Essential Information About ADAM Audio's "D3V" Desktop Monitoring System
- 1.5" D-ART Ribbon Tweeter inheriting 25 years of ADAM Audio expertise for precise, smooth, and fatigue-free highs.
- USB-C Plug-and-Play: integrated conversion to use the speakers as an audio output device without additional interfaces (compatible with computers and mobile devices).
- Amazing Bass in a Compact Format: 3.5" aluminum woofer + 3.5" side passive radiators reaching down to 45 Hz.
- Desk Control and Ergonomics: acoustic adjustments on the rear, front headphone output, and multifunction volume knob.
A Concentration of the "ADAM Sound" in a Desktop Format
With the D3V, ADAM Audio condenses its sonic signature and German industrial design into a fully active desktop system. The new compact D-ART ribbon tweeter brings the proprietary A.R.T. technology to a nearfield format, offering precise and pleasant listening during long sessions, available in black or white speakers.
Designed for Home Studio Creators
The D3V targets songwriters, producers, and content creators who want a minimalist, reliable, and portable solution. Connected via USB-C, it becomes the audio output of your computer or smartphone for consistent nearfield monitoring, with reduced perceptible latency during playback and no compression related to consumer adapters.
Key Features for an Efficient Setup
Each active pair combines a 3.5" aluminum woofer powered by an 80 W amplifier and a passive side radiator on each side for extended and controlled low end. Balanced 1/4" TRS inputs cover classic analog uses, while USB-C ensures modern and clean connectivity. On the front, a headphone output and multifunction volume knob facilitate input selection, muting, and quick adjustments.
On the back of the left speaker, simple switches correct proximity effects from walls or desks. The included angled stands (15 degrees) perfectly orient the speakers toward your ears, and the 3/8" threaded mount under each speaker allows mounting on a mic stand to save space.
