Adamson Y10 Loudspeaker
The Adamson Y10 is a sub-compact, three-way line array loudspeaker system. At only 10.5-inches high the Y10 is almost half the size of many three-way line arrays. Loaded with a JBL 2451 high-frequency driver, a YX9 Kevlar driver for mid frequencies, and two AX 10-inch low-frequency transducers, the Y10 employs a proprietary Adamson sound chamber, creating curved iso-phase sound sources in the high-/mid-frequency sections. The Y10 delivers a single uniform wavefront of mid-/high-frequency sound, virtually eliminating mid lobing, comb filtering and time-smear.

The Bag End INFRAsub-12 powered subwoofer, designed as the little brother to the company’s INFRAsub-18 model, packs a lot of power into a 57-lb. package. Powered by a 400-watt amplifier and controlled by Bag End’s ELF (Extended Low Frequency) dual integrator, the speaker produces a flat acoustical response down to 8 Hz. The unit accepts single mono low-pass or full-range LCR signal inputs, and provides three line-level high-pass outputs to drive an upper range speaker system.

Bose Panaray MA12 Line Array Loudspeaker
The Bose Panaray MA12 Modular Line Array Loudspeaker contains 12 closely spaced proprietary 2¼-inch drivers delivering high output and full, balanced frequency response. The MA12 line array produces a wedge of sound with wide horizontal coverage but very little top to bottom dispersion. As a result, the negative effects in reverberant spaces are reduced, providing improved clarity and intelligibility to the audience. Also, due to its line array characteristics, the sound level falls off much more gradually than from conventional loudspeakers.
