ADAM Audio T7V

Did a lot of comparison e.g., RoKu 7 KRK all including subwoofer. The difference is without a doubt much better with the Adam T7V's. The Adam T7V is an affordable two-way studio monitor designed for vertical use in a nearfield application. The wide frequency response, high dynamic range, excellent transient response, wide sweet spot and small footprint makes the T7V perfectly suited for use in small control rooms for music production, video post-production and broadcast production.

Wide Frequency Spectrum

Featuring a 7” woofer that provides bass extension down to 39 Hz, the T7V's U-ART tweeter diaphragm provides pristine and extended high-frequency response up to 25 kHz, which is virtually unheard of in studio monitors at this price-point.

The U-ART tweeter is fitted to a precision waveguide with the same dispersion-control attributes as the High Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide used in ADAM Audio’s flagship S Series studio monitors. The waveguide’s highly uniform dispersion of high frequencies provides an incredibly wide sweet spot that frees you from being glued to a rigid mix position while working.

Powerful Projection

On the rear side of the T7V’s bevelled cabinet, a rear-firing bass reflex port joins a sturdy metal backplate that’s home to the analogue input connections. The U-ART tweeter is powered by a 20 W Class-D amp, while a 50 W Class-D amp serves the woofer. These new powerhouses yield an impressive maximum of 110 dB SPL per pair.

The ADAM Sub8 subwoofer is the perfect match to complement the T7V, to extend the capabilities of monitoring in the bottom end.

Do not overthink, this is the one you need, test it out.

I bought these after returning a pair of T5Vs, the low end wasn’t really powerful enough, although the highs and mids were beautiful. Now, I’m coming to the end of the burn-in period of the T7Vs and I can safely say these are a different beast altogether!

You won’t have to compromise those crisp and airy highs, and on top of it you’ve got really punchy and defined low end too! Put great care into how you place them in your room though -careful with the backfiring port too near a wall- powerful low end shouldn't have to hide defined and loud enough highs. Also bear in mind the 39hz low end threshold will mean the sweetspot will differ from 5” woofer speakers. Listening distance will have to increase a touch as these speakers are much more powerful.

In short, these are highly versatile speakers for both small and big rooms, and once you've played around with them and figured out how to juice them properly, the listening experience will be highly enjoyable. Those perfectly defined highs are a thing to behold, they almost appear physically present in the room. But with the T7Vs, I was really looking for that low end explosion one always expects with new listening equipment… and I found it :-)

I bought a pair of these monitors as replacements for my KRK Rokit 8 Gen 1s. The difference in sound quality really is very impressive. The T7Vs sound accurate, controlled and extremely detailed, allowing you to hear absolutely everything in your mix.

The signature Adam tweeter gives you the distinctive 'silky' highs, and the woofer delivers tight and accurate bass. The mid-range detail is superb. Placement of sounds on the stereo sound stage is rock solid, with a clear phantom center. I could not hear any unnatural lumps or dips in the frequency response.

They really can easily compete with much more expensive speakers. I had that experience of being able to hear things that I could not hear before with my KRKs (and they even appeared to beat my AKG headphones for detail). At work I use Neumann and Genelec speakers, and these really do compare favorably with those top end models.

Build quality is excellent as far as I can tell.

Downsides? Well these do a great job on the bass, but you may want to add a sub if you work primarily on bass-centric music and want to hear the ultra low end clearly.

The bass and treble room correction EQ controls are quite rudimentary; you don't get any of the advanced correction features of higher end monitors. Not a problem for me, but if your room requires lots of correction then you may want to consider different models.

I didn't have any problems with the rear bass reflex port, but some users may experience issues if they have to place these speakers very close to a wall.

In short, top-end monitors for a low-end price.

I have been using an older pair of Yamaha MSP5 at home for a while and although they are very good, the bottom end is a bit lacking - no surprise with a 5 inch woofer. I toyed with the idea of a sub but decided too go for a bigger set of monitors instead. I was looking around for a pair of Yamaha HS7 but while checking reviews on youtube I saw a comparison with the Adam monitors. I was impressed. A friend has an older set of Adam monitors too and hearing them it was pretty much decision made. On top of that, I felt that if I really didn't like them or they didn't suit my tastes or room acoustics I could always send them back.

For me, these are the first monitors. The sound is naturally just great. I gave ADAM to an audiophile person to listen to, and the first thing he said was a thoroughbred sound. Despite the fact that this is the most budget line from ADAM - I don't regret a bit that I took this model. According to the balance - there are a little too many tops - I used the factory switch and minus 2 decibels. the sound is as clear and balanced as possible. Midrange - vocals are just like a person standing in front and singing live. The bottoms were enough for me with my head for a room of 20 square meters. Buzz if you put it close to the walls - cover the phase inverter with ordinary socks :) The hum disappears immediately when using socks, or simply move the monitors away by 30-40 centimeters.

They sound awesome right from the get-go!

I bought 2 for my fresh new home studio, and while I wasn't sure about them at first hand I don't have any regrets now. The low end is clear, solid, not really overwhelming - things you can expect from a 7" woofer. Well, I'm mixing into metal so I can't be sure for the guys in R&B or more intensified low end genres. The highs are also crystal clear, they're not piercing even when listening to black metal or records with high screaming vocal intensity.

The build quality is top level. These guys are heavy as f@#k (bare in mind when choosing their position)! Solid housing, quality switches, very very nice in overall. The only thing I get annoyed from is that silent undergoing hiss at medium to high volumes when you're not playing anything on them, but thats nothing when you actually listen to music.

Don't listen to complains - these are monsters! Totally recommending them to every one on a budget!
