Adam Audio T5V – High-Resolution Monitoring on a Budget
The Adam Audio T5V is an active 2-way nearfield studio monitor designed to deliver professional-grade acoustic performance in a compact footprint. It features a 5" polypropylene woofer that provides bass extension down to 45 Hz, making it an excellent choice for music production, video post-production, and broadcast in smaller control rooms.
A standout feature is the 1,9" U-ART accelerated ribbon tweeter, which offers a pristine and extended high-frequency response of up to 25 kHz. The tweeter is paired with a precision waveguide that shares the same dispersion characteristics as the High-Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide found in Adam Audio's flagship S Series monitors. This creates a wide, uniform sweet spot, allowing you to move freely without losing accurate sonic imaging.
The T5V's cabinet features a small footprint with beveled edges and a rear-firing bass reflex port, facilitating easy placement in tight spaces. Internally, the monitor utilizes DSP-controlled crossovers and equalization. Power is delivered by high-efficiency Class-D amplifiers: 50 W for the woofer and 20 W for the U-ART tweeter, capable of reaching peak levels of 106 dB SPL per pair.
With balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, along with High-Shelf and Low-Shelf EQs (+/- 2 dB), the T5V can be easily integrated into any studio environment and tuned to compensate for room acoustics.
