Highlights

A Control Remote Software
The DSP-based functionality of all A Series monitors can be controlled remotely and in real time over ethernet using A Control.

Rotatable HPS Waveguide & X-ART Tweeter
Made from a new glass fiber polymer compound, the HPS waveguide enables the X-ART tweeter to disperse sound in space with controlled consistency.

Bass Reflex System, Cabinets and Mounting
The new A Series cabinets build on the heritage of ADAM Audio and the AX Series in particular.

Automated Room Correction with Sonarworks
ADAM Audio is proud to partner with Sonarworks on an automated room correction solution that runs directly on the DSP of A Series monitors.
