ADAM Audio was founded in Berlin in 1999 for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and distributing loudspeakers for professional audio applications. The company credits its founding to the development of the X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter, which was based on the invention of the Air Motion Transformer by German electrical engineer Oskar Heil, way back in the 1960s.
The technology uses a pleated diaphragm (rather than a piston-shaped diaphragm) which is able to move air four-times faster than the folds themselves are moving. This is coupled with modern materials such rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm foils, and makes for a tweeter design that is both transparent and highly-defined. S-ART tweeter improves further on this concept, while the solid-aluminium HPS and MPS Waveguides make for consistent imaging over a wide area.
All ADAM Audio loudspeakers are made and tested by hand in their Berlin factory. As such, the build-quality and accuracy of their studio monitors, subwoofers and headphones are second-to-none. ADAM (Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors) really is true to its name!
