Professional ADAM Monitoring for the Budget-conscious Studio

Junior partner in the T Series, ADAM Audio’s affordable line of professional 2-way active studio monitors, the T5V features a 5" polypropylene low-frequency driver that delivers bass extension down to 45Hz, while the company's U-ART accelerated-ribbon tweeter provides pristine highs extended up to 25kHz – quite remarkable for a monitor in this price range. The tweeter's broad, uniform dispersion pattern is assisted by a precision waveguide modeled on the High Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide used in ADAM’s premium S Series studio monitors, which provides an impressively wide sweet spot that liberates you from being constrained to a rigid listening position.

The T5V’s beveled cabinet features a rear-firing bass reflex port affixed to a thick metal backplate that houses the analog input connections and DSP-controlled driver crossovers and equalization. The woofer's 50W Class D amplifier, in combination with the 20W Class D tweeter amp, enables a pair of T5Vs to achieve a maximum SPL of 106dB at one meter. The T5V’s extended frequency response, robust dynamic range, exemplary transient response, broad sweet spot, and compact footprint make it ideally suited for use in small control rooms for music production, video post, and broadcast applications. It's a perfect monitoring solution, considering the modest budgets that many facilities have to work with.

5" polypropylene low-frequency driver

The drivers in ADAM Audio studio monitors benefit from years of in-house research and development and take advantage of the latest advances in technology and materials science. The woofer in the T5V is engineered to deliver optimized low-frequency reproduction with extended dynamic range and freedom from coloration. It incorporates a rigid, yet low-mass polypropylene driver cone; a highly efficient magnet assembly and precisely aligned voice coil; and an optimized driver chassis/basket design. The T5V's 5" woofer extends response down to 45Hz, making the speaker a suitable choice for nearfield monitoring in small control rooms, with or without a subwoofer. If more low-end extension is desirable, ADAM Audio's Sub8 and Sub7 subwoofers pair perfectly with the T5V.

The U-ART accelerated-ribbon tweeter

Instead of producing sound with a piston-like diaphragm like most loudspeakers, ADAM Audio's U-ART accelerated-ribbon tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that prevents distortion by moving air four times faster than the folds themselves are moving. Built to the tightest tolerances, the U-ART tweeter delivers ultra-low distortion and extends the frequency range up to 25kHz, enriching the soundfield with stunning detail and faithfully conveying every nuance of the source material so you can work over long periods without listening fatigue.

ADAM Audio: elevating the state of the art

From its 1999 launch in Berlin, ADAM Audio has built a solid reputation among the pro audio cognoscente. Sweetwater knows that a superior speaker system has superior components, and this is one area where the company has a distinct edge. With years of R&D behind each proprietary driver, ADAM Audio's custom driver technology expresses itself in breakthroughs such as their X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter, which is based on a groundbreaking 1960s invention, the Heil Air Motion Transformer — and in fact, was the main impetus for the formation of ADAM Audio. The X-ART tweeter became the key to ADAM's signature transparent, high-definition sound; and the core development of ADAM’s proprietary designs going forward.

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. Materials such as rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm foils have increased reliability, enhanced performance, and made possible new driver geometry. As compared with conventional driver technology, Adam drivers deliver optimized radiation characteristics, lower distortion, and higher efficiency. Along with installations in a growing number of top studios, ADAM Audio's monitor range has garnered rave reviews from audio experts and recording engineers worldwide. If you're considering an upgrade to world-class monitoring, you'll be in good company with ADAM Audio monitors.

Just What The Doctor Ordered!

I ordered a pair of these in January to be monitor speakers for my Nautilus 73. AHHHHH!!!! These are perfect for that usage. I live in an apartment on the second floor and was worried about getting noise complaints but not any so far. The sounds are great and I Love It, Love It, Love It! Get a couple you won't be sorry

Amazing monitors for the price

All I can really say about these monitors is that they keep giving back. There are a lot of monitors who sit in a nice pocket of input where they sound the best. These ones want more and more, the more you give them the more they give. I don't recommend them for low volume. They are very mid at low levels. If you give them huge volume they will give you something special.

Adam monitors

So far great. The sound is true to the source. I need to spend more time with them but happy so far. I wish they pushed a little more volume. I won't be working high volume so it's fine and it could be what my set us is sending them.
Rated 5/5

Best Boom For The Buck

I've been looking to upgrade to a decent set of monitors without breaking the bank. I've worked with many different kinds but these really do a great job of giving me a transparent mix. Highly recommended for any budget.
Rated 5/5

Best bang for the buck

These replaced some more expensive JBL speakers that I passed down to my daughter for her DAW setup. They are finally broken in and sound amazing. For the price you simply cannot do better.
