Following great success in Europe and Asia, ADAM Audio, a leading provider of precision loudspeakers for the professional and consumer markets, is now shipping their Classic Series loudspeakers in the United States. With refined lines and the latest in loudspeaker technology, the Classic Series is a perfect match for today's upscale home theater and residential audio installation market. Available in distinctive finishes from high-gloss piano black to deep, rich cherry wood, ADAM's Classic Series are designed to enhance the aesthetics of any room while providing the latest technological advances, the finest materials, and exemplary workmanship. ADAM's acclaimed ART (Advanced Ribbon Technology) folded ribbon tweeters provide the Classic Series with a detailed and natural high end, while lightweight and extremely stiff HexaCone™ woofers provide deep and tight bass. The drivers are mounted on an aluminum honeycomb panel which lends a distinctive appearance, while minimizing undesirable vibrations into the cabinet. Pencil The Pencil is an elegant floor standing high-class speaker that delivers a surprising contrast between its appearance and the deep and powerful bass response it can deliver. Built around the acclaimed ART tweeter, the Pencil creates a very natural sound. One of the two 7" HexaCone™ woofers takes on the full range of the bass and middle frequencies, with the second one joining it only below 150 Hz. Together with two Compacts (rear surrounds) and the Center (horizontal version of the Pencil), the Pencil provides a perfect foundation for stereo listening or home theater surround listening. Column The Column is the first Classic speaker system to feature the ART midrange unit. Its unusual reproductive capabilities can deliver the wonder of a spectacular live concert event as well as revealing the subtle details of modern recording techniques. Two 7" HexaCone™ woofers and a larger cabinet reveal tones as deep as 32 Hz. The 800 Hz - 2 kHz range is reproduced by the ADAM ART midrange, the first and only Air Motion type transformer for that frequency band. Topped off by an ART tweeter, the Column blurs the line between home cinematic sound and the real thing. Compact The Compact incorporates ADAM's revolutionary ART tweeter and a 7" HexaCone™ woofer in a smaller cabinet, perfect for a stereo set-up where space it at a premium, or as part of a 5.1 set-up. SW260 The SW260 delivers stunning bass performance to fill out the low end of a stereo or surround system. It is possible to adjust the bandwidth of the woofer and the connected full-range speakers separately, allowing the SW260 to be used with many different satellites. Like all ADAM subwoofers, the SW260 features numerous controls, including volume, crossover and the ability to continuously vary the phase of the incoming signal between 0° and 180°, allowing for maximum flexibility in woofer placement. The Classic Series reflects ADAM Audio's long-standing reputation as a top supplier of studio monitors in professional audio market. ADAM studio monitors are in daily use in some of the finest recording, mastering, and film scoring studios around the world.
