ADAM Audio T7V Active Studio Monitor
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
With U-ART ribbon tweeters and HPS waveguides for a wide sweet spot, ADAM T7V powered monitors deliver clarity and detail unheard of in this price range.
Overview
The ADAM T7V is a medium-sized, nearfield studio monitor with a classic form factor and superb audio performance. Sitting firmly in the middle of the T Series product range, it offers analytical reference monitoring in a robust and stylish construction. ADAM Audio's signature AMT tweeter technology meets numerous other innovations which enable the T7V to deliver high-precision audio across a broad range of applications.
Musician/sound designer Kevin Droese explains how he uses ADAM T7V monitors:
The T7V features specially developed 7" polypropylene woofers, linked to a ferrite magnet system driven by 50 Watt Class D amplification. The hand-folded U-ART high frequency driver crosses over at 2.6kHz and is coupled with a 20 Watt class D amplifier. This design offers the T7V a combination of clean power handling, solid headroom for precise nearfield listening applications, excellent low-distortion output as well as highly efficient thermal dynamics.
The T7V centres around ADAM Audio's industry-leading air motion transformer (AMT) tweeter design, referred to as ART or "Accelerated Ribbon Technology". The compact 1.9" U-ART tweeter has been developed so users can enjoy the same precise and unfatiguing high-frequency reproduction that ADAM Audio's flagship monitoring systems are known for.
With its focus on core functionality and delivering maximum quality and performance, the T Series offers the key inputs that both professionals and consumers alike are looking for. This includes… read more balanced XLR inputs for connection to audio interfaces and other studio equipment, plus unbalanced RCA inputs for connecting to other devices.
Beyond useful connections, the T Series offers several other convenient functions on the back panel. High and low frequency shelves are controlled via two manual switches, each offering 0dB and +/- 2 dB. In addition, there are mechanical controls for gain, input select and mains power switching.

Precision Polypropylene Woofers
The T Series utilizes custom-designed polypropylene woofers with rigid and highly responsive performance characteristics. The drivers offer lightweight construction and high cone stiffness with long-throw surrounds and a fully optimised design including bespoke geometry and various demodulation measures. This all delivers stunningly accurate, clean and well-controlled low end.U-Art Tweeter
Drawing on more than two decades of pedigree in AMT tweeter design, each U-ART utilises the same painstaking hand-folded production processes as ADAM's other product ranges. Meticulous attention to detail and rigorous quality control throughout ensure that every unit is engineered to the highest possible standards. The finished tweeters are then mounted into the solid ABS front baffles and driven by 50 Watt PWM Class D amplifiers for optimal sound quality and thermal handling.HPS Waveguide geometry
As with ADAM Audio's flagship S Series range, all T Series monitors make use of the same proprietary HPS, "High-frequency Propagation System". This trickle-down technology enables the T Series to offer similar tonal presentation to ADAM's high-end products, with the wide, open and highly detailed sound stage ADAM monitors are renowned for. For users this means exceptional clarity, superb directivity, and effortless high frequency presentation.Solid cabinet construction
The T Series was designed to offer the most solid, dependable and accurate platform for audio reproduction. This is evidenced by the robust, resonance-free cabinet construction using braced MDF and ABS, as well as the carefully chosen materials which combine to deliver the T7V's premium look and feel. The design language is consistent with the brand's utilitarian approach which employs bevelled edges to reduce edge diffractions from the front baffle.Room adaptation acoustic controls
The backplate provides users with a simple and intuitive means to tune the loudspeaker's output according to the user's environment and/or taste. The DSP-driven HF and LF trim switches allow users to adjust bass and treble output (5kHz) depending on where the speakers are placed, the level of room treatment available as well as the desired sound signature. All of this can be done without measurements or software, ideal for first-time users or those who are short on time and looking for a quick and simple solution.Balanced and Unbalanced Analogue Inputs
The T7V features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line inputs, allowing a broad range of analogue connections across professional and consumer devices.What's In The Box?

I had to send my Focals in to have them repaired, that had a slight noise issue in the amplification. I needed some affordable monitors to fill in until they got back from repair. With ADAMS rep I knew that the affordable T7V's would probably be a good standby backup pair. Was I wrong! These are pretty serious monitors unheard of in their price range! Nice pristine highs. The low end is smooth and is rich. Bass instruments sound nice. I actually heard things in my previous recordings that i had not heard before...not just in the high end because of the ribbon tweeter... but the low end as well. The stereo image sounds wonderful... much like my Focals. I could close my eyes and hear the the depth of a good mastered track. For $500 a pair you can't go wrong. Are there better speakers out there....yes! However... get ready to spend over $1,500.00 a pair to get them. These are a good value for the price. The ADAM T7V"s are my new friends... even when I get the Focals back..the T7V's will be getting equal listening time... if not more!
