| 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 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 delivering a single uniform wavefront of mid-/high-frequency sound thereby virtually eliminating mid lobing, comb filtering and time-smear. |

| 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. |
