1.0 Introduction
This manual is designed to give the S-Series user the necessary information to accurately
fly or stack S-Series loudspeakers in all the available congurations, as well as the proper
deployment and use of S-Series loudspeakers. Safe step by step rigging procedures will be
outlined, as well as example system congurations, correct wiring and amplication and
transport.
1.1 Overview
Whether it is amplication, control, networking and monitoring, the S-Series packaging is built
to perform and endure. Our alliances have been made with companies that are leading the industry in their technologies and in their ideologies: Dante-networking, Lake-processing and
Lab.gruppen-amplication. After all it’s the total system performance that matters.
Low-mid frequency lobing is a common side-effect of traditional 2-way enclosures. To solve this problem, Adamson has introduced Controlled Summation Technology, which reduces the spacing between mid frequency sources by outwardly splaying the drivers and using overlap control between mid frequency and high frequency sources to suppress the interference normally associated with this type of design. Doing this also allows the high frequency sound chamber to retain its exit size, ensuring that it retains its superior directivity control.
Adamson’s SlideLock rigging system has been designed to remove operator stress while adding confidence. A single technician can safely and quickly fly the entire rig, setting angles while the cabinets are sitting securely on the 4-up dolly. Once the array is lifted, all cabinets simply align into 1 of 9 incremental splay positions.

1.3 S10 Spec Sheet
S10
The S10 is a 2-way, full range line array cabinet containing 2x ND10-LM
Kevlar Neodymium drivers (2x 16 Ω) and an NH4TA2 1.5” exit com­pression driver (8 Ω). The critically optimized sound chamber produces
a slightly curved wavefront with a nominal dispersion pattern of 110°
x 10° (H x V). The chamber’s efciency allows for increased vertical dispersion without sacricing high frequency presence in the far eld.
Patent-pending Controlled Summation Technology further eliminates low-mid lobing normally associated with 2-way line source systems.
The cabinet construction uses marine grade birch plywood as well as aircraft grade steel and aluminum, and is equipped with two Speakon™ NL8 connectors. The rigging system incorporates the best aspects of previous advancements in our new SlideLock rigging technology.
The S10 is suited to a wide variety of applications. Its full range capa-
bility (60 Hz) at reasonable levels qualies for applications where sub is not required. Increased vertical coverage (10°) enables the S10 to
cover theaters, arenas and stadiums with reasonable speaker quantity. Other target applications include dance clubs, medium size festivals, corporate events and contemporary churches.

1.7 Cardioid Subs
Every Adamson subwoofer has specifically designed cardioid presets. Adamson utilizes three configurations ranging from a minimal footprint and minimized rear rejection to larger setups that eliminate virtually all audio energy behind the array. Please refer to the Lake Preset Loading Manual for further instructions.
Front-Back
The FB preset should be used in situations where a minimal footprint is desired. Only 2 enclosures stacked ensures that sightlines will not be impaired.
End-Fire 66
The EF66 preset should be used in situations where the most rear cancellation is desired. Unlike traditional end-fire arrays, Adamson’s proprietary preset eliminates a wide range of frequencies in the rear of the array.
Front-Back-Front
The FBF preset exhibits higher output from the front of the array. A similar footprint to the FB configuration, this stack is 3 enclosures high.

IMPORTANT OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
The SlideLock Rigging System
The SlideLock Rigging System allows for the operator to set enclosure angles while still stacked on the dolly. A series of push pins maintain angular position and lock in connecting rigging pieces. Caution should be taken while connecting cabinets to ensure hands are out of the way.
The order of operation of the rigging system is: prep angles, remove connection pins, guide into place and secure connecting pins.
There are 9 angles, 0 to 8, and an additional ‘Storage’ being the ‘idle’ or ‘rest’ position, when the rigging hardware is all the way down and the boxes aren’t connected. It is applicable when the enclosure is not in use, to protect the rigging hardware from damage. To keep the system intact for transport, leave the angles pinned in.
The angles are numbered as well as color coded to mark which slot should be pinned with the attached
push-pin. (Fig. 2) The following

2. Make sure the bottom back link pins on the bottom box are removed.
3. Connect the dolly to the bottom cabinet.
4. If the bottom cabinets are at a steep angle and it is unsafe to continue to lower the array, two crew members should be used to support the weight of the cabinet at all times; before the dolly has ground contact,
(the dolly should never tip over as in (Fig. 3) push the hang to the front
in order to prevent the dolly to tip over, then proceed lowering the array
(Fig.2); release the bottom back links pins above this cabinet to free the
rear of the bottom cabinet.
5. All front levers should stay connected. This will allow you to raise the
motors until the frame is no longer steeply angled. (Fig. 4)
6. Remove the top front link pins on the top cabinet in the 4 stack to release and allow the bottom 4 cabinets to separate from the array.
7. Lift the array just above the 4 stack and wheel 4 stack out from under array. (Fig. 5)
