ADAM Audio S4X-V Active Studio Monitor Description
The S4X models
The S4X monitors are not just an improved versions of the famous and
highly acclaimed S4A but an evolutionary development. Like their
predecessors, they have been designed for medium size control rooms.
Given their excessive power, the S4X are also capable of working in
larger environments. Because both S4X models have identical tweeters
and midrange drivers handling frequencies above 350 Hz, any combination
of either model will integrate perfectly in a 5.1 or 7.1 installation.
X-ART & newly developed broadband amplifier
All models of the SX-Series are equipped with the new X-ART tweeter.
The X-ART tweeter has a 4dB higher efficiency, a 3dB higher maximum
sound pressure level, and an increase in frequency response up to 50
kHz. The newly designed broadband A/B amplifier
has been developed by ADAM to perfectly match the needs and
capabilities of the X-ART tweeter. The entire range of sound can be
heard as never before.
New HexaCone woofers
The new HexaCone
woofers are designed with larger and longer voice coils that deliver
more linear excursion for higher SPL max. values. A stronger magnetic
structure is added as well for an optimum in efficiency and accuracy.
Optional digital input and magnetical shielding
All SX-models (except the S1X) can be optionally retrofitted with a
24 bit/192 kHz D/A Converter featuring an AES/EBU (XLR) and a SPDIF
(RCA) inputs as well as a R/L/Mono switch.
All models can optionally be magnetically shielded.
The front panel (from S2X upwards)
Six controls to change the settings for input sensitivity, lower frequencies, and higher frequencies can be found on the new, highly sophisticated front panel."
ADAM Audio S4X-V Active Studio Monitor Features
The S4X-V has been earmarked for a vertical installation. This
reference monitor features the same X-ART and 5“ HexaCone midrange as
the S4X-H
allowing for almost identical tonal characteristics of both speakers.
This allows combinations of the different versions in bigger
multi-channel applications without tonal imbalance.
Furthermore, the S4X-V features a newly developed 12“ HexaCone
woofer. From the outset, this driver has been designed for optimal
results in a bass-reflex enclosure with electronic correction. An
exceptionally long 3” voice coil coupled with a very strong and highly
effective magnet system provides for powerful, yet never overemphasized
bass reproduction.
Improperly designed larger monitors are always at risk at
compromising the overall sound with bass reproduction that is too
intense. As in all ADAM Audio designed speakers, both versions of the
S4X have been designed to combine both the power and volume of the bass
(28 Hz at -3 dB point) with the highest possible precision. Combine
this with the transparent high and midrange frequencies of the S4X and
this will give an engineer a new quality level of control and
performance for larger rooms.
