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 F5 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 ART (Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeters incorporate a new approach to the AMT (Air Motion Transformer) concept originally developed by Dr. Oskar Heil. The ART membrane consists of a pleated diaphragm in which the folds compress or expand according to the audio signal applied to them. The ART diaphragm presses the air faster in or out of its folds than they themselves are moving. The ADAM ART design achieves an improvement in air loading by a factor of 4 over conventional transducers and therefore overcomes the piston-like motion of all regular drivers and their inevitable problems. The result is a dramatic improvement in the quality of audio reproduction. ART tweeters have a high efficiency (approximately 92dB/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 5” 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 F5 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 F5 brings you the essence of ADAM speakers at a new, lower price point.
