Perfectly assembled for rich, spacious sound reproduction, this B&H Kit includes two Adam Professional Audio A4V active 4" nearfield studio monitors and one 8", 160W RMS subwoofer, both equipped with advanced room calibration and control features that any professional audio engineer will appreciate. With rotatable HPS waveguides on the tweeters, the studio monitors can be easily adjusted in 90° increments (whether vertically or horizontally mounted) for a wide range of dispersion angles, allowing them to handle a greater variety of room shapes and sizes than your typical 4" speakers. The subwoofer even comes with a handy wireless remote control for adjusting crossover frequency and levels. The combined system provides you with a reliable and convenient high-fidelity monitoring setup.
Audio professionals in need of a high-quality nearfield monitor will be impressed with the black Adam Professional Audio A4V, a professional, 4" 2-way studio monitor speaker that delivers rich, spacious, and enveloping sound, well suited for small studio spaces, short listening distances, and immersive multispeaker configurations.
A 110W RMS Class-D amplifier powers the 4" Multilayer Mineral (MLM) woofer, while a 20W Class-AB amplifier drives the X-ART tweeter with HPS waveguide to provide an ultrawide frequency range (52 Hz to 45 kHz). The rotatable High-Frequency Propagation System (HPS) waveguide technology and onboard DSP allow you position the monitor either horizontally or vertically, while fine-tuning the speaker to your precise requirements.
- ADAM Audio HPS (high-frequency propagation system) waveguide technology enables tweeters to disperse sound with controlled consistency, broad in the horizontal axis but tightly focused on the vertical plane. The A Series introduces a rotatable HPS waveguide design. You can shift A Series tweeters in 90-degree steps to continue to benefit from HPS waveguide technology, whether you position the speakers horizontally or vertically.
- The A Series HPS Waveguide is made from a new glass-fiber polymer compound that helps create a clear sound, free of unwanted resonance. The ADAM Audio X-ART tweeter is at the heart of the rotatable HPS waveguide. Handmade in Germany, the X-ART tweeter provides a precise transient response and reproduces the finest sonic details. This X-ART tweeter is used in every A Series speaker, providing a detailed and consistent sound across the product line.
- The A Series combines the best of both digital and analog worlds. The woofer is driven by a Class-D amplifier that help produce linear performance while reducing distortion. The amplifier was chosen specifically for its power and efficiency, in terms of both energy consumption and sound reproduction. Low thermal dissipation allows for a smaller heat sink, which facilitated additional investment in the exceptional power and performance of the A Series.
- The tweeter is powered by a Class-AB amplifier, which offer a smooth, natural reproduction of high frequencies. The amplifier is optimized for its working range, resulting in a fine-tuned, properly aligned speaker. To reach this point, ADAM Audio carried out extensive measurements and listening sessions, trialing countless amplifiers and amplifier components.
- A Voicing is a predefined sound profile of the A Series monitors. On the back panel, you will find two different selections, UNR and Pure. Here you will also find the Ext option, which is dedicated to the extended functionality that comes with A Control via the Ethernet connection.
- UNR or Uniform Natural Response is a dynamic and natural-sounding response curve of ADAM Audio’s own design, which stems from a variety of iconic ADAM Audio legacy products including the preceding AX Series. It lends itself to production, composition, and song writing, as its engaging and present sound can give you more room for creativity and flow. It is also a great option whenever you want to use your speakers simply to enjoy some good music.
- Pure is a highly accurate and neutral sounding option. This is the flat setting, ideal for mixing and mastering, where you must be aware of all the details and rely on an honest representation from your speakers.
- 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.
- The DSP-based functionality of all A Series monitors can be controlled remotely and in real time over Ethernet using the free-to-download A Control software. A Control is available to download for Windows and MacOS in the MyADAM area of www.adam-audio.com for customers who have registered their A Series monitors.
- Once downloaded and installed, you can control multiple speakers at once, precisely adjusting equalization and delay settings from various listening positions in your studio space. While you work, you can remotely control monitor levels if you’re far from a fader or physical interface. Remote-control capabilities are particularly useful in multipurpose rooms, allowing you to make sure that voicing, EQ, and other settings are all exactly how you want them.
The Sub8 from Adam Audio is a compact yet powerful 8.5-inch active subwoofer with a 38mm voicecoil. The Sub8 is driven by a 160W RMS amplifier that stays cool, even while handling maximum power levels for a sustained period of time. The front panel has two motorized knobs for setting input level and crossover frequency. An included wireless remote allows you to change those settings from your normal listening position for the highest degree of accuracy. An ideal match to several of the Adam active and passive nearfield monitors, the Sub8 offers a balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors.
