This range of active monitor loudspeakers from ADAM Audio have been designed for use in home or professional studios, although are increasingly used in surround or Dolby Atmos systems. This range of monitors has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty with an option to extend for an additional 3 years via product registration.
A4V 2-way, 4-inch woofer
Designed for smaller studio spaces with shorter listening distances, ADAM Audio A4V is an active monitor with a maximum SPL of 100dB at 1m. This two-way speaker incorporates a 4-inch long-throw woofer made from Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibres, along with a rotatable X-ART tweeter. A frequency range of 53Hz to 42kHz at -6dB allows a 'full-bodied' sound, and the onboard DSP-based electronics allow greater tuning capabilities to enable the user to setup for their unique space.
The D class amplification for the 25mm (1-inch) voice coil of the woofer has an RMS of 110watts, whilst the dedicated AB type midrange/tweeter amp produces 20watts RMS. The crossover frequency is set at 3kHz. The rear facing panel of the monitor has four bands of room adaptation equalization, including Bass, Desk, Presence and Treble. Each band is adjustable in predefined steps to help compensate for the typical acoustic problems that arise from speaker placement. 'Voicing' control allows pre-defined sound profiles, including 'UNR' - a uniform natural response; and 'Pure' - a 'highly accurate' neutral sound. The 'Ext' option is dedicated to the extended functionality that comes with A Control via the Ethernet connection. Using A Control’s six-band EQ, a custom voicing and be created and pushed to the monitor.
Analogue input is by way of single balanced 3-pin XLR connection or single unbalanced RCA (phono). Level is controlled by a rotary controller ranging from -12dB to +12dB. Power input, which is switched, is by way of IEC AC mains connector.
Frequency response: 53Hz to 42kHz, -6dB. AC input voltage: 100-240V, 50/60Hz. Dimensions (HxWxD): 268 x 158 x 220mm. Weight: 5.8kg.
A44H 2-way, 2x 4-inch woofer
This monitor has a width of 19-inches and can therefore be mounted on a standard rack shelf, below a display, or on standard monitor stands. In a 3D speaker configuration the monitor is also commonly used as the centre speaker. ADAM Audio A44V is an active monitor with a maximum SPL of 103dB at 1m. This two-way speaker incorporates 2x 4-inch long-throw woofers made from Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibres, along with a rotatable X-ART tweeter. A frequency range of 46Hz to 45kHz at -6dB and 49Hz to 41kHz at -3dB, allows similar performance characteristics are the A7V.
The D class amplification for the 25mm (1-inch) voice coil of the woofer has an RMS of 110watts, whilst the dedicated AB type midrange/tweeter amp produces 20watts RMS. The crossover frequency is set at 2.4kHz. The rear facing panel of the monitor has four bands of room adaptation equalization, including Bass, Desk, Presence and Treble. Each band is adjustable in predefined steps to help compensate for the typical acoustic problems that arise from speaker placement. 'Voicing' control allows pre-defined sound profiles, including 'UNR' - a uniform natural response; and 'Pure' - a 'highly accurate' neutral sound.

Frequency response: 46Hz to 45kHz, -6dB. AC input voltage: 100-240V, 50/60Hz. Dimensions (HxWxD): 135 x 432 x 350mm. Weight: 9.7kg.
A7V 2-way, 7-inch woofer
A7V is a 2-way monitor with 7-inch woofer along with a handmade, rotatable X-ART tweeter. The active monitor with a maximum SPL of 105dB at 1m and a frequency range of 44Hz to 41kHz at -3dB and 40Hz to 45kHz at -6dB.
The D class amplification for the 33mm voice coil of the woofer has an RMS of 110watts, whilst the dedicated AB type midrange/tweeter amp produces 20watts RMS. The crossover frequency is set at 2.8kHz. The rear facing panel of the monitor has four bands of room adaptation equalization, including Bass, Desk, Presence and Treble. Each band is adjustable in predefined steps to help compensate for the typical acoustic problems that arise from speaker placement.

A77H 3-way, 2x 7-inch woofer
Like A44H, A77H has dual woofers and has been designed for horizontal placement, however A77H incorporates 2x 7-inch woofers and is described as a 'true three-way midfield monitor' that delivers a 'rich, spacious, and enveloping sound'. The dual 7-inch woofers are joined by a single 3.5-inch midrange driver with 33mm diameter voice coil, and a rotatable X-ART tweeter. The 3-way monitor is driven by a 250W RMS low frequency amplifier, 70W RMS midrange amplifier, and 20W RMS high frequency amplifier for the tweeter; to produce a frequency response of 37Hz to 41kHz at -3dB, and 34Hz to 45kHz at -6dB with crossover frequencies fixed at 400Hz and 3kHz. The LF amplifier is Class D, and the midrange and HF amplifiers are AB type.
