Main Features

• High-Performance Aluminium Woofers
  Each monitor includes a 3.5-inch one-piece aluminium woofer with a ferrite magnet system and symmetrical voice coil, driven by powerful 80 W amplifiers. This design ensures minimal distortion and a linear motor for accurate low-frequency reproduction down to 45 Hz.

• Innovative D-ART Ribbon Tweeter
  Built on 25 years of ribbon tweeter technology, the 1.5-inch Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter (D-ART) offers precise, fatigue-free high-frequency playback with DSP-managed crossover fine-tuning for exceptional clarity.

• Dual-Sided Passive Radiators
  Two 3.5-inch passive radiators per speaker enhance bass response and overall sound pressure level, using stainless steel plates and specialised long-stroke rubber surrounds to extend low-end performance without distortion.

• Direct Digital USB-C Input
  Connect effortlessly to computers, mobiles, or tablets without an audio interface. The class-compliant USB-C input provides high-quality digital audio playback free from compression or conversion issues associated with traditional connections.

• Balanced Analogue Inputs
  For classic setups, balanced ¼-inch TRS inputs enable seamless connectivity with audio interfaces, synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, and DJ mixers. Easily switch between USB-C and analogue inputs with the volume knob.

• User-Friendly Room Acoustics Controls
  Located on the left speaker’s backplate, three switches allow adjustment for speaker position, desk size, and room acoustics to optimise sound accuracy in various environments.

• Convenient Headphone Output and Monitor Stands
  A front-facing 3.5 mm headphone socket automatically switches playback for private listening. Detachable monitor stands angle the speakers at 15° for optimal ear alignment, with a 3/8-inch threaded hole on each cabinet supporting microphone stand mounting.

• Robust Injection-Moulded Cabinet
  Crafted from thick ABS Polycarbonate with internal bracing and rounded edges, the cabinet minimises vibrations and high-frequency diffraction, staying true to ADAM Audio’s iconic design standards.

• Warranty
  Standard 2-year warranty with an option to extend to 5 years upon registration through the My ADAM User Area.
