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. -

Page 6: Introducing T Series
Since its launch in 1999, Berlin-based ADAM Audio has fast gained international prominence and respect as a manufacturer of reliable and highly accurate reference monitors. This reputation and performance has led to ADAM Audio monitors being used by engineers in top recording studios around the world. A key component yielding the monitors’... - Page 7 while a 50 W amp serves the woofer. The new Class D amps, in combination with the U-ART’s powerful 4:1 velocity transfer ratio [the tweeter’s ability to move air four times as much as other designs], let you listen at very loud levels without listening fatigue. DSP-controlled driver crossovers ensure there are no holes at the crossover frequency between drivers—when mixing, what you hear is what you get.

Page 8: Optimal Placement Of Your Monitors
3. OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF YOUR MONITORS The T Series monitors’ small footprints allow placement anywhere in your room, no matter how small. 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. - Page 9 Ideally, you’ll want your monitors pointing down the length of the room so that the rear wall is as far away from your mix position as possible [see Fig. 2]; this will make the direct sound emanating from your monitors much louder than the sound bouncing off the back wall, thereby minimizing peaky-sounding comb filtering and preventing your T Series monitors’...
- Page 10 The monitors’ tweeters should be at ear level when you’re sitting at your mix position. 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.

Page 12: Rear-Panel Features
4. REAR-PANEL FEATURES [1] BASS-REFLEX PORT – The bass-reflex port works together with the monitor’s woofer to produce flat and extended bass response. [2] HF SWITCH – Use this switch to boost or cut the monitor’s high-frequency response by 2 dB. The “0” setting maintains flat response. [3] LF SWITCH –... -
Page 13: Audio Connections And Level Settings
5. AUDIO CONNECTIONS AND LEVEL SETTINGS Your T Series monitors need no external amplification, thanks to their built-in amplifiers. The monitors can be directly connected to mixing consoles and both balanced and unbalanced I/O boxes for DAWs. And because T Series monitors automatically accept 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. - Page 14 → While playing audio, fine-tune the Level control knob setting on each monitor to attain the listening volume you desire. If your monitors are placed properly in a symmetrical room [see Section 2 of this manual], the settings for the Level control knobs on both monitors should be the same to achieve equal playback volume and balanced imaging.

Page 15: Using The Hf And Lf Switches On The Rear Panel
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,”... - Page 16 Follow these basic guidelines for using the LF switch to change your T Series monitors’ bass response: → If your room’s layout dictates you must place your T Series monitors closer than 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.
