A8X
The most powerful AX monitor
With its power and radiation characteristics, the brand new A8X is
suitable for both nearfield and midfield monitoring. With a price/
performance ratio that could hardly be better, this monitor is a
perfect entry into these monitoring fields.
The A8X is equipped with the X-ART tweeter and a large (8.5”)
midwoofer, a combination that adds both a very deep and yet very
tight bass response to the unsurpassed reproduction qualities of the
ADAM proprietary tweeter: a licence to thrill.
Cabinet- and bass reflex-construction
Like the other AX-Series models, the upper corners of the A8X are
slanted to minimize reflections. The very large, double bass reflex
tubes on the front have been specifically designed to perfectly match
the midwoofer with its large voice coil.
Amplification and controls
With a 50W amplifier for the tweeter and a 150W amplifier for the
midwoofer, the A8X has power in abundance and is the brawny
monitor of the AX-Series.
On the rear panel are several controls: a gain for the high frequencies
(± 4dB) and two shelf filters for the high and low frequencies.
There are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors
on the rear panel of the speaker, which allow the A8X to be used in
almost any application.
