Overview
The Adamson IS7 is a compact two way line array cabinet from the integration focused IS Series. It pairs two 7 inch ND7-LM8 low-mid drivers with an NH3-16 compression driver on a waveguide that gives a 100° x 12.5° pattern, and reaches down to 80 Hz.
The wider 12.5° vertical pattern means fewer boxes cover a small to mid size room, and Adamson's Controlled Summation Technology reduces the low-mid lobing common in two way line sources. It suits performing arts centres, live venues, sports venues, conference centres and churches, with the IS118 as its companion sub.
Highlights
- Compact two way line array, 100° x 12.5° coverage
- Full range to 80 Hz, often usable without subs
- 138 dB maximum peak SPL
- Controlled Summation Technology to reduce low-mid lobing
- Marine grade birch ply with aircraft grade aluminium and steel
- Rigging recessed in the rear fins for quick assembly
- 2x Speakon NL4, barrier strips on request

Forefront Tip
Model the room in Adamson's Blueprint software before you settle on box count and splay angles. With 12.5° per box the IS7 covers a lot of vertical space, so a short hang often does the job, and adding a couple of IS118 subs in a cardioid arrangement keeps low end off the stage.
