S5X-H
S5X: Main Monitors a notch above
Both Versions of the S5X models have been designed for medium
and large sized control rooms in which the precision and the power of
the sound production are essential. The main task of these monitors
is to bring the extraordinary sound quality all ADAM monitors are
famous for into areas of higher dynamics and higher sound pressure
levels.
Drivers
The S5X-H features two 12” HexaCone woofers, a 7.5” HexaCone
midwoofer unit, an X-ART midrange and an X-ART tweeter. This
combination is capable of filling large control rooms with breathtaking
realism and stunning dynamic performance.
Amplifiers
The upper three drivers are each powered by a 250 W discrete PWM
(see p. 38) amplifier while two 500 W digital amp drive the two 12”
woofers.
The X-ART midrange
The most famous and highly acclaimed feature of all ADAM monitors
is the proprietary Accelerating Ribbon Technology tweeters. An
exclusive feature of the main monitors is the application of this
technology to the midrange as well.
In accordance to the X-ART tweeters, also the midrange units now
feature the improved X-ART. Compared to their ART predecessors,
these midranges show improvements namely in higher efficiencies
and higher maximum sound pressure levels.
