ADAM Packs Big Sound into a Compact Active Monitor!
The ADAM A5 active monitor provides full sound from a small footprint, making it great for studio use, desktop production, even as part of a 5.1 surround system. Based on the same quality components and construction of ADAM's popular A7, the A5 model uses a 5" woofer and ART ribbon tweeter, with two 25-watt amplifiers supplying clean power. In addition to XLR and RCA inputs, this monitor includes innovative Stereolink connections for flexible control. Front panel controls put command of the ADAM A5 right at your fingertips.

ADAM A5 Active Monitor with Folded Ribbon Tweeter at a Glance:

Building on the A7's legacy
Little speaker, big sound
Stereolink connectivity

Building on the A7's legacy
Technically, the A5 is a smaller version of the A7, and can be used either in stereo or to fill out a 5.1 surround system. Powered by 2 x 25W on-board amplifiers, the A5 combines ADAM's renowned ART (Accelerated Ribbon Technology) folded ribbon tweeter with a 5" woofer constructed of a carbon fiber and Rohacell sandwich.

Little speaker, big sound
The front of the A5 sports dual ports for surprising low frequency response down to 55Hz (can be extended to 30Hz with the addition of the new compact Sub7 subwoofer), metal grills for added durability, as well as power and gain controls. The rear panel includes balanced XLR jacks, unbalanced RCA jacks, and Stereolink connections.

Stereolink connectivity
An exclusive technology of the A5, Stereolink gives you two additional in- and outputs for the second stereo channel which enable the user to adjust the volume of both loudspeakers with one control only. Unlike the classic 'master-slave' technology, the Stereolink allows both speakers to be the 'master'.

ADAM A5 Active Monitor with Folded Ribbon Tweeter Features:

Tweeter: ART tweeter
Velocity transfer ratio: 4:1
Woofer: 5"
Woofer material: Rohacell/carbon fiber
Built-in amplifiers: 2 x 25W RMS
Frequency response +/-3dB: 55Hz-35kHz
Inputs: balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA
Weight: 11 lbs
Magnetically shielded
Height x Width x Depth: 11.2" x 6.8" x 7.9"

The ADAM A5 leaves a small footprint but packs a big punch!

Customer Reviews

Redefining high definition
by Richard Laskey from Cambridge, MA, September 23, 2008
Music Background: Sound artist

“Until you listen to a pair of Adam monitors in person, you don't know what you're missing. The ribbon tweeter and the carbon fiber cone are simply outstanding, and they offer more detail and definition than anything else in their price point. While the A5s aren't quite as loud as the bigger A7s, they offer more than enough headroom and are also smaller to give you more room in your studio. If you...” Read More
