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 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 finish that allows for easy cleaning and
removal of contaminants like dirt, grime, salt water or sand.
To protect against dust and other particles, a fine 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.
