IS10p User Manual
IS10p
• The IS10p is a sub-compact point source enclosure designed with high output level and high clarity in mind. It has
an unobtrusive visual design which blends seamlessly into the surrounding space. It contains two symmetrically
arrayed 10” transducers and a 3” compression driver mounted on an Adamson waveguide.
• The high frequency waveguide is rotateable in increments of 90°. The nominal dispersion pattern is 70° x 40°
(HxV). A 100° x 50° high frequency waveguide is also available.
• Adamson’s use of proprietary techologies such as Advanced Cone Architecture give the IS10p an extremely high
maximum SPL level of 139 dB.
• The nominal impedance of the IS10p is 8 Ω per band, maximizing amplier efciency.
• The operational frequency range of the IS10p is 60Hz to 18kHz, +/- 3 dB.
• The IS10p is intended to be used as either a standalone system, or a ll enclosure in tandem with other IS-Series
products. The IS10p is designed to pair easily and coherently with IS-Series subwoofers.
• The wooden enclosure is made of marine grade birch plywood, and has a steel rigging system mounted on each
side. Without sacricing low resonance to composite material, the IS10p is able to maintain a low weight of 21 kg /
46.3 lbs.
• The IS10p is designed for use with Lab.gruppen’s D-Series line of installation ampliers.
