desirable in popular music. The second is<br />
a shelf fi lter that allows the engineer to<br />
alter the frequencies below 150Hz.<br />
High frequencies can also be adjusted<br />
by two different controls. The fi rst alters the<br />
high frequency volume (-2dB to +2dB), while<br />
the second is a shelf fi lter <strong>for</strong> frequencies<br />
above 6kHz. Both the high and low shelf<br />
fi lters can raise or lower ±4dB progressively<br />
within their frequency band.<br />
A7: The Best-Reviewed Monitor Worldwide?<br />
The A7 is an active two way nearfi eld<br />
monitor matching the ART tweeter with a<br />
state of the art 6.5“ woofer that introduces<br />
a new cone material (Rohacell/carbon<br />
fi bre) which combines high rigidity and high<br />
internal damping with low weight, resulting<br />
in an extremely accurate monitor with<br />
all the clarity, detail, and spectacular<br />
imaging traditionally associated with the<br />
ADAM name.<br />
The A7 is powered by two 50W amplifi ers<br />
(one per driver). The front panel sports both<br />
a power switch and volume control, while<br />
the rear panel houses controls <strong>for</strong> tweeter<br />
level and two shelving fi lters <strong>for</strong> high and<br />
low frequencies.<br />
The unit also features both balanced<br />
(XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input<br />
connectors, allowing it to be used in almost<br />
any audio application.<br />
Well over two dozen different magazines<br />
have reviewed the multiple award-winning<br />
A7 and every single review was nothing but<br />
a paean of praise. Here is only one example:<br />
“With their precise and clear sound, the<br />
A7s are hard to beat as stereo or surround<br />
monitors <strong>for</strong> small rooms.“ (Mix, 01/08).<br />

S3X-H: The Legend Continues<br />
The S3A is one of ADAM’s most famous<br />
models and is found in many of the most<br />
prestigious recording studios all over the<br />
world. Tape Op applauded: “The S3A is<br />
the best nearfi eld or midfi eld monitor that<br />
I have ever heard.” The successor of this<br />
monitor-legend is the S3X-H, a monitor<br />
second to none within its size and<br />
price point.<br />
ADAM S3X-H<br />
Unlike the S3A, the new X-model<br />
incorporates a 4” HexaCone-midrange<br />
as part of the redesigned construction<br />
to further improve the musically most<br />
important midrange. This new design<br />
provides more detail with improved<br />
radiation characteristics, while presenting<br />
a musically coherent sound.<br />
To produce deep, tight bass, both<br />
woofers now work within the same<br />
frequency range and radiate symmetrically.<br />
This allows <strong>for</strong> a problem free installation<br />
in any multi-channel application.<br />
S7A Mk2: The Reference<br />
With the S7A Mk2 we proudly present a<br />
unique combination of ADAM’s proprietary<br />
transducer technology, modern PWM<br />
amplifi er design, a highly sophisticated<br />
control panel, and an advanced d‘Appolito<br />
speaker alignment, resulting in a main<br />
monitor meant to analyse the details of<br />
every kind of music to a degree not known<br />
so far. It features a whopping 1500W of<br />
onboard power (rms), reaching peaks of<br />
about 128dB (1m), two 15” subwoofers,<br />
two 9” HexaCone-midwoofers, two ART<br />
midrange units, and one ART tweeter.<br />
The S7A Mk2 is the benchmark of what<br />
is possible in state of the art full range<br />
active professional monitoring, today.<br />
It incorporates all of the ADAM inventions<br />
and designs, as well as the best materials<br />
available. This fusion of power and capacity<br />
with precision and accuracy results in<br />
unparalleled per<strong>for</strong>mance in professional<br />
monitoring.<br />
