Adam Audio T5V Nearfield Monitor 2-Way Studio Monitor

Product details

With its 5” woofer the bass-frequency response of the T5V extends to 45 Hz. The new U-ART tweeter, a breakthrough solution for use in high-resolution recording and mixing on a budget, goes up to 25 kHz and is mated to a precision waveguide with the same dispersion-control attributes as the High Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide used in ADAM Audio’s flagship S Series monitors. The waveguide’s highly uniform dispersion of high frequencies provides an incredibly wide sweet spot that frees you from being glued to a rigid mix position while working.

A beveled cabinet with a rear-firing bass reflex port and a small footprint allows placement anywhere in your room, no matter how small, and contains built-in DSP-controlled driver crossovers and equalization as well as multi-way analog connections. Powered with a 50 W Class D amplifier for the woofer and a 20 W Class D amplifier for the U-ART tweeter, the T5V produces SPLs of up to 106 dB per pair.

Excellent acoustic characteristics, small dimensions and an outstanding cost/performance ratio make this studio monitor perfectly suited for use in small control rooms in music, video and broadcast production.

If you need to hear more bottom end, the T5V is compatible with the ADAM Audio T10S subwoofer.

The Adam Audio T5V is another popular nearfield studio monitor known for its high-quality sound reproduction and compact design.

Here are some technical skills and features associated with the Adam Audio T5V:

1. Frequency Response: Understanding the frequency response of the T5V is essential. It typically has a frequency response ranging from 45 Hz to 25 kHz, ensuring accurate representation across the audible spectrum.

2. Driver Technology: The T5V features a 5-inch polypropylene woofer and a U-ART (Unique Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter) tweeter. Understanding the technology behind these drivers and their characteristics will help optimize their performance.

3. Amplification: Like the T7V, the T5V is also bi-amplified with Class D amplifiers. Familiarity with bi-amplification and Class D amplifier technology will aid in setting up and optimizing the monitors for different environments.

4. Input Options: The T5V offers balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, allowing connectivity with various audio sources. Knowing how to properly connect and switch between these inputs is crucial.

5. Crossover Technology: Similar to the T7V, the T5V utilizes a precise crossover design to ensure seamless integration between the woofer and tweeter. Understanding crossover frequencies and slopes can help in fine-tuning the monitor's performance.

6. Room Acoustics: Just like with any studio monitor, having knowledge about room acoustics and how they affect monitor placement and sound reproduction is crucial for optimizing the performance of the T5V.

7. Calibration: The T5V may feature calibration options such as high and low shelving filters to compensate for room acoustics or personal preferences. Understanding how to use these calibration features can help tailor the sound to specific listening environments.

8. Power Handling: The T5V has a maximum SPL of 106 dB per pair, which should be considered when working with different audio sources and signal levels.

9. Nearfield Monitoring Techniques: Knowing how to properly set up and utilize nearfield monitoring techniques with the T5V is essential for accurate sound reproduction and critical listening.

10. Maintenance: Basic maintenance procedures such as cleaning the monitors and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent overheating are also important for prolonging the lifespan of the T5V.

By mastering these technical skills and features associated with the Adam Audio T5V nearfield monitor, audio professionals can optimize their workflow and achieve accurate sound reproduction in their studio environments.
