Adam Audio A4V Active Studio Monitor Overview
Compact 4-inch nearfield studio monitor with a pristine, transparent sound and powerful DSP-based tuning.
Compact Monitoring
The Adam Audio A4V is a 2-way studio monitor ideal for mixing, producing and podcasting. The A4V features a broad 52 Hz to 45 kH frequency response, allowing you to experience a true image of your music. Offered at a more affordable price point than the larger A7V, the A4V delivers crystal-clear sound with exceptional accuracy in a compact form factor. The A4V active studio monitor’s size is ideal for producers, engineers and artists working in smaller control rooms or home studios where space is limited.
Revolutionary Technology
The 4-inch long-throw woofer and the innovative X-ART tweeters provide a detailed and honest representation of your mix. The accelerated ribbon tweeter design gives you stellar high-frequency performance, unlike any other studio monitor, delivering extreme dynamics throughout the frequency spectrum and minimal distortion. The woofer is crafted from MLM (multi-layer mineral stone fibres) and paired with a 1-inch voice coil for truly rugged durability, consistently robust sound response and solid imaging no matter where you’re positioned.
Easy Positioning
The vertical design makes positioning the Adam Audio A4V active monitor a breeze, gives you clear imaging characteristics and a wide sweet spot suited to nearfield monitoring. Whether you place the A4V on your desk, shelf or monitor stand, you can easily fit it into your studio space. While the A4V is perfect for smaller studios and nearfield monitoring, the built-in DSP tuning provides you with the freedom to adapt it to different room environments and get the most out of your monitor.
A Control & Sonarworks Integration
Recently, ADAM Audio launched their A Control software. This revolutionary free software gives you real-time and remote control of the advanced DSP within each A Series monitor. With A Control, you can intuitively tailor your A Series monitors to your studio space. There are plenty of room adaptation and voicing options at your disposal. Any changes you make in A Control can be experienced in real time so you can instantly hear the difference between the calibrated and uncalibrated audio.
In addition, A Control lets you upload and store your Sonarworks SoundID calibration profiles directly to the DSP. This saves you from having to run the separate SoundID reference app or additional DAW plugin. Not only does this make things more convenient, but it also lightens the CPU load and reduces latency. Once your SoundID Reference calibration has been transferred to the monitor, you’re all set! No software or network cables are needed.
If you own an ADAM Audio A Series studio monitor, you can access an extended 60-day trial of SoundID Reference and explore this powerful functionality. Simply register it in the MyAdam area of the ADAM Audio website. The ADAM Audio team will then email you a license. It’s important that you get ahold of a measurement microphone, as it’s required to create a calibration profile in SoundID reference.
The Adam Audio A4V features a small footprint and can be sonically tailored to your studio, making it perfect for producers and mixers that want pro-quality monitoring in a compact studio.
