After many years of researching and experimenting, we proudly present the new Adams vibraphone. Our engineers really did the impossible. They created an instrument for all purposes, with bars made out of a special aluminum alloy for high quality sound.
The NEW Adams vibraphone features the following: a 3 octave range ( F-F ), height adjustable Voyager or Endurance Field Frame, graduated aluminum alloy-nickel anodized finished bars, variable speed motor mounted inside the small end piece, welded and precisely constructed rattle free resonators, A=442 tuning, precise dampening mechanism, and removable rails and end pieces.
The frame consists of the well-known height adjustable Voyager frame, which now has the possibility of adding a damping pedal. Solid wheels with brakes give the finishing touch and make the frame stable and durable. The new Adams vibraphone can also be delivered with an Endurance Field Frame, which was introduced last year. This frame enables you to attach other instruments or accessories to the vibraphone with Pearl’s PC50 clamps. Large wheels, with a diameter of 200 mm, ensure optimal comfort during transport on uneven surfaces, e.g. out doors.
The fans in the resonators are driven by a unique patented system. They are driven directly from the side. There is no fan-belt than can be lost during transport. The fans can be stopped in the open position or closed position through simple push buttons.
The entire motor is built into the small side end piece with the fan controls located on top of the end piece. A 12 V adapter drives the motor which eliminates any voltage on the instrument at any time. The speed of the motor is variable from 25 – 150 rpm. This compact solution is perfect for both manufacturer and musician in case of repairs or maintenance.
The damping mechanism can be fully adjusted in both pressure and height to create a unique feel and comfortably fit any player. The bar damping felt is of the highest quality and produces true silent damping.
