S2X

The S2X brings together the virtues of the ʽclassicalʼ 7” woofer and tweeter combination by using ADAM innovative technologies and top-class materials.

The HexaCone 7” woofer is driven by a sophisticated magnet system with a 2” voice coil creating a greater linear excursion. This produces more dynamics than one would assume in a monitor of such small proportions. As a result, in addition to the unsurpassed audio quality of the X-ART and A/B amplifier combination, this monitor surprises the listener with a very powerful, deep, but always tight and precise low end.

Review at a glance: "Sonic sensation“

“The ADAM Audio S2X can convince in all areas, concerning the sound as well as the workmanship, and are worth every Euro. […] a no-compromise tool for all who mean serious business, whether in music or postproductions.” (www.96kHz.de, 03/2010)

“We started off with a classical string quartet recording and let´s just say right away that the S2Xs floored us. Several adjectives spring to mind [...] - wide open, transparent, effortless, breathtaking realistic, loud, dynamic, involving... [...] If you close your eyes and continue listening, the S2Xs seem to ‚disappearʽ almost entirely. [...] you gradually become less aware that you´re listening to speakers because they´re like an open window on the music itself. [...] Result: These monitors are up there with the best we´ve tried so far.” (MusicTech, 01/2010)

Main Monitors: S6X & S7A Mk2

The main monitors S6X and S7A Mk2 are designed for large control rooms and film studios. They present a completely new, impressive
concept: to transport the unique realism of the ADAM monitors at a very high SPL level. In accordance with ADAMʼs main goal to achieve the best possible authenticity in music reproduction, any overemphasis of the bass frequencies should be avoided. Furthermore, it is essential for neutral sound characteristics at high volumes to achieve a wide dispersion in the horizontal plane and a somewhat narrower dispersion in the vertical plane, thus reducing reflections from the ceiling, the floor or a mixing console. Less reflection means superior imaging and better localization, facilitating the best possible transportability of mixes across the widest range of playback systems.

Advanced DʽAppolito-array

The arrangement of the seven discrete drivers facilitates a gradual transition of the chassis dimensions. One of the most important aspects of these monitorʼs new approach is the horizontal symmetry of the drivers, which could be referred to as advanced D´Appolito array. If the drivers are filtered properly there are – besides the dispersion characteristics mentioned previously – two more advantageous results:

• There is an absence of any sudden change in directivity with frequency, leading to harmonic dispersion behavior throughout the audio band. The absence of sudden changes in directivity is not visible in a frequency plot, but clearly audible - especially with a full range of materials, from single complex sources such as the human voice to the wide sonic palette of large orchestras.
• The dynamic capabilities of the monitor are distributed over the audio band more equally, and louder recording or mixdown sessions with SPL´s of 120dB are handled without offending the ear.

Impulse Coupling

In order to get a precise and undistorted reproduction, all drive units are mounted on an ultra stiff Aluminum honeycomb plate (=IC).

Amplifiers

Both the S6X and the S7A Mk2 ADAM use the new generation of switching amps and power supplies (=PWM).

These are combined in an extremely powerful (1000 and 1500W rms respectively) yet cool amplifier assembly. Together with the built in overload protection circuits these amplifiers will run reliably and at constant safe operating temperatures not possible with conventional designs.

The amplifiers are of extremely low output impedance, leading to a damping factor >4.000, enabling them to strictly control the motion of the drive units.

The S6X: accuracy and power

The S6X is one of the most ambitious studio monitors available today. They can be found in some of the highest profile studios in the industry, from elite private studios to world class jazz, from rock and orchestral tracking and mixing facilities to high powered hip hop production rooms. The concept of the horizontal symmetry of the drivers is greatly affected by the generous proportions of the larger diaphragms, resulting in both exceptionally flat frequency response and extremely realistic dynamic reproduction across the entire audio spectrum. Numerous controls at the front panel allow detailed adaptations to different acoustic environments.

This main monitor offers very high accuracy and power in sheer abundance. SPL peaks beyond 120 dB are produced without any compression or harshness. The S6X is a top shelf choice for larger control rooms and film or sound studios.

Control panel (S6X & S7A Mk2)

Numerous controls on the front panel introduce a new degree of control for main monitors. Along with the input gain, there are level controls for each of the four drivers, shelving filters on both ends of the frequency spectrum, and three full parametric EQs (20-200Hz) that can be used to combat standing waves in the control room. The EQ can be bypassed individually or as a group so that their overall effect can be analyzed in direct comparison to the unaffected signal.

In large film score mixing rooms, it may be desirable to have a representation of the sound in the theatres. To meet the ISO 2969 Standard, the Dolby™ X-curve has to be applied.

Using pink noise, the X-curve engages a 3 dB per octave roll-off above 2 kHz. Both the S6X and S7A Mk2 have a switch that activates this filter, eliminating the need for external processing during the film mix.

A second switchable input on the front allows servicing without moving the unit.

All LED indicators can be dimmed if necessary.

Audio monitoring precision is lifted to an entirely new level of accuracy with the introduction of the 8250A bi-amplified DSP monitoring system. Boasting performance comparable to much larger systems, the compact and powerful 8250A package is ideal in applications where a wide frequency response is needed but space is limited.

The 8250A is the ideal monitoring tool for recording studios, post-production houses, broadcast installations, digital edit suites, home studios and mobile production vehicles.

The 8250A builds on the rock-solid technology of the highly-acclaimed 8050A, featuring an ingenious, flow optimized, reflex port that provides solid, clear and articulated low frequencies without compression, distortion or port noises.
