Adamson Y18 3-Way Line Array Cabinet
The Adamson Y18 is the original and most powerful enclosure of the Y-Axis series. The Y-Axis series’ design was developed to eliminate mid lobing and comb filtering, with far greater control and coverage than any conventional PA system.
The Y-Axis boasts far field sonic accuracy that sounds like “near field monitors at 50 meters.” The Y18 is a high power, 3-way line array cabinet employs two Adamson mid/high Co-Linear drive modules (with 2 patents granted and 2 pending applications). The Adamson drive module has a co-axial entrance and a co-linear exit comprised of a high frequency sound chamber mounted within a mid frequency sound chamber. The drive module is powered by a proprietary 9” Kevlar mid and a single 1.5” HF compression driver. Together, the drive module, trapezoidal cabinet design with a wrap around grill – deliver a single, uniform, slightly curved, and seamless wavefront of mid and high frequency sound, with no gaps between cabinets. The Y18 LF section features two Adamson’s proprietary AW18 18” Kevlar drivers.
