Description

The D3V is a fully active desktop monitoring system designed for songwriters, producers, and music lovers who want to enjoy ADAM Audio sound quality as conveniently as possible. Available in white or black editions, the active monitors feature the iconic golden ribbon tweeter and stay true to ADAM Audio’s German industrial design heritage. Each active pair features 3.5” aluminum woofers and ferrite magnet system driven by 80 W amplifiers. The woofers are further complemented by dual-sided 3.5” passive radiators which allow the D3V to extend as low as 45 Hz. With 25 years’ experience working with ribbon tweeter technology, ADAM Audio has created a compact 1.5” D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter) so D3V customers can enjoy the precise and unfatiguing high-frequency reproduction that their established monitoring systems are known for. The D3V features a USB-C input which means the monitoring system behaves as a digital output device when connected to a computer and negates the need for an additional audio interface for playback. This plug’n’play functionality extends to mobile devices so high-quality audio can be enjoyed without the compression or conversion normally associated with such connections. The D3V also features balanced ¼" TRS inputs for more traditional analogue audio applications. The backplate of the left speaker features a range of user-friendly switches to address the common acoustical issues arising from speaker placement, while the front panel includes a headphone socket and volume knob that doubles as a control for the audio input selection, muting and other functions. The D3V comes complete with detachable monitor stands that are angled at 15° toward the users’ ears. Additionally, there is a standard threaded 3/8” hole for microphone stand mounting on the underside of both monitors.

  • Amazing Bass, High-End Detail and 3D Soundstage in a Tiny Speaker!
Style: D3V White
Astoundingly loud and detailed for being so tiny! The bass that comes out of these little things is hard to believe! The stereo field is very 3D. What you have to realize is that EACH speaker actually has 4 drivers - a ribbon tweeter, a woofer and 2 bass radiators (one on each side). That's EIGHT total drivers you get in just 2 tiny little speakers you can fit in a small backpack. Sure, they don't have Bluetooth, but these are professional audio tools, not consumer speakers. They're designed for professional music production. They're engineered to be highly accurate with a flat frequency response at very short distances. If you're looking for speakers just for casual listening and don't need reference-level reproduction and accuracy, you should get something else. These are total overkill for the average listener. That said, as mini monitors in any kind of professional or semi-pro application these things are unbeatable for the price! I have a pair of Dynaudio LYD48 speakers that cost $2,400 and while these little guys can't match them, they come surprisingly close for a tiny fraction of the price. I definitely feel comfortable producing music and mixing on them. I have them hooked up to my TV in my bedroom and it's turned what used to be just an entertainment center into a respectable audio production space. I love lying in bed with a wireless keyboard, mouse and Bluetooth MIDI controller and producing music on these things. They'd be great for a home DJ setup too. The latest firmware update allows you to disable the auto shut-off feature and solves the problem some users were experiencing with the high end being muted at low volumes. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I'll be taking these with me when I travel. They'd be perfect for working at small desks and in hotel rooms. ... show more

  • Crystal clear highs and deep fulfilling lows.
Style: D3V Black
First, Adam released the firmware update to stop standby mode in Feb 25. Outstanding performers! The only small speakers I’ve used that I feel like a sub is optional. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t get to 20hz, but they get deeper than any speaker I’ve tried this size. I feel like these are a great value too. You spend $100-150 for a good amp, that would leave you at most $200 to get a pair of speakers, and I couldn’t find anything of this caliber close to that price. I am going to add a sub, but I’ll probably cross these pretty low. I just ordered another set to do a powered surround sound setup. Cons: 1. No auto-sense connection, you must double press the volume button to change to USB-C input. 2. A proprietary speaker interconnect cable. I can’t be too upset, as I appreciate that data and power are consolidated into a single cable. Pro: 1. Stellar sound! These speakers actually thump, which I was finding impossible for this size at any price point. I almost went with the the SVS Prime Sarellites, but they were bigger, required separate amplification, and more expensive overall . These are a perfect size for near-field. 2. The ability to change the DSP to match the room. 3. Ability to turn off the auto standby, though I’m currently using the standby. I just hook my iPhone up to it USB-C to USB-C and jam out. Unplug my phone and walk off. 20 minutes later they go into standby 4. The physical size is perfect for a desk, but I’m using them on a sim rig surround sound. 5. Zero listening fatigue. Instead of turning these down after 30 minutes because your ears are getting tired, you’ll still have these cranked up. ... show more

  • An Outstanding Montor Speaker for Near Field Listening
Style: D3V Black
These are absolutely the finest speakers for their size and cost that I have ever listened to. I purchased them to use as monitors for my Yamaha Genos2 and Ketron EVM keyboard setup. The speakers produce a tight well controlled bass output that is far greater than one would ever imagine based on their size alone. This is no doubt due to the innovating dual ported setup on each speaker. The mid-range is smooth and flat to within 3dB and the treble is sweet and high with no sense of distortion at all. There are countless reviews on YouTube of these speakers and visually all of them are highly positive. Try a pair of and you will see why. Beautifully constructed and a bargain. ... show more

  • Great Sound Quality!
Style: D3V Black
These are awesome! Lots of clean power; decent bass for little speakers; highs/vocals from ribbon tweeter sparkle; they play pretty loud in a small room. Limited connectivity compared to others, but does have headphone jack and volume knob on front of speaker. I use with computer for casual listening (not mixing music, etc.). If that's good for you, too, and you appreciate quality sound (and some volume) check these out! FYI: First bought Audioengine HD3s and loved them! In walnut they are gorgeous little jewels of speakers. Good sound quality, connectivity, Bluetooth-but if you turn up the volume the bass and treble start distorting. The Adams don't. The Adams do come with their own angled stands. ... show more
