The Adam S3V active 3-way studio reference monitors with 9-inch bass drivers, that have been designed specifically for vertical placement. Whilst a 3-way mid-field design, the S3V could also be used as near field monitors in smaller spaces too. The S3V have outstanding frequency response, extending from 32 Hz to 50 kHz. The S series of professional speakers from Adam, feature their custom designed DSP system for tuning the monitors and setting crossovers. Digital and analog inputs, 850 W amplification and a max SPL of 124 dB, the S3V studio monitors will cater to the most demanding critical listening applications.

FEATURES
TECH SPECS

Adam S3V Features:
S-ART tweeter, handmade in Berlin and manufactured to the tightest tolerances in ADAM Audio’s history:
Allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue
Their breakup is prevented by the folded diaphragms, distortions are effectively reduced to a minimum
Advanced dynamic range due to acoustically effective diaphragm surface that is 2.5 times bigger (compared to a classic tweeter according to the piston principle)

The air velocity ratio of 4:1 during the sound generation by folded S-ART membrane:
Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients

Newly designed HPS waveguide, milled from a solid block of aluminum:
Makes dispersion more consistent and imaging more stable over a wider area
Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of, e.g. mixing consoles, desks, etc.

New midrange driver with one-piece hybrid dome/cone (DCH) design:
Offering the sonic advantages of both driver types, with minimal partial resonances
Partly responsible for the excellent mid-range dispersion characteristics of the S Series, due to improved integration with the treble driver

Custom-built Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass driver:
Accurate audio reproduction at an extremely high resolution thanks to the precision-designed relationship between its low weight, optimized inner damping and highly rigid HexaCone membrane, in conjunction with a basket which has been developed to eliminate unwanted resonance and distortion

Custom-designed Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA):
Allows the voice coil a maximum excursion three times greater than that offered by previous designs, with an extended, symmetrical magnetic field ensuring linear, low-distortion operation
Power compression effects are prevented by an intelligent self-cooling system

Vertical 3-way system with 1 x 9” woofer and 1 x 4" DCH midrange:
Very high resolution of the stereo image

Spacious bass reflex ports on the front:
Bass reproduction with very low compression
Allows positioning close to walls

Highly efficient PWM ICE Power amplifier for the woofer and midrange driver coupled with an A/B amplifier for S-ART tweeter:
Low-distortion amplification at both low and high volume levels

Linear frequency response of 32 Hz to 50 kHz:
Unbiased reproduction in a wide frequency band

Maximum peak sound pressure per pair in 1 m ≥ 124 dB:
Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels

Custom DSP engine:
Perfect crossovers for optimal frequency response and maximum dynamic range
EQ options and presets for in-room optimization
Limiter-based amp protection, AES3 digital inputs and board connectors for future expansion options, together with a USB connector for software upgrades and computer-based control

Analog XLR input:
Optimized for balanced line signals

Acoustically optimized and weightily constructed cabinets:
Reduction of susceptibility to vibrations and unwanted edge-diffraction effect

2 years warranty with optional extension to 3 years with the registration of the product:
Full repair service if required for 5 years
