ADAM Audio T8V
Product information "ADAM Audio T8V"
The T8V fromAdam Audio's T series is a professional studio monitoring system with an 8˝ bass-midrange driver.
The 2-way system offers excellent sound characteristics and considerable power reserves in its price class.
The Class D amplifiers ensure a decent dynamic range and the U-ART tweeters provide a speed ratio of 4:1.
The tweeter plays up to 25 kHz and its dispersion behaviour is optimised by the HPS waveguide, which provides a wider, usable "sweet spot".
The T8V is a clear recommendation for bass-heavy productions in particular, as its bass-midrange driver can reproduce frequencies down to 33 Hz.

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.
