Adam Audio has finally released a new product line, the successor to the phenomenally successful AX series, after 10 years the range is getting a full design facelift. The A-series takes the AX range to the next level, pushing the boundaries in regard to studio monitor design.
The new range gives a detailed & accurate reproduction of sound with an amazingly transparent high & low end allowing you to really notice those minor tweaks that make up such a large part of the mixing process. There are 4 models that comprise the range, the A4V, A7V, A44H, A77H and A8H. These speakers will cover applications ranging from professional level - home-based studios, broadcasting to post-production & even home entertainment scenarios.
There are a number of innovations to be found in these speakers including; rotatable HPS waveguide technology and DSP-based room correction and added voicings that enable you to tune the speakers for a specific space. They even have upgradable firmware so that the speakers can be updated as future innovations come out, extending the life of the speakers. As per all Adam Audio speakers, they come with an extended five-year warranty to give you that long-term peace of mind.
A4V - Quality Compacted
These ones are intended for smaller spaces with shorter listening distances. The A4V provides a full & accurate sound field in a space-saving & compact way. It’s a two-way speaker that makes use of a 4” long-throw woofer that is comprised of the same Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibers as all the others in this range and the older X-ART tweeters. The built-in DSP allows you to tune the speaker to match your space, with a frequency range of 53 Hz to 50 kHz it can service a variety of uses from podcasting to post-production, djing to producing, and even works within immersive and binaural environments.
