Adam Audio S2V 7-Inch Powered Studio Monitor

The Adam Audio S2V Studio Monitor is a classic two-way nearfield monitor designed for use in small-to-medium-sized control rooms. The 7-inch bass driver, newly created from the ground up for the S Series, covers frequencies ranging from 35 Hz to 3 kHz and delivers a powerful, distortion-free low-end with a wide dynamic range. The carefully refined S-ART tweeter, hand-built as ever at the Adam Audio factory in Berlin, works seamlessly in tandem with the newly developed HPS waveguide, creating absolutely precise imaging within a generously proportioned sweet spot.
Output
The S2V’s compact dimensions belie its impressive power. A 300 W Class D amplifier drives the woofer while a 50 watt Class A/B unit handles the S-ART tweeter; the combined output produces SPLs of up to 120dB per pair.
Construction
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. Software updates can be carried out with ease via the associated USB port, which also allows users to connect computers and control the speakers’ DSP functions via the software front-end.
Frequency
With its highly accurate frequency response and balanced, razor-sharp imaging, the S2V allows users to pinpoint even the most subtle audio details, making it an ideal choice for use in demanding studio environments.
Future Proof Innovations State-of-the-Art Technology
Adam Audio monitors have earned a worldwide reputation as the preeminent tool for sound engineers based on technological innovations established in the field of loudspeaker technology.
ELE Bass Driver
Custom-built bass driver created specifically for the S Series, using Adam Audio's engineering design experience and the latest computer modeling techniques.
HPS Waveguide
The S-ART tweeter comprises the latest iteration of Adam’s respected folded accelerated ribbon design, produced to tighter tolerances than ever before.
High-Performance DSP Module
The high-performance DSP engine was developed especially for the S Series and implements perfectly tuned crossovers, guaranteeing optimal frequency response, and a dynamic range greater than that offered by traditional analog crossovers, with no loss of resolution.
Symmetrical Magnet Assembly
Custom-designed magnet assembly allows the voice coil a maximum excursion three times greater than that offered by previous designs, with an extended, newly developed magnet assembly in the bass driver, which Adam Audio has named the SMA (Symmetrical Magnet Assembly).
