Adam D3V Black Active Desktop Monitor (Pair, Black)

Experience studio-quality sound with the ADAM Audio D3V, a fully active desktop monitoring system tailored for songwriters, producers, and audiophiles seeking exceptional audio clarity in a compact form. Available in sleek black or white finishes, the D3V combines German industrial design with ADAM’s renowned golden ribbon tweeter technology for intricate, fatigue-free high-frequency reproduction.

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.
