Review Summary
2018-01-05T21:55:06
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
