CONGRATULATIONS! ...on the purchase of your new ADAM Audio T Series monitors. Your T Series monitors are the culmination of two decades of research into advanced transducer, waveguide, amplification, DSP and loudspeaker cabinet technologies. The result is a professional reference monitor featuring rock-solid imaging, an eminently wide sweet spot, superi- or transient response, extended frequency response, and unmasked clarity and detail across the audio spectrum.

The U-ART tweeter is fitted to a new, precision waveguide that provides highly uniform dispersion of high frequencies. The result is an incredibly wide sweet spot that frees you from being glued to a rigid mix position while working. The T Series’ all- new polypropylene woofer and the cabinet’s rear-firing bass-reflex port together provide ultra-smooth, highly accurate midrange and extended bass response.

VERSATILE CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS On the rear side of each T Series monitor, a sturdy metal backplate is home to a comprehensive assortment of controls and analog input connections that adapt your monitors to virtually any professional system: →...
However, you’ll get the very best sound out of your monitors by placing them at optimal positions in your room. T Series monitors incorporate a nearfield design and should be placed on speaker stands, a console bridge or a desktop in relatively close proximity to [ideally about three feet from] your mix position.

T Series monitors’ precise imaging from being changed. Fig. 2 To avoid introducing unwanted boosts and dips in bass-frequency response, avoid placing each monitor so that its woofer is an equal distance from two or more nearby boundaries [for example, front and side walls, or a wall and floor].

If this isn’t feasible, angle the monitors up or down so that the tweeters are aiming at your ears [see Fig. 4]; we recommend sitting your T Series monitors on isolated speaker stands that can be adjusted to modify the tilt angle of your cabinets so that the tweeters are aiming at your ears.
[8] POWER SWITCH – Set this switch to the ON position to apply power to the monitor. An associated green LED will light when the monitor is turned on. [9] POWER CONNECTOR – Use this standard three-prong IEC AC power receptacle to connect the detachable AC cord to the monitor. T SERIES MANUAL [ENGLISH]...
AC mains voltages ranging from 100 to 240 V, at 50/60 Hz, you don’t have to fuss with selecting a correct voltage switch setting for safe operation. On the rear panel of your T Series monitor, an XLR connector and RCA jack respectively accept balanced +4 dBu and unbalanced -10 dBV nominal input levels. The XLR connector’s wiring follows the industry standard convention: Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is...

Please play complex program material through your T Series monitors for at least eight hours before using them on a critical project. → At the end of each session, turn off your T Series monitors before powering down any equipment connected to them.
6. USING THE HF AND LF SWITCHES ON THE REAR PANEL On the rear panel for each T Series monitor, two 3-way switches labeled “LF” and “HF” boost or cut the monitor’s respective high- and low-frequency responses by 2 dB. Each switch also provides a neutral middle position, labeled “0,”...

16 inches away from a wall, try setting the LF switch to the “-2 dB” position to compensate for such placement naturally boosting bass frequencies. → If you wish to listen to your T Series monitors with exaggerated bass response, set the LF switch to the “+2 dB” position.
If none of the above can be identified as the source of the problem, your speakers may be defective, in which case contact ADAM Audio or the local representative/distributor [see www.adam-audio.com for a list].
It is extremely difficult to protect your loudspeakers so that they can be shipped without damage if the original packaging is not available. We cannot accept responsibility for damages arising due to improper packaging being used when the loudspeakers are in transit. T SERIES MANUAL [ENGLISH]...
Waste Electrical/Electronic Equipment [WEEE]. We hope you won‘t be throwing your T Series speakers away for many years – but when the time eventually comes, please consult your local authorities for further information on how to safely dispose of them.
