10. renowned Adamson touring products to the installation industry The Point Series has been designed from the ground up to provide a complete solution where point source loudspeakers are preferable over line source arrays When building a point source loudspeaker system one must pay special attention to not only fidelity but box output rigging versatility and pattern control The Point Series is not designed to be hung in large arrays where individual boxes can rely on constructive summation to increase low frequency output To ensure the Point Series low frequency drivers can maintain a high level of low frequency energy when used as a single source or a small 2 or 3 box array Adamson uses Advanced Cone Architecture with Kevlar cone geometry and cutting edge Neodymium driver technologies to ensure maximum SPL with zero cone fatigue while providing minimal axial modes in the passband Adamson has been on the cutting edge of Kevlar cone technology since the mid 80s and has been using Kevlar cones in the low and mid band speakers for over 20 years Combine this technology with long excursion Neodymium magnets and you have superior power handling greater output power and consistently stable low ena all while keeping weight to a minimum The low frequency driver baskets in the Point Series utilize enlarged heat sinks and thermal fins to draw heat away from the coil lowering it s operating temperature and minimizing thermal compression
