The A8H studio monitor from ADAM Audio represents the top model of the A-series and delivers high resolution and sonic precision, making it the optimal choice for the most demanding monitoring situations in medium and larger studios. The 3-way speaker comes with an 8-inch woofer composed of multi-layered mineral fibre material (MLM). Also on board is an innovative midrange driver as well as ADAM Audio's handmade X-Art tweeter. A special feature is the rotatable HPS waveguide and the integrated DSP technology, which allow the speaker to be adapted to all conceivable listening situations.
Thanks to the ADAM Audio HPS Waveguide, you get precisely directed sound with wide dispersion in the horizontal and tight focus in the vertical. Made of a novel high-density fibreglass polymer material, unwanted resonances are minimized, resulting in a clearer sound image. Conveniently, the tweeter can be rotated 90 degrees to allow the monitor to be used both vertically and horizontally without sacrificing the benefits of the waveguide.
In the centre of this HPS waveguide is the so-called X-ART tweeter - handmade in Germany and with the guarantee of maximum impulse response and detail.
Oriented to the highly regarded DHC midrange driver of the S-series from the high-end range, it ensures an exceptionally clean reproduction, especially in the mid-frequency range, where the ear is particularly sensitive to tonal colourations. furthermore, the bass driver is relieved of the output of mid-frequencies, so that transparent mids can be accurately reproduced.
The bass drivers of each A-Series speaker consist of multiple, tightly bonded layers of a mineral fibre material that is characterized by low weight and maximum stiffness. Specially adapted for each speaker model and in combination with the likewise newly developed magnet system, each bass driver delivers high levels with minimal distortion - optimal for a transparent and powerful
Driven by Class-D power amplifiers, the bass drivers are ideally suited for linear performance and minimal distortion. The power amplifiers are used to impress with high efficiency and low heat generation while creating the potential for further improvements and even higher performance.
For high and, depending on the model, also mid-range drivers, Class AB power amplifiers are used, which are known for particularly neutral reproduction of high frequencies.
Compared to pure analogue speakers, A-Series models deliver significantly improved and more extensive fine-tuning options. Thanks to the integrated DSP, the speakers can be easily connected via Ethernet and fed with the latest firmware updates. So you always get the latest filter types, voicings and more.

Another practical feature is the possibility of remote control via A Control Remote software. Here you can conveniently adjust the monitoring volumes and all settings, completely independent of your monitoring position. Especially in multi-purpose studio rooms, the quick reconfiguration of all monitor functions via A Control is particularly useful.
However, if you prefer to calibrate your setup with the help of a measuring microphone and the popular Sonarworks software (both not included), you can also do this without any problems!
