Adamson Systems has announced the E119 compact subwoofer, the newest member of the E-Series loudspeaker family, and one that provides powerful low end while packing well into U.S. and European trucks and sea containers.
Developed with input from Eighth Day Sound, the enclosure is loaded with one long-excursion 19-inch SD19 Kevlar Neodymium driver utilizing Adamson’s Advanced Cone Architecture and Symmetrical Drive Technology.
The driver employs a dual 5-inch voice coil for exceptional power handling with a dual-spider suspension system for extra stability even under extreme excursion. The front-loaded enclosure is designed to reproduce clean, musical, low frequency information.
The enclosure measures 22.5 x 29.5 x 35 inches (572 x 749 x 889 mm) and weighs 125 pounds (56.7 kg). Stated frequency range is 30 Hz – 60 Hz and a maximum peak SPL is 138 dB.
The E119 can be flown using the E-Frame Sub. The cabinet construction uses marine grade birch plywood as well as aircraft grade steel and aluminum, and is equipped with four Speakon NL4 connectors, two parallel In/Out rear plugs and two dedicated cardioid input connectors in the front. The new sub can travel on installed casters or on a 3-high covered dolly.
The slim profile of the E119 allows users to achieve long flown arrays with greater directional control and a lower overall weight. Because the integrated rigging system allows for either 0- or 3-degree splay between adjacent cabinets, the array’s directionality can be further modified while also helping end users keep sightlines open.
“Listening to our customer’s needs is part of what makes our product line so strong,” states James Oliver, marketing and sales director for Adamson. “The E119 provides tremendous low end in a compact, efficient package that travels well here and overseas. It is an ideal addition to our flagship E-Series PA.”
The subwoofer has already been utilized in a number of live sound and installed applications. It has been on the road with the Chris Brown and Macklemore tours and has also deployed at the OVO, Landmark and Summer Jam festivals last summer. In addition, San Diego nightclub Observatory North Park and Toronto’s Sony Centre for the Performing Arts have both installed the E119.
