ADAM Audio A7V

I got these as an upgrade to the previous A7X, and have been using the A8X. A77X and original A7 before along with other brands, such as Genelecs, Yamahas, KRK etc.. The detailed high-end really sets Adam apart from the rest!! The A7v voicing feature is really amazing, having them on the UNR-setting almost eliminates the need for a subwoofer! They sound really big and with a punchy low end, and seem a lot bigger than they are. The ethernet-functionallity is the main reason for my upgrade, being able to tune the speakers to my room with Sonarworks, and having it run in the speakers built-in DSP is a unique feature.

Update: having tried the Sonarworks integration i ended up manually tuning them using REW and a measurement mic. Love the control you have with the internal PEQ. Loving them so much that i´m thinking about upgrading to the A8h - keeping the sound but upgrading to a bigger 3-way... Pricey though.

A pair of A7V’s have replaced a pair T7V’s that had served me well for years.

Rave review after rave review of the new (at the time) A7V’s piqued my interest enough to give them a try. I have been using them now for almost a year and I am constantly hearing parts and details in recordings that I had missed for decades on other speakers.

The clarity and smooth output of these monitors , combined with the built-in SoundID room correction software, makes me confident my mixes no longer require checking on other systems.

I have dispensed with the extra Yamaha, JBL, and Event monitors I had been using for cross references in my relatively small space (11’ x 13’) and now rely exclusively on the A7V’s.

I can’t imagine a better nearfield monitor at this price point.

Got these for almost 11 months now. This is my 4th monitor speaker set. Previuos ones were:

1. JBL 305
2. Kali Audio LP-6
3. KRK Rokit RP5 G4

Soundwise these are perfect and way better than one of the other options I tried.

Pros:
- Perfect sound!
- There is no HISS sound no matter of the big speakers, ( KALI had really nasty HISS )
- LAN Cable Control is perfect, no more going behind desk with flashlight and clicking buttons as others
- They are not so large , and fit very well
- very good freq range: 41Hz - 42 000Hz
- Sonarworks integration

Cons:
- so far only one I found is that these lack auto power off function when not used. Thou for me this is not a problema since I don't like this option and I always have Power button on my desk for speakers only.
- Price, as this is premium speaker, I think it's fair , same price range as Genelec

I paired these with RME ADI-2 Pro and it's now a killer combo

I'm currently building my own studio and needed new studio monitors. I was looking into buying the A7Vs for a while and never found the right site to buy them from, which is when I came across Thomann.

They came perfectly packaged and sealed, and considering these had been coming from another country, the packaging was still 10/10.

I also spoke to the Thomann support team to get an update on my order, and they were really pleasant and very helpful. They gave me order updates and where the order is at the current time.

Overall, I have bought many items from Thomann, and they did not disappoint one bit. I know for all my future purchases for any equipment or gear. I'd chose Thomann everyday

The A7V sounds absolutely fantastic after calibrating them to my room and adjusting amplifier level in "A Control". Reaching down to 40Hz with no port noise at loud volumes and oh so sweet sounding ribbon tweeter.

Here's a Tip:
Register on Adam Audio website and downloaded the "A Control" software so you can adjust all the functions without reaching the back of the monitors. Lower the Level of each monitor in Advanced mode (separate from the physical volume knob on the back) which further lowers the already quiet self-hiss coming form the monitors, then increase the output level form your audio interface, the result is completely silent monitors except when audio is playing, excellent for quiet studios.

Tip 2:
There is no auto sleep function in the Adam A series and reaching the back of the monitors is inconvenient depending on the location. Put them on a separate power strip with a switch. Hit the switch at the end of the day. Easy!

Absolutely fantastic monitors, I hope they last me decades.
