Full description

The S3H builds on the successes of ADAM Audio's most popular studio monitors, the S3A and S3X-H, and like its predecessors sets new standards in terms of technical innovation and design.

The dual 7-inch bass drivers, each powered by separate 500 W class D amplifiers, offer flawless reproduction of frequencies down to 30 Hz. ADAM Audio's newly developed DCH, a 4-inch hybrid dome/cone mid-drive, is powered by a 300W Class D amplifier and handles audio above 250Hz and below 3kHz, its leading hybrid design offering the sonic benefits of both cone and soft-dome -drivers in a single device. Frequencies above 3 kHz are routed to the innovative combination of the S-ART tweeter (each handcrafted at ADAM Audio's factory in Berlin), the new precision HPS waveguide and a 50 W class A/B amplifier. The result of all this innovation is a beautifully transparent three-dimensional soundstage with an extensive sweet spot.

The S Series' specially designed DSP optimizes the speaker crossovers to create linear responses for the entire spectrum as well as providing user equalization and room setting / voice functions. A unique feature of the S3H's DSP settings is a built-in factory EQ preset that mimics the response of ADAM Audio's legendary S3A monitor. The DSP also handles the limiter-based high-frequency driver protection, processes the signals from the AES3 digital inputs, and will eventually facilitate various expansion options. Software updates can be easily performed via the associated USB port, which also allows users to connect computers and control the speakers' DSP functions via a software front-end.

With its massively powerful amplification and three-way design (optimally configured for horizontal use), the S3H was intended as a mid-range monitor, but can be used equally well in more compact listening environments. As with all ADAM Audio designs, the sound is punchy yet musical with crystal clear reproduction of the important midrange.

The S3H's wide frequency response, its instantly accessible amplifiers, ample headroom, and the lack of need for additional subwoofers should appeal to any audio professional seeking a stand-alone, full-frequency active solution for their recording studio, one that provides equally detailed sonic information at any volume setting , loud or quiet. Regardless of your preferred output level, the S3H's vivid authenticity spurs creativity for producers, engineers and musicians everywhere, and the sound remains remarkably tireless even when working continuously for extended periods.
