If you’re looking for a two-way near-field monitor optimized for small control rooms or studios, the T5V, by Adam Audio, is a good choice. To begin with, the reasons are plenty: its affordability, robust characteristics, and small footprint. It has a 5″ woofer that extends to 45 Hz, and the new U-ART tweeter that goes up to 25 kHz. Moreover, the precision waveguide in this monitor is the same as the flagship monitor S Series from Adam Audio. As a result, it significantly provides a wide sweet spot. Therefore, it gives you the chance to still have a favorable reference of sound even if you’re not sitting on your mixing chair.
T5V: Features
Behind the T5V you’ll find a rear reflex port for firing bass and a build-in DSP controlled driver crossover, equalization, and multi-way analog connections. Particularly, a 50 Watt D class amp powers the subwoofer. Similarly, there’s a 20 Watt D class amp for the U-Art tweeter. Thus, it punches out a staggering 106 bB SPL per pair. Plus, this device’s acoustic characteristics are great; they really adapt well to small rooms and have an outstanding cost/value ratio. Experts recommend you to use them in video editing and production, radio broadcasts, and general audio.
Furthermore, you can manipulate the room acoustic adjustments of the monitors with a high and low shelf filter. In turn, this allows an optimal adaptation for difficult listening environments or rooms. In other words, it adapts to your individual needs or preferences. Additionally, the T5V has XLR and RCA inputs optimized for balanced and unbalanced line signals. A two-year warranty with Adam Audios’ optional three-year extension is available prior registration of the product.
We think you’ll have a hard time finding a small room or studio monitor that sounds like the T5V and has this design for a similar price tag.
