Adam Audio T8V Overview

The Adam Audio T8V 8 inch T-Series Active Nearfield Powered Studio Monitor is an affordable, professional 2-way powered studio monitor with an 8˝ woofer and ADAM Audio’s latest addition to the T Series. Designed around the same technology, features and build quality as its smaller siblings, the T8V provides best-in-class characteristics and sound performance.

The T8V impresses with a multitude of features that bring real benefits to the user: The U-ART tweeter’s 4:1 velocity transfer ratio, in combination with the new Class D amplifiers’ high dynamic range, yield respective max. peak SPL of 118 dB per pair. The tweeter, which extends up to 25 kHz, works as a team with the HPS Waveguide. This allows an optimal radiation of the high frequencies, which means the advantage of a more controlled, larger usable sweet spot during monitoring. With a bass extension down to 33 Hz, the T8V is especially suitable for users who produce bass-heavy music.

The T8V is the perfect studio speaker for those who have always wanted to work with an 8“ monitor from ADAM Audio, but where budgets have been insufficient.

• U-ART 1.9” Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter with HPS Waveguide
• Polypropylene 8” woofer and rear-firing bass-reflex port
• Cumulated Amp. Power RMS: 90 W
• Frequency Response: 33 Hz – 25 kHz
• Max. SPL Per Pair at 1 m: ≥118 dB

Product Feature:

U-ART 1.9” Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter

• Allows longer operation with fewer signs of fatigue
• Their breakup is prevented by the folded diaphragms, distortions are effectively reduced to a minimum
• Advanced dynamic range due to acoustically effective diaphragm surface that is 2.5 times bigger (compared to a classic tweeter according to the piston principle)

The air velocity ratio of 4:1 during the sound generation by folded U-ART membrane

Direct, fast response in the high-range even with complex transients

HPS waveguide from the S Series

• Makes dispersion more consistent and imaging more stable over a wider area
• Reduction of early reflections on the surfaces of, e.g. mixing consoles, desks, etc.

Lightweight polypropylene construction of the woofer

• Excellent transient response even at high sound levels without breakup of the diaphragm

Vertical 2-way system with 8” woofer

• High resolution of the stereo image

Spacious rear-firing bass reflex port

• Bass reproduction with very low compression

Linear frequency response of 33 Hz to 25 kHz

• Unbiased reproduction in a wide frequency band

Maximum peak sound pressure per pair in 1 m ≥ 118 dB

• Powerful, compression-free sound reproduction even at very high sound levels

DSP-powered crossover design

• Smooth frequency response without interferences between the drivers in the critical mid-range

Simple room acoustic adjustments via high- and low-shelf filters

• Allows optimal adaptation to acoustically difficult listening environments or individual preferences

Analog inputs over XLR and RCA

• Optimized for balanced and unbalanced line signals

Acoustically optimized cabinet geometry

• Reduction of unwanted reflections on the cabinets
