Weatherized

IS-Series weatherized models add an additional layer of environmental and corrosion protection to Adamson's already
durable cabinet design. Weatherized enclosures are ideal for marine and coastal venues, outdoor stadiums, open-air
performance spaces, and other permanent outdoor installations.
IS-Series weatherized cabinets are rated IP55 and feature the following additional protective features.
Corrosion resistance
Corrosion resistance extends the lifetime performance of your system in outdoor venues where water, salt and acidity
can impact durability and function.
All structural steel elements of Adamson weatherized cabinets – including rigging and rigging links – are made of a
high yield strength stainless steel alloy that offers 100% corrosion resistance.
Cabinet hardware is made of non-plated stainless steel, designed to provide exceptional rust and corrosion resistance,
particularly in high-saline environments.
Environmental sealing
Additional protection of the cabinet helps ensure that loudspeaker performance isn't impeded by the harsh
environments in which your system is deployed.
To guard against water and particle intrusion, the same two-part polyurea coating that gives Adamson cabinets their
life-extending exterior protection is applied to the interior of the enclosure, creating a complete seal. Weatherized
models feature an exterior coating with a distinctive smooth fi nish that allows for easy cleaning and removal of
contaminants like dirt, grime, salt water or sand.
To protect against dust and other particles, a fi ne stainless steel mesh has been added to all points of entry including
behind the front grille screens.
Cabling for the IS-Series weatherized cabinets is pre-wired and protected inside a gasket-sealed jackplate, with gland
nuts in place to seal the connection points.
