★The birth of the smallest Adam★ The best sound on a desktop! Introducing the ADAM Audio D3V monitor speaker, delivering ADAM Audio sound in the smallest possible size. The D3V is a compact desktop monitor speaker designed for artists, composers, content creators, and music fans who want to enjoy ADAM Audio's high-quality sound in a PC environment. It incorporates traditional German industrial design and features ADAM's signature gold ribbon tweeter. It's available in two colors: black and white. Each speaker is equipped with a 3.5-inch aluminum woofer (with ferrite magnet) and passive radiators (3.5 inches on each side) driven by an 80W amplifier, allowing for incredible bass reproduction down to 45Hz. For high-frequency reproduction, the speakers are equipped with a 1.5-inch D-ART tweeter (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter), which utilizes ADAM Audio's 25 years of experience in developing ribbon tweeters, providing the accurate, ear-friendly sound that ADAM Audio is renowned for. The D3V, which has a built-in amplifier, also features a USB-C input, allowing you to play music simply by connecting it directly to a PC. It can also easily connect to mobile devices via USB-C, allowing you to enjoy high-quality music playback without loss of sound quality, even without a PC or audio interface. In addition to the USB digital input, it also features a 1/4-inch TRS balanced input, allowing you to connect analog devices. The back of the left speaker has a switch that allows you to adjust the DSP acoustics to suit your room or desk size, and the front has a volume knob and headphone jack. The volume knob supports multiple functions, such as switching audio inputs and muting. The D3V comes with a detachable stand that allows you to point the speaker toward the listener's ears, and it also has a screw hole on the bottom for mounting on a microphone stand. ■Feature Details Accurate and musical reproduction capabilities condensed into the Adam sound. Optimized for its design using a high-performance speaker measurement system from German company Klippel, the D3V features a highly symmetrical voice coil and ferrite magnet, minimizing unwanted distortion and ensuring linear operation of the woofer. The one-piece concave cone, made from thick aluminum, has a wide, linear operating range, providing uncolored sound even at very high output levels. The D3V is a fully active design with four independent amplifier channels and DSP-managed crossovers. The woofer is driven by an 80W amplifier, with the amplified signal sent to the right speaker via a link cable. The D-ART Tweeter is the result of a quarter century of ADAM Audio research and development into ribbon tweeters. The high-performance 1.5-inch D-ART tweeter is the result of a quarter century of research and development into ribbon tweeters. The diaphragms are hand-folded and each unit is driven by a 40W amplifier. As with tweeters used in other ADAM Audio series, the D-ART uses highly precise DSP crossover tuning. Incredible low-frequency reproduction beyond its size The D3V features two passive radiators per speaker, for a total of four radiators for low-frequency reproduction throughout the system. Each radiator is constructed from stainless steel for optimized working mass and features specially stabilized, long-stroke rubber edge suspension. This interacts with the main woofer to deliver a deep, extended frequency response and contributes to the overall system SPL. Easy high-quality sound playback with USB-C connection The D3V is ADAM Audio's easiest-to-use monitor speaker, featuring plug-and-play connectivity via USB-C. Connecting directly to a computer, smartphone, or tablet functions as a digital-to-analog converter, eliminating the need for an audio interface. This digital connection allows for high-quality audio playback without the compression and conversion typically associated with traditional desktop monitor speakers. DSP acoustic correction transforms your room into a precise listening environment.The back of the left speaker has three switches for achieving a precise listening environment. "POSITION" takes into account the speaker's position in the room, "DESK" the size of the desk in front of the speaker, and "ROOM" the presence or absence of sound-absorbing treatment in the room, allowing you to optimize the sound with a simple switch operation. Balanced analog inputs for greater expandability In addition to the USB-C input, the D3V also features a balanced analog input, supporting traditional analog audio playback. This allows you to directly connect analog output signals from hardware such as synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, and DJ mixers, as well as the balanced output of an audio interface. Switching between the USB-C input and analog input can be done by pressing the volume knob on the left speaker. Convenient headphone output and included stand The D3V is designed for functionality and convenience. Connecting headphones to the front-panel headphone output automatically switches playback to the headphones. It also includes a removable monitor stand with a 15-degree tilt. Additionally, each speaker has a standard 3/8-inch screw hole on the bottom for mounting to a microphone stand. Designed in Germany - Functional beauty in pursuit of sound The D3V enclosure is constructed from high-quality injection-molded ABS polycarbonate, with thick walls and ample reinforcement to prevent vibration and unwanted resonance. The rounded shape reduces unwanted diffraction in the high frequencies and continues Adam's long-standing industrial design tradition. ■ Warranty 2-year standard warranty Warranty can be extended to 5 years by registering in the My ADAM user area ■What's Included: ・One D3V right monitor ・One D3V left monitor ・Two D3V angle stands ・Six D3V desktop pads ・One 2-meter loudspeaker link cable ・One D3V power supply unit and power cable ・One 1-meter USB-C to USB-C cable ・One USB-C to USB-A adapter ・Quick start guide and safety and warning sheet■Technical specifications Acoustic characteristics Frequency response (-3 dB): 48 - 22.6k Hz・Frequency characteristics (-6 dB): 45 - 23.2k Hz・Maximum SPL (1 m, 100 - 6k Hz, 3% THD): 92 / 96 dB SPL Crossover frequency: 4.0 kHz Driver Passive Radiator Basket Diameter: 2 x 3.5 inches Woofer Cone Material: Single-Piece Aluminum Woofer Basket Diameter: 3.5 inches Woofer Voice Coil Diameter: 1 inch (25 mm) Woofer grill: painted steel Tweeter type: D-ART Tweeter velocity transform ratio: 4:1 Audio Input/Output Connectors Analog Connectors: 2 x balanced 6.3 mm jacks Maximum Input Level: +9 dBu・Digital connector: USB Type C Digital Audio Signal: USB 1.1 compatible Supported Sample Rates: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz Bit depth: 24-bit Headphone output connector: 3.5 mm TRS mini-jack Headphone output impedance: 32 ohms Signal Processing: AD Converter: 24-bit; Internal Sample Rate: 48 kHz Internal processing bit depth: 28-bit Latency: 4.0 ms Protection: Independent peak and thermal limiters for each driver, amplifier thermal limiter Amplification/woofer amplifier: PWM - Peak (10% THD): 2 x 80 W - RMS (1% THD): 2 x 70 W Tweeter amplifier: PWM - Peak (10% THD): 2 x 40 W - RMS (1% THD): 2 x 30 W Control options (via backplate) Input Sensitivity: 0 dBu = 88 dB SPL at 1 m @ 0 dB level setting Level Adjustment: Volume knob adjusts speaker and headphone outputs from -∞ dB to +6 dB Volume Knob Press Functions: Mute, Standby, Input Select, Channel Swap Input Selection: Analog, USB-C Channel Order: Normal, L/R Swap Backplate Room Adaptation (Bass): 0, -3, -6 dB Backplate Room Adaptation (low-mid and midrange): 0, -3, -6 dB, 0, -2, -4 dB Backplate Room Adaptation (Treble): 0, -1.5, -3 dB Remote control option connector: USB-C - Connection type: USB 1.1 compatible General Data Display: Multicolor logo on front panel Cabinet Design: Dual passive radiators Cabinet Material: Painted ABS polycarbonate Mounting Options: Flat on a desk or speaker stand, angled 15 degrees upward with included feet, or mounted on a microphone stand via 3/8" threaded holes on the bottom of the cabinet AC Input Voltage: 100 - 240V, 50/60 Hz・Rated power: Maximum 60 W
