S5X-V
The S5X-V
The S5X-V is a four-way vertically oriented studio monitor
incorporating ADAM’s proprietary X-ART folded ribbon tweeter and
midrange unit, which provide amazingly life-like, detailed imaging.
It houses a 12” HexaCone subwoofer drive unit that has a large 3”
voice coil and a very strong magnet system. The combination of
this big motor with the outstanding stiffness of the cone enable the
reproduction of signals down to 25Hz while remaining stable and
tight. The 7.5” midwoofer uses the same honey-comb core coated
with Kevlar on both sides, allowing for an extremely precise and
uncolored response.
The upper three drivers are each powered by a 250W discrete
PWM (see p. 38) amplifier, and a 500W digital amp powers the 12”
subwoofer.
The S5X-V is designed to be used as either a midfield or main monitor
in the most demanding professional recording, mixing, and surround
studio applications.
Main Monitor S5X-V
Highly sophisticated control panel
Both versions of the S5X incorporate the new, very refined control
panel (see p. 39) that captivates the user with the variety and
precision of its controls.
Apart from the standby-button, there are two controls for the
input sensitivity, two for the bass section and two more for the high
frequencies.
