ACTIVE STUDY MONITOR
The three-way S5H was conceived, as the name H suggests, to be used in a horizontal orientation and features two 10-inch extended linear excursion (ELE) woofer units, newly designed by ADAM Audio specifically for the S Series. Like the units Low Frequency ELE Present in all other members of the range, the S5H's woofers feature ADAM Audio's patented Symmetrical Assembly (SMA) that ensures low-frequency audio remains controlled and distortion-free at all times. The more important midrange frequencies are handled by the new Right ADAM Audio hybrid. This innovative 4-inch mid-frequency driver was also newly developed by ADAM Audio exclusively for the S Series and combines the sonic advantages of both cone and dome drivers into a single, unibody-mounted unit.
Along with the treble driver S-ART, the latest version of ADAM Audio’s widely respected folded ribbon tweeter, now produced to tighter tolerances than ever before, the resulting combination produces a powerful yet unchallenging sound, with a palpable sense of depth – the last word in high-resolution, natural-sounding audio reproduction.
The off-axis responses of the tweeter and midrange drivers remain extremely precise thanks to the addition of high and mid-frequency waveguides milled from solid aluminum: these are the medium and high frequency propagation systems (MPS). and ADAM Audio's newly developed HPS speakers. The resulting wide, stable dispersion ensures that multi-person crews can work simultaneously in the optimal speaker position, as is often required in larger control rooms.
The S Series' custom-designed DSP optimizes the speakers' crossover frequencies to create linear response across the entire frequency range, as well as providing user equalization and room tuning/voicing functions. DSP It also handles high-frequency driver protection via a limiter, processes signals from the AES3 digital inputs, and will eventually facilitate several expansion options. Software updates can be easily performed via the associated USB port, which also allows users to connect computers and control the speakers' DSP functions via a software control panel.
No fewer than three independent amplifiers power the speakers: a 700W Class D design for the woofers, a 300W Class D for the midrange, and a 100W Class D unit for the S-ART tweeter.
With its innovative features, advanced design, generous headroom, and enormous dynamic range, the S5H takes its rightful place as ADAM Audio's flagship reference monitor: an extraordinary loudspeaker that delivers audio reproduction to the highest standards of fidelity.
