The ADAM Audio S3V is an active vertical 3-way studio monitor intended for midfield applications. Despite its relatively compact footprint, the S3V delivers the power and accuracy professional engineers demand of a precision reference-grade monitor; reproducing high-resolution, full-bandwidth audio with stunning clarity. Engineered in Berlin to the strictest tolerances, ADAM's 3rd-generation S series monitors feature cutting-edge technology, including new Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) woofer and DCH midrange driver designs as well as the S-ART tweeter — an updated, even more precise version of ADAM’s acclaimed accelerated ribbon design. With its ruler-flat 32Hz–50kHz frequency range, ultra-wide and stable stereo imaging, powerful PWM ICE tri-amplification, and ultra-low distortion, the ADAM Audio S3V provides world-class monitoring you can trust, session after session.
