Adam Audio A44H Nearfield Studio Monitor Overview

Audio professionals in need of a low-profile, high-quality nearfield monitor will be impressed with the Adam Audio A44H, a professional, dual 4″ 2-way studio monitor speaker that delivers rich, spacious, and enveloping sound, well suited for small studio spaces, short listening distances, and immersive multispeaker configurations. With a width of 19″, the A44H can sit on a standard rack shelf or be mounted above or below a display. It can also serve as a center speaker in immersive and 3D speaker configurations.

A 110W RMS Class-D amplifier powers the two 4″ Multilayer Mineral (MLM) woofers, while a 20W Class-AB amplifier drives the X-ART tweeter with HPS waveguide to provide an ultrawide frequency range. The rotatable High-Frequency Propagation System (HPS) waveguide technology and onboard DSP allow you position the monitor both horizontally or vertically, while fine-tuning the speaker to your precise requirements.

Rotatable HPS Waveguide and X-ART Tweeter

• ADAM Audio HPS (high-frequency propagation system) waveguide technology enables tweeters to disperse sound with controlled consistency, broad in the horizontal axis but tightly focused on the vertical plane. The A Series introduces a rotatable HPS waveguide design. You can shift A Series tweeters in 90-degree steps to continue to benefit from HPS waveguide technology, whether you position the speakers horizontally or vertically.
• The A Series HPS Waveguide is made from a new glass fiber polymer compound that helps create a clear sound, free of unwanted resonance. The ADAM Audio X-ART tweeter is at the heart of the rotatable HPS waveguide. Handmade in Germany, the X-ART tweeter provides a precise transient response and reproduces the finest sonic details. This X-ART tweeter is used in every A Series speaker, providing a detailed and consistent sound across the product line.

Multilayer Mineral Woofer

A Series woofers are constructed with a unique blend of mineral stone fibers that have been baked together to create a lightweight but highly stable material. The mineral composition, layering and geometry of each cone is specific to the driver used in each model. By combining this material with a new magnet system, A Series woofers produce high output with low distortion, delivering a clean low-end.

Hybrid Amplification

• The A Series combines the best of both digital and analog worlds. The woofers are driven by a Class-D amplifier that helps produce linear performance while reducing distortion. The amplifier was chosen specifically for its power and efficiency, in terms of both energy consumption and sound reproduction. Low thermal dissipation allows for a smaller heat sink, which facilitates additional investment in the exceptional power and performance of the A Series.
• The tweeter is powered by a Class-AB amplifier, which offers a smooth, natural reproduction of high frequencies. The amplifier is optimized for its working range, resulting in a fine-tuned, properly aligned speaker. To reach this point, ADAM Audio carried out extensive measurements and listening sessions, trialing countless amplifiers and amplifier components.
