S Series Reference Monitoring for Your Studio
The ADAM Audio S5H is an active horizontal 3-way main monitor intended for medium-to-large control rooms. The S5H delivers the power and accuracy professional engineers demand from a precision reference-grade monitor; reproducing high-resolution, full-bandwidth audio with stunning clarity. Engineered in Berlin to the strictest tolerances, ADAM’s 3rd-generation S series monitors feature cutting-edge technology, including new Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) woofer and DCH midrange driver designs as well as the S-ART tweeter — an updated, even more precise version of ADAM’s acclaimed accelerated ribbon design. With its astounding, ruler-flat 22Hz–50kHz frequency range, ultra-wide and stable stereo imaging, powerful PWM ICE tri-amplification, and ultra-low distortion, the ADAM Audio S5H provides world-class monitoring you can trust, session after session.
The drivers in ADAM Audio’s S series monitor speakers benefit from years of in-house research and development and take advantage of the latest advances in technology and materials science. Newly developed for the S series, ADAM’s Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass drivers employ the Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA) to deliver optimized low-frequency reproduction with extended dynamic range and freedom from coloration. The ELE driver incorporates a rigid, yet low-mass honeycomb driver cone; a highly efficient, self-cooling linear magnet assembly; linear suspension and damping systems with a low-loss speaker surround; a vented symmetrical voice coil; and an optimized driver chassis/basket design. The S5H’s two 10″ woofers extend response down to 22Hz, making the speaker suitable as a main monitor in medium-to-large control rooms, without the use of a subwoofer.
Both the DCH midrange driver and the S-ART tweeter benefit from ADAM Audio’s proprietary waveguide technology, which increased the accuracy of the drivers’ off-axis responses. Milled from solid aluminum, the newly developed Midrange and High-frequency Propagation Systems (MPS and HPS) help deliver stable, wide-ranging dispersion that makes it possible for production teams of two or more people to work in the stereo or multi-channel sweet spot simultaneously — a common occurrence in larger control rooms.
With decades of experience in designing professional sound systems for recording and broadcast studios and venues of all sizes, understands that under-powering is never an option. Control room main monitors such as the S5H need authoritative power, and ADAM Audio obliges with a powerful proprietary 1,100-watt PWM ICE Power tri-amplification system. A 700W Class D amplifier drives both of the S5V’s bass units, with additional 300W and 100W Class D amps dedicated to the DCH midrange and S-ART treble drivers, respectively. Combining the no-compromise precision of ADAM Audio’s custom drivers with the company’s custom amplification, the S5H is a reference monitor designed for discerning audio professionals and mission-critical applications.
S series monitors were designed without compromise to be high-precision professional reference monitors that flawlessly reproduce any signal presented to their inputs. You can expect outstanding transparency, dynamic response, and flexibility in placement and operation — and an open, natural, and non-fatiguing sonic presentation that will continue to please your ears and allow you to effortlessly make wise decisions throughout lengthy recording and mixing sessions. ADAM Audio’s substantial cabinet construction is scientifically designed to minimize undesirable vibrations and their attendant coloration, while its rounded edges reduce diffraction distortion. Generous mathematically sculpted bass reflex ports on the front baffle help deliver bass reproduction with very low compression and allow positioning close to walls.
From its 1999 launch in Berlin, ADAM Audio has built a solid reputation among the pro audio cognoscente. A superior speaker system has superior components, and this is one area where the company has a distinct edge. With years of R&D behind each proprietary driver, ADAM Audio’s custom driver technology expresses itself in breakthroughs such as their X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter, which is based on a groundbreaking 1960s invention, the Heil Air Motion Transformer — and in fact, was the main impetus for the formation of ADAM Audio. The X-ART tweeter became the key to ADAM’s signature transparent, high-definition sound; and the core development of ADAM’s proprietary designs going forward.
