So going for either of these would keep me in the 5" territory, which I am afraid would be not ideal for techno… Which models do you guys have? Photo: Mike CameronI was intrigued when I heard that Adam were to launch the A5 monitor speaker, as it is effectively the baby brother to the A7 — one of the monitors I use on a regular basis in my own studio. The treble is very good in particular, it's got a very smooth and natural sound; cymbals sound like cymbals!

Adam's Trademark X-ART Ribbon TweetersThe A5X incorporates one of Adam's instantly recognizable folded-ribbon tweeters. Once you have some ideas about which monitors are out there, see if you can hear the pair you’re considering at your local pro audio dealer.Instead of producing sound with a piston-like diaphragm like most loudspeakers, ADAM Audio's X-ART folded-ribbon tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm capable of moving air four times faster than the folds themselves are moving. As for the 4-inchers, yep most online comments, and now yours on top, conclude that the 4" will be too small for electronic music so I am eliminating all of them from my list as well. Is it possible to stuff a certain kind of damping material or certain port design that shuts out higher frequencies but let the lower frequencies through?

Comprising five models, the A4V, A7V, A44H, A77H and A8H are the right fit for an array of professional and home studios — as well as broadcast, fixed-installation, 3D, immersive, and home audio environments. Stereolink is a feature unique to Adam monitor range that allows you to control the volume for dual monitors via the control knob of only one. Adam's A7 two‑way active monitor has proven to be a firm favourite with project studio owners, so I was particularly keen to see how the new A7X could improve on the original. With a 19-inch width, the horizontally oriented A44H can sit in a standard rack shelf or be mounted above or below a screen. According to the published spec, the A7Xs have a frequency response of 42Hz to 50kHz, a long‑term output capability of over 106dB and a maximum peak‑level capability of 114dB.As audio is fed into the ribbon, the moving folds produce four times the air‑loading of a flat diaphragm of the same frontal area, and up to 2. Getting a sub sounds like trouble for my room, but I’ve never used one before so have no experience whatsoever. I was afraid these changes might dilute the mid-forward magic of ADAM’s original designs, but so far, they appear to have pulled it off. I felt a real sense of separation between the component parts of a mix, with a much enhanced impression of front‑to‑back perspective.

Professional engineers and industry publications have been nearly unanimous in their praise of the Adam A5X. An extended five-year warranty offer plus post-warranty support ensure these monitors will continue to perform at their best for many years to come. Embracing, exploiting, and working with modern materials has allowed ADAM Audio to formulate loudspeaker components that continually elevate the state of the art in studio monitor design. ADAM Audio monitors have earned a worldwide reputation as the pre-eminent tool for sound engineers based on our technological innovations in the field of loudspeaker technology.

This subreddit is for the budget minded audiophile that wants to grow out of soundbars, boomboxes, mini systems, portable bluetooth, lifestyle speakers, and PC peripheral branded audio solutions. The amplifier features an internal bandwidth of more than 1 MHz, delivering an ultra-wide response up to 300kHz. Better speakers, amplifiers and cabinets mean the AX series speakers are better for your mixes than ever before. This material with minimum weight and maximum rigidity prevents break up resonances, resulting in an outstanding dynamic behaviour and impeccable sound characteristics.

Adam Audio offers 2 years warranty with an optional extension to 3 years with the registration of the product, and full repair service for 5 years, if required. When these three materials are combined together, the result is an ultra-lightweight yet extremely rigid material that provides excellent transient responses. Owned A5s for years, they were decent but not at all worth it compared to the newer, better T5V anymore. As an evangelical fan of the original S3A and A7, I didn’t really think the ADAM line needed to change much, and was worried that the company would lose sight of what made their products great as they tried to open up to an even wider market.Legendary German microphone builder Neumann recently acquired Klein and Hummel for its own line of monitors. Their high end was smooth, extended and accurate, and their midrange was brutally honest – never scooped or gussied-up. is a lot of money though for a speaker that doesn't handle deep bass so think about that relative to its competitors. With the release of the AX and SX series of speakers, ADAM has responded to the market, and the look and sound of their ADAM has become glossier. This well‑damped, laminated construction is more rigid than the more commonly‑used paper or polypropylene cones, and the increased power handling certainly seems to have helped out.
