The single, Adam Professional Audio T-Series T5V is an affordable, high-quality, near-field, active studio monitor well suited for project studios, commercial recording facilities, and broadcast environments. The speaker features Adam's U-Art 1.9" accelerated ribbon tweeter with HPS waveguide and a 5" polypropylene woofer with a rear-firing bass-reflex port. The unit is bi-amped with 50W allocated to the woofer, while 20W powers the tweeter, which combine to provide a frequency response of 45 Hz to 25 kHz and a maximum SPL of 106 dB. The rear panel offers XLR and RCA connections with controls for input sensitivity, gain, high-shelf (-2, 0, +2 dB), and low-shelf (-2, 0, +2 dB). The Adam Professional Audio T5V ships with a power cord.

U-ART 1.9" Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter

• Allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue
• Breakup is prevented by the folded diaphragms, distortions are effectively reduced to a minimum
• Advanced dynamic range due to acoustically effective diaphragm surface that is 2.5 times bigger (compared to a classic tweeter according to the piston principle)

Air velocity ratio of 4:1 during the sound generation by folded U-ART membrane

• Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients

HPS waveguide from the S Series

• Makes dispersion more consistent and imaging more stable over a wider area
• Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of mixing consoles, desks, and more

Lightweight polypropylene construction of the woofer

• Excellent transient response even at high sound levels without breakup of the diaphragm

Vertical 2-way system with 5" woofer

• High resolution of the stereo image

Rear-firing bass reflex port

• Bass reproduction with very low compression

Linear frequency response of 45 Hz to 25 kHz

• Unbiased reproduction in a wide frequency band

Maximum peak sound pressure per pair in 3.3' (1 m) 106 dB

• Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels

DSP-powered crossover design

• Smooth frequency response without interference between the drivers in the critical midrange

Simple room acoustic adjustments via high- and low-shelf filters

• Allows optimal adaptation to acoustically difficult listening environments or individual preferences

Analog inputs over XLR and RCA

• Optimized for balanced and unbalanced line signals

Acoustically optimized cabinet geometry

• Reduction of unwanted reflections on the cabinets

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. This item shows up when filtering for AES inputs. But that seems incorrect. Does it have AES?

A: This unit does not include AES inputs. AES inputs are available on the 8330 and larger.

Q: 2. Did Rokit solve the black goo of death problem? I have a pair of Rocket 6s that are self destructing because of this goo.

A: KRK has not formally acknowledged the Black Goo Issue.

Q: 3. I assume these monitors cannot be used in the vertical orientation?

A: The A8H's waveguides can be rotated, allowing them to be used either horizontally or vertically.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Does it come in different colors?

A: This product is not offered in different colors.

Q: 6. Can this feed to my monitors? I don't have a sub ouput on my interface but want to add a subwoofer. What is the satellite output used for? Is that for my monitors that I want to daisy chain off of this sub??

A: Yes. You would connect your interface outputs to the Sub Inputs then Satelite Out to your speakers,

Q: 7. what is the ohm ratings for these speakers?

A: The input impedance rating for the Adam Professional Audio T8V T-Series Active Nearfield Monitor is listed as 10 kOhm / 20 kOhm.

Q: 8. 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

Q: 9. 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: 10. Does it come with the speaker grates?

A: Sorry, grates are not included.
