Adam Audio ADAM A8X
The A8X adds to the AX-Series as a unique model because its power and radiation characteristics allow it to be used as both a nearfield and midfield monitor. It represents a particularly attractive entry-level model for midfield monitoring which offers transparent reproduction of higher frequencies, clear mids and an excellent transient response.
The extra large, front-positioned bass reflex ports are perfectly matched with the bass/midrange driver that has a 1.5″ voice coil. Thus the A8X can play very low registers with a powerful punch, and the greatest possible precision. The 150 Watt PWM amplifier for the midrange speakers in conjunction with the 50 Watt A/B tweeter amp enable the A8X to generate impressive maximum sound pressure levels of 120dB per pair at one meter.
Features & Benefits
- X-ART tweeter, handmade in Berlin
- Allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue
- Their breakup is prevented by the folded diaphragms, distortions are effectively reduced to a minimum
- Advanced dynamic range due to acoustically effective diaphragm surface that is 2.5 times bigger (compared to a classic tweeter according to the piston principle)
- The air velocity ratio of 4:1 during the sound generation by folded X-ART membrane
- Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients
- Ultra-light but extremely dimensionally stable woofer material (Carbon/Rohacell/Glass fiber)
- Excellent transient response even at high sound levels without breakup of the diaphragm
- Vertical 2-way system with 8.5” woofer
- High resolution of the stereo image
- Spacious bass reflex ports on the front
- Bass reproduction with very low compression
- Allows positioning close to walls
- Highly efficient PWM amplifier for the woofer coupled with an A/B amplifier for X-ART tweeter
- Low-distortion amplification at both low and high volume levels
- Linear frequency response of 38 Hz to 50 kHz
- Unbiased reproduction in a very wide frequency band
- Maximum peak sound pressure per pair in 1 m ≥ 120 dB
- Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels
- Simple, stepless room acoustic adjustments over tweeter gain, low and high shelf filters
- Allows optimal adaptation to acoustically difficult listening environments
- Analog XLR and RCA inputs
- Optimized for balanced and unbalanced line signals
- Acoustically optimized cabinet geometry
- Reduction of unwanted reflections on the cabinets
- Directional sound radiation in vertical plane
- Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of, e.g. mixing consoles, desks, etc.
- Volume control and on/off switch on the front
- Very easy to use
- 2 years warranty with optional extension to 3 years with the registration of the product
- Full repair service if required for 5 years
