Array Shaping folders of the Adamson Load Library) can be recalled in the EQ section of the Lake Controller to adjust the contour of the array. Recalling the appropriate EQ overlay or preset for the number of cabinets being used provides the standard Adamson frequency response of your array, compensating for
different low-frequency coupling.
Tilt overlays (found in the Array Shaping folders of the Adamson Load Library) can be used to alter the overall acoustic response of an array. Tilt overlays apply a filter, centered at 1kHz, which reaches the noted decibel cut or boost at the extreme ends of the listening spectrum. For example, a +1 Tilt will apply +1 decibel at 20kHz and -1  decibel at 20Hz.
Alternately, a -2 Tilt will apply -2 decibels at 20kHz and +2 decibels at 20Hz.
Please refer to the Adamson PLM & Lake Handbook for detailed instructions on recalling Tilt and Array Shapingoverlays.
