Solton AD 82

Solton AD 82 — an adapter frame connecting the RB 82 line array module to the A 18 FL Sub subwoofer, allowing both elements to be flown as one cohesive system. A cluster combining a flown subwoofer with line array sections needs a part that mechanically joins two different enclosure types into one structure hung from a shared mounting point. AD 82 is that link: an adapter frame fitted between the A 18 FL Sub and the RB 82 module, carrying the load of both elements to one certified hanging point.

A Hybrid Cluster Without Separate Hanging Points

Flying a subwoofer and a line array section from two independent mounting points complicates load calculations and slows down rigging before a show, especially on a tight setup window. AD 82 joins the A 18 FL Sub and the RB 82 module into one coherent structure, giving a tech a single hanging point instead of two separate rigging setups to calculate and install.

Consistent Geometry Between Sub and RB 82 Module

Connecting a subwoofer to a line array section with an improvised link leads to uncontrolled axis misalignment and a loss of acoustic coherence in the cluster. The AD 82 frame maintains the designed connection geometry between the A 18 FL Sub and the RB 82, giving a repeatable, predictable result on every setup of the hybrid system.
