ADAM Audio compares near-field studio monitors like our ADAM Audio T7Vs at $249 USD & our ADAM Audio S2V at $1,749 USD. The monitors are similar in so many ways, but there are some key differences between them technologically. To find out more about all ADAM Audio Studio Monitors, visit: www.adam-audio.com
If you have further questions regarding any of our studio monitors, please leave a comment down below and we'll be sure to respond ASAP.
ADAM Audio was founded in March 1999 in Berlin. Since then the company has been developing, manufacturing and distributing loudspeakers in the field of Professional Audio.
The development of the X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter based on the 1960’s invention of the Air Motion Transformer by Oskar Heil was largely responsible for the company’s founding. Producing sound not with a piston-like diaphragm as is done in most of the loudspeakers that are on the market, but using a pleated diaphragm that is capable of moving the air 4 times faster than the folds themselves are moving was the appealing idea behind it all. The achieved results were intriguing and gave ample reason for moving forward.

I never thouhgt that the ribbon twitters where anything special until i bought a pair of t7vs, and damn i was hella wrong, those ribbon twitters make uncompromisable difference in performance, really hats off to thw the A audio engineers, the work and reach search A Audio team put into this is incredible, already upgrading to pair of a7xs with a sub.. rhe t7vs already paid its own price for me, really worth it..
Thanks for the kind words. We know you'll enjoy the A7Xs & subwoofer as well!
@@ADAMAudioBerlin thanks to you guys for this amazing product
@@f1livenews2023 So happy you're enjoying them!
Metal/ribbon tweeters. Various ways to skin this cat, and there are about 8 or 9 studio monitor manufacturers out there that make some of their monitors using metal/ribbonAMT tweeters. Biggest downside of them is the super easy way to damage them. Any little inadvertent poking will damage them so they would need to be replaced. For instance, I would not have them in a house or flat with cats and small children. In a pro studio business setting this is much less of an issue, of course.
It makes speech very realistic
The main difference is you can afford one and not the other
XDD
For real 😂 😂 😂 so simple.
The cheaper ones are made in China, while the more expensive ones might be made in Germany.
XDDDD
@@han1218 every monitor under a $1000 is made in china unfortunately.
These are extremely informative videos that no one else makes, and I highly appreciate Adam for making them; Just as I am appreciative of my 5.1 A5Xs.
Hi Amir! Thank you for the kind words and for watching or content. Happy you're enjoying your A5Xs as well 👍
Got a pair of A5X recently. I'd never heard so many details and nuances in music before in my life, not even in headphones. My mixes are ready 3-4 times faster now, plus I get absolutely no ear fatigue, it's just incredible. One of the best things I've ever bought in my life for sure.
So happy to hear it Anton. Hope they serve you well for years to come!
Heard the T5V and S2V. Can’t believe the T5V sound for the price. The S2V are really lovely in the S Series with great low end as well. You can’t really buy a bad Adam audio speaker
8 years proud owner of A8X :) Nothing beats that speaker in that price range.
We had it in our training studio. its low end was a bit annoying to me but I loved it because it was very clear. better than Eris8 or HS8. it wasn't very flat to my ears although I know you can adjust it. Sadly, at this price range I have liked no 8" monitors really.
The A8X is fucking amazing. I'm in awe everytime I use them.
The clarity is just unmatched, and the low range super fun.
This was actually informative, thanks! T7V is my choice!
im def considering adam now because of the 5 year warranty , nice move and way to go adam
It covers every single one of our products & we know you won't be disappointed, Roy 👍
Purchased a pair of ADAM Audio T7V's. Lots of extremely positive reviews on various platforms and I can say that I can clearly see why! I honestly don't do studio work, but enjoy a nice transparent sound. So I basically use them as computer speakers for music listening or for fooling around with music production as a hobby! I must also say that ADAM's community outreach and just general willingness to keep in touch with consumers/customers and producing videos on the functionality of their products, or just general advice with audio have certainly helped me choose this brand over others. Oh and they sound pretty much the best at this price point. They look good too!
Hi Gal! Thanks for watching and choosing ADAM Audio. We are happy your T7Vs are treating you well and we hope they do for years to come 👍
What monitors do you have? Comment below 👇 And as always, if you have questions, let us know!
a pair of A7X at home, and a pair of A5X + 8" sub at work. i love both.
I'd still be happy to own a pair of your S-series in the future! great stuff!
@ Happy to hear it!
Had A7X, upgraded to A77X. We thought about upgrading to the S series... but we like working on the A77X so much, that we're afraid of change 💀
@@RestInDust That's fair...It's a tough decision to make without hearing them side-by-side, but we are happy you're enjoying the A77Xs so much. Thanks for choosing ADAM Audio!
S2V and they sound absolutely fantastic. Thanks for making such a great product.
Question: what's the most affordable way to get an accurate frequency response of a listening space so that a correction can be implemented using the built in DSP?
I love my T7V’s thank you! I use them with Ableton 10 via Komplete Audio 1 for Electronic/Alternative Rock music production. I Dj/Live stream with a Denon SC5000 via Allen and Heath Xone:92 and it’s quite crisp and punchy! I love making music, Djing, and plugging my guitar/bass to just jam through Ableton and build tones. Tweaked band mixes with drums and also electronic sounds let these breathe and especially after they been played through for about eight hours. I use them in a medium sized rectangle room where I’ve basically split into bedroom/studio mode lol. I’ve left the monitors all on normal settings I’ve yet to sound proof the space. These are great for the price, I got them through Gage at Sweetwater! Have a great pair of monitors for multiple applications from bedroom, studio and mobile setups!
Thanks for choosing ADAM Audio, Adrian!
Best in class = Adam audio 🔥🔥
👊
I bought my pair of T8Vs for casual listening last Black Friday. I must say they are completely worth the price (personal opinion, and I haven't heard better). The details from those ribbon tweeters are out of this world and surpasses my Naim Mu-so. The imaging is very accurate to the point that it feels like there is a center channel dedicated to the vocalist. The bass extension is very good and goes really deep. The amount of bass is slightly less than what I am used to, but it is appropriate and is not to fault as they are studio monitors. I have no regrets with my purchase, and I will probably not upgrade until they break because it is essentially overkill for casual listening.
Thank you for choosing ADAM Audio and the kind words. We hope they serve you well for years to come!
ADAM got good service, they changed my bass tubes for free 6 years ago.
We appreciate you for choosing ADAM Audio and we hope we can help you with anything else you need going forward!
that's what you want to read when you're choosing between Yamaha and Adam :)
I recently reviewed the S3V and T8V; both outstanding monitors with great sound and a pleasure to use/listen to. The T-Series is remarkable for the money...and the S-Series worth the extra.
Hi Arthur! Yes those are two very different animals, but like we said, each series (T, AX & S) are simply the best we can do in each given market. Thanks for watching and reviewing 👍
@@ADAMAudioBerlin what will the new series provide compared to the T`s(went through the audiosciencereview and dsaudio tests). and what is the ballpark cost for the new models. my use will primarily just be hifi
My A7X is back from the dead and I am so happy right now. I don't know how it died but I've switched interface now just to be safe. A7X is hands down the best I've heard. I still think it's more fun to listen to than any HiFi speakers that I've tried from Dynaudio or even a Klipsch reference model.
Speaking of ribbon tweeters... The first time I listened to ribbon tweeters were after my brother upgraded from a Tascam to a Behringer. The difference is so immense that even until today, I can clearly hear the difference between a Behringer Nekkst K8 vs Behringer Truth B303A (ribbon).
Happy to hear your A7Xs are being well used & loved. Thanks for watching!
I have the T5V's and really like them and I noticed that after using Sonarworks there wasn't a big difference between the EQ correction from SW and the T5V's alone. I'm pretty confident to trust what I hear from these speakers.
Happy to hear that you like working with your T5Vs, may they serve you well for many years :-)
Just received my T7Vs today. Threw on some reference audio. All I can say is...Wow! Couldn't have made a better choice. Love them. Imaging is perfect. Those U-ART drivers bring out every detail, Still working on placement and will be treating my room. Will also burn them in this week.
We're so happy you're enjoying them 😊
@@ADAMAudioBerlin What interface are you using?
These are both beautiful
Hi Guys! I just ordered the T7V's! I couldn't resist the look and with me moving to full amp sim instead of traditional guitar amps it was time for an upgrade! 🤟😎
We know you'll enjoy them!
@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thanks for the response! Greatly appreciated! I'll email a link to my review video ones it's released. 😁👍
nice. What amp sim axe FX? You find the Adams more suited for the amp sim sound because of the ribbons or something like that?
I have Tv5's which are also my first monitors. Been very happy! I'm not experienced but I have been enjoying doing my own stuff with em'. I could see myself climbing towards higher ones someday when I upgrade first myself from the poor bedroom musician to not so poor. :P Thankfully these Adam's cares my needs just fine. :)
Glad you're enjoying them!
Hey I’m interested in the T5or7v models. What would be the max recommended listening distance/ width apart for these models?
i love my T8V's , nice low end for a good price
Happy you're enjoying them! Thanks for choosing ADAM Audio.
Man, S2V monitor is so full of features. Hope to get a pair someday.
We hope so too 😊 thank you for watching, Andrei!
I just got the T7v’s and the corresponding Subwoofer!! 💥💥💥
Do you like the combination?
@@ADAMAudioBerlin Yes! They sound amazing 🤩
Just heard those T5V in the store. Finally something that beats the Yamaha HS5 in this price range as Yamaha held that title for the longest time. T5V had more clear mids, silkier highs, tighter bass, and more full bass extension! Could you please say is 4 inches away from the back wall or bass trap enough room for the port? Some website says you can place it 2 inches from the wall, others say you need 2 feet! LOL
I bought the T5v’s - taking the plunge with the ribbon. My dream speaker is a quality 3-way with a ribbon… maybe if I detail enough vehicles?!
The five year warranty is a huge deal. SVS does the same. Being made in China it’s impossible to stay ontop of quality control and supply chain issues.
Both sets of my M-Audio m3-6’s and M3-8’s have amp issues after 6 years of use… So hopefully the Adams can last longer.
I did change it up and ordered the compact sub from Kali Audio - it has insane output from 20-40hz given its footprint.
Should be a fun combo!!
love my s2v. monsters. absolutely flat as hell. the high end sounds so clear its insane
Hi Ryan! Thank you so much for choosing ADAMs. 😍
I love my S2v! 🥰 Tha Sound is very Nice! 🤟
So happy you're enjoying them. Hope they treat you well for years to come!
I'm sure I'll treat them well. Are too expensive to be mistreated! 😂
Don't want to buy new ones again in 3 years!
But they sound really fantastic, they are worth the money! 🙏💫🍀❣️
T7V's are really nice sounding monitors, the lows are very transparent and the highs are silky smooth. Worth every penny. I won't be able to go back to regular tweeters after these ART's.
Hi Jerry! Great choice and thank you so much for choosing ADAMs. We hope they'll serve you well. Don't forget to register your speakers in our MyADAM user section to profit from an extended warranty and free plugins! 🔥
Great Video... Thank you, could I insert all my studio sonarworks software calculation into de DSP S2V speaker?
Hi Miguel! That feature only with the A Series monitors. As you see we have brought out the A Series with an included Sonarworks integration at launch because it was a ground-up design that included this feature from the start of the project. For the S Series we have to retrofit this feature to an existing product and that has proved to be harder than expected when the cooperation was first announced. We cannot promise any timeline right now but please keep watching ADAM Audio for any possible future announcements.
I use a S2V in exchange for a A7X as center in my home cinema, the left & right main will follow when I can afford it. The other channels are fired up with the internal amplifiers of an AVC-X8500H and passive speakers with AMT-tweeter. All channels are crossed at 80Hz. I love my sound.
Happy you're loving it!
I really like my S2V monitors. The only thing I noticed with them is ever so often the green led will turn red on both monitors for no reason at all (they can be left on for a few days never being used). To fix this, I have to turn them off and on again.
Hi we are happy you are enjoying the S2Vs! We can promise you that this issue does not effect the sound of the monitors, and we encourage you to reach out to support@adam-audio.com for further information regarding this. Thanks!
I own the T7V. They are absolutely the best studio monitors in its price class.
Hi Emiel333! Glad you like them! 🤩
What happened to putting an external fuse on the T7V's? Something I overlooked before purchase. Or was the power supply fuse eliminated to save Adam big bucks. Not very many hours logged in on it. I'm still under warranty. Unit doesn't power up. No LED.
Hope you sell well that stuf 😊
I am going to buy my first monitoring speakers. Untill now I was solely mixing on headphones. I make bass heavy music. Which monitors do you suggest me to get the best idea of a clean and flat mix and understand mono compatibility better???
We would suggest the T8V's!
This is cool. Really helpful. I run Presonus Sceptre S8 which are incredible. I wanted to try them against A7X and the S7s but nowhere here in Australia had trial stock.
Hi thanks for watching! We hope you can get some to try soon!
I've had them for a few weeks now but I absolutely love my A7X's
Happy you enjoy them... welcome to the family!
T5V is just amazing for its price
So the 2sV are the best monitors for mixing at 20m2 room
I had the pleasure of owning two of these speakers and I really liked them both! However, I did find the T7V more resolving in the higher end so I decided to keep that one :) Maybe it was down to my room who knows?!
We are happy to hear that 😊 If the T7V does the job it's the right fit for you. All the best, Daniel.
You went with the T7V instead of the S2Vs? you okay?!
Ordered the t7v's today, i cannot wait !! 2 more days 😍 i produce music as a hobby and used krk rokit 6’s for nearly a decade, but they stopped working. After lots of research i think the t7v are my best choice ^^ Can only imagine this is going to be a good upgrade for a decent price !

Im using A pair of aDAM A77Xs, witrh a pair of S3Vs and a sub 12. killler combo for ALL my mixing needs
Nice! Great setup
When I want to listen to music on my pc and deejay sometimes, would you recommend something like a Focusrite Scarlett Solo?
Right now I’m thinking about getting the T8V.
get the Clarett series from Focusrite if you havent already. Its a huge step up from Scarlett despite one step. Its very high end sounding. Plus you get some really good plugins. Like Adam level quality, Focusrite is whey underrated... but get the Clarrett... you will not be disappointed and that line sounds as good as much more interfaces which are triple the cost but I won't say which so that snowflakes reading this are not offended. 😁
Just got a pair of s2vs and they are incredible. Unfortunately one of them came with a bad woofer and I can’t seem to get the support team to take care of it or at least get me to the next step. Hope it works out!
Also, are you still planning on utilizing the Ethernet port on the S series? It would be great to see the sonar works reference DSP on these!
Hi Jonathan! Sorry to hear that. If you already got in contact with our support team via our official support form at the bottom of this page: www.adam-audio.com/en/support/, they will come to you as soon as possible. Thanks for the patience. All the best, Manuel from ADAM.

Is there a way to mount the t5v on the ceiling?
A7X here!
👍
Oh how I wished T's that they had front fire ports 😭
Gotta say the T7Vs were the best thing I purchased in 2020. I have a fairly small, untreated space that is pretty neutral acoustically, so it doesn't take too much to set up monitors properly. After listening and mixing on 3 different pairs for about 4-5 weeks each, I had a suspicion the Adams were superior to two other popular brands in the same price range. Well fast forward 1.25 years, and all the mixes I made on the adams sound much better than the ones done on other brands. I ended up keeping the T7Vs because they sounded better to my ear. Nothing in this price range is going to be stunningly flat, so get that expectation straight, then you can focus on what you need from your monitors. Not only did my mixes improve when I went with these, the quality of these allowed me to adapt to the sound in a way that helped me to get better over time. After a little over a year of listening to countless albums on these, I have sped up my work flow and gotten consistently, and progressively better sounding mixes. Comparing these now to other Adams and botique brands, I'm shocked that I paid the price I did for these. I wouldn't have expected this outstand quality for the price, I'll just say it. I just bought Dynaudio Lyd 7s so I can again do the 4-5 week mix test and see if the bump in price range gets me to 'the next level'. Also worth mentioning, the IsoAcoustics isolation stands made the T7Vs noticeably more focused, especially in the low end, and much easier to hear the 'sweet spot'. So if you're serious about getting the most out of a product in this price range and can't do much about your space, I highly recommend those Isoacoustics, they're a bit pricey but oh so worth it!
Wow, thanks for your kind words Chris. That means a lot to us and it is always good to get that kind of feedback. We are very happy that the T7Vs serve you well. All the best, Daniel.
Considering an upgrade to A5X (mainly because my space is tiny) but I'm wondering how the bass performs without a sub? I might eventually get that but certainly isn't in the budget for now.
Hi Russell! The A5X will go as low as 50 Hz. If this frequency range is sufficient for you, you don't need to add a subwoofer. However, if you need to monitor lower frequencies we recommend adding a Sub8 for example. I hope that helps. Have a great day, Philipp from ADAM Audio.
Hello. What subwoofer would you recommend to go along with the S2V? My current setup is the A5X with a Sub7 and would want to know if I should replace my Sub7 as well. Thanks!
Hi Vlad, we'd recommend going for the Sub12 if your budget allows for it. Have a great day and thank you so much for choosing ADAMs!
Yeah, ADAM 4 life! currently own the A77X's. Been considering getting the S2V's for sometime. A worthy upgrade?
The S2Vs would be an upgrade from the A77Xs. You'll get a wider sweet-spot, more powerful amplifiers, and less THD from the aluminum waveguide along with a feature set that the AX Series does not have. Thank you for choosing ADAM Audio in the first place and we hope the A77Xs have treated you well!
it would be an upgrade on paper, in reality, how much better than A77X's do you need your monitors to be?
@@carlosdelaportilla A77Xs are absolutely incredible - huge advocate of them. But I would like the absolute best monitors I could afford for my smaller studio.
I love my S2Vs. I'd love to have the s3vs though.
Glad you're loving the S2Vs still Ron 😉 - Anders
@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thanks man. You the man. Stay safe!!
@@ronbates5401 I own two S3V, one S3H and 4 S2V and 4 A5X and guess what I am doing with all these speakers? A sourround sound system. It could be also an Atmos or Auro studio system. I love the S3V and compared them to Genelec 8351 and I like the S3V more. The 8351 are special and nothing against Genelec but the S3V beat them by musicality, bass performance and price for me. Love Adam Audio and all their speakers I know are great.
@@mabuse786 Nice! How do you think the S2v compare to the s3vs?
@@ronbates5401 The S2V are excellent speakers, exceeding all smaller Adam series speakers. They are expensive for two-way speakers, and that is also the difference to the S3V. The dedicated midrange speaker. Three-way vs. two-way is a difference. I am using the S3V as my L/R speakers and the S3H as center. The S3H has more punch due to the dual bass speakers than the S3V and this is also a difference to the S2V. But the S2V is powerful enough to give you enough bass and a very balanced speaker. I love them. However, I am thinking about moving my S2Vs to replace the A5X as ceiling speakers and buying four more S3Vs as surround speakers. The price difference is not that much, but if size matters, the S2V may be a better choice if you are traveling and need to have a pair of capable speakers in compact size. Just my two cents.
make a T7V vs A7X video please!
Hi! Definitely in the works 👍
Hello who makes the speaker in a T10s? Thank you I just bought one
Could you please do the same comparison but with A7X and S2V?
Hi Alberto, we can definitely do that in the future!
installed a Pair S2V's in the bathroom, great sound now
I like the processing on the voice. Bright but not too much. Record chain?

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Oh sweet. I have a MixPre! Cheers.
Shame that they didn't went with front bass reflex port just like f5 :/
Just drove down to Sweetwater and picked up a pair of the T7V’s and wow, they sound ridiculous. Was actually going to pick up the 8” in the T series and realized the 7s had great bass response and plenty for my bedroom studio. The 8” we’re not needed. So saved money there and picked up a couple of extra gear pieces I needed for live gigging. Listen to Discombobulate by Hans Zimmer on the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack. It will knock your socks off.

And sound better sorry genelec! 😂 And the sweet spot is lovely! I recommend s2v! ❣️ 🤟

hello i am interested in the a8x updating from m audio bx8a. i assume there is no comparison. and would expect a night and day improvement. especially since the m audio tweeters are driving me nuts with harsh highs. however what i need to know is can the x-art tweeter tear from louder sessions and i have a problem with humidity in my basement. could this be an issue. i will make the investment but i care about my stuff. and want to do the right thing. thank you frank il.
Hi cyandream1! The A8X can output a max. SPL of 120 dB without a problem, so you shouldn't have a problem tearing the tweeter. Concerning the humidity: Humidity is poison for all electronic equipment so try to keep humidity as low as possible. What we'd suggest though is keeping the monitors on at all times.
Guys, please don´t forget that there are two significant parts in the audio chain: mics and speakers. The electronic in between is important but not that important than these two components. So better invest in real good speakers like those from ADAM than in new plugins, synths or other studio gear.
Monitors Adam as the meaning of life
😉
off-topic but where can i purchase that adam audio sweatshirt? Great vid btw.
We have shirts and things in the works! Thanks for watching
im looking at the A7X for my 13x13ft (aprox) home studio. is that a good size for the room?
That should be a a great size for that room!
Put the controls on the top or front .
It's such a pain in the ass to tune that way
This was a decision made to put the resources we have into the proper amplifiers and technology of the monitors rather than a robust feature set on the front panel. Ideally, it would be perfect to have both, but for the T Series, we had to make compromises.
Did you consider making the S series cabinets out of machined and anodized aluminium? It would bring the manufacturing cost to a whole new level but since that's your flagship lineup, it might have been worth the extra investment.
They could call it the S series plus😂
Hi! We are always looking for new ways to innovate our products and this is definitely a consideration. Thanks for watching!
@@joshsmith7812 *S Series Super
Those are great, especially those highend mini s2v adams, but for 1700 bucks or a bit more you should offer REAL dsp room correction with a measurement microphone like how genelec has with their glm stuff which perfectly calibrates things for your room for the most accurate response and consistency no matter the environment. The ones that seem worth it are the t series and the ax series, everything else that you make appears to be over priced there after when compared with genelecs with their room correction, especially their coax monitors.... Please make your monitors, especially your high end ones have real dsp correction, even your ax line could use that as an optional feature. Your ribbons and drivers are great, but your highend stuff especially needs that little bit more for that kind of money.
Hi analogaudio! Thanks for the feedback! I will forward this to our product managers. Best regards!
was that a led display for the adjustments, impressive
It is! It's quite intuitive after a few minutes of use as well.
Hello Adam Audio.
I bought a pair of T5V´s recently to use as pc speakers. I did not listened to them before i bought them, i based my purchase only in the reviews, and also the fact that you´re not a Chinese brand is important to me. I really love them. If i would have to make a criticism, the only thing i can come up to is they could be louder. They must have low sensivity. But if they would have higher sensivity and could play louder, then they could not have that great bass that they have at such a compact design, am i right? At first, i had them siting a litle lower and with no toe in at all, but then i raised them, put them a litle closer and made them facing me completely, and all of that made a significant difference in their perceived loudness, so now i´m good with them. I think the perfect pc speakers for me would be the T8V´s, which don´t cost much more than the T5V´s. But they´re way bigger and i would not have the space for them, so i´m good with the T5V´s.
Hi there! Thank you very much for choosing ADAM Audio :-) Yes, with studio monitors, it is very important to set them up correctly to get the best performance out of them. You can find some tips in the user manual or in our tutorial video "PROPER Studio Monitor Placement 101". If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
If I'm not mistaken, the T series is made in China.
@@SikBeatz You´re not mistaken, they are made in China. Like most things that are not hugely expensive, these days. But at least, Adam Audio themselves are still German. At least, today. In the future, who knows... :)
I really wish that I could hear the S3V in a proper setup / room / studio so as to be able to hear the cost difference and worth, however my local dealers don't even have them on display / hooked-up, let alone in a proper setup / room. Any suggestions for us folks here in CT, USA.

I just recently purchased a pair of T7V's, but I've been having problems with them.
When you buy a new pair of monitors, aren't both of them supposed to sound the same? If they don't sound the same the stereo image isn't accurate. My pair doesn't sound the same, one of the speakers sounds brighter and the other one sounds darker. I already did a lot of testing and I'm pretty sure the problem is with the speakers, not with my audio interface, nor my connections, nor my room. I already contacted my local dealer, they agreed with me and replaced one of the speakers, but this new speaker still sounds different from the other one (again, I'm sure the problem is the speakers, not my audio interface, room, etc). So I was wondering, is this normal? Is it that, because of the price range, there's no consistency in the quality of the T Series and I shouldn't have expected better from them? Or should I keep replacing them until I get a pair that sounds the same? The problem with that is that my local dealer will not have any more T7V units in stock until late July, so I'm stuck with what I've got. I'm really sad and disappointed.
Hi Brandon, sorry for your monitoring issues... Please reach out to suppport@adam-audio.com for more details on this.
For a dance DJ set to play in a house setting.. no need for the high end speakers then i guess.
I have a 1080p Asus monitor
the best of the best
I dont have monitors just headphones, Adam will be available on South América?
Hi Milton, yes we are available! You can check our site's dealer finder here: www.adam-audio.com/en/find-a-dealer/
My question: does the S5H have two amplifiers each 700 watts for the woofer? Or both combined 700 watts?
Hi! 700 watts total 👍
@@ADAMAudioBerlin thx for the answer.
The sound
which subwoofer from adam fits the a7x monitors? T10S or Sub8?
Hi there!
The Sub8 is designed for smaller rooms up to 20 square meters. It is an ideal match for the ADAM Audio AX-Series and the S2V nearfield monitors. While the T10S features and connectivity are engineered specifically to complement ADAM Audio’s T5V and T7V speakers.
So in your case, having the A7X we recommend you go for the Sub8.
I hope this can help you! All the best, Manuel.
Good question. Pricing in a market economy are usually defined by "what the market will bear." What the buyers are willing to shell out for it. Having said that, I would never pay 7 times the price for one 7-inch woofer studio monitor than for another 7-inch woofer studio monitor. Never.
Hi Adamoids; here's a question you probably can't or won't answer, but hey... one can try. ;) How does the T-serie compare to similarly priced monitors from Kali Audio? Like the LP6/8 or even the IN-8. I work in music retail (among Europe's biggest), and in the budget segment it's always the T-series and the Kali-models I advice to customers. Being an office clerk, I've no idea how these brands compare. ^_^ It's hard to say when/how a monitor is good anyway. What's 'good'? Neutral? I'd think that a neutral Adam still sounds different from a neutral Genelec.
Hi great question! Kali makes great, respectable products. Our biggest difference, however is the technology we've used... like we mentioned we use ART (Accelerated ribbon technology) as opposed to a typical dome tweeter which allows our monitors to extend further in the high-end, reducing ear fatigue when working for long hours. Neutrality is a key to studio reference monitoring, but it also is important to look at things like low/high frequency extension, how wide the sweet-spot is, the SPL from the monitors etc. There's a lot to consider when researching or purchasing a set of studio monitors. Hope this helps 👍
Adam, please make some monitors/speakers for those who do not need high end monitoring speakers, but need a pair of good performing active speakers for their PC. Like A5x with RCA or digital input, power switch on the front a master volume for both. With front port so we could put them against the wall. I think there are a lot of guys who want to upgrade their genius speakers. For some reason speakers for you computer always crappy. Or for those wh owant to put off their headphones and listen the music with a good pair of active speakers with those ribbon twitters (like myself)
Hi Alexey, thanks for your comment! Actually, the A3X and A5X tick a lot of boxes for you: they are equipped with RCA inputs, the power switches and bass ports are in the front and the stereo-link feature allows you to control the volume of both speakers by adjusting only one knob.
@@ADAMAudioBerlin A3X and A5X lack very important feature - accessible price. If you do not use the professionally, it is hard to justify the price.
I want to know if the Adam t7v gonna be in the future on white?
Hi Yafreisy Yafreisy, not planned yet... But we'll keep you updated.
I have a very specific question! I'm using HiFi Kenwood XD402, range 40hz-15k khz, I'm tired of how much space that Hi-Fi takes, so basically I want to get myself new active speakers. Everyone recommends T5V over T7V, they say T5V has better bass, but that the T7V sounds bigger, and here I am, never having owned any speakers except the ones on my table, stuck wondering whether T5V and T7V can match my speakers when it comes to bass? If so, which pair to get? I like bigger speakers, they would be more aligned with my ears when on a desktop, but if T5Vs have better bass, why bother with T7V? I REQUIRE KNOWLEDGE, PLEASE
Hi Jasper, both the T5V & T7V have different use-cases... and both are well-respected for being accurate across the whole spectrum. The T7V, with it's larger woofer, will have more low-end extension and a larger sound field like you mentioned. If it works better for your room, and aligns better with your listening position, we would definitely suggest the T7Vs for you. Hope that helps!
Can’t reed the msg
A 5" monitor is not good for your mains, generally speaking you really need at least an 8" monitor so you can mix the low end more accurately. Some 7" monitors might work, but most don't extend low enough in the frequency range. You can't mix what you can't hear.
Would the T8V be good for listening to my turntable? Currently I'm using a pair of Klipsch r-41pm
Hi there! Definitely yes! 🔥
@@ADAMAudioBerlin not sure how to go about the setup... I would take my Technics SL-1210GR RCA right & left into my Preamp. Then from the preamp use the RCA right jack to one speaker. The left to the other speaker? Not should how to get a volume control? Is there an interface that I can plug in between the preamp and speakers?
Hi AC! As the T8Vs are active speakers, they will work if you connect them in that way. But maybe you could also add an interface in between so you can easily control volumes and also record/import your mixes directly with your computer.
You can check out the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, for example.
All the best!
I like the TV5 but they make a lot of noise I have them hooked to a fur man.
Also does anyone know if the volume knobs are calibrated from one model to another
As a owner of A4V, I just can't understand why S2V can't work with integrated sonaworks calibration and my A4V (Very happy with them) can.
I was thinking about upgrade to S2V, cause it have better sub-bass response, about 35khz vs 53 khz of my A4V, but without Sonarworks, I prefer to keep my A4V's
Hi there! Unfortunately only the A Series come with Sonarworks ID Reference. Our team is currently working hard to improve this within the S Series.
what about the mid range? is there a big difference? thanks
Hi Henrique... While the T Series midrange is the best in it's class, you will hear significant improvements in the depth and clarity of the midrange elements as you move up in higher-quality components such as the woofer we mentioned in the video.
ADAM Audio ;) Thanks
Is sub7 a good match with T5V?
Hi Voicu! For the T-Series we recommend the T10S. It is designed for the monitors of the T-Series and ist goes even lower than the Sub7.
www.adam-audio.com/en/subwoofers/
All the best, Daniel.
Finally purchased T7Vs a few months ago..
1 very detailed and pretty accurate
2 build quality materials not the best
3 no light to show they are on
4 not as powerful as I original thought they would b
5 very fatiguing when listening to for a long time
6 almost affordable
7 would I recommend??? Idk 6.5 outta 10
5 year warranty? I literally ordered a pair of Adam T8V 8" monitors yesterday from Sweetwater and I only got a two year warranty. What gives???
Hi Luis, you can benefit from the extended warranty by registering your T8Vs on our website: www.adam-audio.com/en/my-adam/
Basically you have two categories *Prosumer* and *Professional* when comparing budget equipment to high end. My only complaint with the design is using an unnecessary LCD screen on the back of a speaker that you will never see. The Yamaha's just have switchable buttons and more reliable. The more fancy stuff the more things that can go wrong. I guess that's a German thing.
For the S Series, we found that the OLED display /push-button combination offers a quite convenient way to access all the different features that you can find in our flagship range: 2 x shelf filters (high and low) and parametric EQs for room compensation, 5 x presets, delay for distance compensation, and so on. That would be a lot of buttons and switches on the back plate :-)
@@ADAMAudioBerlin I see but Just think when that display burns out, that would be an expensive repair. Just like BMWs and Mercedes that have alot of fancy electronics gizmos that can go wrong as they age turns into money pit cars. What about utilizing a software app?
The USB port on the back of our S Series monitors allows you to connect the speakers to your PC and you can access all the mentioned features via our S Control remote software. Apart from that, we offer an Extended Warranty of 5 years for all our products upon registration in the MyADAM user area on our website, to protect your investment. Good questions!
The LED/DSP function display is a 'cost effective' (cheaper) option to using pots and switches.
i even dont have a studio ,but those monitors are years light from me probably i will never have them 😒 the low cost version ,that more up cost are more bilioms years light 😅
The s2v looks like the new krk rockits for 250 😅
Why does t7v tweeter hiss so much?
Hi Filip! Due to the high-performance amplifier, the T7V produces a low self-noise, which should not be perceived as disturbing from a distance of 1.3 meters. For the best signal-to-noise ratio, we generally recommend that you adjust the input volume you use to drive the monitor as loud as possible (without clipping the input of the monitor) and then turn the monitor volume down accordingly. Hope that helps!
@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thank you for the response! So if my pair produces disturbing hiss they are faulty? I am going to change them for another pair.
Hi Filip! Feel free to reach out to our support team here: www.adam-audio.com/en/support/. Have a great day!
Excellent! I'll take the S2V for $500!!
single price? I am seriously think buy s2v instead my pmc result6..
Did you have a look at some of the retailers like Sweetwater?
