Full description

The S5H is a powerful head monitor specially designed for the demanding reference camps of the world's most expansive studios and control rooms.

The three-way S5H was, as the name suggests, conceived to be used in the horizontal direction and features two 10-inch Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass drivers, redesigned by ADAM Audio specifically for the S Series. Like the LF ELE units on all the other members of the series, the S5H's woofers feature ADAM Audio's proprietary Symmetrical Magnet Assembly (SMA), which guarantees that low-frequency sound remains tightly controlled and free of distortion at all times. The very important intermediate frequencies are handled by ADAM Audio's new hybrid DCH. This innovative 4-inch MF driver was also newly developed by ADAM Audio exclusively for the S Series and combines the sonic advantages of cone and dome drivers in a single unit.

Coupled with the S-ART tweeter - the latest iteration of ADAM Audio's widely respected folded-ribbon tweeter, now produced to tighter tolerances than ever before - the resulting combination produces a powerful yet relentless sound with palpable depth: the last word in high resolution, natural sound sound reproduction.

The off-axis treble and mid-driver responses remain extremely accurate thanks to the addition of high and mid-frequency waveguides milled from solid aluminum: ADAM Audio's newly developed mid- and high-frequency propagation systems (MPS and HPS). The resulting stable, far-reaching dispersion ensures that teams of more than one person can work in the speakers' sweet spot simultaneously, as is often necessary in larger control rooms.

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. 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.

No fewer than three separate amplifiers power the drivers: a 700W Class D design for the bass drivers, a 300W Class D for the midrange and a 100W Class D unit for the S-ART tweeter.

With its innovative features, advanced design, generous headroom and enormous dynamic range, the S5H takes its rightful place as ADAM Audio's flagship reference monitor: an extraordinary speaker that offers sound reproduction to the highest standards of fidelity.
