Hello, dear customers, immediately apologize for my English.
Monitors Adam a8x made great impression on me, especially after working with many low-end monitors. I will do a short review of these monitors and talk about the fact that I liked them.
Due to its power are ideal for short and medium fields
Sound
The main thing in these monitors is their sound. After their budget monitors, I immediately noticed that all the tracks that I had listened to sound a bit different, the sound became more vivid, dense (I have half anechoic room and 2 bass traps) midrange very well monitored. To get used to these monitors dont need, they are perfectly "right" sound and to reduce them is a pleasure. It is not necessary to use them at high volume, but when listening to the mix, its worth it to do.
Workmanship
Well, at the expense of that, I think generally nikakh issues should not occur, as the Germans respect themselves and do not get by, any damage or defects were found. Nothing falls off, all well kept, connectors do not hang
Price / Performance
For the price of monitors fully justified, in any case, using these monitors, there will be a sense of wrong choices.
Handling/Operation
Adam a8x developers have worked well and over the ease of use of monitors.
1) The main advantage is the location of bass reflex front, which allows you to place monitors against a wall.
2) volume control and power button off, also located on the front. This is very useful because in some cases, do not have to climb over and pull their monitors.
3) Place the monitor is possible, as in the standard, and on one of the sides. When using the stand, it will be slightly lower twitter, putting a column on one of the sides.
4)The rear panel has adjustable input sensitivity tweeter, two kvalizuyuschih filter. There is a balanced (XLR), and nebalasny (RCA) input.
Features
Well of course the pride of this band twitter, which in my opinion is very well reproduces the top (crossover of 2.3 kHz).
Adam a8x have two sloping top corner, allowing dispel reflection and vibration.
Two reflex, providing a high return on the border of the low-frequency range.
I am very pleased with the purchase and recommend buying all the Adam a8x.
A8X itself.
Is a really good speaker. You should be ready that "good" means realistic and detailed sound, sutable for orchestra recordings. If you prefer "soft" sound or "bum-bum" bass, you should choose another speaker.
Set
Set is a bit strange. MSI-145 seems ok pad (if you need it at all), but it has size 330x265mm, while speaker is 255x320mm. So, you sould rotate pad for 90 degrees to place speaker on it. The issue is: MSI-145 (unlike MSI-140) has angle of 5 degrees. So, if you rotate them and place speakers on them, the result will look like this:
/_/ _
Or like this
_ /_/
But not like |_| |_|
So, putting MSI-145 as a part ofr set with A8X looks a bit strange.
Very pleased with the purchase. One proposal can be characterized as a very Adam
A8x collected at low frequencies, the elastic, clear in the mids and clear at
the top, though sound is sometimes even hard. Very - very good bass.
