ADAM Audio A4V
Product information "ADAM Audio A4V"
Adam Audio have launched the successors to the famous AX series and are introducing a new range of monitors with the new A series.
The A4V from Adam Audio is a compact 2-way active monitor with a 4" woofer and 2" tweeter. It is designed for smaller studio rooms, short listening distances and immersive multi-channel playback, but is equipped for a wide range of acoustic room influences as it allows DSP-controlled frequency adjustments. These adjustments can be made directly via buttons on the rear panel or via Ethernet connection using the Control Remote software and room correction via Sonarworks. The woofer offers more headroom than the AX series woofer. A newly developed, multi-layered cone made of modern materials such as mineral fibres is used, which ensures high strength and therefore very clean sound reproduction. The well-known, precise X-Art ribbon tweeter, handmade in Berlin, is used for the high frequency spectrum. The HPS waveguide on the tweeter (familiar from Adam's S series) ensures that disruptive first reflections from above and below are eliminated and a wide sweet spot is guaranteed. The tweeter and waveguide of the A4V can be rotated to allow horizontal or vertical positioning. However, vertical positioning is recommended. The A4V offers an astonishingly powerful and precise sound in a beautifully compact housing and high-quality appearance. In combination with the Adam Sub8, Sub10 MKII or Sub12 subwoofer, the sun really rises and makes the full-range heart beat faster.
The new A-Series from Adam offers three voicings that can be selected on the rear, which are tailored to the respective model and offer different sound characteristics. Pure is maximally neutral and ideal for mixing and mastering, UNR (Uniform Natural Response) offers a minimally coloured frequency response based on the AX series, which is well suited for producing, composing and demanding music enjoyment, and Ext (Extendet) is for external control via the Ethernet interface.
Adam Audio offers an extended warranty period of 5 years when registering the product on their homepage.

The German company ADAM Audio develops, manufactures and distributes high-end loudspeakers for professional use. Founded in Berlin in 1999 and still based there today, ADAM Audio has grown from a hidden gem into a true pioneer and global player in loudspeaker development. The name ADAM Audio comes from the specially developed Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitor.
The foundation for its success was laid by the newly developed X-ART tweeter, which is based on Oskar Heil's Air Motion Transformer from the 1960s. Sound in the X-ART tweeter is not produced by a piston-like moving diaphragm, as was customary until then, but by a pleated film used in the tweeter. This drives the air four times faster than it would move on its own. In fact, the Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors quickly became the new benchmark in professional monitoring.
The newly developed tweeter immediately became synonymous with a crystal-clear, highly resolved sound and is ADAM Audio's most famous development. Further progress was also made through the use of modern materials such as rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm films, which enabled new designs.
As part of continuous development, a successor to the renowned X-ART tweeter was already designed: the S-ART tweeter. New, solid-aluminium machined HPS and MPS waveguides were also developed to improve dispersion, projection and imaging of the sound and to enlarge the speakers' sweet spot.
Even in times of automated mass production, all ADAM Audio products are meticulously handmade and tested at the Berlin facility. ADAM Audio employs over 60 people worldwide and is represented in more than 75 countries. The fan base, made up of renowned recording studios as well as thoroughly satisfied hi‑fi listeners using ADAM Audio products, is large and continues to grow.
