Adam Audio S2V 7 Inch High End Precision 230 Watt 35 Hz to 50 kHz Studio Monitors with HPS Waveguide

The Adam Audio S2V Studio Monitors is a classic two-way nearfield monitor designed for use in small-to-medium-sized control rooms. The 7-inch bass driver, newly created from the ground up for the S Series, covers frequencies ranging from 35 Hz to 3 kHz and delivers a powerful, distortion-free low-end with a wide dynamic range. The carefully refined S-ART tweeter, hand-built as ever at the Adam Audio factory in Berlin, works seamlessly in tandem with the newly developed HPS waveguide, creating absolutely precise imaging within a generously proportioned sweet spot.

Output

The S2V’s compact dimensions belie its impressive power. A 300 W Class D amplifier drives the woofer while a 50 watt Class A/B unit handles the S-ART tweeter; the combined output produces SPLs of up to 120dB per pair.

Construction

The S Series’ custom-designed DSP optimizes the loudspeaker crossovers to create linear responses for the entire range, as well as providing user equalization and in-room tuning voicing functions. The DSP also handles the limiter-based high-frequency driver protection, processes the signals from the AES3 digital inputs, and will in time facilitate various expansion options. Software updates can be carried out with ease via the associated USB port, which also allows users to connect computers and control the speakers’ DSP functions via the software front-end.

Frequency

With its highly accurate frequency response and balanced, razor-sharp imaging, the S2V allows users to pinpoint even the most subtle audio details, making it an ideal choice for use in demanding studio environments.

Future Proof Innovations State-of-the-Art Technology

Adam Audio monitors have earned a worldwide reputation as the preeminent tool for sound engineers based on technological innovations established in the field of loudspeaker technology.

ELE Bass Driver

Custom-built bass driver created specifically for the S Series, using Adam Audio's engineering design experience and the latest computer modeling techniques.

HPS Waveguide

The S-ART tweeter comprises the latest iteration of Adam’s respected folded accelerated ribbon design, produced to tighter tolerances than ever before.

High-Performance DSP Module

The high-performance DSP engine was developed especially for the S Series and implements perfectly tuned crossovers, guaranteeing optimal frequency response, and a dynamic range greater than that offered by traditional analog crossovers, with no loss of resolution.

Symmetrical Magnet Assembly

Custom-designed magnet assembly allows the voice coil a maximum excursion three times greater than that offered by previous designs, with an extended, newly developed magnet assembly in the bass driver, which Adam Audio has named the SMA (Symmetrical Magnet Assembly).

S Series Amplifiers

The S Series low- and mid-range drivers are powered by Class-D ICE power amps, specially developed low-noise 50W Class A/B amp that powers the S-ART on S2 and S3.

S Series Bass Reflex System

The S Series bass reflex tubes have been aerodynamically redesigned with optimal rounding to minimize signal losses and coloration due to air friction and turbulence, especially at the front-panel ports, and incorporate additional anti-resonance technology in their port designs to keep pipe-related tonal coloration to a minimum.

S Series Cabinets

S Series cabinets are weightily constructed from thick, heavy material to reduce susceptibility to vibrations, while their rounded edges help to minimize unwanted resonance and coloration, even at high listening levels.

S-Art Tweeter

All the models in the S Series employ the latest iteration of Adam's world-famous X-ART tweeter, each handmade in Berlin, Germany.
