Adam Audio S5H: The Pinnacle of Studio Monitoring
The Adam Audio S5H is a paramount main monitor, meticulously crafted for the most demanding rigors of reference listening in expansive studios and control rooms worldwide. This three-way horizontal monitor integrates advanced technology and design to deliver an audio experience that meets the highest standards of fidelity, making it an ideal choice for audio professionals in large-scale studio environments.
Exceptional Low-Frequency Performance
At the core of the S5H are two 10-inch Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass drivers, custom-designed by ADAM Audio specifically for the S Series. These drivers feature the innovative Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA), ensuring low-frequency sounds remain tightly controlled and distortion-free. This superior bass performance is vital for accurate audio reproduction in professional settings.
Innovative Mid-Range and High-Frequency Technology
Handling the crucial mid-range frequencies is ADAM Audio's new hybrid DCH, a 4-inch mid-frequency driver that merges the benefits of cone and dome drivers into a unified unit. The S-ART treble driver, known for its high-resolution and natural-sounding audio reproduction, works in tandem with this mid-range driver to produce a powerful yet unfatiguing sound with a real sense of depth.
Advanced Waveguide Systems for Accurate Dispersion
The S5H incorporates ADAM Audio's newly developed Mid-range and High-frequency Propagation Systems (MPS and HPS), waveguides milled from solid aluminum. These ensure accurate off-axis responses from the treble and mid drivers, providing a stable, wide-ranging dispersion. This feature is particularly beneficial in larger control rooms where multiple people need to work within the loudspeakers' sweet spot simultaneously.
Cutting-Edge DSP for Optimal Sound
The custom-designed DSP of the S Series plays a pivotal role in optimizing loudspeaker crossovers for linear responses across the entire frequency range. It also provides user equalization, in-room tuning, and high-frequency driver protection, along with processing AES3 digital input signals.
Powerful Amplification for Dynamic Range
The S5H is powered by three separate amplifiers: a 700 W Class D design for the bass drivers, a 300 W Class D for the mid-range, and a 100 W Class D unit for the S-ART tweeter. This arrangement ensures generous headroom and an enormous dynamic range, essential for high-fidelity audio reproduction.
