ADAM Audio A8X Powered Monitors Overview:

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
