ADAM Audio A4V

I've purchased them as a replacement for my Adam T5V, mostly because of the smaller size. I use them on my desk in a well-treated acoustically room.

I must say, that the low frequencies are very poor compared to Adam T5V. If you listen to T5V and A4V side-by-side, you can hear that there is almost no bass with A4V :(

There are buttons on the back side of the speaker, technically they should increase the bass and the treble, but those buttons has close-to-0 effect. They almost do nothing.

I want to emphasis that I only compare those A4V speakers to cheaper T5V variant and I must say - A4V are not worth the money absolutely. Do not get tricked with the "A-series marketing", A4V will disappoint you if you upgrade from T-series.

If with T5V I did not have to purchase a sub-woofer, with A4V now I have to, the sound is very flat.

So TLDR:
- very overpriced product
- poor low-frequency response compared to other similar cheaper monitors


If you are a big fan of "flat frequencies" - you are probably going to like it, but there are significantly cheaper alternatives.

Ich höre die A4Vs aus <1 m entfernung beim komponieren an meinem keyboard. Sie scheinen einfach perfekt zu sein. Ich habe die erfahrung gemacht, dass grössere lautsprecher in der kurzen entfernung mich eher ermüden. (alte Adam boxen mit 6 inch woofer). Eingemessen und korrigiert auf mein studio , mit SoundID, habe ich ein perfektes "flat" monitoring für meinen mix mit den A4V. Die speaker haben ausreichend bass, ein kleines wunder! Ich habe Adam Audios "A Control" installiert. Die korrekturkurven in der A4V abzulegen ist ideal, da die aktivierung von SoundID auf dem computer immer wieder neu initiiert werden muss. Dank SoundID kann ich in den A4V auch den sound der kleinen Auratone boxen simuliren. Viel geld gespart...
