ADAM Debuts HIFI Speakers In US

Provider of professional monitors shows HIFI line at AKFEST 07

March 29, 2007

ADAM Audio, providers of powered monitors for professional audio, today debut their line of home HIFI speakers in the US market. Several models in the line can be seen at AKFEST 07, a high-end audio show sponsored by Audiokarma.org at the Plaza Hotel in Southfield, Michigan, on March 24th and 25th. Featured in ADAM's listening room will be The Pencil, an elegant 3-way floor-standing speaker that delivers a surprising contrast between its appearance and the deep, powerful bass it can reproduce. The no-compromise crossover section allows the connected power amplifier maximum control, as its resistance stays below 0.2 Ohms. The Pencil's outstanding frequency response of 35 Hz to 35 kHz, dual HexaCone˙ woofers, ART folded ribbon tweeter, and high power handling combine for the ultimate in performance. Its clean lines and choice of four custom finishes compliment any system or decor. The Pencil also carries an impressive 10-year warranty. "The ADAM HIFI line is designed to deliver the same accurate reproduction as the ADAM Professional Monitors used in top recording and production studios around the world," said Jim Latimer, National Sales Manager for ADAM Audio USA. "These speakers allow people to hear music and movies in their homes the way the producers heard them in the studio." ADAM HIFI Speakers not only look stunning, but incorporate the latest in cutting edge technology to deliver the kind of performance demanded by the most discerning ears. As in their professional powered monitors, ADAM uses ART folded ribbon technology and HexaCone woofers in their HIFI line. Accelerated Ribbon Technology, or ART, is a unique folded ribbon tweeter designed to provide all of the advantages of traditional ribbon tweeters with none of the drawbacks. ADAM's folded tweeter diaphragm expands and contracts in an "accordian-like" fashion, moving the air in a 4 to 1 ratio rather than the 1 to 1 ratio of traditional ribbon or dome tweeters. This results in more efficiency and accuracy with less ear fatigue. The tweeter delivers a coherent soundstage with a very generous "sweet spot," and a dispersion pattern equal to or greater than a dome tweeter. HexaCone woofers feature a Nomex˙ honecomb vacuum-coated on both sides with Kevlar®, resulting in an acoustic surface that is 70 percent more rigid than comparably sized cones of other materials, but is as much as 30 percent lighter in weight. This makes a very accurate speaker for bass and midrange frequencies that is virtually distortion-free. Other models in ADAM's HIFI line include The Compact, a smaller 2-way companion to the Pencil that uses a single HexaCone woofer and ART tweeter, and the Column, a larger 4-way floor-standing system incorporates two HexaCone woofers, an ART tweeter, and an ART midrange unit for extended detail and resolution in the midrange frequencies. For surround sound applications the Center uses the same components as the Pencil in a horizontal orientation, and the SW260 is a 200-watt active subwoofer with a single 10" woofer.
