ADAM S3X-H Nearfield Monitor Details

The ADAM S3X-H is the successor of the world famous model ADAM S3A. The ADAM S3A has been one of ADAM’s most famous models and is found in many of the most prestigious recording studios all over the world. With the ADAM S3X-H, ADAM again has a monitor second to none within its size and price point.

Unlike the S3A, the new X-model incorporates a 4” HexaCone-midrange as part of the redesigned construction to further improve the musically most important midrange. This new design provides more detail with improved radiation characteristics while presenting a musically coherent sound.

To produce deep, tight bass both woofers now work within the same frequency range and radiate symmetrically. This allows for a problem free installation in any multi-channel application.
