ADAM A77X Powered Studio Monitors

No longer available at zZounds
With dual 7" woofers from the A7X monitor, and ADAM's trademark ribbon tweeter in a horizontal design, the A77X studio monitors deliver a wide stereo image.

The Adam A77X is a horizontally designed monitor that combines all of the technical innovations in Adam's AX-Series. Due to its powerful, compression-free sound reproduction and excellent radiation characteristics, it is suitable both for nearfield and midfield monitoring.

The special feature of the A77X is its 2 1/2-way system. Both 7” woofers start to work together at 38 Hz. At 400 Hz, one woofer fades out as the second woofer continues to operate in the midrange up to 3 kHz. This prevents interference and possible phase cancellation in the critical midrange. Even though frequency transitions and potential distortions lie outside these areas, the human ear is particularly sensitive to midrange frequencies.

Especially noteworthy in the A77X is the extremely wide stereo foundation and brilliant stereo imaging. Treble and mids are reproduced with three-dimensional realism and the lows are, as expected from a double woofer design, massive without compromising on precision.

Driver technology

Like all models of the AX series, the A77X features the ADAM proprietary X-ART tweeter. The X stands for eXtended frequency response and thus for one of the features of the Accelerating Ribbon Technology that has been drastically improved: the frequency response. It now extends all the way up to 50kHz. In addition, the X-ART tweeter has higher efficiency and higher maximum sound pressure levels.

The two 7-inch woofers are identical with that of the A7X. With their large voice coils read more (1.5 inch) and powerful amplifiers, they are capable of both very high maximum sound pressure levels as well as very deep registers. The woofers do not cover the same frequency bands: while both of them are responsible for the (sub-) bass frequencies up to about 400Hz, only one of them reproduces the midrange. This prevents interferences between the two drivers.

Amplifiers / controls

Each driver has its own dedicated amplifier. A 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, while the bass-/midwoofers are driven by a 100W PWM amp each. The front panel includes a power switch and a control for the volume that retains the volume setting independently from the on/off switch.

The rear panel features several additional controls: a gain for the high frequencies ( 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies. To ensure greater compatibility, there are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors.

I'm a big fan of high quality audio. I use these studio monitors primarily for music and gaming on my PC. I have them running off of my Schiit Gungnir Multibit/Mjolnir 2 and the sound is super flat, non-fatiguing and clear. The 3D imaging is unreal as well. They're super expensive but very well made and have an amazing warranty. I've owned mine for maybe 6 months now and expect them to last for many years to come. I also emailed the manufacturer regarding vertical positioning and got a super detailed response within a few hours. Highly recommended!
