Adamson · 2010s

Evidence status · documented

Identity and core specifications are documented; some historical fields remain unavailable.

The Adamson E15 is a three-way line source built around the E-Capsule, an aluminium frame holding the mid and high drivers on Co-Linear Drive Module waveguides, with rigging attached to that core. Two 15-inch Kevlar woofers flank it; dispersion is 90° × 6°.
