2. WHY CHOOSE ADAM AUDIO?

For over 15 years, since its foundation in Berlin in 1999, ADAM Audio has been an

internationally respected manufacturer of extremely accurate reference loudspeakers for

the professional audio market. Following rapid recognition, success and growth in the

early years of the 21st century, ADAM Audio now makes acclaimed products that can be

found in the favorite studios of the world‘s finest producers, audio and mix engineers.

ADAM Audio‘s loudspeaker products are based on sound engineering principles and

technological innovation in the skilled crafts of cabinet construction, power amplification,

and driver design, including the refinement of the established folded accelerated ribbon

tweeter concept into the high-performance, extremely accurate ART, X-ART and now

S-ART treble drivers. The company proudly considers itself a contributor to Germany‘s

much-admired heritage in the fields of precision tool making and advanced industrial design.

3. INTRODUCING S SERIES

The five-strong S Series, ADAM Audio‘s new flagship loudspeaker range, incorporates

many technical innovations in the realms of electroacoustics and mechanical engineering,

the results of taking the concept of the reference monitor back to the drawing board to

create better products. There are totally new bass and mid-range drivers, new waveguides,

and tightened manufacturing tolerances for ADAM Audio‘s unique high-frequency

folded-ribbon driver, alongside digital connectivity and a newly developed, forward-thinking

DSP engine. Even the cabinets and bass-reflex ports, which may seem familiar to

existing users of ADAM Audio loudspeakers, have been completely redesigned.

Custom-developed in Berlin without off-the-shelf speaker components, these are

lou

dspeakers without compromise, offering an excellent dynamic response, extreme

flexibility in operation, and a transparent, unfatiguing sound, making them essential

equipment for audio professionals.

The range currently consists of the nearfield S2V, the larger S3V and S3H, and the S5V

and S5H, the largest in the range. ʻHʼ denotes a speaker designed optimally for horizontal

use, ʻVʼ the version designed for vertical use.
