Adam A8H-L Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)

General

The new range of Adam monitors are another cream-of-the-crop batch, and relatively affordable, too. While a high-end studio monitor is never going to come cheap, forking out for the right model can definitely be worth it depending on your demands and ambitions. Packing premium quality, this top-of-the-line Adam A-Series model claims a spot in between the T-Series and S-Series studio monitors. The Adam A8H is available in a left and a right model; this is the left model.

Features of the Adam A8H

The A8H has a three-way design consisting of an 8" woofer, a 3.5" mid-woofer and, of course, Adam's famed ribbon tweeter. The massive audio image shaped by this configuration allows you to carefully assess the fattest, densest and biggest mixes for film scores and smashing pop productions. Even an advanced, network-compatible DSP comes built in to help you perfect the sound, finishing one of the most professional bits of studio kit going. If you've got serious audio-focussed ambitions, this thing deserves a spot on your short-list.

Sonarworks

Not even the most expensive studio monitor can deliver truly honest audio if the acoustics of the room aren't up to snuff. Luckily, the Adam A8H 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 argument to invest in the Adam A-Series.
