Active Nearfield Studio Monitors with X-ART Tweeter

The Adam A8X is the most powerful monitor in the new AX line up. With its power and radiation characteristics, the Adam A8X is suitable for both nearfield and midfield monitoring. With a price per performance ratio that could hardly be better, this monitor is a perfect entry into these monitoring fields. The A8X is equipped with the X-ART tweeter and a large (8.5”) midwoofer, a combination that adds both a very deep and yet very tight bass response to the unsurpassed reproduction qualities of the ADAM proprietary tweeter.

Like the other monitors in the AX-Series, the upper corners of the Adam A8X are slanted to minimize reflections. The very large, double bass reflex tubes on the front have been specifically designed to perfectly match the midwoofer with its large voice coil.

With a 50W A/B amplifier for the tweeter and a 150W PWM amplifier for the midwoofer, the Adam A8X has power in abundance and is the brawny monitor of the AX-Series.

On the rear panel are several controls - a gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for the high and low frequencies. There are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors on the rear panel of the speaker, which allow the A8X to be used in almost any application.
