• The IS119 is a sub compact subwoofer enclosure designed for extended LF capabilities. It has an unobtrusive
visual design which blends seamlessly into the surrounding space. It contains one ND19-S 19” LF driver.
• Up to 16 IS119 can be flown when using the IS10 & IS119 Support Frame.
• The IS119 can be flown in the same array as the IS10 when using an additional IS10 & IS119 Support Frame.
• Adamson’s use of proprietary techologies such as Advanced Cone Architecture give the IS119 an extremely high
maximum SPL level of 138 dB. The nominal impedance of the IS119 is 8 Ω.
• The operational frequency range of the IS119 is 30 Hz to 80 Hz, +/- 3 dB.
• The IS119 is intended to be paired with the IS10 Sub Compact Line Array with a crossover frequency range of
approximately 80 Hz.
• The wooden enclosure is made of marine grade birch plywood, and has an aluminum rigging system mounted
on each corner. Without sacricing lowered resonance to composite material, the IS119 is able to maintain a low
weight of 44.5 kg / 98 lbs.
• The IS119 is designed for use with Lab.gruppen’s D-Series line of installation ampliers.
Product Introduction
IS119 Sub Compact Subwoofer

Adamson Systems Engineering | IS119 User Manual
The IS119 (994-0005) comes with 4x Neutrik Speakon™ NL4 connections, wired in parallel. The 2 rear connections
pass pin 1 +/- to the driver and the 2 front connections pass pin 2 +/- to the driver.
The IS119b (994-0006) comes with an external barrier strip mounted to the rear grill. Terminals 1, +/- are passed to the
driver, terminal 2, +/- are not connected.
To operate the IS119b in FB or FBF cardioid mode, swap the front and rear grills by:
1. Removing the six screws holding each grill to the side rigging pieces
2. Unclipping the grill with the barrier strip from the rear PCB, and swapping the grills
3. Re-clipping the grill with the barrier strip to the front PCB and afx with the same screws

The IS119 is paired with Lab.gruppen D-Series ampliers. Maximum quantities of the IS119 per amplier model
are shown below. For a master list, please refer to the Adamson PLM & Lake Handbook, found on our website.
Use LoadSmart™ verication to ensure that all connections are made properly. On the D-Series line of ampliers,
LoadSmart™ can be accessed through Lake Controller. Please refer to the Adamson Lake & PLM Handbook, which is
included in the Adamson LoadLibrary, which can be found on the Adamson Website.

When flown or stacked in the same array as an IS10, all IS119 presets contain the inherent delay needed to be properly
phase-aligned. When flown separately or ground stacked, IS119 subs should be phase-aligned to the IS10 array using
measurement software.
The Adamson LoadLibrary contains presets designed for 3 different IS119 deployments. Furthermore, there are
presets designed to pair with either the IS7 or the IS10. The below preset descriptions pertain to the standalone
subwoofer presets. For a master list, please refer the Adamson PLM & Lake Handbook, found on our website.
