GearCast Video - ADAM Audio A7X 7" Near-Field 2-Way Active Studio Monitor Review

The predecessor to ADAM Audio's A7X, the A7, became the most famous of all ADAM monitors in a very short time. Not only has it been reviewed over three dozen times with outstanding results, it has also received numerous awards. The A7 quickly gained mass appeal, praised in many of the world's largest internet forums. Still today, the A7 are the reference monitors in many smaller studios.

The first aspect that distiguishes the old from the newer model is the X-ART tweeterDefinition:
A loudspeaker's high-frequency driver element.. The "X" stands for "eXtended frequency response" and thus for one of the features of the Accelerating Ribbon Technology that has been drastically improved: the frequency responseDefinition:
The range of frequencies that an audio, video or data device can pass.. It now extends all the way up to 50 kHzDefinition:
kHz (Kilohertz): 1,000 Hertz, or one thousand cycles per second.. In addition, the X-ART tweeter has a higher efficiency and higher maximum sound pressure levels.

The perfect integration with the lower frequencies has been achieved with a redesigned 7" midwoofer. It has a much bigger voice coilDefinition:

On the rear panel are several additional controls: a gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies.
