In my own private production space, I simply switched the ADAM A7 pair with my personal standard, a pair of KRK VXT8 midfield studio monitors. The front panel provides a two LED logo panel a green LED lights when power is on a red LED lights in Standby, or low power mode, with its automatic signal sensing feature. Controls include rotary +/-6dB shelving filter knobs, set at 5 kHz and 300 Hz, respectively rotary level control, to +6dB (+12dB for SubF) and-recommended for use with a subwoofer-80Hz high-pass filter on/off switch. The F7 features comprehensive analog input options-combo XLR/TRS and RCA jacks a present RCA input automatically disables XLR/TRS input. #ADAM AUDIO F7 SERIES#The F Series cabinetry is made of an attractive, scratch-resistant MDF (medium-density fiberboard) of industry-standard level quality. Also available is the F Series’ SubF subwoofer featuring an 8-inch woofer and 110 W of Class A/B mono amplification at 107 dB SPL within a compact, 21.8 lb., 14” x 10” x 13.5” cabinet (the FSub was not included in this review package). An F7 pair provides a maximum acoustic output of 109 dB SPL. The smaller F5 is available, different only by its woofer’s 5-inch diameter, a slightly smaller cabinet and 25 W/25 W amplifier. Reviewed here, the F7 is ADAM Audio’s larger of its two F Series full-range loudspeakers, featuring a 7-inch fiberglass/paper woofer and ART tweeter, powered by a Class A/B dual channel amplifier (35 W of continuous power transducer). Yet from what I’ve experienced, that assumption would be wrong while the company does utilize Chinese manufacturing plants to assemble the F Series, its design, components, specifications and performance are spot-on for this aspirational German manufacturer. Now, as low as $250 street per box (the F5), we could assume that the lowest-priced-ever ADAM monitor line-the F Series featuring ART, with an even further “eXtended” frequency response of “up to 50 kHz”-is somehow a fair step down in capability and quality, too. Due to the proprietary Accelerating Ribbon Technology (ART) utilized in its folded ribbon tweeter designs, ADAM Audio is fairly equated with a natural, aurally pleasing and extended high frequency response (at a generally higher-end price point, too). Over the past decade, ADAM Audio has cut a wide swath into the studio monitor marketplace.
