Engineered for the most demanding professional environments, the ADAM Audio S5H sets a new standard in main studio monitoring. This flagship model in the S Series delivers reference-grade accuracy, unmatched low-end response, and an ultra-wide frequency range — making it the ideal solution for large control rooms, mastering suites, and high-end production studios.
Key Features:
-
S-ART Tweeter – Handmade in Berlin
Built to ADAM Audio’s most stringent specifications, the S-ART tweeter delivers extreme precision, lightning-fast transient response, and fatigue-free listening, even over long sessions.
-
Air Velocity Ratio 4:1
The folded S-ART membrane moves air four times faster than the driver itself, producing crystal-clear highs with ultra-low distortion.
-
HPS & MPS Waveguides – Solid Aluminum Construction
The High-frequency Propagation System (HPS) and Mid-frequency Propagation System (MPS) provide broad, consistent horizontal dispersion, ensuring precise stereo imaging and a generous sweet spot.
-
Dome/Cone Hybrid (DCH) Midrange Driver
The proprietary 4" hybrid dome/cone driver delivers both accuracy and warmth, capturing the full detail of vocal and instrument-rich midrange content.
-
Dual 10” Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) Woofers
Paired with ADAM’s Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA), the ELE woofers produce thunderous, tight bass that reaches as low as 22 Hz, maintaining clarity even at high SPLs.
-
Custom DSP Engine
Optimize performance with linear phase crossover management, advanced EQ, room compensation controls, user presets, and digital input signal processing.
-
Massive SPL Output >131 dB
High headroom and expansive dynamic range make the S5H ideal for large-scale studios and film post-production environments.
-
Heavy-Duty, Acoustically-Optimized Cabinet
Built to eliminate resonances and coloration, the robust MDF cabinet includes front-facing bass reflex ports for placement flexibility.
