ADAM Audio:
The ART of
Technology
In the beginning, the monitors from ADAM Audio were only known
from an insiders’ tip amongst experts. Ten years later, ADAM
speakers have developed a worldwide, impeccable reputation as
the preeminent tool for all sound engineers.
One of the main reasons for the great success of the ADAM
products is the technical progress in several areas of speaker
design. ADAM introduced many innovations which were not
“just cosmetics”, but true engineering progress that went to the
essences of what speaker design is all about: its sound.
The most famous and most fundamental of these innovations
undoubtly is the ADAM proprietary Accelerating Ribbon Technology:
Every ADAM speaker uses ART drivers and every one of these
drivers is being manufactured and measured in house. With the
improvements of this technology in the new X-ART tweeters and
midranges ADAM reinforces its claim to offer the best transducer
technology available today.
“And by using the ART technology for the middle and high
frequency reproduction, the speaker manufacturer from Berlin
has set himself worldwide at the forefront of what is possible in
reproduction quality.”
(Hardbeat, Germany, 06/2007)
Engineering progress is not limited to the ART technology but
extends to other areas of loudspeaker design such as diaphragm
materials, new development and application of high-class
amplifiers, the coupling of drivers and cabinets, control panels,
and more.
In the following pages we provide you with some descriptions of
the fundamental approaches of ADAM Audio as well as detailed
explanations of some of the technologies mentioned above. For
