ADAM Audio S2X - Single

The ADAM S2X brings together the virtues of the ‘classical’ 7” woofer and tweeter combination by using ADAM innovative technologies and top-class materials.

The HexaCone™ 7” woofer is driven by a sophisticated magnet system with a 2” voice coil creating a greater linear excursion.  This produces more dynamics than one would assume in a monitor of such small proportions.  As a result, in addition to the unsurpassed audio quality of the X-ART and A/B amplifier combination, this monitor surprises the listener with a very powerful, deep, but always tight and precise low end.

Optional digital input
All SX-models (except the S1X) can be optionally retrofitted with a 24 bit/192 kHz D/A Converter featuring an AES/EBU (XLR) and a SPDIF (RCA) inputs as well as a R/L/Mono switch.

The front panel
Six controls can be found on the new front panel. Input sensitivity is handled by two controls.  One control allows for coarse settings (-20dB to +8dB), while the second is used for fine tuning in 0.5dB steps, ranging from -1.5dB to 2dB .  There are two controls for the lower frequencies. One is an equalizer at 80 Hz that boosts bass response sometimes desirable in popular music.  The second is a shelf filter that allows the engineer to alter the frequencies below 150 Hz. High frequencies can also be adjusted by two different controls.  The first alters the high frequency volume (-2dB to +2dB), while the second is a shelf filter for frequencies above 6 kHz. Both the high and low shelf filters can raise or lower ±4 dB progressively within their frequency band.
