Quick overview

The Adam Audio A8H is a three-way Near to Midfield Speaker Monitor that features an 8-inch woofer designed and made using Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibres (same as what you would find on other A-Series speakers) and an Adam Audio precision X-ART tweeter. Together they produce a super-wide frequency response. As a result, the A8H monitor delivers exceptionally accurate and analytical sound required for a critical-listening environment.

  • 1 x 8-inch MLM mid-woofer
  • 1.5” voice coil
  • Rotatable HPS Waveguide & X-ART Tweeter
  • Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) Woofer
  • Mid-range Driver
  • Hybrid Amplifiers

The Adam Audio A8H is a three-way Near to Midfield Speaker Monitor that features an 8-inch woofer designed and made using Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fibres (same as what you would find on other A-Series speakers) and an Adam Audio precision X-ART tweeter. Together they produce a super-wide frequency response. As a result, the A8H monitor delivers exceptionally accurate and analytical sound required for a critical-listening environment.

The A8H provides detailed audio reproduction and would suit mid-to-full sized spaces perfectly. Moreover, there are numerous fine-tuning options and flexibility of sound adjustment through onboard applications such as DSP and in-built components like the HPS waveguide technology.

Rotatable HPS Waveguide & X-ART Tweeter

Adam Audio use HPS (High-Frequency Propagation System) waveguide technology enabling the tweeters to disperse sound with controlled consistency. The rotatable characteristic has been added to the A-Series, where the tweeters can be shifted in 90-degree steps. As a result, it means that whichever way up the speaker is placed (horizontally or vertically), the HPS waveguide technology will be in full action.

The Adam Audio X-ART tweeter is at the heart of the HPS waveguide, which is built using a new glass fibre polymer compound to produce clean sound and be free of unwanted resonance.

Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) Woofer

A lightweight, highly stable material has been used to construct the A-Series woofers, which contain a special blend of mineral stone fibres baked together. The drivers used are specific to that model, including the mineral composition, layering and geometry. Combine this technology with the new magnet system, and you have woofers that produce high output with low distortion, thus delivering a clean low-end.

Midrange Driver

Dedicated drivers for midrange assist with clearly identifying the lows and highs through eliminating the need for woofers to reproduce midrange frequencies, which in turn reduces distortion. The A-Series midrange drivers have been adapted from the innovative ADAM Audio DCH™ midrange driver that is used within the S-Series speakers. The drivers are designed to deliver clean sound within a critical part of the frequency range where humans are most sensitive to colouration of sound.

Hybrid Amplifiers

The A-Series woofers are driven by Class D amplifiers that aid in producing high-quality sound whilst reducing distortion. The tweeters and midrange drivers are powered by Class AB amplifiers that offer a natural and smooth reproduction of high frequencies. It is worth pointing out that Adam Audio carried out extensive testing to discover the perfect components.

DSP-Based Electronics

The A-Series of speakers maximises the use of transformative power of DSP-based electronics, which allows for more precise tuning and improved predictability compared to analogue-only speakers. In addition, there is the option for the firmware to be updated via an Ethernet connection where the latest developments in technology will be available, including voicings, filter types and features.

Room Adaptation and Voicings

Four bands of room adaptation equalisation (Treble, Bass, Desk and Presence) can be found on the rear panel. Furthermore, each band is adjustable and offers over 100 tuning options to allow for the placement of a speaker and environmental factor adjustments.

There are ‘UNR’, ‘Pure’ and ‘Ext’ selections available. ‘UNR’ stands for ‘Uniform Natural Response™’, producing dynamic natural-sounding response curve of Adam Audio’s design (ideal for production, composition, song writing, and generally listening to fantastic music).

A Control (Real-Time Remote Control)

A Control is a free downloadable software that allows the DSP-based functionality to be remotely controlled in real-time over Ethernet. It can control several speakers at once and adjust monitor levels, equalisation, delay settings and other useful settings.

Room Correction and Sonarworks Integration

The A-Series of speakers have been designed to adapt to changing preferences, requirements and environments. An embedded platform from industry-leading company Sonarworks houses advanced filters used to aid the acoustics within a room and calibrate the speakers.

Bass Reflex System, Cabinets and Mounting

The speakers offer great flexibility in that they feature deeper bevelling to reduce diffraction, thicker baffle walls to strengthen the cabinets and reduce internal vibrations and a flared-port design that optimises airflow and reduces port noise. Additionally, all A-Series speakers include an underside mounting interface which provides extra flexibility when it comes to positioning.

Warranty

The Adam Audio A8H offers a 2-year standard warranty with an extension to a 5-year warranty upon registration in “My ADAM” User Area on the Adam Audio website.
