The A7V | How to Position and Equalize A Series Monitors Correctly | ADAM Audio

[@krtza]

Can we see more about Sonarworks integration please? 🙃 Also is there auto sleep function?

[@manvince]

I'm very curious to learn more about the A control software integration with sonaworks. I think it's a brilliant idea because it will solve many issues like latency. So I've been searching around to see this integration in action but I can't find any meaningful domenstration of it 6months after launch.

[@hybrid11theory75]

Love the studio furniture. Who makes this?

If you don’t have Sonarworks how do you even correctly and evenly set these only with your ears? Do you have specific reference track to use?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Leiki! Reference tracks are a very personal thing. You have to find some tracks that work for you and become very familiar with them to use them as reference tracks. Better is to measure the loudspeaker using Room EQ Wizard or some other measurement software and then adjust the response as needed using the backplate controls or advance mode in A Control. Then use the reference tracks to confirm you did the right EQing.

When are these coming out ?

[@moonlik1795]

Any chance to see a futur update with a auto sleep function?

[@WhiskyTanuki]

Can you show a comparison between the A7V and A44H? Since they are priced very similarly I wonder which application favors which monitors!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi there! Indeed they both are very similar in terms of price and frequency range. The main difference is the from. The new A44H has this low profile and it can be adapted to special places that the A7V wouldn't fit.

[@WhiskyTanuki]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Can we get an A7X compared to A7V video perhaps? Perhaps even include the T7V? I have the A7V on order, and owned the T7V before, very curious!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi there! thanks for the suggestion! we take note of it and will have it on mind for the next videos! Cheers!

[@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252]

Thanks. Very helpful.

[@mikepaynt4436]

Do we have an update as to when these speakers will be on the market in the UK?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Mike! The 2 ways speakers from the new A Series are arriving everywhere this month. Feel free to contact your closer dealer and ask them if they already have the first units ;)

[@samchoate1719]

Hey there, will running sonar works on these speakers introduce latency like sonarworks systemwide does? I’d like to be able to record with a custom curve loaded. Thank you!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Sam! Sonarworks as a plug-in has a long latency because it uses FIR filters. The A Series uses an FIR to IIR conversion which Sonarworks calculates for us, and this type of filter has no latency. A Series loudspeakers have a very short latency (

[@samchoate1719]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin That's awesome. I''ll be seriously considering this system in the near future. Congrats on the great tech!

[@WhiskyTanuki]

Would using a subwoofer affect how the embedded Sonarworks calibration go with a Sub? I assume there will eventually be a video guide showing the new A series embedded calibration with Sonarworks for 2.0 and 2.1 setups?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi WhiskyTanuki! For a system with a subwoofer, calibrate the loudspeakers using Sonarworks. Next, bring the subwoofer into the system in the normal way and adjust the level and phase as needed so the subwoofer integrates nicely into the system.

[@paulmcgee6506]

Would the A7V model be too much for a room size of 2.8 m x 2.2m? Would I be better with the A4V for this size of room?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Paul! the bigger the room, the bigger the monitor. For a room like yours, the A4Vs would work great ;)

[@jellebolijn]

What are the frequencies the backplate eq's work at?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi there! Depending on the model and the control, the frequencies can be different. You can see the shape of the backplate filters in the response graphs which will be published in September :)

[@ralzy1067]

Hi thank you for the video, would these monitors be suitable for a home studio size 16ft x14ft?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Ralzy, yes, absolutely! All the best, Angelo.

[@ralzy1067]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thank you so much for your reply and help.

[@bvtsu.]

A really great feature 🤩

[@Koxocw]

So I’m considering getting these but I think my home studio room maybe too small? It’s about 2.5metre x 1.7metre

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Koxo! The A7V might be a bit too much for that room. Probably the A4V will be a better match!

[@DrNoize]

What kind of subwoofer would be ideal for a Dolby Atmos set 7.1.4? So far planning to go for Left-Right A8H, Center A44H, Surrounds 4x A4V and Overheads 4x A4V. I would like a DSP subwoofer version of the Sub12/15.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Dr.Noize! Unfortunately, we don't have a DSP Subwoofer, yet! But definitely, those two (Sub12 and Sub15) would be a great match for that system! Unless you want even more power and want to go for our big boy, the Sub2100!

[@davidfatal7538]

Wish i could afford them, it's my dream 🥲 buying T7V this week instead

[@daryldaryl887]

Do they have regular active speakers? I mean for regular listening, not nearfield? I don't want a speaker that won't work from a distance. What is good? What do you reccommend?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Daryl! do you mean PA active speakers? Our monitors are active speakers and we have different nearfield and midfield models. But we don't have PA systems if that's what you mean. :)

[@daryldaryl887]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin No. I mean active speakers that are designed to listen to at about any distance. I have the Swan M5A currently, something like that. They have 8 inch woofers and sound great at all distances. I'm looking for a bit more power than the Swan M5A.

[@daryldaryl887]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Like a regular home speaker, but Active.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Daryl! Our monitors are designed to be studio monitors, but you can also use them for other purposes. In this video, we talk about it and explain how to set them up for Hifi listening: bit.ly/3wn8JBs You definitely can find powerful monitors in our catalog. www.adam-audio.com/en/

[@ptpoul]

@@daryldaryl887 Their old range Adam Artist was just that. I have their entire surround set at home. Sounds pretty good esp compared to "hifi speakers". If you use thier professional products for hifi, they work super well. They will be revealing though.

[@ZakarooNetwork]

What about the remote?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi ZakarooNetwork! The A Control is almost ready and our programmers are finalising and perfecting the last details. We hope it will be ready for download this month. We will email all registered A Series users as soon as the software is available in the MyADAM user area. We are looking forward to sharing the good news with all of you. Thanks for the patience!

[@_ciupitu]

why are most speakers cut below 50-40 Hz ? Why isn't it 20 Hz ?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi aenimatek! In theory, a tweeter can play down to 20 Hz but in practice, it will not play loud enough to be audible. To have sufficient bass level to be useful, one needs bass drivers mounted in a cabinet. The size of the bass driver and the cabinet limit how deep a loudspeaker plan play. Additionally, if you want to play loud at low frequencies large bass drivers and cabinets are needed. This is why subwoofers are usually used to get down to 30 Hz and lower.

[@fredEVOIX]

not an audio pro at all but I heard it also has to do with room size and treatment that makes very low frequencies not work right also as an ex car audio person to get super low Hz well we had car trunk sized cabinets with extremely large woofers for a reason you won't get that in a small monitor

[@benicioprod]

BRO WHY IS THE POWER BUTTON ON THE BACK NOW 🤦‍♂️

[@dgregory4178]

Yeah, I hate that! This is stopping me from upgrading actually.

[@godsonlamy782]

I bought the A5x last week jeez

[@tuneunleashed]

lol this is even worst than the last series.

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

I need help... I was debating between the T7V and the A7X because price difference wasn't too bad.... big but not too bad. And I noticed they are now discountinued. So, for someone staring his home recording system and getting his first pair of monitors... are the A7V's overkill being that they are twice the price? Would I really benefit of the $1000 difference or would the T7V's be more then enough?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Joey! In addition to the A Series being a higher quality product range in all areas, these are quite different products in that the A Series is networked controlled. The new implemented technologies make the A Series be way better than the T one. This doesn't mean that the T Series is a bad series. Indeed, if you are starting in this music industry world, the T series would be ideal.

[@Joey.Darkwoods-Studio]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thanks a lot guys... I have spent approx 6 months searching for my first monitors now. I was debating between your brand, the Yamaha and Kali's. And I finally made my decision with Adam's, I've been drawn to your products from the start. All sound tests I ear and the reviews on the Adams are to my liking. But most stores in my area don't have them in stock so I can't hear them. Makes things harder trying to document this also for my starting channel!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Joey! here you can find authorized retailers and distributors in your area via the dealer finder on our website: www.adam-audio.com/en/find-a-dealer/. You probably can test them in some of the dealers next to you. :)

[@dgregory4178]

Sorry late to the party. I bought the T7v's and a short time later picked up the A5x's used. The latter are far better. The T7v are good but the A5x sound was almost holographic. Mind you, I use a sub with a high pass to the monitors so no comparison to the bass range between the two.
