ADAM AUDIO S5V Active main/mid-field loudspeaker / 3-way / 12" woofer
ADAM Audio's ELE (Extended Linear Excursion) bass drivers and SMA (Symmetrical Magnet Assembly) technology were developed specifically for the S Series. The S5V's 12-inch woofer fully benefits from these innovations, delivering unmatched reproduction in terms of accuracy, dynamic range, and freedom from coloration.
The 4-inch DCH midrange driver, with its unique hybrid (dome/cone) construction, reproduces critical midrange information with extreme precision. The S-ART folded-ribbon tweeter, handmade in Berlin to ultra-tight tolerances, delivers breathtaking highs while revealing the soundstage in its finest details.
Off-axis accuracy of the mid and high transducers is ensured by waveguides milled from solid aluminum, developed by ADAM Audio: the MPS (midrange) and HPS (high-frequency) propagation systems. This stable, wide dispersion allows multiple users to work simultaneously in the sweet spot, which is often essential in large control rooms.
The custom S Series DSP optimizes crossover filters for linear response across the entire bandwidth, and also provides user EQ options along with calibration and voicing settings tailored to room acoustics. It also manages tweeter protection via a limiter, handles digital signals via the AES3 inputs, and will be compatible with future expansions. Software updates are easily performed via the USB port, which also lets you connect a computer to control DSP functions using a dedicated interface.
Amplification in the S5V relies on three Class D modules:
700 W for the woofer,
300 W for the DCH midrange,
100 W for the S-ART tweeter.
Combining the legendary precision of ADAM Audio’s in-house transducers with the power of ADAM Audio amplification systems, the S5V stands out as a reference monitor for the most demanding professionals operating in large, highly technical listening environments.
