IS7px Ultra-Compact Point Source
- The IS7px is an ultra-compact point source enclosure. It contains internal passive crossover, 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 IS7px is 80Hz to 18kHz. The use of proprietary technologies such as Advanced Cone Architecture allows high maximum SPL.
- 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 IS7px weighs only 15 kg / 33 lbs.
- The IS7px is intended to be used as either a standalone system or a fill enclosure in tandem with other IS-Series products.
- The IS7px is designed for use with Lab. gruppen’s D-Series line of installation amplifiers. The IS7px is designed to pair easily and coherently with IS-Series subwoofers.
Wiring
- The IS7px (967-0006, 967-0009, 967-5006, 967-5009) comes with 2x Neutrik SpeakonTM NL4 connections, wired in parallel.
- The IS7pbx (967-0007, 967-0010, 967-5007, 967-5010) comes with an external barrier strip.
- Pins 1+/- are connected to the internal passive crossover.
- Pins 2+/- are not connected.
Amplification
The IS7px is paired with Lab.Gruppen D-Series amplifiers.
Maximum quantities of the IS7px 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

Presets
The Adamson Load Library (https://www.adamsonsystems.com/support
/downloads-directory/design-and-control/erack/245-adamson-load-
library-5-0-1/file) contains presets designed for a variety of IS7px
applications. Furthermore, there are presets designed to pair with either
Adamson subs, or Adamson Line Arrays. For a master list, please refer the
Adamson PLM & Lake Handbook, found on our website.

Weatherized
IS-Series weatherized models add an additional layer of environmental and
corrosion protection to Adamson’s already durable cabinet design. Weatherized
enclosures are ideal for marine and coastal venues, outdoor stadiums, open-air
performance spaces, and other permanent outdoor installations.
IS-Series weatherized cabinets feature the following additional protective
features.
Corrosion resistance
Corrosion resistance extends the lifetime performance of your system in
outdoor venues where water, salt, and acidity can impact durability and
function.
All structural steel elements of Adamson weatherized cabinets including
rigging and rigging links are made of a high yield strength stainless steel
alloy that offers 100% corrosion resistance.
Cabinet hardware is made of non-plated stainless steel, designed to provide
exceptional rust and corrosion resistance, particularly in high-saline
environments.
Environmental sealing
Additional protection of the cabinet helps ensure that loudspeaker performance
isn’t impeded by the harsh environments in which your system is deployed.
To guard against water and particle intrusion, the same two-part polyurea
coating that gives Adamson cabinets their life-extending exterior protection
is applied to the interior of the enclosure, creating a complete seal.
Weatherized models feature an exterior coating with a distinctively smooth
finish that allows for easy cleaning and removal of contaminants like dirt,
grime, saltwater, or sand.
To protect against dust and other particles, a fine stainless steel mesh has
been added to all points of entry including behind the front grille screens.
Cabling for the IS-Series weatherized cabinets is pre-wired and protected
inside a gasket-sealed jack plate, with gland nuts in place to seal the
connection points.
