Adam Audio S2V

ADAM Audio S2V – Two-Way Nearfield Monitor

The ADAM Audio S2V is an active two-way nearfield monitor designed for small to medium-sized control rooms. It combines a 7-inch Hexacone woofer and a hand-built S-ART tweeter with an HPS waveguide for precise reproduction and a wide sweet spot. The integrated DSP manages crossover filters, limiter protection, and room tuning, while also providing an AES3 digital input and USB connection for configuration and firmware updates.

Overview and Features

The S2V is built as a compact yet powerful monitor delivering a total RMS output of 350 W. The 7” ELE bass driver covers the 35 Hz–3 kHz range, powered by a 300 W Class D amplifier, while the tweeter is driven by a 50 W Class A/B amplifier. Its custom DSP module optimizes crossover alignment for a linear frequency response, manages high-frequency protection, and allows user-adjustable EQ and voicing to suit different acoustic environments.
Digital signal processing is handled via the AES3 input, and software updates or configuration can be performed through the USB port.

Construction and Materials/Components

The tweeter is a German-made, hand-built S-ART unit with an HPS (High Precision) waveguide providing controlled dispersion and accurate stereo imaging. The newly developed 7” Hexacone woofer features a custom SMA magnetic assembly allowing greater voice coil excursion for extended dynamic range. The cabinet is engineered for rigidity and reduced resonance, with a rear-facing bass reflex port.

Connections and Integration

Integrated DSP with internal processing and user EQ

Control and Workflow

The DSP system manages crossover alignment, limiter protection, and parametric EQ. Users can perform room calibration and save voicing profiles via software interface.
Rear-panel controls include level adjustment, input configuration, and a USB connection for computer control.
