ADAM's best-selling monitor speakers with folded ribbon tweeter technology at a project studio price.
The A7 powered studio monitor, ADAM's best-selling and award-winning powered monitor, combines a high-frequency,
transient-friendly A.R.T. ribbon tweeter with an innovative, state-of-the-art 6.5" woofer. The result is an extremely accurate
monitor with all the clarity, detail and spectacular imaging traditionally associated with the ADAM name — but at a
price that makes the speaker accessible to nearly all home and project studios.
The ADAM A7 monitor speakers are powered
by two 50W RMS amps (one per driver). The front panel sports both a power switch and volume control. The rear panel houses
controls for tweeter level and two shelving filters for high and low frequencies. The ADAM A7 speakers also feature both balanced
(XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input connectors, allowing it to be used in almost any audio application.
Accelerated
Ribbon Technology
The A.R.T. (Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeters and midrange units take a completely new approach in kinematics to move
air and improve the quality of music reproduction. Based on the original works of Dr. Oskar Heil, who invented his "Air Motion
Transformer" back in 1972, electroacoustic transducers have been developed that are based on improved layouts and new materials.
The membrane consists of a lamella-like folded diaphragm whose single folds move according to the alternate current, thus
squeezing air in and out. All other loudspeaker drive units, whether they are voice coil driven, electrostatics, piezos or
magnetostatics, act like a piston, moving air in a 1:1 ratio. This is undesirable, as the specific weight of air is much lower
than that of the driving mechanics. Speaking in terms of electrical engineering one could say there is a bad match between
source and load. The A.R.T. principle achieves a 4:1 velocity transformation between driving diaphragm and driven air, i.
e. the air moves in and out four times faster than the folds itself are moving. This superior "motor" is responsible for the
enormous clarity and transient reproduction that is to be heard from the A.R.T. drive units.
A.R.T. tweeters are superior
in musical clarity and transient reproduction. They have an above average efficiency of ~93 dB/W/m, a perfectly linear impedance
of 3.2 ± 0.05 Ohms, an equally perfect phase response of ± 1° within the used bandwidth, a reasonable directivity
characteristic and thermal power handling that exceeds that of 1" domes by a factor of 2 to 3. Summed up, here is a completely
new transducer that has no weaknesses in terms of operation, compatibility, reliability or other electroacoustic specifications.
Looking back into loudspeaker history you will not find anything comparable.
