Rated 5 out of 5

Absolutely amazing monitors

I've always chosen (relatively) large floor-standing sealed enclosures for my main listening area. A few years ago I downsized to eliminate the pre-amp processor and now use an O**o player, M**z power amplifier, with 25 ft. speaker cables, and HSU sub with good results. I decided to audition the Adam monitors and was amazed with the results. Using unbalanced cables I got significant hum at high monitor gain. Balanced cables eliminated this issue and I have wonderful imaging and excellent transient response. Rolling off the A77X at 60 Hz and bringing in the sub makes it even better.

The A77X is a horizontally designed monitor that combines all of the technical innovations in the AX-Series. Due to its powerful, compression-free sound reproduction and excellent radiation characteristics, it is suitable both for nearfield and midfield monitoring.

The special feature of the A77X is its 2 1/2-way system. Both 7" woofers start to work together at 38 Hz and at 400 Hz one woofer fades out and only the second woofer continues to operate in the midrange up to 3 kHz. This prevents interferences and possible phase cancellation in the critical midrange. Even though frequency transitions and potential distortions lie outside these areas, the human ear is particularly sensitive to midrange frequencies.

Especially noteworthy in the A77X is the extremely wide stereo foundation and brilliant stereo imaging. Treble and mids are reproduced with three-dimensional realism and the lows are, as expected from a double woofer design, massive without compromising on precision.

Features & Benefits

X-ART tweeter, handmade in Berlin
• Allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue
• Their breakup is prevented by the folded diaphragms, distortions are effectively reduced to a minimum
• Advanced dynamic range due to acoustically effective diaphragm surface that is 2.5 times bigger (compared to a classic tweeter according to the piston principle)

The air velocity ratio of 4:1 during the sound generation by folded X-ART membrane
• Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients

In-phase, simultaneous operation of the woofers below 400 Hz
• Dry, unstrained reproduction of the low-range
• Critical center area is played by a single driver without interference

Ultra-light but extremely dimensionally stable woofer material (Carbon/Rohacell/Glass fiber)
• Excellent transient response even at high sound levels without breakup of the diaphragm

Unique, horizontal 2.5-way system with 2 x 7" woofers
• Very high resolution of the stereo image and extremely wide stereo base

Spacious bass reflex ports on the front
• Bass reproduction with very low compression
• Allows positioning close to walls

Highly efficient PWM amplifier for the woofer coupled with an A/B amplifier for X-ART tweeter
• Low-distortion amplification at both low and high volume levels

Linear frequency response of 38 Hz to 50 kHz
• Unbiased reproduction in a very wide frequency band

Maximum Peak sound pressure per pair in 1 m >= 122 dB
• Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels

Simple, stepless room acoustic adjustments over tweeter gain, low and high shelf filters
• Allows optimal adaptation to acoustically difficult listening environments

Analog XLR and RCA inputs
• Optimized for balanced and unbalanced line signals

Acoustically optimized cabinet geometry
• Reduction of unwanted reflections on the cabinets

Directional sound radiation in vertical plane
• Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of, e.g. mixing consoles, desks, etc

Volume control and on/off switch on the front
• Very easy to use

Suitable for both near- and mid-field applications
• Enough headroom for different studio environments
