[@gudadryckful]

How are they for gaming?

[@jas_bataille]

The evolution in speaker technology never cease to amazes me... just a few years ago I worked with Totem Acoustic, a more classic hi-fi brand. Passive radiators and a ribbon twitter, plus bi-amplification of a total of 120 watts per speaker and DSP... in this size and price point this is completely absurd to me! I don't people have any idea how ridiculous this is for 400 CAD.

[@rhizomorph-music]

Is that 400 per speaker, or for the set of 2? If it's per speaker, it's still way too expensive for the average consumer. That's an audiophile price.

[@Silent_Stillness]

@@rhizomorph-music Honestly if the quality is there, it absolutely isn't "way too expensive", remember that we're in a post inflation spike state. 400$ for a single monitor would definitely NOT be in the audiophile range. Even then, I just checked and the pricing is for the pair. Already just based on the price, things don't add up because the price is just simply too low for the product to have a reasonable chance to compete with the "serious speakers" that are out there. 3.5" Woofers seems excessively small to me. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and these puppies are complete game changers, but that would be statistically highly unlikely again considering the low price.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@@Silent_Stillness Yes, they are only available as a pair. And the sealed design with double passive radiators is truly astonishing. The frequency response is 45 Hz - 23.2 kHz at -6dB SPL. We hope you get to hear them soon. Let us know how you like them if you do! All the best, Daniel

Hi @SuryaTejSrinivas! You can have a look at the measurement data of the D3V here: www.adam-audio.com/en/desktop/d3v/ Best, Jasper

[@cirisirpula152]

These look very interesting! I guess there are no ASIO drivers available for low latency on PC via usb c?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

There is no driver needed as the USB-C input is “class compliant” which means the standard Windows and Mac drivers will work. Plug in the loudspeaker and select “ADAM Audio D3V” in the output device list and audio will be heard. The latency is negligible, but of course this also depends on the rest of the hardware that you are working with. Greetings from Berlin, Daniel

[@RababaInc]

how do these compare to the T5V for musicproduction purposes? are these more colored for "fun" listening or do they too aim for a flat frequency response?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

They differ especially in SPL, size, and portability. You don't need a dedicated interface for these for example. They have a flat response from 45 Hz - 23.2 kHz at -6dB SPL and they are made for professional applications. Of course, the convenience with USB-C makes them also great for entertainment purpose.

[@jas_bataille]

I don't think there would be a sub and I also don't think you realize the impact of passive radiator on bass extension. Those are tiny speakers for tiny rooms. It doesn't really make sense to use them if you have a sub. They're not made for that.

[@saardean4481]

@@jas_bataille most speakers are not really „made for a sub“. Almost every speaker can profit by adding a sub. 30 years ago i remember the audiophiles complaining about subs but thank God this way of thinking is long gone and Subs have proven their worth and are here to stay. You win upper bass and midrange reserves on the Satellites as their woofer is less stressed if you keep the lower bass away from them . Also you don`t need a manufacturer to provide you a matching subwoofer. This also is not rocket science. You can find one that matches any speaker if you look in this vast market that exists today. A passive radiator is simply the expensive and better brother of Bass reflex. It does not have any kind of „impact“ on low end, it simply works better than reflex ports most times. Its not rocket science.That said If you want low bass from a driver the more bass you achieve the less spl you gain. Its always a give and take. A passive radiator will not give you more spl than a normal port, you can simply sometimes easier tune it deeper than fitting a long reflex port in a speaker but thats another discussion. My two cents

i noticed that too 😆

[@richardbutler5504]

My PC speakers are aging and I'm looling to replace them. Could I connect my DAP to the DV3 by either USB-C or 4.4mm jacks with no PC connection? The speakers could then be portable to play in other rooms just using the DAP.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @richardbutler5504! Yes that's possible!

[@ashkanaref4056]

Look at those tiny cute radiators 🤤

Jez that sounds awesome! I just bought (last year) a pair of A5X + Sub 7 and actually have minimum space. So maybe I just sell them and try the D3V 🤔

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@eatchy8386 Thanks for letting us know! The D3V might be the perfect solution for you! 💪

[@lowrater]

I'm wondering if these would suit an dolby atmos setup.

[@pro.shooters]

Will this pair / work with a subwoofer?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @pro.shooters! Yes, you can use a subwoofer via the TRS inputs :)

[@pro.shooters]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thanks for the quick reply! Would you just control the crossover via the subwoofer? Or is there any way to adjust crossover with the speakers themselves? Is there a sub that you make / recommend that would pair well with it?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @pro.shooters! The crossover would need to be controlled via the subwoofer. You could use any subwoofer with them, we would recommend one like the Sub8 or the T10S: www.adam-audio.com/en/subwoofers/ Keep in mind that when using a sub, you cannot use the USB-C connection but would need an additional interface to connect them the traditional way via the TRS inputs. With the passive radiators, the D3Vs really pack a punch in the lows already, so we definitely recommend having a listen first before deciding that you need an extra sub! :) If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us! Greetings from Berlin, Jasper from ADAM

[@pro.shooters]

@ thanks Jasper appreciate the very detailed response. Will give them a try before thinking about a Sub. Just wanted to make sure it was a viable option. Would be nice on an alternate version to have a sub out cable port so you could still use the USB C cable with no interface required.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@pro.shooters Anytime! Thanks for the suggestion, we might consider that for a future product. Best greetings from Berlin :)

[@lucasj7577]

at $300 USD these seem pretty sick.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@lucasj7577 Right? 😏

[@IlSinistero]

I still have a pair of a3x Adams which are nice, unfortunately at the moment I don’t use them because of space issues on my desk

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@IlSinistero That's unfortunate, we hope you'll find a way to use them soon again! :)

[@basukisugito8929]

Is there an amplifier in each speaker?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

It's an active pair, with one monitor carrying an amplified signal to the other monitor. This way, you can control the volume for the pair with one knob. Greetings from Berlin!

[@RWL2012]

so no then, an amplifier in one speaker that powers both.

[@dustmighte]

they're way cheaper than I expected. what's the catch?

[@L77kim77l]

So one speaker just works passive?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

It's an active pair, with one monitor carrying an amplified signal to the other monitor. This way, you can control the volume for the pair with one knob. Greetings from Berlin!

[@MrAustin575]

I just went for the edifier r1850db with the t5... do i return?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@MrAustin575 Well, if you're asking us... 😏🫣

[@annebokma4637]

I don't like monitors that need connection between them, so still going for the T7V. Just wish those had the threads for stands too. Way more option for placement.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @annebokma4637, the D3Vs are mountable to standard microphone stands, which makes them very flexible in mounting :) The connection between the two speakers allows to control both speakers at once via the frontside knob of the active speaker.

[@annebokma4637]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin I know, but I still prefer your T7V. Just wish those had that same mounting option. The A7V can be mounted easier. But those aren't in my budget ... Yet 😁 If the connection is just for the controls, why not over rj45 or even better, wireless? If both speakers house their own amps that should work. Now that I have your attention, are you looking into giving the A7V network port Dante functionality? That would be awesome

[@RodrigoLana]

Great great great!❤

[@kuddygone]

I garentee they sound great, but they kinda look like the speakers that teachers used to hook up to the old box TVs
