Studio monitoring accuracy has made great strides during this millennium, and industry leader ADAM Audio is at the forefront of these exciting technological advances. The company’s monitors have emerged as fixtures in world-class control rooms, commercial recording facilities, and home studios. Now, the ADAM Audio D3V brings that expertise to desktop monitoring systems. Designed for musicians, producers, and music lovers who want quality sound in a convenient, compact form factor, the D3V features ADAM Audio’s renowned D-ART accelerated-ribbon tweeter, a 3.5-inch woofer, and two passive radiators per channel, bi-amplified through a state-of-the-art crossover system. Flaunting ADAM Audio’s smart German industrial design, D3V speakers lend an elegant, professional look to any desktop setup, into which they integrate smoothly via TRS and UCB-C connectivity. A complete package that includes two monitors, angled stands, desktop pads, cables, and adaptors, the ADAM Audio D3V is an outstanding value in high-quality desktop monitoring.

<h3>ADAM Audio’s acclaimed D-ART Tweeter</h3>
The ribbon tweeter used in the D3V benefits from a quarter century of research. Instead of producing sound with a piston-like diaphragm like most loudspeakers, ADAM Audio’s D-ART accelerated-ribbon tweeter uses a pleated diaphragm that prevents distortion by moving air four times faster than the folds themselves are moving. Built to the tightest tolerances, the D-ART tweeter delivers ultra-low distortion and extends the frequency range up to 22.5kHz, enriching the soundfield with stunning detail and faithfully conveying every nuance of the source material so you can monitor over long periods without listening fatigue. Matched left and right tweeters are each driven by a 40-watt amplifier in a fully integrated crossover system managed by highly accurate DSP (which also facilitates the D3V’s highly effective room-acoustics optimization).
<h3>Aluminum woofer with ferrite magnet system</h3>
The D3V’s 3.5-inch aluminum woofer delivers a truly impressive bass response for a loudspeaker of this size. Driven by an 80-watt amplifier and augmented by two 3.5-inch stainless-steel passive radiators (one on each side), this proprietary driver features a special ferrite magnet structure that enables the D3V to deliver frequencies down to 45Hz, reproduced with remarkable tightness and definition. Optimized using ADAM Audio’s cutting-edge Klippel measurement system, the woofer’s symmetrical voice coil and ferrite magnet system help to minimize distortion while providing a linear motor mechanism. The woofer’s one-piece concave cone is comprised of thick, ridged aluminum with a long linear excursion range that delivers uncolored sound even at high output levels.
<h3>ADAM Audio: elevating the state of the art</h3>
From its 1999 launch in Berlin, ADAM Audio has built a solid reputation among the pro audio cognoscente. The engineers know that a superior speaker system has superior components, and this is one area where ADAM Audio has a distinct edge. With years of R&amp;D behind each proprietary driver, the company’s custom driver technology expresses itself in breakthroughs such as the X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter, which is based on a groundbreaking 1960s invention, the Heil Air Motion Transformer — and in fact, the main impetus for the formation of ADAM Audio. The X-ART tweeter and its variants are key to ADAM Audio’s signature transparent, high-definition sound and the core development of its proprietary designs going forward.

Embracing, exploiting, and working with modern materials has allowed ADAM Audio to formulate loudspeaker components that continually elevate the state of the art in studio monitor design. Materials such as rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm foils have increased reliability, enhanced performance, and made possible new driver geometry. As compared with conventional driver technology, the company’s drivers deliver optimized radiation characteristics, lower distortion, and higher efficiency. Along with installations in a growing number of top studios, ADAM Audio’s monitor range has garnered rave reviews from audio experts and recording engineers worldwide. If you’re considering an upgrade to world-class monitoring, you’ll be in good company with ADAM Audio monitors.
