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.
Read the appropriate IS-Series Rigging Manual before installing the product.
Pay attention to rigging instructions included in both Blueprint AV™ and the IS-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.

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 (967-0001, 967-0003, 967-5001, 967-5003) comes with 2x Neutrik Speakon™ NL4 connections, wired in parallel.
• The IS7pb (967-0002, 967-0004, 967-5002, 967-5004) 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.

Amplification

The IS7p is paired with Lab. gruppen D-Series amplifiers.
Maximum quantities of the IS7p per amplifier model are shown below.

Presets

The Adamson Load Library
(http://adamsonsystems.com/support/downloads-directory/design-and- control/erack/245-adamson-load-library-5-0-1/file) contains presets designed for a variety of IS7p 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. https://adamsonsystems.com/support/downloads-directory/design-and- control/e-rack/205-adamson-plm-lakehandbook/file

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.
