Low-profile low end

Part of Adam Audio's professional studio-grade A Series, the Adam A44H is an active nearfield monitor for a really low bottom end. With its tweeter, two woofers, and dual bass reflex ports, it offers a frequency response from 46Hz all the way up to an incredible 45kHz. The integrated DSP enables precise sound optimisation for any listening environment – owners of an A-series monitor have free access to Adam's A Control software, which offers intuitive and yet fine-grained control over all their devices' parameters. Connected to a computer (Windows or MacOS) via a simple network cable, the speakers can be minutely calibrated. Other high-end A Series features include the tweeter's special waveguide, which provides controlled sound dispersion – for accurate mixes right in the sweet spot. The unique material composition of the woofer is also designed to ensure minimal distortion even at high output levels. Adam Audio has delivered the goods yet again with this low-profile, affordable solution for high-quality nearfield studio monitoring.

Adam Audio A44H, active nearfield monitor

Designed for effective sound

The Adam Audio A44H nearfield monitor is, as its name suggests, fitted with two 4" woofers, which are driven by 1" voice coils. The woofer cones are composed of several layers of a precisely engineered mineral fibre composite, which together with the woofers' specially developed magnets gives the A44H a remarkably clear and powerful bass response. Adam's proprietary X-ART tweeter uses a special HPS (High-Frequency Propagation System) waveguide for controlled sound dispersion: At the crossover frequencies, it also ensures horizontal alignment with the woofer's dispersion, creating a stable stereo image and a larger sweet spot. On the vertical plane, similarly, reflections caused by the rest of a studio's equipment are reduced. To prevent unwanted resonances, the waveguide is made from a special low-resonance glass-fibre composite.

Controls on the rear of the Adam Audio A44H, active nearfield monitor

Acoustically optimised for any acoustics

On the rear panel of the Adam Audio A44H, users will find not only an XLR, an RCA, and a network connection, but also a four-band equaliser equipped with RGB LEDs that indicate the selected settings, which include options to boost the bass by 2dB or cut it by 2dB or 4dB. Another button allows producers to select voicings for the frequency response: While UNR offers listeners a slightly coloured response for an accessible, vibrant sound, Pure provides a wholly neutral and linear response for uncompromisingly accurate monitoring. Selecting Ext, in turn, allows users to patch in additional voicings via the A Control software, which requires a computer connection via the Ethernet port. A Control is also capable of many further filter adjustments to optimise the sound for any listening environment.

Professional monitoring

The Adam A44H is a low-profile nearfield monitor designed for a wide range of professional applications. Music producers are the key target audience here, as the A44H provides a flexible solution for monitoring their mixes: It offers not only a linear and neutral frequency response for precise mastering, but also a more contoured, musical sound profile, which is ideal both for reducing ear fatigue over longer sessions and for a sense of consumer listening settings. Thanks to the rotatable waveguide design, the tweeter can be rotated by 90° or 180°, enabling very flexible installation even in smaller spaces; the central speaker makes the A44H especially suited to multichannel or 3D audio setups. The integrated DSP is also well-equipped to ensure optimum sound adjustment to the room's acoustics. And with its extended frequency range of up to 42kHz, the Adam A44H is capable of accurate work on even the most audiophile productions.

About Adam Audio

ADAM Audio was founded in Berlin in March 1999 and has since been involved in the development, manufacture, and distribution of speakers specifically aimed at the professional audio industry. The company was founded following the development of the X-ART tweeter, itself based on the Air Motion Transformer created by Oscar Heil in the 1960s. Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors (ADAM) has rapidly set new standards in the world of studio monitors. The company employs over 50 people in its Berlin factory, is distributed in over 75 countries, and has sales offices in both the USA (Nashville) and the UK. The list of renowned studios using ADAM monitors is long and still growing. ADAM Audio has been part of the Focusrite Group since 2019.

Calibrated individually

The Adam A44H's already comprehensive options for sound optimisation - via the four-band equaliser on the rear of unit, as well as the filter settings in the A Control software - are complemented by a nice additional feature here: The package includes a 60-day trial version of Sonarworks SoundID Reference software, which allows calibration curves to be loaded onto the Adam A44H's DSP, to optimise the sound to the listening environment - which can be measured in advance. During this optimisation process, the monitor's DSP handles the processing, leaving more computing power available for the more important production tasks. Room measurement requires a microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern (sold separately): For particularly accurate measurements, the use of a dedicated measurement microphone is recommended.
