Adam A7V Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)

General

If you have the space to accommodate it, a studio monitor equipped with a 7-inch woofer like the A7V provides a serious dose of lows, not to mention sonic depth. Made by Adam, who cater to the entry-level range with their popular T-Series monitors and serve up the high-end S-Series for professionals, this new A-Series monitor offers the best of both worlds: it outperforms the T-Series models, and it's a lot more affordable when compared to Adam's S-Series studio monitors.

Features of the Adam A7V

The Adam A7V covers an ultra-wide frequency range that spans 41 Hertz down below to an imposing 42 kHz up top. While we might not be able to hear the highest frequencies, the ones that can be picked up by human hearing are tightened up by a ribbon tweeter teamed up with a DSP chip for even more accurate sound reproduction. After all, a flat response and neutral sound is what matters the most when you're mixing. While it still doesn't come cheap for any producer on a budget, this studio monitor is definitely destined for success.

Sonarworks

Not even the most expensive studio monitor can deliver truly honest audio if the acoustics of the room aren't up to snuff. Fortunately, the Adam A7V also features a built-in Sonarworks filter which can be combined with the highly praised Sonarworks software and a measurement microphone (not included) to analyse the listening space and draw up a custom graphic EQ based on the measurements to compensate for any suboptimal acoustics. That EQ comes in the form of a DAW effect, or in this case a custom Sonarworks profile that can be uploaded to the monitor to prepare it for flawless performance anywhere - another supreme argument to invest in the Adam A-Series.
