The S5H from Adam Professional Audio is an active studio reference monitor designed for horizontal orientation in medium-sized and large control rooms. Capable of delivering 1800W RMS of cumulative amp power, it features two 10” HexaCone woofers, one 4” dome/cone hybrid midrange driver, and a handmade folded-ribbon tweeter. The waveguides, Adam-designed mid- and high-range propagation systems (MPS and HPS), ensure a wide, stable sweet spot.

Developed for transparency, the S5H’s frequency response is an impressive 22 Hz to 50 kHz. A multitude of DSP options, from equalization to delay, are provided for tailoring the monitor to the room and to personal preferences. The back panel features an OLED display and a push-button/rotary encoder to allow modification of parameters. Connect a computer to the USB Type-A jack for convenient remote access to all the S5H’s settings.

Two inputs, balanced analog and AES3 digital, are available via XLR jacks. An XLR AES3 output is provided to route digital signal to the second monitor, necessary for correct digital signal flow. Vary input sensitivity and output level as needed. Load and save voicing presets for quick configuration of monitor options. If further tonal adjustments are desired, there is a 6-band parametric EQ with high-pass and low-pass filters. Use up to 5 ms of delay for timing adjustments.

Adam S Series monitors, custom-developed with no off-the-shelf components, are handmade in Berlin according to strict manufacturing tolerances.

Q: 4. thinking of these or the F5 to replace my audioengine a5+...i've read many good things on the f5 for a desktop/personal listening setup...but are the a5x more analytic, more pro mixing focused, so not as versatile as the f5s?

A: Both the F5 and a5x are great speakers and share some similar technology, however the amplifiers, cabinet and drivers are different on the a5x and are tailored more towards studio mixing/playback. The f5 is a popular choice for a great quality and accurate desktop speaker for home listening.

Q: 9. I have a small studio/mix room (120 square feet/11 square meters). The room is acoustically treated, has a 5-foot X 6-foot ceiling cloud, and wall to wall carpet. I'm using Adam Audio A7X reference monitors. Would I be better suited using an Adam Sub 8 due to the smaller room size or the Sub10 to more closely match my A7X speakers?

A: Due to the room size, it may be more suitable to opt for the Adam Professional Audio Sub8 - 240W 8.5" Active Subwoofer as opposed to the larger Adam Professional Audio Sub10 MK2 - 200W 10" Active Subwoofer.
