Introduction First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing ADAM Audio! ADAM Home Monitors are built for maximum quality reproduction and audio perfection. You have selected a precise, high resolution passive speaker system that allows you to professionally evaluate audio recordings. We are confident that these monitors can meet your expectations for faithful sound reproduction.
Setting up your speakers General recommendations for the set up: • The speakers should be positioned on firm ground or a stand. Vibrating parts of nearby objects can mask the sound. • Normally it is advised to set them up in the horizontal position: B A A and B speakers • there are 2 kinds of HM3´s. To avoid interferences between the woofers of the HM3 one of the units stops at 150 Hz, like a built in subwoofer, the other one goes up to 1800 Hz. You find an A or B label on the back side of the monitors.
Setting up your speakers The Tweeter should be positioned approximately at the height of your ears. In case you need to position the speaker in a significant lower or higher position, the monitor should be angled accordingly. Placement of 2 speakers The ideal placement of two speakers and a listener in a two-channel stereo listening situation are the corner points of a equilateral triangle (60° angles).
A.R.T. Accelerated Ribbon Technology So far, all loudspeaker drive units, whether they are voice coil driven, electrostatics, piezos or magnetostatics, act like a piston, moving air in a 1:1 ratio. As the specific weight of air is much lower than that of the driving mechanics, there is a bad match between source and load. This is one of the main reasons for the small 1-2% efficiency of conventional speakers.
