This range of active monitor loudspeakers from ADAM Audio have been designed for use in home or professional studios, although are increasingly used in surround or Dolby Atmos systems. This range of monitors has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty with an option to extend for an additional 3 years via product registration.
D3V Desktop, 3.5-inch woofer
Available in black or white finish, D3V is an active desktop monitoring system designed for songwriters and producers who have limited desktop space for monitors. The active monitors feature a golden ribbon tweeter, that has become famous with ADAM, along with a 3.5-inch aluminium woofer with ferrite magnets. The woofers, which are driven by 80watt amplifiers, are complemented by dual-sided 3.5-inch passive radiators which allow a frequency extension down to 45Hz at -6dB. The 1.5-inch D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter) allows frequencies up to 23.2kHz, also at -6dB.
The rear-facing panel of the left loudspeaker features a range of switches to allow the user to adjust the sound according to stand/wall/corner position, large/small/no desk, and treated/moderate/untreated room. A USB-C input allows users to connect a digital output device such as computer, along with dual analogue audio inputs via 6.35mm jack connections. 24V, 2.5A power input is positioned to the bottom right corner of the left side monitor, and finally a multipin output allows the connection from left to right monitor. The front panel includes a headphone socket and associated volume control that doubles as a control for the audio input selection, muting and other functions. The monitors are supplied with detachable monitor stands that focus the sound to a 15-degree angle. alternatively the underside of the monitor has a 3/8-inch thread mount for connecting to mounts such as desk microphone stand.
Included accessories: 2x angled stands. 6x desktop pads, 1x 2m loudspeaker link cable, 1x PSU, 1x 1m USB-C to USB-C cable, and 1x USB-C to USB-A adapter.
Frequency response: 45Hz to 23.2kHz, -6dB. AC input voltage: 100-240V, 50/60Hz. Dimensions (HxWxD): 200 x 115 x 150mm, excluding stand; 240 x 115 x 150mm, with stand. Weight: 1.85kg, left speaker; 1.73kg, right speaker.
A4V 2-way, 4-inch woofer
Designed for smaller studio spaces with shorter listening distances, ADAM Audio A4V is an active monitor with a maximum SPL of 100dB at 1m. This two-way speaker incorporates a 4-inch long-throw woofer made from Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibres, along with a rotatable X-ART tweeter. A frequency range of 53Hz to 42kHz at -6dB allows a 'full-bodied' sound, and the onboard DSP-based electronics allow greater tuning capabilities to enable the user to setup for their unique space.
The D class amplification for the 25mm (1-inch) voice coil of the woofer has an RMS of 110watts, whilst the dedicated AB type midrange/tweeter amp produces 20watts RMS. The crossover frequency is set at 3kHz. The rear facing panel of the monitor has four bands of room adaptation equalization, including Bass, Desk, Presence and Treble. Each band is adjustable in predefined steps to help compensate for the typical acoustic problems that arise from speaker placement. 'Voicing' control allows pre-defined sound profiles, including 'UNR' - a uniform natural response; and 'Pure' - a 'highly accurate' neutral sound. The 'Ext' option is dedicated to the extended functionality that comes with A Control via the Ethernet connection. Using A Control’s six-band EQ, a custom voicing and be created and pushed to the monitor.
Analogue input is by way of single balanced 3-pin XLR connection or single unbalanced RCA (phono). Level is controlled by a rotary controller ranging from -12dB to +12dB. Power input, which is switched, is by way of IEC AC mains connector.
Frequency response: 53Hz to 42kHz, -6dB. AC input voltage: 100-240V, 50/60Hz. Dimensions (HxWxD): 268 x 158 x 220mm. Weight: 5.8kg.
A44H 2-way, 2x 4-inch woofer
This monitor has a width of 19-inches and can therefore be mounted on a standard rack shelf, below a display, or on standard monitor stands. In a 3D speaker configuration the monitor is also commonly used as the centre speaker. ADAM Audio A44V is an active monitor with a maximum SPL of 103dB at 1m. This two-way speaker incorporates 2x 4-inch long-throw woofers made from Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibres, along with a rotatable X-ART tweeter. A frequency range of 46Hz to 45kHz at -6dB and 49Hz to 41kHz at -3dB, allows similar performance characteristics are the A7V.
The D class amplification for the 25mm (1-inch) voice coil of the woofer has an RMS of 110watts, whilst the dedicated AB type midrange/tweeter amp produces 20watts RMS. The crossover frequency is set at 2.4kHz. The rear facing panel of the monitor has four bands of room adaptation equalization, including Bass, Desk, Presence and Treble. Each band is adjustable in predefined steps to help compensate for the typical acoustic problems that arise from speaker placement. 'Voicing' control allows pre-defined sound profiles, including 'UNR' - a uniform natural response; and 'Pure' - a 'highly accurate' neutral sound.
