Before you make your choice, consider the A8H Horizontal 8" 340W Powered Active 3-Way Studio Monitor, the crowning achievement of the A Series. This professional-grade, high-quality speaker is designed to deliver the precise, analytical sound necessary for critical listening environments.
The A8H is equipped with an 8-inch resonant Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fiber woofer, an innovative midrange driver, and a handmade precision X-ART tweeter. These components work in harmony to produce an ultra-wide frequency response, ensuring the most detailed representation of your audio.
This powerful studio monitor stands out with its rotatable HPS waveguide technology and onboard DSP, offering you tremendous flexibility for fine-tuning your sound. It's designed to excel across a full range of audio applications, making it an ideal choice for mid- to full-sized spaces.
The A8H is more than just a speaker; it's a testament to ADAM Audio's innovative approach to loudspeaker technology. It features a new glass fiber polymer compound HPS waveguide that enables the X-ART tweeter to disperse sound with controlled consistency.
The A8H also boasts a Bass Reflex System, new A Series cabinets that build on the heritage of ADAM Audio and the AX Series, and a hybrid amplification system that combines the best of digital and analog worlds.
The monitor's DSP-based functionality can be controlled remotely and in real time over ethernet using A Control. It also offers automated room correction with Sonarworks, running directly on the DSP of A Series monitors.
The A8H's midrange drivers deliver clean sound in the critical part of the frequency range where humans are especially sensitive to sound coloration. On the back panel, you'll find two different sound profile selections, "UNR" and "Pure", along with four bands of room adaptation equalization: Bass, Desk, Presence, and Treble.
In conclusion, the A8H Horizontal 8" 340W Powered Active 3-Way Studio Monitor is a durable, reliable, and powerful audio solution that offers unparalleled sound quality and flexibility.
Room Correction & Sonarworks Integration
A Series speakers are designed to be adaptable to changing requirements, preferences, and environments. Using the A Control software, you can push advanced filters directly to an embedded platform onboard the monitors to help compensate for imperfect room acoustics. This embedded platform supports filters from industry leading third-party Sonarworks. Using Sonarworks software and a measurement mic, you can calibrate your speakers for a new room or shifting taste.
