Adam Professional Audio S3h Active Three-way 2x7" Midfield Studio Monitor (horizontal, Single)
- Product Code: ga49167
-
The S3H from Adam Professional Audio is an active studio reference monitor designed for horizontal orientation in medium-sized and smaller control rooms. Capable of delivering 1350W RMS of cumulative amp power, it features two 7” HexaCone woofers, one 4” dome/cone hybrid midrange driver, and a handmade folded-ribbon tweeter. The waveguides, Adam-designed mid- and high-range propagation systems (MPS and HPS), ensure a wide, stable sweet spot.
Developed for transparency, the S3H’s frequency response is an impressive 32 Hz – 50 kHz. A multitude of DSP options, from equalization to delay, are provided for tailoring the monitor to the room and to personal preferences. The back panel features an OLED display and a push-button/rotary encoder to allow modification of parameters. Connect a computer to the USB Type-A jack for convenient remote access to all the S3H’s settings.
Two inputs, balanced analog and AES3 digital, are available via XLR jacks. An XLR AES3 output is provided to route digital signal to the second monitor, necessary for correct digital signal flow. Vary input sensitivity and output level as needed. Load and save voicing presets for quick configuration of monitor options. If further tonal adjustments are desired, there is a 6-band parametric EQ with high-pass and low-pass filters. Use up to 5 ms of delay for timing adjustments.
Adam S Series monitors, custom-developed with no off-the-shelf components, are handmade in Berlin according to strict manufacturing tolerances.

Q: 6. I have a small studio/mix room (120 square feet/11 square meters). The room is acoustically treated, has a 5-foot X 6-foot ceiling cloud, and wall to wall carpet. I'm using Adam Audio A7X reference monitors. Would I be better suited using an Adam Sub 8 due to the smaller room size or the Sub10 to more closely match my A7X speakers?
A: Due to the room size, it may be more suitable to opt for the Adam Professional Audio Sub8 - 240W 8.5" Active Subwoofer as opposed to the larger Adam Professional Audio Sub10 MK2 - 200W 10" Active Subwoofer.

Q: 8. do each of the pair of speakers need do be connected to the computer by individual USBs in order to have remote access?
A: They do not. There is an XLR AES3 output is provided to route digital signal to the second monitor, necessary for correct digital signal flow.
Q: 9. Are monitors isolators included and why the warranty is 2 year and on manufacturer website is 5 year?
A: It is 5 year with registration with Adams-Audio. The isolators are NOT included:ADAM Audio USA:e-mail: usa-info@a href= http://adam-audio.com target= _blank adam-audio.com/a
Q: 10. Can I use it as desktop speakers?
A: Yes. These will work on a desktop. Isolation pads are usually a good option to ensure the desk does not resonate with the speakers. I would recommend using an audio interface for the best sound out of a computer, but a cable like this can be a less costly solution to output sound from a computer: https://bhpho.to/3yudNDe
