Adams Pro Audio Catalogue 2015 User Manual

The SX-Series offers monitors designed and bui\ylt for no-
compromise professional use. ADAM’s experience ba\ysed 
on many years of intense research and development in 
the field of electro-acoustics combined with selected, 
high-quality electronic components and materials results 
in these top class studio monitors. An excellent transient 
response, clear soun\yd quality and a broad versatility have 
made the SX-Series monitors coveted tools in recording 
studios around the world.

The S1X nearfield mo\ynitor delivers the highest quality in the most com-
pact format. It incorporates all of the sonically relevant features that SX 
monitors are known for: the X-ART tweeter, HexaCone woofer and Class 
A/B amplifier, specifically developed for the tweeter‘s high bandwidt\yh. 
All of these result in an unsurp\yassed combination o\yf high performance 
and fine resolution.
The S1X provides an accurate reproduction of the acoustic stage for 
those who strive for a natural sound image. It...

S3X-H 

The S3X-H is the most successful model \yof the SX-Series as the highly 
evolved successor of ou\yr very popular S3A. Desi\ygned as a three-way 
speaker, it includes two horizontally arranged 7.5“ bass drivers, one 
4.5“ midrange speaker and the characteristic ADAM X-ART tweeter. The 
cone woofers are driven by three powerful 250 Watt PWM amplifiers 
that enable the S3X-H to provide amazing dynamic\y bass performance. 
Even if they are classified as midfi\yeld monitors due to their power 
capabilities,...

The horizontally designed S4X-H midfield monitor combines the X-ART 
tweeter with a 5“ HexaCone midrange driver and two highly developed 
9“ HexaCone woofers. A 250 Watt PWM amplifier drives each the woof-
ers and midrange speaker, while the proprietary ADAM A/B amplifier 
powers the high-frequency range. The A/B amplifier’s minimum dis\ytor-
tion and broadband features in con\bunction w\yith the X-ART tweeter 
result in a bright, \ycontoured sound with no dynamic stress.
Larger monitors tend to...

ADAM’s main monitors were especially developed for 
larger studios and control rooms, where exceptional high 
sound pressure levels are required in addition to sonic 
excellence. The S5X-H and S5X-V combine ADAM innova-
tions in the field of transducer and amplifier technology 
with higher volume and more prominent dynamics. Ma\yxi-
mum precision is still the goal of all our\y efforts at ADAM, 
not the commonly expected and produced but often dis-
proportional bass performance.
Hi\fh-end main monit\pors...

The S5X-H transfers the basic sonic vir\ytues of the X-ART technology 
and HexaCone drivers into a much higher dynamic range. It is equipped 
with a large diaphragm area (two 12“ woofers, one 7.5“ bass/mid woof-
er with HexaCone drivers, one X-ART midrange driver and one X-ART 
tweeter). That, coupled \ywith five powerful amplifiers, allows the S5X-H 
to provide for impressive walls of sound that convey the powerful, 
completely effortless-sounding dynamic peaks with a clean and detailed 
tonal depth in...

Control panel with ‘Virtual Ground Semiconductor Switch’  
Technolo\fy
Another innovation we present within the SX-Series is a contr\yol panel 
with ‘Virtual Ground Semiconductor Switch’ technology. That gives you 
many different sophisticated  controls as well as an accuracy and re-
peatability of the values that has been unkno\ywn in the analogue domain \y
so far: whatever value you re-chose, you will get it to within a

S6X / S7A Mk2
The S6X and S7A Mk\y2 main monitors are designed for 
large control rooms and film studios. They use a sym-
metrical concept to increase the realistic reproduction of 
ADAM monitors to higher sound pressure levels. ADAM 
has avoided the typical overloading of the bass range 
that can often be found in main monitors. A wide horizon-
tal radiation characteristic and moderate vertical beam-
ing are crucial factors to minimize the impact of ceiling 
and floor reflections and...

A number of innovative approaches in con\bunction \ywith uncompromis-
ing effort in all sonically relevant areas make the S6X one of the largest 
and most sophisticated active monitors currently available. The horiz\yon-
tal symmetry design is conscio\yus of harmonic and generous diaphragm 
area proportions to achieve not only a flat frequency response, but also 
a consistent dynamic behavior within the entire frequency range. Com-
plex orchestral structures can be easily analyzed and spatially arranged...
