ADAM Audio A77H

Part of Adam's professional studio-grade A Series, the Adam A77H is a three-way monitor designed for midfield monitoring in recording studios. As the successor to the successful Adam A77X, it expands on that model's 2.5-way configuration. Sonically, the speaker will satisfy even the highest standards, delivering exceptional detail and spatial imaging across a frequency range of 34Hz to 45kHz. Bass reproduction is handled by two 7" woofers, complemented not only by a tweeter but, unlike its predecessor, also by a 3.5" midrange driver. The H in the model name stands for horizontal, as it's primarily designed for this position – but in fact its impressive width of over 53cm is unlikely to be an issue, as the rotatable waveguide with HPS technology allows the monitor to be positioned either horizontally or vertically. In addition, the integrated DSP enables users to adapt the A77H's output to the acoustic characteristics of the room.

The Adam A77H is a high-quality monitoring solution for professional studios, as well as for project studios with particularly demanding sonic requirements. Adapting the sound of an A77H unit to the acoustics of a control room is possible enitirely without external tools: The speaker's automated room adjustment function is handled by its integrated DSP and is based on algorithms from Sonarworks, a company renowned for its calibration software for speakers and headphones. This makes the monitor suitable even for control rooms whose geometry or equipment isn't necessarily optimised for monitoring purposes. To position the speaker in the studio (for which purpose four M8 mounting threads are provided), a stand or shelf capable of supporting its weight of just over 17kg (including its vinyl-coated MDF chassis and internal components) is required. Adam Audio is of course aware that monitors in this price range represent an investment, which is why they offer an extended five-year warranty on every unit.
