New Gear Alert: ADAM’s A Series Range, Waves x Germano Studios, FLkey Controllers by Novation & More

ADAM Audio Introduces the A Series range.

ADAM builds upon the success of their AX series monitors with the new A series range.

The A Series is the successor series of the multi-award-winning and long-time best-selling loudspeakers of the AX Series, delivering highly accurate, transparent sound across a full line of monitors that can be controlled remotely and in real time. Comprising five models, the A4V, A7V, A44H, A77H and A8H are the right fit for an array of professional and home studios, as well as broadcast, fixed-installation, 3D, immersive, and home audio environments.

The compact but powerful A4V is best suited to smaller studio environments, while the A7V continues the success story of ADAM’s most famous monitor, the A7X. With the other three new monitors, ADAM Audio is breaking new ground in this price range: The A44H offers a low-profile alternative to the A7V while delivering similar performance characteristics. With a 19-inch width, the horizontally oriented A44H can sit in a standard rack shelf or be mounted above or below a screen. An advanced successor to the A77X, the true three-way A77H is a loudspeaker that capitalizes on the latest ADAM Audio technologies to deliver a rich, spacious, and enveloping sound. The pinnacle of the A Series, the A8H is also a three-way design with a different form-factor that delivers the extremely accurate and analytical sound required for critical-listening environments.

Waves and Germano Studios New York join forces for the Waves Nx Germano plugin.

Don’t miss out on Waves’ new collaboration with Germano Studios New York.

Nx Germano Studios brings the A-list acoustics of the legendary Germano studio—originally known as The Hit Factory—to your own set of headphones. Monitor your mixes in a precise model of the iconic control room, complete with its custom-built stereo and surround monitoring systems, so you can create better mixes, anywhere, anytime.

For nearly five decades, major producers and artists—from rock and pop icons to hip-hop royalty—have flocked to Germano’s control room for their signature power, punch and club-worthy low end. The Waves Nx Germano Studios plugin reproduces the precise acoustic response of Germano’s Studio 1 control room, based on precision acoustic measurements combined with Waves Nx spatial technology consisting of channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays (ITD), filters (ILD), room reflections and head motion tracking.

Now you can check your mixes through Germano’s top-shelf stereo monitors: The NS10 near-fields, the custom Exigy S412G four-way system with dual 18-inch subwoofers, and the Germano Acoustics A2s. You can also mix for surround on headphones, with Germano’s 5.1 system equipped with five Germano Acoustics A2 speakers and subwoofer.

The Waves Nx Germano Studios New York plugin is available now for a special introductory promo price of $29.99 (reg. $49.99).
