Monitoring

The D3V is a fully active desktop monitor system designed for composers, producers and music lovers who want to enjoy ADAM Audio's sound quality as comfortably as possible. Available in white or black, the active monitors feature the legendary gold-coloured ribbon tweeter and remain true to ADAM Audio's established German industrial design.Each pair of active speakers features 3.5-inch aluminium bass-midrange drivers and a ferrite magnet system powered by 80-watt amplifiers. The bass-midrange drivers are complemented by double-sided 3.5-inch passive radiators, giving the D3V an extended frequency response down to 45 Hz.With 25 years of experience in the design and manufacture of ribbon tweeters, ADAM Audio has designed the compact 1.5-inch D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter). It enables the precise, unagitated high-frequency reproduction for which the manufacturer's established monitors are known.The D3V has a USB-C input. Accordingly, the monitor system behaves like a digital output device when connected to a computer and does not require an additional audio interface for playback. This plug-and-play functionality also extends to mobile devices, so that high-quality sound reproduction can be enjoyed without the data compression or conversion typically associated with such connections. The D3V also features balanced 6.35 mm TRS inputs for conventional analogue audio applications.The rear of the left speaker has a series of user-friendly switches to solve the typical acoustic problems associated with speaker placement. The front panel also features a headphone jack and a volume control that simultaneously controls audio input selection, muting and other functions.The D3V comes complete with detachable monitor stands, which are inclined at an angle of 15° towards the user's ears. In addition, there is a standardised 3/8" thread on the underside of both monitors for mounting on microphone stands.Fully active 3.5-inch aluminium bass/midrange driver with ferrite magnet systemOptimised via ADAM Audio's state-of-the-art Klippel measurement system, the extremely symmetrical voice coils and ferrite magnets help to minimise unwanted distortion and provide a linear drive to the bass-midrange drivers. Each one-piece concave cone is made of ribbed, thick aluminium with a long linear excursion that delivers uncoloured sound even at surprisingly high output levels.The D3V is a fully active design with four amplifier channels and DSP-controlled crossover. The bass-midrange drivers are powered by 80-watt amplifiers, with the link connection cable transmitting an amplified signal to the right speaker.D-ART tweeterA quarter of a century of research and development into ribbon tweeters has led to the development of ADAM Audio's powerful 1.5" Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter. Each diaphragm is hand-folded and bonded to 40W amplifiers that drive each unit. Like all other ADAM Audio tweeters, the D-ART features a fine-tuned crossover managed by a high-precision signal processor.Passive radiatorThe D3V utilises double-sided passive radiators in each speaker, a total of four per system. Each passive radiator consists of a stainless steel plate as the moving mass and a specially stabilised long excursion rubber surround as the suspension. Together they amplify the lowest frequencies of the loudspeaker through their interaction with the main bass-midrange drivers and thus contribute to an increase in the sound pressure level of the overall system.USB-C direct inputThe D3V is ADAM Audio's most convenient monitor system to date, as it features a plug-and-play USB-C input. The speakers behave like a digital output device when connected to a computer, mobile phone or tablet, eliminating the need for an additional audio interface. This direct digital connection enables high-quality audio playback without the data compression or additional conversion typically associated with desktop monitors.DSP room acousticsThere are three switches on the rear panel of the left speaker to counteract the typical acoustic problems resulting from speaker placement. "POSITION" refers to the fixed position of the speaker in the room. "DESK" refers to the size of the desk in front of the speaker, while "ROOM" refers to the degree of acoustic damping in the room in which the system is used.Balanced analogue inputsIn addition to the USB-C input, the D3V has analogue inputs for conventional audio applications. It enables balanced connections to audio interfaces as well as direct connections to a wide range of hardware, including synthesisers, drum machines, samplers and DJ mixing consoles. The USB-C connection or the balanced analogue inputs can be selected by pressing the volume control on the left speaker.Headphone output, monitor stand and mounting optionsFunctionality and convenience played a major role in the design of the D3V. The headphone output on the front automatically takes over audio playback when connected. Monitor stands angled at 15° are also included. In addition, there is a standardised 3/8" thread on the underside of both monitors for mounting on microphone stands.Injection moulded housingThe housing of the D3V is made of high-quality ABS injection-moulded polycarbonate with thick walls and ample bracing to prevent vibrations and unwanted resonances. The rounded shape reduces unwanted sound diffraction at high frequencies while honouring ADAM Audio's long-established industrial design.

The T7V is a nearfield studio monitor and is designed as a vertically orientated 2-way system. The T7V has a 7" woofer that enables bass reproduction down to 39 Hz, while the cone of the U-ART tweeter offers an unadulterated and extended high frequency range of up to 25 kHz. The U-ART tweeter is fitted with a precision waveguide that has the same excellent dispersion characteristics as the High Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide used in the S-Series studio monitors. The very even reproduction of the high frequencies by the waveguide ensures an incredibly wide sweet spot, which saves you from having to remain in a fixed position while working.The metal rear panel of the T7V houses the bass reflex port as well as numerous controls and analogue connections. The U-ART tweeter is powered by a 20 W amplifier, while a 50 W amplifier drives the woofer. This powerhouse in a slim cabinet delivers an impressive maximum sound pressure level of 110 dB SPL per pair.The T7V's wide frequency response, wide dynamic range, excellent transient response, wide sweet spot and small footprint make it ideal for use in small control rooms for music production, video post-production and broadcast - an interesting option for the limited budgets that many facilities have to work with.The ADAM Sub8 subwoofer is the perfect complement to the T7V to extend the possibilities of low frequency monitoring.

The T5V is an extremely budget-friendly 2-way nearfield monitor and has been optimised for use in smaller control rooms.The T5V has a 5" woofer that enables bass extension down to 45 Hz. The new U-ART offers a pristine and extended high frequency response of up to 25 kHz and represents a groundbreaking solution for high-resolution recordings and mixes on a tight budget. The U-ART tweeter features a precision waveguide with the same excellent dispersion characteristics as the High Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide used in the S-Series studio monitors. The very even reproduction of high frequencies by the waveguide ensures an incredibly wide sweet spot, which saves you from having to remain in a fixed position while working.A new cabinet with a small footprint, bevelled edges and a bass reflex port on the rear allows placement anywhere in the room, no matter how small. The T5V also features DSP-controlled crossovers and equalisers as well as analogue connection options (XLR/cinch). Powered by a 50 W Class-D amplifier for the woofer and a 20 W Class-D amplifier for the U-ART tweeter, the T5V achieves impressive peak levels of 106 dB SPL per pair. With its excellent acoustic properties, small dimensions and outstanding price/performance ratio, this studio monitor is very well suited for use in small control rooms for music production, video post-production and broadcasting.If you need even more bottom end: the T5V is compatible with the ADAM Sub7 and Sub8 subwoofers.

In terms of performance data, the A44H and the A7V are very close to each other. However, the A44H offers a very interesting housing variant: with its horizontal driver arrangement and a width of exactly 19 inches, the A44H can be placed perfectly on a studio rack as well as above or below a monitor or screen. This design is also ideal for use as a centre speaker in a 5.1, 7.1 or 3D monitor configuration. Two 4-inch long-throw woofers and an X-ART tweeter enable a wide frequency range. The DSP functions offer individual sound customisation options.

Active 2-way studio nearfield loudspeaker with two passive radiators:Shape 65 is the reference loudspeaker in the Shape series. Although it is designed for near-field monitoring, this monitor speaker offers unrivalled monitoring qualities across the entire frequency range. This monitor develops its full potential at monitoring positions of one metre and is simply a must in modern (home) studios.

The Gravity GSP 3202 studio monitor stand has a heavy, triangular base made of cast iron and a 250 mm x 250 mm monitor support with foam pads for damping. It is height-adjustable from 900 mm to 1500 mm for optimum speaker positioning and is supplied with a set of spikes. Mounted on the integrated large rubber feet, they achieve an effective coupling to the floor.

The most striking feature of the FX series is the coaxially integrated tweeter, which is not - as is often the case - a horn, but a dome tweeter. And the computer-calculated housing shape not only looks extremely cool, but also significantly optimises the dispersion characteristics of the FX80.Coaxial driverIn the centre of the 8" woofer is a 1.2" silk dome tweeter. The unique design in this price segment creates a point sound source - in principle without disturbing phase deviations or overlapping of the individual drivers. The frequency response of the FX80 ranges from 35 Hz to 22 kHzDIP switch for boundary compensationIn many (home) studios, space is at a premium, which can have an unfavourable effect on the acoustics. The FX80 is therefore equipped with EQ switches that can be used to control the influence of acoustically difficult rooms as well as the resonances of a wall directly behind the speakers. Users will find important information about the function of the DIP switches on the rear panel, and their function is described in detail in the operating instructions.Class D and DSP-controlledThe "Class D" power amplifier of the FX80 always delivers a clean and constant performance and sufficient headroom. The integrated high-performance DSP takes care of the digitally controlled crossover, resulting in extremely consistent sound reproduction. This makes the FX series reference monitors the perfect solution for demanding home and professional recording studios.LED display on the front baffleThe LED on the front panel not only provides information about the on/off/bypass status of the FX monitor, but also helps with the precise alignment of the speakers at ear level.Front slot port designThe bass reflex port maximises the bass efficiency of the speaker. The front arrangement not only provides a more direct radiation of the bass energy to the listener, but also allows the monitor to be set up close to the wall, which makes it much more flexible when it comes to placement options in the studio.Optimised tweeter protectionThe coaxial design with the tweeter mounted in the centre in front of the woofer makes the FX80 extremely robust. The woofer is therefore already equipped with a "protective shield". However, as the tweeter also needs to be protected, it has a small perforated grille in front of the sensitive silk cone.Imaging and bass responseHigh-quality drivers in a solid housing form the basis for transparent reference monitors, but only extensive listening tests and meticulous calibration of the crossover make this monitor a reliable working tool with absolutely precise bass response - and therefore a genuine Fluid Audio speaker. A mix created on the FX80 will never disappoint on other audio systems.

Active 2-way studio nearfield loudspeaker with two passive radiators:Shape 65 is the reference loudspeaker in the Shape series. Although it is designed for near-field monitoring, this monitor speaker offers unrivalled monitoring qualities across the entire frequency range. This monitor develops its full potential at monitoring positions of one metre and is simply a must in modern (home) studios.

Focal is expanding its Alpha series with the newly launched Alpha Evo. New features, new technologies, new design: the Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo studio monitors offer high performance at an unrivalled price in their market segment, making them the professional tools of choice for more people than ever before. With these new products, the French manufacturer is once again demonstrating its sound expertise and asserting its position as world market leader.PERFORMANCE & VERSATILITY:The Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo models are specially designed for music production and general music reproduction and ensure outstanding acoustic coherence regardless of the listening location. To further improve reproduction performance, Focal has opted for an aluminium tweeter with an inverted dome for wide sound dispersion and a carbon fibre cone. The recycled carbon fibre cone is manufactured exclusively by the French brand in Saint-Étienne and was chosen for its neutrality and dynamics. Focal is constantly revising its product range, drawing on over 40 years of expertise in the field of acoustics and its innovative strength. This is also underlined by the new large laminar port, which minimises distortion.NEW FEATURES:Evo stands for evolution. In addition to the analogue XLR and RCA sockets, the Alpha Evo monitors have a new TRS jack input (6.35 mm), an automatic standby mode that can be deactivated and inserts for wall and ceiling mounting: a truly versatile range (mixing, mastering, DJ, broadcasting). In terms of amplification, the speakers each have two Class D amplifiers. Their high current capacity gives you maximum control over the signal dynamics. In addition, high volumes can be achieved without distortion. Each speaker reproduces even the smallest details in the mix across all styles of music.DESIGN AND CABINET CONSTRUCTION:The monitors have a 15 mm thick MDF enclosure with internal bracing for maximum stability even at high sound pressure levels. The bass reflex design was chosen for easy acoustic integration even in the tightest of spaces. In terms of aesthetics, the classic cube shape of the monitor gives way to a design with rounded corners. The side panels ensure a sophisticated, robust and modern design that contributes to excellent acoustics and a unique and harmonious character across the entire range.

The base can be fitted with either three adjustable plastic feet or steel spikes. Without the base, the stand can be used for speakers with a standard speaker flange (Ø 35 mm). The stand is supplied disassembled, including screws and Allen key, three plastic adjustable feet and three steel spikes with lock nuts.

The new IN-8 2nd Wave has an updated amplifier module and enables 12 dB less self-noise with a 3dB higher output. The tuning has been refined for even smoother high-frequency behaviour and the boundary EQs have been updated to enable practical settings. A new feature here is the preset for horizontal speaker positioning. Further updates include lighter transducer cones for faster transient response and an improved cabinet design for less natural resonance.As a further development of the successful LP-8, the IN-8 2nd Wave features its sophisticated bass reflex system and the same level-resistant woofer. However, instead of the usual tweeter with 3D imaging waveguides, a coaxial midrange/tweeter combination has been installed here. The profile-optimised 4″ midrange driver also functions as a waveguide. By limiting the peak excursion to 1 mm, intermodulation distortion, which otherwise occurs in coaxial systems, could be avoided. The midrange driver also relieves the woofer and tweeter, so the IN-8 2nd Wave plays more harmoniously and with less distortion than conventional 2-way studio monitors.The crossover frequency of the woofer is 280 Hz, making the IN-8 2nd Wave an acoustic point source. Phase cancellations on the vertical axis will be sought in vain here. Instead, the IN-8 2nd Wave has an even dispersion behaviour over the entire frequency response with excellent depth graduation and localisation. The stereo image also benefits from the coaxial arrangement and enables a detailed mix. Thanks to the "Boundary EQ" familiar from the LP series, the IN-8 2nd Wave can be adapted to different studio environments just as easily as its sister models.

This ensures sonic transparency and accuracy that can only be found in professional audio interfaces and mastering-grade audio converters Mastering-grade audio converters.The connection to studio monitors is made via balanced XLR connectors, which are equipped with relay-based hard bypass to prevent unwanted background noise.

In recent years, the audio industry has produced a large number of new, high-quality multi-channel audio formats, which place considerably higher demands on the professional production environment in the studio. The Blu-ray format, for example, makes it possible to store an increased number of discrete audio channels with high resolution (7.1). To meet these requirements, Neumann has created a 7.1 High Definition Bass Manager with the newly developed electronics of the KH 810, which fulfils all studio requirements from mono to the latest 7.1 HD formats. With eight analogue input channels, flexible connection is guaranteed in the modern studio environment. Four switchable LFE modes guarantee compatibility with all formats and industry standards. Extensive acoustic adaptation options and a frequency separation of 24 dB/oct allow optimum integration into the existing studio acoustics. The built-in 8-channel volume control in conjunction with the optionally available wired remote control can be used to realise source-independent central system control. The electronics of the KH 810 can be detached in order to adapt the cabling flexibly. The latest amplifier technology and extensive research and optimisation of the speaker chassis used have resulted in the highest degree of bass precision and sound neutrality. The low-resonance cabinet and the flow-optimised bass reflex channels ensure dry and extremely low-distortion bass reproduction down to 18 Hz, even at high levels. Multisubwoofer systems can easily be set up using the sum output of the electronics. This allows speaker arrangements such as Plane Wave Bass Arrays TM (PWBA) to be implemented, which dramatically improve the lateral mode behaviour in the listening room via cylindrical wave generation. The KH 810 was developed as an extension of our extensive range of studio monitors. It can be used alone or in combination with several subwoofers to realise large systems with very high maximum level requirements. The KH 810 is therefore the ideal low-frequency extension for music, broadcasting and post-production for use in tracking, mixing and mastering. It can preferably be positioned close to the wall or, thanks to the bass reflex ports on the front, in the wall and can be freely combined with all our monitors in multi-channel systems.

The KH 310 is designed for use as a nearfield monitor and as a front speaker in medium-sized or rear speakers in large multi-channel systems. It is ideally suited for use in project, music and post-production studios, broadcast control centres and OB vans for multitrack recording, mixing and mastering. The active 3-way studio monitor KH 310 is characterised by a Mathematically Modeled DispersionT Waveguide (MMDT), universal acoustic controls, multiple input options and a wide range of mounting hardware. The speaker offers maximum flexibility in dealing with a wide range of acoustic conditions, source devices and installation locations. The KH 310 represents the state of the art in acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies and guarantees maximum sonic precision.

The Sub8 is a powerful active subwoofer with small dimensions that extends the playback range to below 30 Hz and can be customised in many ways to suit the acoustic conditions.It contains a special long-throw 8.5" chassis, which is driven by a powerful magnet and a 38 mm voice coil. ICE modules are used as amplifiers, which combine high performance with minimal heat generation and can easily cope with high loads over long periods of time.There are control options for volume (-60 to +6 dB) and phase switching (180°). Furthermore, the upper cut-off frequency of the subwoofer can be variably adjusted (50 - 150 Hz). A filter can be switched on for the satellite outputs, which blocks the signals from the satellites below 85 Hz, for example to reproduce a film soundtrack in accordance with Dolby® and relieve them of the low frequencies. It is also possible to either switch the subwoofer on or off manually or have it switch on automatically as soon as it receives signals (signal-on/continuous).The remote control supplied allows these controls to be set conveniently from the listening position.

It is worth mentioning that the DSP, which uses a high-quality A/D converter from BurrBrown, only filters the woofer of the subwoofer. The signal path for the satellite speakers remains purely analogue and undergoes no A/D, D/A conversion. With the "Pure Satellite" function, when activated, the subwoofer and the DSP filter section are bypassed completely. In this case, the satellite signals are routed unfiltered to the outputs and only the volume of the satellites can be varied.The volume of the subwoofer and the entire stereo system can be controlled using the remote control supplied as standard with the subwoofer - all from the comfort of your listening position.The special feature of our extremely powerful and high-precision subwoofers is the passive cone used, which replaces the usual bass reflex channel. This design completely eliminates disturbing flow noise caused by air turbulence. Audible tube resonances (with lambda/2 + multiples) are due to the principle of an open tube on both sides (bass reflex channel) and can be eliminated with the passive membrane design in all EVE Audio subwoofers. Furthermore, the suspension of the passive cone has a restoring force below the tuning frequency, which reduces inaudible subsonic excursions. This means less excursion in the operating range and thus reduced intermodulation distortion.A passive diaphragm enables a particularly low tuning or lower cut-off frequency in a compact housing.
