Guitar Center Product Review: ADAM Audio A7X
by Jake Forsyth – Sales Manager
Chances are, if you are reading this then music plays a major role in your life. One does not simply pick up the Colorado Music Buzz by mistake. Whether you play an instrument, record and produce music, or simply sit back with a fine microbrew listening to some tunes, you are engaging in the enjoyment of music. From a very young age I have always been concerned about what kind of speakers my music would be played out of. My busy engineering lifestyle over the years has allowed for many hours of listening on many sets of speakers. I have been so impressed with a specific pair that it has allowed me to rediscover my love for music all over again, and I want to share it with you.
ADAM Audio is a relatively new name to the audio world. They were founded in 1999 by Klaus Heinz in Berlin with the purpose of creating world-class professional loudspeakers. Where most speaker manufacturers use silk or titanium to construct a dome tweeter for high frequencies, ADAM’s are equipped with a folded ribbon. This Ribbon is folded back and forth, and when expanded has a greater diameter than the traditional 1” dome tweeter. For the low frequency driver they are using a carbon/glass/rohacell cone rather than paper. That’s right, your average speaker cone is made of paper.
The speakers aesthetically integrate with any environment. They are available in a matte black, glossy black, or white finish. The box has nice angles and the speakers can either stand upright or be turned on their sides. ADAM Audio specializes in active speaker technology. Meaning the power supply and amplifier are built into the speakers. This gives you a number of ways to hook them up. The back of the speakers have either XLR connections for a mixer or audio interface for recording, as well as RCA inputs for more simple connections like a direct iPod/MP3 connection, video games, or movies. There is volume control right on the front for easy adjustments, as well as fine tuning adjustments for bass and treble on the rear.
I have been recording, mixing, mastering, and most importantly, listening for a long time. When you are involved in the creative process there is a lot of back and forth listening involved between different sound systems. Since picking up a pair of the ADAM Audio A7X’s my work has gotten much easier, and more enjoyable. From a creative stand point they give you the total absolute truth on what you are hearing. From a listeners perspective they can perfectly reproduce the sound stage in such a way you become immersed in the mix. If you are looking to pick up a pair of speakers to take your music production to the next level, or simply treat yourself to one of the most impressive musical experiences EVER, the ADAM A7X’s are right for you.
