Adam announces F7 and F5 Active Studio Monitor

Adam will be releasing two new near field monitors later this year. Adam F7 and F5 Active Studio Monitor are expected to be released in october 2012. The ADAM F7 Active Studio Monitor has been designed to provide an affordable solution for those requiring accurate nearfield monitoring. The ADAM F5 Active Studio Monitor has been designed for smaller listening environments, but despite its size is still capable of delivering deep and tight low frequencies.

The F7 features a redesigned version of ADAM’s acclaimed ART ribbon tweeter to reproduce high frequencies with the airiness, clarity, and detail ADAM is famous for. ART tweeters have a high efficiency (approximately 92 dB/W/m), a perfectly linear impedance (3.9 ± 0.21), an equally perfect phase response (±1° within the utilized bandwidth), excellent directivity characteristics and a superb power handling capacity.

The 7” woofer is made from carbon and paper and has a 25 mm voice coil, designed to seamlessly integrate with the tweeter’s performance. Several controls on the rear panel let you adjust the ADAM F7 monitor to the listening environment, these include 2 room EQs for both the high (>5kHz) and the low (<300Hz) frequencies, as well as a dedicated volume knob.

The ADAM F7 brings you the essence of ADAM speakers at a new, lower price point.
