powered by two Lab.gruppen PLM10000Q amplifiers – based on technology from Lab.gruppen’s FP+ series, and delivers 4 x 2,300W of output
power. Patented Lab.gruppen technology provides the efficiency of Class D amplification with the sonic qualities of Class B designs. Slightly longer in the tooth,

Adamsonpreviewed the next phase of the company’s Project Energia at Prolight + Sound this year. The company is in the early stages of Beta II, which will see a Class D amplifier module shock-mounted to the inside of the hub of the e-Capsule – the centre of the E15 line source system launched in July 2011.
Brock Adamson told PSNEurope: “The scope of Energia is far greater than just the E15 system. Energia is the future of our technology at Adamson, and it will be scaled into our products throughout the range.” On display at Frankfurt was Adamson’s red-hot master Ground Control system. The unit features a built in UPS – which will slave multiple distribution panels – and will provide advanced diagnostics on angular data of every enclosure, voltage and current monitoring, voice coil temperature, amp temperature, and individual band control in every cabinet.
Phase Two roll-out of Project Energia: the amp rack
A new subwoofer – the T18 – is also part of the Beta II roll-out – a prototype of which was on display, and Adamson is promising more products to come: “We are scheduled to release two additional loudspeakers in Beta II with power, ground control and distribution over the next six months,” said Adamson. “The response to our sneak peak of this technology at Frankfurt was received with incredible enthusiasm.” Beta II field-testing with clients will begin in May.
Compact in size, the ESM26 Stage Monitor delivers incredible clarity and high output that defies its small dimensions. Quite simply, the twin six-and-horn configuration of the ESM26 provides superb vocal reproduction.
The ESM26 incorporates KV2’s unique analog delay line technology, incorporated into the speaker’s crossover network.
