REVOLUTIONARY TWEETER DESIGN

Since its launch in 1999, Berlin-based ADAM Audio has fast gained international prominence and respect as a manufacturer of reliable and highly accurate reference monitors. This reputation and performance has led to ADAM Audio monitors being used by engineers in top recording studios around the world. A key component yielding the monitors’ stellar performance is ADAM Audio’s innovative, proprietary X-ART tweeter used in all their high-frequency drivers, including the T Series’ new U-ART 1.9” tweeter. Made of a high-tech polyimide film used in thermal blankets on spacecraft and satellites, the U-ART tweeter’s diaphragm provides pristine and extended high-frequency response up to 25 kHz. But it’s the tweeter’s revolutionary folded design that’s one of the key elements responsible for the T Series’ outperformance compared to other reference monitors in its class.
Unlike a conventional dome or cone tweeter that uses a piston action to move air and reproduce sound, the U-ART tweeter uses a pleated membrane that alternately draws air into its folds and squeezes it out as the folds respectively expand apart and press together in response to inputted audio signals. This design produces four times as much air movement as does a piston-based design, creating higher sound pressure levels [SPLs] with lower distortion. On a practical level, the U-ART tweeter lets you hear pristine details in your mixes with far greater clarity that, along with the tweeter’s superior off-axis performance, help you make better decisions in the creative process that will translate faithfully to other playback systems. What’s more, you can listen at louder levels than with conventional monitors without suffering listening fatigue.

ADVANCED WAVEGUIDE, WOOFER, AMPLIFIERS, CROSSOVERS AND CABINETS

The U-ART tweeter is fitted to a new, precision waveguide that provides highly uniform dispersion of high frequencies. The result is an incredibly wide sweet spot that frees you from being glued to a rigid mix position while working. The T Series all-new polypropylene woofer and the cabinets rear-firing bass- reflex port together provide ultra-smooth, highly accurate midrange and extended bass response. New Class D amplifiers and power supplies are custom- matched to the tweeter and woofer for optimal performance: The U-ART tweeter is powered by a 20 W amp, while a 50 W amp serves the woofer. The new Class D amps, in combination with the U-ARTs powerful 4:1 velocity transfer ratio [the tweeters ability to move air four times as much as other designs], let you listen at very loud levels without listening fatigue. DSP-controlled driver crossovers ensure there are no holes at the crossover frequency between drivers when mixing, what you hear is what you get. This precision is complemented by the T Series all-new beveled cabinets, which minimize diffraction to produce superior imaging that lets you hear the discrete placement of panned tracks in the stereo field with pinpoint accuracy.

VERSATILE CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

On the rear side of each T Series monitor, a sturdy metal backplate is home to a comprehensive assortment of controls and analog input connections that adapt your monitors to virtually any professional system:

• A balanced XLR connector and unbalanced RCA jack allow connection to professional mixers and I/O boxes using +4 dBu or -10 dBV nominal operating levels.
• Each monitor has its own level control, which is especially useful to balance output levels between left and right monitors when they’re used in an asymmetric control room.
• Two 3-way switches respectively adjust the monitors’ high- and low-frequency responses ±2 dB or select flat response, adapting the monitors to any room’s acoustic signature.
• The T7V can automatically accept AC voltages ranging from 100 to 240 V, at 50/60 Hz — simply activate the power switch for each monitor and go!

Please see Section 3 of this manual for an illustrated key to the T Series’ rear-panel connections and controls. Optimal use of rear-panel connections and controls is explained in greater detail in Sections 4 and 5 of this manual.

OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF YOUR MONITORS

The T Series monitors’ small footprints allow placement anywhere in your room, no matter how small. However, you’ll get the very best sound out of your monitors by placing them at optimal positions in your room. T Series monitors incorporate a near field design and should be placed on speaker stands, a console bridge or a desktop in relatively close proximity to [ideally about three feet from] your mix position. Such placement ensures that the sound you hear coming directly from the monitors will be louder than that which is indirectly arriving at your ears after reflecting off your room’s walls, floor and ceiling. By placing the monitors close to your mix position [and following other guidelines discussed next], your T Series monitors will provide an accurate reference of your mix, untainted by reverberation, tonal colorations and phase cancellations caused by your room. Other considerations are equally important. If your control room is not symmetrical at one end [such as in a space with an alcove off to one side], you’ll get the most balanced frequency response from left and right monitors if you set them up at the other, symmetrical end of the room [see Fig. 1].

Ideally, you’ll want your monitors pointing down the length of the room so that the rear wall is as far away from your mix position as possible [see Fig. 2]; this will make the direct sound emanating from your monitors much louder than the sound bouncing off the back wall, thereby minimizing peaky-sounding comb filtering and preventing your T Series monitors’ precise imaging from being changed.

To avoid introducing unwanted boosts and dips in bass-frequency response, avoid placing each monitor so that its woofer is an equal distance from two or more nearby boundaries [for example, front and side walls, or a wall and floor]. The monitors will have the same bass response if you place them in mirror images with respect to nearby walls; that is, the left monitor should be the same distance from the left wall as the right monitor is from the right wall, and both monitors should be the same distance from the front wall that’s behind them [see Fig. 3]. For the flattest bass response, each monitor should be placed at least 16 inches from the nearest wall.

The monitors’ tweeters should be at ear level when you’re sitting at your mix position. If this isn’t feasible, angle the monitors up or down so that the tweeters are aiming at your ears [see Fig. 4]; we recommend sitting your T Series monitors on isolated speaker stands that can be adjusted to modify the tilt angle of your cabinets so that the tweeters are aiming at your ears. The speaker stands should “decouple,†or acoustically isolate, the cabinets from the shelves, tabletop or console bridge they are placed on, thereby preventing muddy-sounding upper-bass resonances that would change the T Series monitors’ balanced bass response.

In order to have the tweeters aimed at your ears, you’ll also need to toe-in the monitors so that they form an equilateral triangle with your ears when you’re seated at your mix position [see Figs. 1, 2 and 3]. With this setup, facing the centerline between left and right monitors as you mix, you should notice a rock-solid phantom center image, pinpoint localization of panned tracks, excellent high-frequency detail, clear midrange and an even bass response.

REAR-PANEL FEATURES

1. BASS-REFLEX PORT – The bass-reflex port works together with the monitor’s woofer to produce flat and extended bass response.
2. HF SWITCH – Use this switch to boost or cut the monitor’s high-frequency response by 2 dB. The “0” setting maintains flat response.
3. LF SWITCH – Use this switch to boost or cut the monitor’s low-frequency response by 2 dB. The “0” setting maintains flat response.
4. LEVEL KNOB – Turn this knob clockwise to increase the monitor’s volume, or counterclockwise to decrease its volume. The “0 dB” setting will be optimal in most situations.
5. IN CONNECTOR – Use this XLR connector to input balanced audio with nominal + 4 dBu level.
6. IN CONNECTOR – Use this RCA connector to input unbalanced audio with nominal -10 dBV level.
7. +4 dBu/-10 dBV SWITCH – Set this switch to the “+4 dBu” position when inputting audio using the Bal. in [XLR] connector. Set the switch to the “-10 dBV” position when inputting audio using the Unbal. in [RCA] connector.
8. POWER SWITCH – Set this switch to the ON position to apply power to the monitor. An associated green LED will light when the monitor is turned on.
9. POWER CONNECTOR – Use this standard three-prong IEC AC power receptacle to connect the detachable AC cord to the monitor.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS AND LEVEL SETTINGS

Your T Series monitors need no external amplification, thanks to their built- in amplifiers. The monitors can be directly connected to mixing consoles and both balanced and unbalanced I/O boxes for DAWs. And because T Series monitors automatically accept AC mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 V, at 50/60 Hz, you don’t have to fuss with selecting a correct voltage switch setting for safe operation.
On the rear panel of your T Series monitor, an XLR connector and RCA jack respectively accept balanced +4 dBu and unbalanced -10 dBV nominal input levels. The XLR connector’s wiring follows the industry standard convention: Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is positive [hot] and Pin 3 is negative [cold]. A 2-way switch selects which connector—XLR or RCA—receives the input signal.
To begin using your T Series monitors, follow these simple steps:

• Before making any connections to your T Series monitors, make sure the power switch for each monitor is turned off and each monitor’s Level control knob is set to its “0 dB” setting. Also make sure the equipment you will connect to your monitors is turned off and its output-level controls, if any, are turned all the way down.
• If you’ll be sending balanced +4 dBu analog audio from your mixer, I/O box or other equipment to your T Series monitors, use the monitors’ respective XLR connectors and set their +4 dBu/-10 dBV switches to the +4 dBu setting.
• If you’ll be sending unbalanced -10 dBV analog audio from your mixer, I/O box or other equipment to your T Series monitors, use the monitors’ respective RCA connectors and set their +4 dBu/-10 dBV switches to the -10 dBV setting.
• After all connections are made to your T Series monitors, turn on the equipment feeding them.
• Flip the power switch for each of your T Series monitors to the ON position.
• Set the output level controls, if any, on the equipment feeding your monitors to their nominal level or to where you normally set them.
• While playing audio, fine-tune the Level control knob setting on each monitor to attain the listening volume you desire. If your monitors are placed properly in a symmetrical room [see Section 2 of this manual], the settings for the Level control knobs on both monitors should be the same to achieve equal playback volume and balanced imaging.
• All pro audio monitors require some burn-in time to reach their optimal performance. Please play complex program material through your T Series monitors for at least eight hours before using them on a critical project.
• At the end of each session, turn off your T Series monitors before powering down any equipment connected to them.

USING THE HF AND LF SWITCHES ON THE REAR PANEL

On the rear panel for each T Series monitor, two 3-way switches labeled “LF” and “HF” boost or cut the monitor’s respective high- and low-frequency responses by 2 dB. Each switch also provides a neutral middle position, labeled “0,” that produces flat response in their frequency range. If you’ve placed your T Series monitors optimally [see Section 2 of this manual], you’ll probably find that your T Series monitors sound the most balanced with both switches set to the “0” [flat] position.
A brief review of how room acoustics can affect loudspeaker performance will help you get the most out of using your T Series monitors’ LF and HF switches:
Sound bouncing off bare walls and, typically to a lesser extent, the ceiling in your control room can create very short echoes that distort imaging and phase response back at your mix position. Properly treating your room with acoustic foam or high-density fiberglass sound panels reduces or prevents these problems by absorbing the sound, rather than reflecting it back to your mix position. However, foam and fiberglass sound panels absorb mostly high, midrange and—depending on the material used and its thickness—upper-bass frequencies. [The thicker the material, the lower the extension of frequencies that are absorbed, with high-density fiberglass absorbing frequencies roughly a full octave lower than open-cell foam for the same thickness. For example, both 2”-thick fiberglass wall panels and 4”-thick acoustic foam typically absorb sound effectively down to around 250 Hz.] Because these materials absorb sound most effectively in the treble range, a room heavily treated with acoustic foam or fiberglass sound panels can make any loudspeaker’s playback of high frequencies sound muffled. To restore clarity and detail, your T Series monitors provide a HF switch setting that boosts high-frequency response 2 dB.
Another acoustic phenomenon to keep in mind when placing your monitors in your room is the boundary effect. The closer you place a loudspeaker to a room boundary — a wall, floor or ceiling — the more bass frequencies will be acoustically boosted. To preserve your T Series monitors’ flat frequency response, it’s important to nullify the boundary effect by placing them at least 16 inches away from any wall. This is also important in order to prevent physical interference by the wall behind the monitors with the cabinets’ rear- firing bass reflex ports. If ergonomics require you place your T Series monitors close to a wall, setting the LF switch on the rear panel to the “-2 dB” setting will cut the bass response an equal amount and help restore flat spectral balance.
Follow these basic guidelines for using the LF switch to change your T Series monitors’ bass response:

• If your room’s layout dictates you must place your T Series monitors closer than 16 inches away from a wall, try setting the LF switch to the “-2 dB” position to compensate for such placement naturally boosting bass frequencies.
• If you wish to listen to your T Series monitors with exaggerated bass response, set the LF switch to the “+2 dB” position.

Follow these basic guidelines for using the HF switch to change your T Series monitors’ high-frequency response:

• If your room is heavily treated with absorptive acoustic materials such as foam or fiberglass wall panels, you may notice that high frequencies are being acoustically attenuated, resulting in a dull sound. In this case, try setting your T Series monitor’s HF switch to its “+2 dB” position to restore high-frequency detail.
• In an especially live, bright-sounding room, you may prefer setting the HF switch to its “-2 dB” setting to compensate for the room’s acoustics.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Should you experience problems with your monitors, for example loss of signal, unwanted interference or noise, it‘s worth running through the following basic checks before contacting the team here at ADAM Audio or our local representatives.

In the event that your speakers are producing no signal, or only a distorted signal:

1. Consider where the problem is. If all of your speakers are exhibiting the same lack of signal or distorted signal, it‘s more likely that the problem lies with the audio source. If, on the other hand, only a single loudspeaker is affected, the problem is more likely to lie with that specific speaker.
2. Check your wiring and cables, if possible swapping them for others that you know are working without any problems. If you only have a pair of cables, see if the fault changes speakers when you swap the cables over. If so, the problem is likely to be found in the cable.
3. Check your signal source, connecting the speakers as directly as possible to the source. Could the fault lie with another component, for example a mixer or processor which is usually connected before the speakers in the signal path?

In the event that your speakers are producing a signal, but it is affected by occasional unwanted noise, such as buzzing, humming or crackling:

1. Check cables, as above, swapping them or replacing them where possible, and see if the fault is also affected.
2. Check that there are no sources of electromagnetic interference close to the speakers that could be causing problems [mobile phones, wireless routers, power supplies, electrical motors or heaters, and so on].

If none of the above can be identified as the source of the problem, your speakers may be defective, in which case contact ADAM Audio or the local representative/distributor [see www.adam-audio.com for a list].

MAINTENANCE

• Please switch off your monitors before cleaning them.
• Please be aware that the speaker drivers generate a significant electromagnetic field. Magnetically sensitive items should be kept at a distance of at least half a meter [20 inches].
• Please ensure that no liquids enter the cabinet. Wet cloths should not be used for cleaning, and cleaning fluids should not be sprayed near the loudspeakers.
• Flammable or acidic chemicals should not be used for cleaning either.
• If at all possible, do not touch the loudspeaker cones [they may be dusted lightly, using a very soft brush].
• We recommend a lint-free, damp [not wet] cloth for general cleaning.

SHIPPING

We recommend that you keep your loudspeaker packaging if at all possible, in case your monitors ever need to be sent for repair. It is extremely difficult to protect your loudspeakers so that they can be shipped without damage if the original packaging is not available. We cannot accept responsibility for damages arising due to improper packaging being used when the loudspeakers are in transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave my ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors on all the time?

Yes, leaving your speakers on when not in use will harm them.

Is a single ADAM Audio T7V monitor speaker good for production?

It is strongly advised to use two studio monitors in stereo if you are mixing and wish to produce music of a high calibre, even though using a single studio monitor speaker can be fine for recreational music listening.

What is the purpose of ADAM Audio T7V studio monitor speakers?

Studio monitors are loudspeakers in speaker enclosures created especially for professional audio production applications like recording studios, movie, television, radio, and project or home studios, where correct audio reproduction is essential.

How long is Adam Audio warranty?

A two-year standard warranty is included when you purchase an ADAM Audio product. The warranty is increased by three years to a total of five years when you register your product in the MyADAM customer area of our website.

Can ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors fill a room?

In contrast to how you would design and tune a sound system for a concert hall or a dance club, or even choose a Hi Fi to fill a living room, studio monitors are not normally meant to fill an entire space. Monitors resemble a pair of headphones more than a room sound system.

When should you use ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors?

Use of studio monitors is often recommended whether recording, mixing, or mastering. You merely get a more accurate sound, as was already mentioned. Regular speakers may cause you to overlook some audio detail, which could result in an unbalanced mix.

Can I use ADAM Audio T7V monitor speakers for a party?

Studio monitors are good for listening to music, but they’re not ideal for huge gatherings. Because they are made for listening to loud music, standard speakers or a home theatre can be a great replacement. For large parties, a PA system is even better.

Do you need an amp for ADAM Audio T7V monitor speakers?

The characteristics of the amplifier and speakers are well matched in an active monitor setup, which is a self-contained speaker and amplifier combination. They only require a line output from an amplifier; they do not require external amplification.

How many watts do ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors use?

In general, 10–60 watts should be plenty for a studio the size of a bedroom or home office. Mid-sized studios and larger spaces might need more than that. Manufacturers tailor wattage to each driver for best performance over the driver’s frequency range when using powered monitors with built-in amplifiers.

How many ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors do I need?

The majority of studio monitors are sold alone. However, several studio monitor sets are available. You’ll need decent stereo sound, which entails two speakers, for music production. Because of this, we advise acquiring a pair of identical studio monitors or a pair of monitor speakers.

Can you use just one ADAM Audio T7V studio monitor?

It is strongly advised to use two studio monitors in stereo if you are mixing and wish to produce music of a high calibre, even though using a single studio monitor speaker can be fine for recreational music listening.

Do I need two ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors or just one?

It entirely depends on what you’re trying to do with audio. A multi-speaker monitoring arrangement with a subwoofer is essentially necessary if you’re mixing sound for TV or movies. You really only need a stereo pair of studio monitors if you’re mixing your band’s basement-recorded demo songs.

Can you use ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors as regular speakers?

Yes, you can play music over your studio monitor, but the sound will be different. Studio monitors are designed to generate a sound that is flat, without any character or colour.

Can I use ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors as hifi speakers?

High end hifi speakers cannot compare to high quality studio monitors (ATC, PMC, Dynaudio, Genelec, etc.) in sound quality. Frequently, they come with helpful add-on features like integrated amplifiers and EQ sliders for room correction.
