Price for single speaker ( x1 )

The S3V is a three-way studio monitor optimized for vertical use and designed primarily for midfield applications, although it may also be used in more compact listening environments. 

Covering the whole range of frequencies Bass frequencies from 32 Hz to 250 Hz are handled by ADAM Audio’s entirely new 9-inch Extended Linear Excursion [ELE] LF driver, which incorporates the company’s equally groundbreaking Symmetrical Magnet Assembly [SMA] and delivers a powerful, extremely accurate low end extending right down into the sub-bass region. 

Mid-range and HF information is reproduced with equally analytical precision thanks to the combination of ADAM Audio’s newly developed 4-inch DCH midrange driver and the highly refined S-ART folded-ribbon HF driver. 

A new generation of DSPs The S Series’ custom-designed DSP optimizes the loudspeaker crossovers to create linear responses for the entire range, as well as providing user equalization and in-room tuning/voicing functions. 

The DSP also handles the limiter-based high-frequency driver protection, processes the signals from the AES3 digital inputs, and will in time facilitate various expansion options.

The S3V comes across to me as an extremely high quality monitor designed primarily for the truly professional end of the recording, broadcast and film industries. It delivers the audio performance required of those markets and the attention to detail in its design, the quality of its construction, together with Adam’s commitment to support, will doubtless make the S3V a competitor to be reckoned with.

PRODUCT FEATURE	BENEFIT TO THE CUSTOMER
S-ART tweeter, handmade in Berlin and manufactured to the tightest tolerances in ADAM Audio’s history	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 S-ART membrane	Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients
Newly designed HPS waveguide, milled from a solid block of aluminum	Makes dispersion more consistent and imaging more stable over a wider area Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of, e.g. mixing consoles, desks, etc.
New midrange driver with one-piece hybrid dome/cone (DCH) design	Offering the sonic advantages of both driver types, with minimal partial resonances Partly responsible for the excellent mid-range dispersion characteristics of the S Series, due to improved integration with the treble driver
Custom-built Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass driver	Accurate audio reproduction at an extremely high resolution thanks to the precision-designed relationship between its low weight, optimized inner damping and highly rigid HexaCone membrane, in conjunction with a basket which has been developed to eliminate unwanted resonance and distortion
Custom-designed Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA)	Allows the voice coil a maximum excursion three times greater than that offered by previous designs, with an extended, symmetrical magnetic field ensuring linear, low-distortion operation Power compression effects are prevented by an intelligent self-cooling system
Vertical 3-way system with 1 x 9” woofer and 1 x 4" DCH midrange	Very 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 ICE Power amplifier for the woofer and midrange driver coupled with an A/B amplifier for S-ART tweeter	Low-distortion amplification at both low and high volume levels
Linear frequency response of 32 Hz to 50 kHz (-20 dB)	Unbiased reproduction in a wide frequency band
Maximum peak sound pressure per pair in 1 m ≥ 124 dB	Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels
Custom DSP engine	Perfect crossovers for optimal frequency response and maximum dynamic range EQ options and presets for in-room optimization Limiter-based amp protection, AES3 digital inputs and board connectors for future expansion options, together with a USB connector for software upgrades and computer-based control
Analog XLR input	Optimized for balanced line signals
Acoustically optimized and weightily constructed cabinets	Reduction of susceptibility to vibrations and unwanted edge-diffraction effect
2 years warranty with optional extension to 3 years with the registration of the product	Full repair service if required for 5 years
