Features & Benefits
Product Feature | Benefit to the customer |
---|---|
X-ART tweeter, handmade in Berlin | – Allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue – Their breakup is prevented by the folded diaphragms, distortions are effectively reduced to a minimum – Advanced dynamic range due to acoustically effective diaphragm surface that is 2.5 times bigger (compared to a classic tweeter according to the piston principle) |
The air velocity ratio of 4:1 during the sound generation by folded X-ART membrane | Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients |
Ultra-light but extremely dimensionally stable woofer material (Carbon/Rohacell/Glass fiber) | Excellent transient response even at high sound levels without breakup of the diaphragm |
Vertical 2-way system with 5” woofer | High resolution of the stereo image |
Highly efficient PWM amplifier for the woofer coupled with an A/B amplifier for X-ART tweeter | Low-distortion amplification at both low and high volume levels |
Linear frequency response of 50 Hz to 50 kHz | Unbiased reproduction in a wide frequency band |
Maximum peak sound pressure per pair in 1 m ≥ 110 dB | Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels |
Simple, stepless room acoustic adjustments over tweeter gain, low and high shelf filters | Allows optimal adaptation to acoustically difficult listening environments or individual preferences |
Stereolink function (Cinch cable contained in the delivery contents) | Simple and symmetric volume control on the front panel |
Analog XLR, RCA and mini jack as well as digital USB inputs | Great connectivity |
Directional sound radiation in vertical plane | Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of, e.g. mixing consoles, desks, etc. |
Volume control and on/off switch on the front | Very easy to use |
Compact cabinet dimensions | Fits every desktop |
Easily mounted on walls with original ADAM Audio wall mount (optional) | Space saving positioning at any height |
