Audio professionals in need of a high-quality nearfield monitor will be impressed with the black Adam Professional Audio A7V, a professional, 7" 2-way studio monitor speaker that delivers rich, spacious, and enveloping sound.

A 110W RMS Class-D amplifier powers the 7" Multilayer Mineral (MLM) woofer, while a 20W Class A/B amplifier drives the X-ART tweeter with HPS waveguide to provide an ultrawide frequency range (40 Hz to 45 kHz). The rotatable High-Frequency Propagation System (HPS) waveguide technology and onboard DSP allow you position the monitor either horizontally or vertically, while fine-tuning the speaker to your precise requirements.

• ADAM Audio HPS (high-frequency propagation system) waveguide technology enables tweeters to disperse sound with controlled consistency, broad in the horizontal axis but tightly focused on the vertical plane. The A Series introduces a rotatable HPS waveguide design. You can shift A Series tweeters in 90-degree steps to continue to benefit from HPS waveguide technology whether you position the speakers horizontally or vertically.
• The A Series HPS Waveguide is made from a new glass-fiber polymer compound that helps create a clear sound, free of unwanted resonance. The ADAM Audio X-ART tweeter is at the heart of the rotatable HPS waveguide. Handmade in Germany, the X-ART tweeter provides a precise transient response and reproduces the finest sonic details. This X-ART tweeter is used in every A Series speaker, providing a detailed and consistent sound across the product line. 

A Series woofers are constructed with a unique blend of mineral stone fibers that have been baked together to create a lightweight but highly stable material. The mineral composition, layering, and geometry of each cone is specific to the driver used in each model. By combining this material with a new magnet system, A Series woofers produce high output with low distortion, delivering a clean low end.

• The A Series combines the best of both digital and analog worlds. The woofer is driven by a Class-D amplifier that helps produce linear performance while reducing distortion. The amplifier was chosen specifically for its power and efficiency, in terms of both energy consumption and sound reproduction. Low thermal dissipation allows for a smaller heat sink, which facilitates additional investment in the exceptional power and performance of the A Series.
• The tweeter is powered by a Class-AB amplifier, which offers a smooth natural reproduction of high frequencies. Each amplifier is optimized for its working range, resulting in a fine-tuned, properly aligned speaker. To reach this point, ADAM Audio carried out extensive measurements and listening sessions, trialing countless amplifiers and amplifier components.

The A Series capitalizes on the transformative power of DSP-based electronics to provide greater tuning precision and better predictability than analog-only speakers. With firmware that can be updated through an Ethernet connection, over time you can expect to integrate the latest DSP-based capabilities from ADAM Audio-including new filter types and features, plus alternative voicings.

On the back panel of A Series speakers, you will find four bands of room adaptation equalization: Bass, Desk, Presence, and Treble. Each band is adjustable in predefined steps, offering more than 100 tuning options to help compensate for the typical acoustic problems that arise from speaker placement.

• A Voicing is a predefined sound profile of the A Series monitors. On the back panel, you will find two different selections, UNR and Pure. Here you will also find the Ext option, which is dedicated to the extended functionality that comes with A Control via the Ethernet connection. 
• UNR or Uniform Natural Response is a dynamic natural-sounding response curve of ADAM Audio’s own design, which stems from a variety of iconic ADAM Audio legacy products, including the preceding AX Series. It lends itself to production, composition, and song writing, as its engaging and present sound can give you more room for creativity and flow. It is also a great option whenever you want to use your speakers simply to enjoy some good music. 
• Pure is a highly accurate and neutral sounding option. This is the flat setting, ideal for mixing and mastering, where you must be aware of all the details and rely on an honest representation from your speakers. 
• The Ext option is dedicated to the extended functionality that comes with A Control (real-time remote control) via the Ethernet connection. Using A Control’s six-band EQ, a custom voicing can be created and pushed to the monitor. 

• The DSP-based functionality of all A Series monitors can be controlled remotely and in real time over Ethernet using the free to download A Control software. A Control is available to download for Windows and MacOS in the MyADAM area of www.adam-audio.com, for customers who have registered their A Series monitors.
• Once downloaded and installed, you can control multiple speakers at once, precisely adjusting equalization and delay settings from various listening positions in your studio space. While you work, you can remotely control monitor levels if you’re far from a fader or physical interface. Remote-control capabilities are particularly useful in multipurpose rooms, allowing you to make sure that voicing, EQ, and other settings are all exactly how you want them. 

A Series speakers are designed to be adaptable to changing requirements, preferences, and environments. Using the A Control software, you can push advanced filters directly to an embedded platform onboard the monitors to help compensate for imperfect room acoustics. This embedded platform supports filters from industry leading third-party Sonarworks. Using Sonarworks software and a measurement mic, you can calibrate your speakers for a new room or shifting taste.

The new A Series cabinets build on the heritage of ADAM Audio and the AX Series. In an evolutionary design, A Series cabinets have deeper beveling to further reduce diffraction. In addition, thicker baffle walls strengthen the cabinets and reduce internal vibrations, while a flared port design optimizes airflow and reduces port noise. All A Series speakers include an underside mounting interface, giving you the flexibility to mount them wherever you need them.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I have the Yamaha HS5s with mopads. Will these stands hold them both size wise? Thanks

A: Easily. Ive got a pair of HS8s on mine and they fit perfectly.

Q: 2. with two of the bottom legs against the wall how far out from the wall would the third leg not against the wall be ?

A: The spread, or distance between one leg an the next is 23", so if you have two legs against a wall, the distance from the third leg to the point on the wall in the middle of the first two legs is just under 20".

Q: 3. What would be a good way to wall mount these? Is there a hole in the bottom?

A: The JBL 305P MkII Studio Monitors do not have a pole-mount socket on the bottom, but they can be wall-mounted with brackets such as the Mount-It! MI-SB37 Universal Speaker Wall Mounts - Pair (B&H # MOMISB37).

Q: 4. Will these maintain sound quality if placed on their side tweeter to tweeter. I have limited space.?

A: The ELAC Debut ConneX DCB41 Two-Way Active Bookshelf Speakers (Black Ash, Pair), BH # ELDCB41BK, may be placed on their sides, but will sound best with wider high-end dispersion when oriented vertically.

Q: 5. What are the dimensions of the base? Specifically, what is its height.

A: Using the carpet spikes, the top of the base sits 2 inches off the top of the carpet. If you're using the plastic feet on a wood or concrete floor, it might sit a 1/4 inch lower. The shape of the base is an equilateral triangle with a height of 15 inches. The length of each side of the triangle is 17.25 inches. The vertical post is 1.5 inches in diameter. The post, however, is NOT centered on the base (front to back). The space between the back of the post and the back of the base is 4 inches. The space between the front of the post and the front of the base is 9.5 inches (4 + 1.5 + 9.5 = 15). I found these dimensions important as I needed the stand to go between the back of a desk and a wall without the desk having to be too far away from the wall.

Q: 6. Can you tell me if the legs fold up? Thanks

A: No, but they can be taken off by unscrewing them.

Q: 7. Do the rubber tips come off the feet? I assume they do as I think says they also come with spikes for carpet, but I,m wanting to fill the three legs with sand, and reason this can’t work?

A: The rubber tips are removable.

Q: 8. Since these speakers come with a preamp, is it ok to connect a turntable that also has a preamp?

A: It would not be an issue to connect the Klipsch The Nines 2-Way Active Wireless Bookshelf Speakers (Walnut, Pair) BH #KLNINESWN with a turntable that has a pre-amp.

Q: 9. will the legs fit under a couch. how thick are the legs?

A: The steel tubing for the legs is approximately 1.5" thick and around 2" at the ends with the rubber feet included. Whether or not it would fit under a couch depends on the amount of space between your floor and the bottom of the couch.

Q: 10. How many height positions are drilled into the pole. Illustration only shows one. How high will the platform go and still lock into place?

A: There are six predrilled holes, allowing for the height of the speaker stands to be adjusted in 3-inch intervals, starting at 36-inches and going up to as high as 54 inches
