Adamson is announcing the arrival of VGx, the largest and most powerful full-range addition to the acclaimed Vergence Group. Capitalizing on the ground-breaking transducer, wave-shaping and amplification technology first introduced with VGt, VGx represents the pinnacle of what is possible in loudspeaker technology. By every measure, size, weight, and output, VGx is the most efficient and best-sounding product available today.
Clarity and Efficiency
The secret weapon, the M140 mid-rage transducer able to produce audio from 250 Hz up to 6 kHz with low distortion and a very high sensitivity.
VGx utilizes three M140 mid-range transducers and three NH3-V-16 high frequency compression drivers on a newly designed 3° coaxial mid-high assembly with a horizontal coverage of 80°.
Our product development staff have worked tirelessly to optimize these geometries, resulting in 1.5dB extra headroom per element, compared with VGt.
The SD 18, a newly developed high BL powerful 18” driver with an inside/outside dual wound voice coil and utilizing the motor technology of the T21 subwoofer, provides rock-solid low end, while the ND13-S used in VGt now provides low-end support and directionality as a side firing driver in VGx.
The max SPL delivered by each VGx reaches 153 dB.
Industry-Leading Directivity
VGx exhibits 22dB of rear rejection across it’s entire bandwidth – beating out the already best-in-class VGt. And if cardioid isn’t what you’re looking for, then omni presets are also available allowing to sum the side transducers with the front 18”. Both presets offers an extended version which brings the low section of VGx down to 40 Hz.
Power and Control
A new Class-D 18 KW peak amplifier containing six modules, the DSP and the networked audio, powers VGx, with two full bridge channels devoted to the low frequency section, and four half-bridge channels powering independently the side firing ND13-S, the three M-140 and the three NH3-V-16 ensuring lots of headroom across the board. Two VGd are powered in parallel per 16A circuit.
Dimensionally VGx is 146 cm wide, 56 cm deep and 46 cm tall, and weighs 118 kg.
A Complete Ecosystem
To bolster VGx, Adamson is also releasing two new subwoofers. The Adamson VGd is a large-format subwoofer enclosure and the largest subwoofer enclosure in Vergence Group. Designed to keep up with the high output capabilities of the full-range products, VGd exhibits a Max SPL of 148 dB. With two SD21.5 transducers front-loaded, as well as two SD18 transducers rear-loaded, VGd is a dedicated cardioid subwoofer weighing 152 kg. Four parallel Class-D channels power each transducer paired with a 3.4 kW switch mode power supply.
To complement VGd, VGo utilizes the same technology and transducers but in a single driver format weighing 111 kg. VGo also utilize on-board Class-D amplification. Two parallel Class-D channels power each transducer paired with a 2-kW switch mode power supply. Both subs have built-in rigging and can faithfully reproduce audio to 27 Hz and share the new SD21.5, the next generation symmetrical drive transducer with a new inside/outside wound dual 5” voice coil capable of exceptional XMax.
“Two years of successful Vergence Group deployments have resulted in accelerated interest and desire for new, larger products in Vergence Group. While VGx systems have already completed months of field testing on high-profile tours and events and are slated to appear on several global tours in the coming months.
We are excited for audio professionals around the world to get the chance to hear the best sounding loudspeaker available on the market.“ – Jeremiah Karni, Technical Brand Manager.
