Pre-NAMM New Gear Alert: S Series Monitors by ADAM, Antelope Interface with Massive I/O and More
NAMM 2017 will soon be upon us, and several of our favorite companies have announced some exciting new things. Here’s a few featured items slated for release on or near the big event:
ADAM Audio introduces the S Series, their new flagship range of nearfield, midfield and main studio monitors.
The new S Series by ADAM will be available in a wide array of sizes to fit any studio application.
The brand new S Series offers low distortion, new woofers and mid-range driver designs, and the debut of the S-ART tweeter — a newer, more precise version of ADAM’s renowned X-ART hand-built tweeter. The S Series is comprised of five models of increasing size, the S2V, S3H, S3V and the largest-of-the-range S5V and S5H. Innovations created specifically for the S Series include: completely new, highly efficient long throw ELE™ Extended Linear Excursion woofers, one-piece DCH™ dome/cone hybrid mid-range driver for excellent dispersion, low distortion and high power handling, newly designed waveguides for the tweeter (and the mid-range driver on the largest models), and a high-power DSP engine, based on the very latest generation of SHARC chips.
It’s also worth nothing that ADAM is under new management. Chairman David Angress says “[We have] reenergized every aspect of the company [and] have employed [the] best engineering practices, modern materials technology and advanced DSP to create the new S Series.”
The S Series will be available in February 2017.
