Built on the foundation of its E-Series E119 subwoofer, Adamson’s custom designed, and in-house manufactured VGs subwoofer boasts a single channel 6kW Class-D Amplifier with on-board DSP. TPi goes under the hood to find out more.
What were some of the goals of the VGs?
“VGs is the second product release in the Vergence Group. As such, this powered subwoofer is the perfect companion for our line-array speaker VGt.”
Where does the VGs fit into Vergence group?
“Like the VGt, the VGs is self-powered and has redundant and daisy-chainable AVB/Milan connectivity allowing the full rig to be controlled by Adamson’s software ArrayIntelligence.”
Which features will excite audio engineers?
“Our single 19-inch speaker delivers a whopping 139 dB Max SPL with a frequency range of 29Hz to 100Hz. The etherCON connectors provide passive continuity when powerless. The entire speaker also only weighs a mere 72.5 kg.”
“Current owners of the E119 passive sub can easily upgrade their gear with the VGs Upgrade Kit, lowering the threshold for current Adamson users to go fully powered and digitally connected with Array Intelligence.”
How has VGs been developed to serve the live entertainment and rental market?
“VGs is lightweight, can be flown or stacked and its integrated rigging ensures efficient truck packing. It saves a ton of ground-stacked equipment such as amp racks and makes cabling more efficient and easier.”
When can users take stock of VGs?
“Orders for the VGs and the upgrade kit are being taken now, but we expect to see these new products shipping in the first quarter of this year.”
Where can we expect to see the new subwoofer in the future?
“The new subwoofer will be presented at NAMM Show, Integrated Systems Europe and Infocomm as well as regional demos around the globe this year.”
