The big T

The smaller siblings of Adam's T8V speakers were launched in 2018 and immediately scooped up multiple prizes, including the 2018 MIPA Award, the TEC Award, and the IBC Best of Show 2018 – an astonishing achievement considering that Adam's T models are very much situated at a budget-friendly price point. In 2020, the series was expanded to include this larger model, complete with an eight-inch woofer, which just like the rest of the series is engineered in Germany and offers a quality usually only available with significantly more expensive speakers.

The ART of the tweeter

ART (short for Accelerated Ribbon Technology) is the special ingredient in all of the Adam T series speakers; its key effect is to make it easier for producers to listen to music at working volumes without ear fatigue. How? The tweeter's pleated ribbon construction reduces breakup and keeps distortion to a minimum, as well as delivering a greater dynamic range, because its effective surface area is 2.5 times larger than that of comparable dome tweeters. In addition, this unique feature also ensures the tweeter is direct and responsive even at the highest frequencies and for the most complex transients, contributing to the monitors' linear frequency response of 33Hz to 25kHz. Finally, the cabinets' acoustically optimised design, with their characteristic bevelled edges, complements the visibly corrugated tweeter to give the speakers a very striking appearance.

Bedroom beatmakers & home studio hobbyists

Given the number of awards that Adam's T series speakers have picked up, and indeed their countless satisfied customers, these speakers continue to offer a price–performance ratio that makes them a real bargain. This combination of quality and affordability is precisely why the entire T series is perfect for all semi-professional producers, singer-songwriters, and bands looking to equip their studios with high-quality monitor speakers that won't break the bank.

About ADAM Audio

ADAM Audio was founded in Berlin in March 1999 and has since been involved in the development, manufacture, and distribution of speakers specifically aimed at the professional audio industry. The company was founded following the development of the X-ART tweeter, itself based on the Air Motion Transformer created by Oscar Heil in the 1960s. Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors (ADAM) has rapidly set new standards in the world of studio monitors. The company employs over 50 people in its Berlin factory, is distributed in over 75 countries, and has sales offices in both the USA (Nashville) and the UK. The list of renowned studios using ADAM monitors is long and still growing. ADAM Audio has been part of the Focusrite Group since 2019.

Perfect for home studios

Musicmakers who are looking for a set of monitor speakers for their home studio but only have a limited budget at their disposal would do well to take a closer look at the Adam Audio T8Vs. In this price range, buyers will be hard pressed to find a better option, and the difference between these and ordinary hi-fi or computer speakers (or headphones, for that matter) will become obvious during the first mixing session – if not before. These speakers respond to even the smallest tweaks in EQ and other parameters, so mixes can be analysed in immense detail. Users looking to upgrade their setup later on can, of course, also add a subwoofer or even create a complete surround sound system.

In the spotlight

ART – Accelerated Ribbon Technology

Unlike conventional dome or cone tweeters that use a piston action to move air and reproduce sound, Adam Audio's ART tweeters (manufactured in X-ART, S-ART, and U-ART versions, the latter of which is used in all the T series monitors) use a pleated ribbon that moves air four times faster, hence the name Accelerated Ribbon Technology.
