The S3H from Adam Professional Audio is an active studio reference monitor designed for horizontal orientation in medium-sized and smaller control rooms. Capable of delivering 1350W RMS of cumulative amp power, it features two 7a€? HexaCone woofers, one 4a€? 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 S3Ha€™s frequency response is an impressive 32 Hz a€“ 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 S3Ha€™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.

Adam Professional Audio Sub15 -15 1000w Subwoofer
The Adam Audio Sub15 -15 1000 W Subwoofer is designed for studio mixing and home theater applications. The unit utilizes a 1000W PWM amplifier, a 100mm voice coil, and a two magnet assembly to drive a single 15 rigid aluminum membrane woofer from 20 to 150 Hz at a maximum SPL of 112 dB as measured from one meter. The cabinet features a downward firing bass port. For controls, the subwoofer includes a variable -60 to +6 dB volume control and an adjustable low-pass crossover frequency control from 50 to 150 Hz.
For inputs, the sub features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors. For outputs the unit features a balanced XLR sub output for connecting to a second sub, as well as balanced stereo XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs for connecting to a set of satellite speakers. An 85 Hz high pass filter switch can be engaged to integrate the sub with the satellite speakers. For surround sound integration, the subwoofer includes a 0° & or 180° & reverse phase switch.
