1.7 Cardioid Subs
Introduction & Product Details
Every Adamson subwoofer has specifically designed cardioid presets. Adamson utilizes three
configurations ranging from a minimal footprint and minimized rear rejection to larger setups
that eliminate virtually all audio energy behind the array. Please refer to the Lake Preset Loading
Manual for further instructions.
Front-Back-Front
The FBF preset exhibits higher output from
the front of the array. A similar footprint
to the FB configuration, this stack is 3
enclosures high.

Only 2 enclosures stacked ensures that
sightlines will not be impaired.

End-Fire 66
The EF66 preset should be used
in situations where the most
rear cancellation is desired.
Unlike traditional end-fire
arrays, Adamson’s proprietary
preset eliminates a wide range
of frequencies in the rear of the
array.
