With its power and radiation characteristics, the brand new Adam A8X monitor is suitable for both nearfield and midfield monitoring. With a price/performance ratio that could hardly be better, this monitor is a perfect entry into these monitoring fields.

The A8X monitor is equipped with the X-ART tweeter and a large (8.5") midwoofer, a combination that adds both a very deep and yet very tight bass response to the unsurpassed reproduction qualities of the ADAM proprietary tweeter.

Like the other AX-Series models, the upper corners of the A8X are slanted to minimize reflections. The very large double bass reflex tubes on the front have been specifically designed to perfectly match the midwoofer with its large voice coil.

With a 50W A/B amplifier for the tweeter and a 150W PWM amplifier for the midwoofer, the A8X has power in abundance and is the brawny monitor of the AX-Series.

On the rear panel are several controls: a gain for the high frequencies (-/+ 4dB) and 2 shelf filters for the high and low frequencies. There are both XLR (balanced) and RCA (unbalanced) connectors on the rear panel of the speaker, which allow the A8X to be used in almost any application.

Over 90 of a speaker's radiated power is of frequencies below 200Hz. Enormous amounts of energy are dissipated. That energy is partially dissipated into the cabinet structure which in turn vibrates the supporting structure, ie floorboards and joists. Witness the bass thump from sounds from other rooms. A foam mat will absorb most of this low frequency energy. The manufacturer evaluated various formulations of foam rubber and found this to provide the greatest attenuation and also provide a greater definition to the sound within the studio.

The dimensions of mat: 400mm x 300mm x 75mm.
