ADAM Audio was founded in March 1999 in Berlin. Since then the company has been developing, manufacturing and distributing loudspeakers in the field of Professional Audio.
The development of the X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter based on the 1960’s invention of the Air Motion Transformer by Oskar Heil was largely responsible for the company’s founding. Producing sound not with a piston-like diaphragm as is done in most of the loudspeakers that are on the market, but using a pleated diaphragm that is capable of moving the air 4 times faster than the folds themselves are moving was the appealing idea behind it all. The achieved results were intriguing and gave ample reason for moving forward.

Adam Audio really reshaped my understanding of value in studio monitors and speakers. I've had several pairs- ARTist 5, T7V, and A7X. I'm so glad I found these early on as it really set the benchmark. The T series are really game-changers in their price range.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi there and thanks a lot for your kind words, much appreciated!

[@mohamedahmed1023]

@@davidhrzenjak First, have you ever owned high-end studio monitors? Or used digital room correction software, treatment, etc? If I'm being honest, the A7Xs are a bit better in the low-end (they are faster and have more definition/texture) but that doesn't warrant the price increase in my mind. The improved low-end of the A7X definitely doesn't matter if you're using a subwoofer (which is necessary for full range sound). My recommendation is to get a pair of Adam T5V and pair it with a good sealed subwoofer (some good brands are SVS and Martin Logan) and use SonarWorks, REW +EqualizerAPO (or MiniDSP) to room correct. Don't bother getting a sub from a studio monitor brand like Adam or Genelec - they're overpriced for what they offer.

[@PaulIsbell]

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@Wavpon3 Hi! Great question... you will get quite a bit more low-end extension with the 8" woofer from the T8Vs.. The tweeter also extends further than dome tweeters in this range of monitors, leading to less ear fatigue and clearer treble overall. Ultimately though, we hope that you get a chance to listen to these first-hand though for yourself as we are biased to our own brand 😉

@fu J they used to be in a 10sqm home studio, now in my new flat, I have a 7sqm high ceiling room for them. It's tiny, but I treated the room with bass traps, acoustic panels on the walls and ceiling. The monitors sit on pretty basic foam pads, and the desk is centered in the middle of a long wall (3,5meters long). They still sound amazing and reliable!

[@Writtenmirror]

Having read all the comments and responses, Adam is not playing around. Full transparency and a new product for the audio creative on a budget. I still would like to know this, given the impressive range of this new speaker in the low end does it still require a subwoofer or is that merely for full range comfort? I've never owned a pair of studio monitors but I want to upgrade my home studio I've been mixing and even mastering purely on headphones. My latest single came out yesterday 'Wicked Fly' and again most of that work went in at home. I need to hear what an engineer/producer in a studio would hear. I also create and score film so it needs to be versatile. Finally I'm not rich so it needs to not break the bank lol. Yesterday was my birthday too btw 👌🏾

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi, thank you for watching & happy birthday! With the T8V, we would suggest that a subwoofer is not necessary and it isn't required. A subwoofer isn't necessarily required for the T7V either, but some individuals need that extra extension. We'd suggest just getting monitors for the time being and, if after awhile, you find yourself still wanting that deeper low-end to go for a sub, but for most, these will do wonderfully without. Hope that helps!

[@Writtenmirror]

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi @DiegoMartinez-pu6bg! Thanks for your question. This really depends on your needs. If you're a DJ and you'd really like to have a heavy low end, adding a sub to your T8Vs is perfectly fine. Also keep in mind that, by using a subwoofer, the Monitors are being relieved from having to play the lowest frequencies up to the crossover frequency, so the monitors can focus on reproducing the mid- and high-frequencies of the signal resulting in a higher resolution. I hope this helped you out, greetings from Berlin!

[@MrStealfos]

Great products! What would be recommended the most? 2x 5inch monitor + the 10 inch sub OR 2x 8inch monitor without sub, and why? I'm curious if the 8's with their frequency are meant to replace a sub. Thanks!

[@estoon]

I'm thinking about T7V or T8V for EDM production. Does T8V have same headroom, stereo sound and frequency response like T7V?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

The T8V actually has more headroom & SPL (118dB) as well as a deeper low-end extension (33 Hz) in the frequency response. Both monitors utilize our waveguide technology and ART tweeters so you get the same wide sweet spot with low-distortion high end up to 25 kHz. It depends on your room size & dimensions, but for EDM, we'd have to give the suggestion to the T8V so you can make sure you hear that ultra low-end kick & bass.

[@henrybrant-z4l]

To test my new T8V's I have the same source going to both the RCA and XLR inputs. The source is a mixer with dual line level outputs. I notice the volume is significantly higher when the switch is on RCA and I've read that others are observing this too. Is there a reason for it?

Mine are ordered too. But your post is months old. So, how do you feel about them ?

[@harryblischke1913]

It's my first set of monitors, and I'm using them for my fledgling home theater setup. They're not an ideal room setup. I sit about 2-3 feet further back than I should be. I have a bare wall behind me. The speakers aren't far enough away from the wall behind them for a rear port (according to internet wisdom). They are connected to my TV via a custom made 3.5mm jack to XLR Left and right that is wired as single-end because of reasons. Not an ideal room or setup by any stretch. And they sound pretty damned awesome. I don't listen to bass heavy music, but I play Beat Saber, and they certainly deliver the lows. They are about 6-7' to the left and right of my TV and the sound seems like it comes right from the TV, even if I sit way off axis. I'm happy with them.

[@almazsafiullin9846]

Hi! I'm planning on buying some T7V/NEW T8V or A7X monitors. So, the issue I'm concerned about is whether I'm potentially wasting money putting the A7X monitors into a thoroughly undesirable room? There is no chance of me being able to treat the room in my current house :(

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi Almaz, as you already know, your room is just as important as your monitors... ultimately, if you really need studio monitors but can't treat your room in any way, I'd suggest smaller monitors like the T5 or A5X for now to not overpower your room. The other option is you get the monitors and just make sure to listen low as to not excite the room as well until you are in a space that allows for room treatment. Hope that makes sense & helps. If you have any other questions just let us know!

[@Writtenmirror]

A7X will have a better crossover delivery. You should be able to hear better at lower levels on it in theory. Why can't you treat your room? Sound blankets and bass traps not an option?

[@dk2428]

Looking to Replace my aging Event TR8's... I find most (affordable) monitors really lacking in bass accuracy and/or being hard on the ears. I'm in a 40m² room with lots of glass (not ideal, i know).

I have a small square bedroom, 13 square meters to be exact.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi, we appreciate you watching and commenting! Regarding your room treatment question, we always urge people to spend just as much time and energy on treating their room as choosing the right monitors... as they both are the most important factors in a studio, so yes we would definitely suggest treating it as much as you can and we have many videos on studio acoustics, design etc and many more to come. As far as persuading you to purchase the T8Vs over HS8s, it's a difficult thing to do without listening to them side by side. We are obviously partial to the T8Vs, but both are good choices for home production. Our T8Vs do, however, go lower than the HS8s and are more 'pleasing' to the ears while still being just as accurate with our accelerated ribbon technology (which we also have in-depth videos on). Again, we hope that you can listen to them side by side as that is the definite selling point.

It's a good rule of thumb to have absorption (more than just foam... typically insulation) behind your monitors and at the first reflection points in your room with diffusion in the back. Obviously not always the case and people work with much different setups, but something to keep in mind and it applies to both front and rear ported monitors. Hope that helps!

Hi good question! While the optimal mixing position is that distance, you might not always be the only one in that room.

Hi, Looking for a bit of advice? I bought a single JBL 308P MKII a couple of months back, but because of the considerable price hike that's going on with distributors I'm looking to marry up my JBL with an Adam T8V. Wondering what your thoughts are on this?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Apologies for the delay, but that sounds like a lot of low-end with 2 8" woofer monitors. If you are looking for another reference monitor, we'd suggest something smaller like the T5V so that you get reproduction on a smaller system, giving you a better overall feel for translation. Hope this helps!

[@mvsmsx]

@Adam Audio: are there plans (even if just in the conceptional phase) for a T-series three-way monitor? E.g. 8+4+ribbon, or perhaps even bigger: 10+5+ribbon...? Also: can ribbons be part of a coaxial system, like having 8+(4+R)?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

We are always looking to innovate all of our monitor series, but cannot speak to a three-way at this time. And yes, ART can be a part of a coaxial design!

[@Idontwantausernamist]

I have the T7V which I absolutely love, paired with a monitor sub-woofer as I do lots of bass and low end. So the low frequencies are taken care of already I think and the 1" larger driver of the T8 would not provide much more but as I occasionally use the setup for small parties, would it make sense to upgrade to the T8V just for the extra loudness over the T7? (110 vs 118db) Thanks

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

As much as we'd like to help, this seems like a subjective question for that scenario. We do support the choice for good speakers at parties and yes you will get significantly more SPL out of the T8Vs... whether or not your party guests will notice, we can't be for sure 😉

[@pantonal]

So am I to understand that the front-facing low frequency ports on the AX series offer no advantage over rear-facing, if the speaker isn’t put against the wall?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

One aspect to consider is the phase alignment between all the speaker’s sound sources... With a port next to the woofer, the relative distance offset between you and the port vs you and the woofer varies only by a tiny amount when changing your listening position. This stable relationship makes for an optimal addition of the sound portions coming from the woofer and the port at most listening angles. A rear ported design will be more sensitive in terms of bass addition when going extremely off axis. That being said, this is a pretty academic argument that you might be able to measure in an anechoic chamber but it’s nothing that will affect many users having their speaker oriented properly. Also, front facing ports allow for soffit mounting. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any further questions!

I want to have the level know +10 or more in some cases, this is ok for my speakers?, And i'm thinking of getting the Τ10s or Adam Sub 7 what would you suggest (in the back of my mind I have to get the AX5 in the future so that's the idea for Adam Sub 7 )

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi yes, that +10dB level is just fine... and for the subwoofer situation, that's a tough one. We'd suggest the T10s if it will be awhile before you upgrade your monitoring... if you are looking to upgrade to the A5Xs in the near future, we'd look at the Sub8 actually as that is SPL matched and performs most accurately with the A5Xs.

[@kostasvoutsas8762]

​@@ADAMAudioBerlin thank you very much. I'll go then with t10s I'm sure it will be a very good choice.

[@Guzlee]

Wie sind die Speaker vom Bass her? Reicht es aus zum zu Hause electro aufzulegen? Oder sollte da ein Subwoofer her? Wären wahrscheinlich was für mich 😃

[@ivanfsgbg8291]

I just wonder if they’re gonna sound as pleasant as the t5v’s. People say they sound impecable and the t7v’s sound disappointing if you’ve heard the t5v’s, because the t5v’s sound good to listen to, while the t7v’s sound flat. I want something to mix on and for content consumption, and maybe ocasional light gaming sessions. I wonder if these can cover all categories, by sounding pleasant yet accurate

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

You'll have to find a way to hear for yourself 👍

[@substance90]

Would you recommend upgrading my T7Vs to this model or supplementing them with an Adam Sub 8?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

For the T7V, we'd suggest adding on the T10s instead of the Sub8!

[@substance90]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin I see. What about T7V with T10s vs just two T8Vs for a small studio?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@@substance90 For smaller studios, we suggest the T10s with either T5V or T7V... It gives you more room to play with the acoustics of your room as the T8Vs on their own may be a bit too large, both sonically exciting your room and ergonomically with perfecting speaker placement in a small space.

[@substance90]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thanks!

[@funks5807]

im a little confused, they have almost the same specs as the a77x, what s the difference between the two? the mid range i suppose?

[@SpedeFace]

Will these perform well on low volume, or do they need more volume to sound good?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi SpedeFace, the ADAM Audio T8Vs will also perform well on low volume. You should definitely try them out at a local retailer. :)

[@markusrayan]

Currently own the T7V's and T10S. Strongly considering replacing both with the T8V. Are the T8Vs a good alternative to replacing both T7V + T10S considering it's crucial that the low end extension remains the same (producing House, Drum'n Bass, UK Bass, Garage etc.)? Is the overall tonality of the T8V similar to the T7V? While the T7V are really good and have liked them a lot the T10S is a difficult sub to recommend. It lacks crucial adjustments to make it work properly (fully variable crossover freq. and phase). I feel the crossover freq. (85hz) is too high for the T7V. They have more than enough headroom to go lower than 85hz. But the real problem with the T10S is the really short standby delay and it takes way too long after a signal is sensed that it actually starts outputting sound. This is also accompanied with a really annoying pop. This really takes me out of my flow when producing. I really don't want to wait for my sub to turn on every time I step out of the studio and come back.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi! We're sorry the T10s is not working for your current setup, but we can assure you that the T8V would be a great choice, giving you accurate, deep low-end information for the genres you mentioned above. We hope when they're available that you can try the T8V out for yourself from a dealer/distributor before you purchase to hear how they work in your room. Good question and if you have any others don't hesitate to reach out.

[@markusrayan]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin Thank you for your reply! Great to see a company actually have customer service. Well done! Will be sure to give the T8Vs a test. They seem very good for the money 👍 Also regarding the rear firing port: I agree that for the low end frequencies it does not make a huge difference if the speaker is rear ported or not. What does have an effect is the lower midrange and upper bass that bleeds out from the reflex port (clearly audible midrange output if you put your ear near the port). If your room is not properly treated behind the speakers this can bounce off the walls and colour the sound (boomy upper bass, weird phase issues in the midrange). I'm using Sonarworks DSP with T7V+T10s and it does mostly fix these issues but would be nice to not have to rely on a software fix for a hardware issue. Thank you again!

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Juhamatti We agree! Room acoustics & treatment should be taken just as seriously as monitor choice and having absorption behind your monitors is ideal. And for many smaller, untreated rooms, it's best to have smaller monitors so the speakers aren't exciting your room & walls too much... Sonarworks helps immensely but room treatment should come first. Cheers 👍

Hey Adam! meine neuen T5V sind vor 3 Tagen angekommen. Weil mein Raum nur wenig behandelt ist und ich Angst um die Nachbarn hatte, dachte ich dass diese Monitore eine gute Lösung sind. Nun ist mir das Low-End doch ein wenig mau, da ich vorwiegend elektronische Musik und Hip-Hop produzieren möchte. Nun die Frage: was ist aus klanglicher Sicht in einem großeren wenig behandelten Raum eher zu empfehlen: T5V + T10S Subwoofer oder ein Paar T8V?

[@lucasgirke2725]

Stehe vor der gleichen Entscheidung ;)

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hey @Paypaul Wir würden den T5V mit dem T10S vorschlagen, weil dieses System mehr SPL, mehr Tiefgang und mehr Möglichkeiten zur Anpassung an deine Raumakustik bietet als ein Pärchen T8V. Das bedeutet jedoch eine etwas größere Gesamtinvestition, aber du könntest die T5V behalten ...

My Studio have 15 square meter do you recommend the T8V or T7V? It's necessary to add a Sub?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Either the T7V/T10s Sub or the T8Vs alone would work great. For home studio setups, we usually suggest the 2.1 system as it allows for a bit more flexibility when it comes to placement and calibration with your room's acoustics.

I'm confused, I want to buy the ax7 or these T8v. Which one is best?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

The A7X is by far our most well-known monitor out there right now. It's a reliable mix workhorse and bats well above it's league as far as the price-point. Though the T8V is is a great, accurate monitor, the AX Series ultimately has better components, but comes at a cost increase. It's all a balancing act and depends on many factors. We wish you could test them out for yourself at a dealer, but sadly, that's not possible at this current time. Great question and if you have more, don't hesitate to contact us.

Hi! I am looking to upgrade my Yamaha HS7. I have always been interested in upgrading to ADAM Audio. I was looking at the A7X but now I am not sure which would suit me better (A7X or T7V). I use my monitors mainly to curate music for my TY channel (and mixing/mastering but not so often). I live in Ireland and there are no stores where I could test/compare them against my Yamaha or even between your two models. Is there any kind of guidance you can provide to help me go for an educated decision? Thanks in advance.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

Hi! Great question... While we absolutely love the T7Vs, the A7Xs are definitely a step-up in quality due to higher-end & higher-tested components, however if your budget doesn't allow for the A7Xs, the T7Vs (in our opinion) would also be a step up from the HS7s... extremely clear without being harsh. Biggest deciding factor is your budget! Hope that helps...

Hi Mohinder, one of the main benefits of the T8V is the U-ART tweeter. You can find more information on our website: www.adam-audio.com/en/t-series/t8v/. You should really try to compare both speakers at a local retailer and try to find out what suits you best! 👍

Better install the speakers aprox. 30cm off the wall and mount an acoustic panel too!

If you have that option, yes! It's always good to put absorption behind your monitoring.

How are they compared to the Adam A7X?

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

The T8V has more bass extension, but like all our T Series monitors, are not engineered to the same degree as the AX Series. The A7X extends further in the high-end and is overall constructed with higher-end components. Both wonderful choices, and it mostly comes down to your personal budget & room size. Cheers 👍

[@ridgero]

ADAM Audio Thank you very much for your answer! I have the Adam A7X and I am not satisfied with the bass. I don’t want to spend so much money on a Sub 10. I am not sure if I can incorporate a T10S Sub

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@@ridgero Hi! You can definitely utilize the T10s subwoofer with your A7Xs, however the A7Xs can overpower the T10S' SPL making it more difficult to calibrate. If you choose the T10s, it may just take a bit more precise room placement, or eventually, look into a dual-subwoofer system to make sure you've got the most accurate low-end for your monitoring setup.

[@JustUploads]

I have the T7V-s, and they sound incredible for the price. The DSP delivers "magic" which really is a new era in a price range this low. However, I absolutely hate the hiss coming through the tweeters from it's class D amplifier. I can't enjoy all of the fine detail the tweeters could produce due to it's high noise floor. Now I know this isn't a rare symptom for entry level monitors, but still something should be stated and must be worked on to eliminate.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

We're happy you're enjoying your T7Vs! And yes, the challenge with this market of monitors is making sure we have the highest fidelity while also combatting noise floor, distortion etc. We are always looking for new ways to improve and we take this symptom into consideration 👍

[@JustUploads]

@@ADAMAudioBerlin I mean, when I first listened to a pair at the local store, the stereo separation blew me away, compared to other nearfields (even positioned a bit higher). Incredibly well done. The outstanding frequency respones is also noteworthy, although it became slightly more common since the spread of DSPs. I know the hiss doesn't even bother everyone (see forum people arguing over each other whether a model has a "hiss" or not...), but I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who cosiders this parameter extremely important.

[@ADAMAudioBerlin]

@@JustUploads As I'm sure you know the stereo separation is due in large part to our distortion-free tweeter technology and the waveguide we have implemented into the T Series. We appreciate you choosing ADAM Audio as we know there are so many options out there when it comes to budget-friendly monitoring, and we'll continue to hone our technology to lower the noise floor.
