Main Features
3.5" Aluminium Woofers with Ferrite Magnet System
Crafted from a rigid one-piece aluminium cone and optimised via ADAM’s advanced Klippel analysis, the woofers deliver uncoloured, distortion-free sound across a wide dynamic range. Powered by 80W amplifiers, they ensure powerful, clear bass response enhanced by dual-sided passive radiators.D-ART Tweeter for Superb High Frequencies
The innovative 1.5” Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter offers precise, crystal-clear highs driven by 40W amplifiers. Its ribbon diaphragm is hand-folded for accuracy, supported by highly accurate DSP crossover fine-tuning.Dual-Sided Passive Radiators
Four passive radiators (two per speaker) with stainless-steel plates and stabilised rubber surrounds extend the low-frequency response down to 45 Hz, increasing the overall sound pressure level and enhancing bass depth.USB-C Direct Digital Input
The convenient plug-and-play USB-C connection allows the D3V to function as a digital audio device with computers and mobile devices, bypassing compression and additional audio interfaces for pristine playback.Balanced Analogue Inputs
Two ¼” balanced TRS inputs enable straightforward connection to synthesizers, audio interfaces, drum machines, and DJ mixers, offering flexible integration into any studio or music setup.Room Acoustic Adjustments via DSP
Easily tailor your sound with the backplate’s three dedicated switches for speaker position, desk size, and room acoustics, mitigating common placement-related acoustic issues.User-Friendly Controls
The front panel includes a volume knob that also manages input selection, muting, and standby, along with a headphone output that automatically mutes the monitors when in use.Included Accessories & Mounting Options
Supplied with detachable monitor stands angled at 15° for optimal listening, the D3V monitors also feature threaded 3/8" mounting holes for microphone or speaker stands. Desktop pads reduce unwanted vibrations and improve sound clarity.Robust, Stylish Cabinet
Made from thick injection-moulded ABS Polycarbonate with rounded edges to reduce diffraction, the compact housing follows ADAM Audio’s heritage of elegant, resilient design with integrated internal bracing to minimise resonance.
