Elevate your studio monitoring with the ADAM Audio S3H, a cutting-edge three-way midfield monitor designed for critical listening in both professional and project studio environments. Building on the legacy of the acclaimed S3 Series, the S3H combines innovative driver technology, powerful amplification, and precision DSP tuning to deliver transparent, detailed, and natural sound reproduction from 30 Hz to 50 kHz.
Key Features:
-
Handmade S-ART Tweeter: Crafted in Berlin with ultra-light folded membranes, featuring a 4:1 air velocity ratio for superior transient response and high-frequency accuracy.
-
Newly Designed HPS Waveguide: Milled from solid aluminum, ensuring precise sound dispersion and a broad, stable sweet spot.
-
Innovative Midrange Driver: One-piece Dome/Cone Hybrid (DCH) design made from carbon composite, powered by a 300W Class D amplifier, offering the tonal clarity of both dome and cone drivers.
-
Dual 7" HexaCone Woofers: Custom-built Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) drivers powered by separate 500W Class D amplifiers for deep, distortion-free bass down to 30 Hz.
-
Spacious Front Bass Reflex Ports: Optimized for smooth low-frequency extension and reduced cabinet resonance.
-
Robust Four-Channel Amplification: Highly efficient PWM amplifiers for woofers and midrange, complemented by a 50W Class A/B amplifier for the tweeter.
-
Comprehensive DSP Engine: Enables linear crossover optimization, parametric EQ, room compensation, limiter-based driver protection, delay adjustment, and five user presets, with a factory preset emulating the classic ADAM S3A response.
-
Versatile Connectivity: Balanced analog XLR and digital AES3 inputs support professional signal integration with a high input impedance of 48 kΩ and max input level of +24 dBu.
-
Solid, Acoustically Optimized Cabinet: Heavily constructed MDF enclosure designed to minimize vibrations and enhance sonic clarity.
