Adam Audio S5V

The Adam S5V Main Studio Monitor (Single) features a 12" woofer, a total power output of 1100W RMS across 26Hz-50kHz with an XLR input connection. The S5V is designed for medium-sized and larger studio control rooms as it is capable of reproducing full-bandwidth, high-resolution audio with complete accuracy and clarity. Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass drivers and Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA) technology combined with the 12" bass driver offer a quality reproduction in terms of accuracy, dynamic range and colouration-freedom.

The 4" DCH MF driver features a hybrid dome/cone construction and handles midrange information with extreme precision, while the S-ART folded-ribbon tweeter produces incredible highs. The off-axis responses of the treble and mid drivers remain extremely accurate thanks to the addition of high- and mid-frequency waveguides milled from solid aluminium.

The custom-designed DSP optimises loudspeaker crossovers to create linear responses for the whole range, and provides user equalisation and in-room tuning/voicing functions. The DSP also handles the limiter-based high-frequency driver protection and processes the signals from the AES3 digital inputs. A Class-D 700W amplifier drives the S5V’s bass unit, with further Class-D designs providing 300W and 100W to the DCH mid and S-ART treble drivers.
