Sophisticated design

The AX series monitor cabinets feature chamfered upper corners on the front, helping to minimise edge diffraction so that phase cancellation is not an issue. The interior of the cabinet is equipped with a special fleece, that prevents the internal resonances being disturbed as well as ensuring superior bass reflex tuning. The front panel houses the power switch, volume control and front-firing bass reflex ports, providing greater ease-of-use and allowing the monitor to be placed closer to a wall if needed.

The woofers on all AX series monitors are built using a construction of woven carbon and glass fiber with the synthetic material Rohacell. When these three materials are combined together, the result is an ultra-lightweight yet extremely rigid material that provides excellent transient responses.

A/B and PWM amplifier

All models in the AX series feature two discrete amplifiers including an A/B that drives the X-ART tweeter and functions quickly within its broad frequency range, and a mid-range woofer that is driven by a powerful and highly efficient pulse-width modulated (PWM) amplifier. By pairing these two together, Adam delivers monitors that do not require additional heat sinks and are both more reliable and durable than traditional amplifiers.

Cater to any space

One of the most useful features of the A8X is the ability to cater to different space and environments, a useful function when it comes to home studio setups, as well as professional studio spaces. The ‘Tweeter Gain’ function allows you to raise or lower the level of the high frequency range up to 4dB. The ‘Shelving Filter’ furthers your ability to adapt to different room acoustics and environments. Additionally the low shelf filter gives you precise control over your low-end response below 300 Hz, while the high shelf EQ kicks in at 2.5kHz, both operating at the same levels from -6db to +6db.

X-ART tweeter

The X-ART tweeter is based on Adam Audio’s proprietary X-ART principle, and features a slim pleated foil for the tweeter’s diaphragm for added precision and optimal quality in the high-end frequency range. The precise transient response of the X-ART tweeter ensures the best possible audio quality, retaining every nuance of the original signal for optimal transparency and audio fidelity.

Press reviews

"The A8X is a powerful link between Adam's AX Series and the formidable and more expensive SX Series. Its all-in-all homogenous tuning, the deep and precise bass as well as the brilliant mid and high-frequency reproduction make this speaker a huge recommendation for ambitious people without deep pockets."

AcouFoam 5 Studio Monitor Isolation Pads by Gear4music, Pair

Improve Your Sound For Accurate Monitoring

AcouFoam 5 Studio Monitor Isolation Pads by Gear4music, Pair, are designed to effectively isolate your studio monitor from its surrounding environment, but can also have potential other applications in a studio and home audio setting. Using a specially chosen, load bearing and absorptive foam, the studio monitor isolation pads provide safe mounting and also minimise compression over time. Decoupling your studio monitor using a layer of foam means you can reduce vibrations and lessen the effect of colouring on sound and losing sound towards the floor. As well as elevating your monitors, the included angled pad means you can potentially position your monitor in any of three ways. The freedom to experiment with positioning means you can achieve optimal sound reproduction based on your acoustics and seating position.

Features

• X-ART tweeter allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue
• Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transitions
• Excellent transient response even at high sound levels without breakup of the diaphragm
• High resolution of the stereo image
• Spacious bass reflex ports on the front allows positioning close to walls
• Low-distortion amplification at both low and high volume levels
• Simple, stepless room acoustic adjustments over tweeter gain, low and high shelf filters
• Analog XLR and RCA inputs
• Acoustically optimized cabinet geometry - reduces unwanted reflections on the cabinets
• Directional sound radiation in vertical plane - reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of desks, mixing consoles, etc.
• Easy to use volume control and on/off switch on the front
