Adam Audio S5V Active Studio Monitor (Main)

The Adam Audio S5V Active Studio Monitor is designed for medium-sized and larger studio control rooms. It has all the raw power that studio professionals would expect from a reference speaker in its class, but it also reproduces full-bandwidth, high-resolution audio with total precision and clarity.

ADAM Audio's Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass drivers and Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA) technology were developed specifically for the S Series, and the 12-inch bass driver on the S5V benefits from both concepts, providing unrivalled reproduction quality in terms of accuracy, dynamic range, and coloration freedom. The 4-inch DCH MF driver, with its unique hybrid dome/cone construction, handles important mid-range information with extreme precision, while ADAM Audio's S-ART folded-ribbon tweeter, handmade in Berlin to the tightest tolerances, produces breathtaking highs and ensures the soundfield is presented in all of its finest detail.

Because of the incorporation of high- and mid-frequency waveguides milled from solid aluminium: ADAM Audio's newly developed Mid-range and High-frequency Propagation Systems, the off-axis responses of the treble and mid drivers remain exceptionally accurate (MPS and HPS). The resulting consistent, wide-ranging dispersion allows teams of more than one person to work in the sweet spot of the loudspeakers at the same time, which is typically required in bigger setups.

The custom-designed DSP in the S Series optimises the loudspeaker crossovers to produce linear responses across the whole frequency range, as well as allowing user equalisation and in-room tuning/voicing functions. The DSP also manages limiter-based high-frequency driver protection, processes signals from the AES3 digital inputs, and will eventually enable different extension possibilities. Software updates are simple to perform using the USB connector, which also allows users to connect PCs and manage the speakers' DSP features through a software front-end.

The S5V's bass unit is powered by a Class D 700 W amplifier, with other Class D designs giving 300 W and 100 W to the DCH mid and S-ART treble speakers, respectively.

The S5V is a reference monitor for audio professionals working in the most spacious listening venues, combining the famous precision of ADAM Audio's patented drivers with the power of the company's amplification.
