Adam F5 5″ 2-Way Powered Nearfield Monitor
Adam F5 5″ 2-Way Powered Nearfield Monitor
In 2009, ADAM introduced the brand new X-ART technology, a refined version of ART to improve what many considered to be the benchmark in tweeter technology. In 2010 and 2011, ADAM brought to market the lower price AX series of monitors, including the A7X, successor to the A7, bringing the acclaimed ADAM sound to more professional engineers than ever before. Now, in 2012, ADAM takes that experience to the next level and proudly presents a new even more affordable entry line of studio monitors.
The Brand New F Series: The ART of Affordability
Consisting of two nearfield monitors and a dedicated subwoofer, the F Series is designed in the tradition of the legendary ADAM professional monitors. The aim is to focus on the essence of ADAM speakers at a new, lower price point.
The F5 and F7 near field monitors feature a newly designed version of the ADAM proprietary Accelerating Ribbon Technology. These tweeters reproduce the high frequencies with the very airiness, clarity, and detail ADAM is famous for. The high performance woofers are designed to seamlessly integrate with the tweeters performance. Wherever deeper and more powerful bass response is required, the SubF subwoofer comes into play. It has been specifically designed to match the F monitors and will perfectly complement them in any set up.
The Speaker
The F5 is the smaller of the near field monitors in the brand new F-series and has been designed for listening environments with somewhat limited space.
Tweeter
The F models feature a newly designed version of ADAM’s highly acclaimed X-ART tweeter. Slightly smaller than the X-ART tweeter of the AX-series, it is the next step in this continuous evolution in tweeter design.
Midwoofer
As the name suggests, the F5 sports a 5″ woofer made from glas fibre and paper and a 25mm voice coil. Despite the size of both the woofer as well as the cabinet, the F5 is capable of an astounding deep yet tight bass response.
Controls
Several controls to adjust the monitors to the environment are located on the rear panel: two room EQ’s for both the high (>5kHz) and the low (<300Hz) frequencies as well as a volume knob (-8 to +6dB).
