FRANKFURT, Germany – The 2010 Frankfurt Pro Light + Sound show marked the launch of Adamson's Eklipsa series of horizontal arrays and the expansion of the company's M-Series family of floor monitors.
Eklipsa 12 and Eklipsa 15
The Eklipsa array is available in both a 12-inch bi-amped version and a 15-inch bi-amped version. Both feature Adamson's Advanced Cone Architecture together with Adamson's High Frequency Wave Shaping technology.
Both of Adamson's proprietary, ND12, 12-inch neodymium low-mid transducer and ND15, 15-inch neodymium low-mid transducer, feature a progressive Kevlar cone geometry that reduces modal behaviour, providing an improved and linearized pass-band throughout the vocal range. The High Frequency Wave Shaping sound chambers are designed for a uniform wave front that does not interfere with the adjacent enclosures in the array. Each waveguide is loaded with a 4-inch diaphragm neodymium compression driver allowing for high output.
Eklipsa offers a tight 18 degree x 60 degree horn pattern. Although the primary implementation of the product is aimed at horizontal arrays, multiple cabinets can be flown in a vertical array to further enhance Eklipsa's flexibility. Additional hardware is required to build a vertical array. The Eklipsa series targets touring companies, theatres, nightclubs and live performance venues that do not require the longer throw of a line source system.
Extreme accuracy with tight pattern control is ideal for indoor venues such as houses of worship, where various non ideal surfaces such as large glass windows and hard walls, can cause reflection issues. In clubs and theatres, low ceiling height or missing hanging points can be a bother when trying to fly a vertical line array. The Eklipsa solves these problems.
For outdoor applications, the Eklipsa is well suited for sports arenas and stadiums. Its high SPL and tight dispersion promises a new level of intelligibility to the sport venue application.
M212
The M212 is the latest addition to the M-Series family. Loaded with two ND12, 12-inch neodymium low-mid transducers, each with Adamson's Advanced Cone Architecture, the twin 12 monitor is paired with a 65-degree conical waveguide loaded with a 3-inch diaphragm compression driver. The M212 is a bi-amped cabinet weighing in at a mere 74 lbs. The M-Series is dedicated to demanding performance and with extremely high SPL requirements.
