| | Today's Review | ADAM Audio F Series Studio Monitors
By Strother Bullins, Editor of Pro Audio Review
Over the past decade, ADAM Audio has cut a wide swath into the studio monitor marketplace. Due to the proprietary Accelerating Ribbon Technology (ART) utilized in its folded ribbon tweeter designs, ADAM Audio is fairly equated with a natural, aurally pleasing and extended high frequency response (at a generally higher-end price point, too). Now, as low as $250 street per box (the F5), we could assume that the lowest-priced-ever ADAM monitor line—the F Series featuring ART, with an even further "eXtended" frequency response of "up to 50kHz"—is somehow a fair step down in capability and quality, too.

By Clive Young
It's been a time of changes in pro audio—one filled with new beginnings, like Harman buying AMX, and endings, such as Todd-Soundelux filing for Chapter 11 and reportedly having its Oscars repossessed (apparently awards given to companies go back to the Academy if the companies close down—who knew?). But the most public change has been the acrimonious falling out between major MI/pro audio retailer Guitar Center and major MI/pro audio manufacturer Music Group, which owns the Behringer, Bugera, Midas, Turbosound and Klark-Teknik brands. Business relationships end all the time; whether for good reasons or bad, it happens and usually you don't hear about it. That didn't happen this time. More »
