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.
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
