IS7p Ultra-Compact Point Source
- The IS7p is an ultra-compact point source enclosure. It contains two symmetrically arrayed 7” LF transducers and a 3” HF compression driver mounted on an Adamson waveguide, available in two configurations; with dispersion patterns of either 70° x 40° (HxV) or 100° x 50° (HxV) each rotatable in increments of 90°.
- The operational frequency range of the IS7p is 80Hz to 18kHz. The use of proprietary technologies such as Advanced Cone Architecture allows a high maximum SPL of 136.5 dB.
- The enclosure has an unobtrusive visual design that blends seamlessly into the surrounding space, is made of marine-grade birch plywood, and has steel rigging discs on the top, bottom, and on each side, to be used with a wide variety of rigging accessories. Without sacrificing low resonance to the composite material, the IS7p weighs only 15 kg / 33.1 lbs.
- The IS7p is intended to be used as either a standalone system or a fill enclosure in tandem with other IS-Series products. The IS7p is designed to pair easily and coherently with all IS-Series subwoofers.
- The IS7p is designed for use with Lab. Gruppen’s D-Series line of installation amplifiers. The nominal impedance of the IS7p is 8 Ω per band, maximizing amplifier efficiency.
Wiring
- The IS7p (70×40 – 967-0001/100×50 – 967-0003) comes with 2x Neutrik Speakon™ NL4 connections, wired in parallel.
- The IS7pb (70×40 – 967-0002/100×50 967-0005) comes with an external barrier strip.
- Pins 1+/- are connected to the 2x ND7-LM16 MF transducers, wired in parallel.
- Pins 2+/- are connected to the NH3-8 HF transducer.
IS7p & IS7pb Internal Wiring (IS7pb only has one input)
Amplification
The IS7p is paired with Lab.Gruppen D-Series amplifiers. Maximum quantities of the IS7p per amplifier model are shown below. For a master list, please refer to the Adamson Amplification Chart, found on the Adamson website. https://adamsonsystems.com/support/downloads-directory/is-series/is7p/327 -max-enclosures-peramplifier-v5-0-1-7-1-1
