Versatile, high-quality monitoring

The ADAM Audio D3V is a compact monitor speaker set for home studio applications that features balanced jack inputs and a USB-C interface, allowing direct connection to a DAW and eliminating the need for a separate audio interface. In keeping with the technology for which ADAM Audio is famous, each speaker features a woofer and a passive ribbon tweeter, providing a frequency response that starts down at 45Hz. The left-hand speaker features a volume control and 3.5mm headphone output on its front side, a practical feature that allows users to mix in complete silence, while the rear side in turn houses a trio of sliding switches for adjusting the sound to optimally suit the room's acoustic properties. The result is a compact monitoring solution for use in small spaces that can be flexibly integrated into any setup and will deliver a high-quality sound in any room.

Direct DAW connection

Both of the ADAM Audio D3V Black speakers feature a handmade 1.5" D-ART AMT ribbon tweeter, and thus deliver ADAM Audio's characteristic treble response without any danger of fatigue setting in. This is combined with an aluminium woofer that features a ferrite magnet system, and the system amplification delivers a peak value of 80W each for the woofers and 40W each for the tweeters. Dual-sided 3.5" passive radiators bolster the bass frequencies and thus increase the achievable sound pressure level, while the aforementioned trio of switches located on the rear side of the left speaker provide a range of options to further tailor the sound.

Ideal for mobile sessions

Music producers and content creators who have to work in a confined space but still need to maintain a certain degree of flexibility will find the perfect companion in the ADAM Audio D3V Black. The system's USB-C port provides a plug-and-play connection to devices such as tablets and smartphones and provides zero-loss playback, which makes these compact monitoring speakers a highly flexible solution for mobile recording and mixing sessions. Users can adjust the sound to suit the speakers' placement in the room and the size and arrangement of the desktop, as well as to allow for any absorbers in the room, via the three switches on the rear of the left speaker, allowing them to make quicker and more informed decisions about their mix. In addition to the black model shown here, the ADAM Audio D3V is also available in white.

About ADAM Audio

ADAM Audio was founded in Berlin in March 1999 and has since been involved in the development, manufacture, and distribution of speakers specifically aimed at the professional audio industry. The company was founded following the development of the X-ART tweeter, itself based on the Air Motion Transformer created by Oscar Heil in the 1960s. Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors (ADAM) has rapidly set new standards in the world of studio monitors. The company employs over 50 people in its Berlin factory, is distributed in over 75 countries, and has sales offices in both the USA (Nashville) and the UK. The list of renowned studios using ADAM monitors is long and still growing. ADAM Audio has been part of the Focusrite Group since 2019.

No need for an audio interface

The ADAM Audio D3V's impressive connectivity includes balanced 6.35mm jack inputs for direct connection to a mixing desk or to instruments such as keyboards and other studio equipment. Users can thus record and mix on the go without the need for an audio interface, which of course means less equipment to carry and a more direct signal path. The scope of delivery includes a pair of desktop stands that can be attached to the underside of the speakers and allow them to be optimally positioned in a stereo triangle on any flat surface, in addition to which each speaker features a threaded bolt to allow it to be mounted on a microphone stand.

Really great, for small rooms
Peter Groningen 22.01.2025
These are just perfect speakers for my desk. Overkill really. I don't make music, just really like to listen to tunes while I work. Nice and crisp sound. The low-end goes way deeper than you would expect. The volume won't be enough for a party in a medium room, but more than enough for me at my desk. The usb connection to my laptop works immediately without installing anything.

Small comments, but really nothing negative: - The speakers and feet are sturdy, but if someone would bump hard against my desk they probably will fall over. - More EQ options would be even better.

An upcoming firmware update will address two small niggles: the tweeter going inactive at low volumes, and sleepmode options (it currently shuts off after 20 mins, and doesn't have auto-wake). I'm happy that that firmware update is in the works.

Fine elements, as expected from ADAM. Build is all plastic but solid enough.
Using the EQ notches in the back feels a bit weird, compared to non-coloring monitors, but I've managed to get a sound I like well wnough.
However, I wanted to bring up one very dumb design detail:
The speakers shut off automatically when there's no signal, and you have to turn them back on... by pressing the extremely sensitive volume knob, thus ensuring that you can never ever keep exactly the same volume level for more than a few hours.
This is frankly bafflingly dumb, but saved them a button in the construction costs, I guess.

4,5/5

J'ai acheté ces enceintes en tant que passionné de musique et de son, sans être forcement dans le monitoring. Ce qui était attrayant c'était sa forme ultra compact pour un très gros son annoncé. Je ne suis pas déçu ! ça descend bas sans être boomy, et les aigus sont clairs et en avant sans être agressifs. J'adore écouter quobus avec mais aussi regarder des films où jouer aux jeux vidéos.

La praticité est dingue : USB C ( donc plug and play pour n'importe qui, contrairement aux Genelec que je miroitais dans le passé.) ,switch gauche - droite ultra simple, ce qui permet d'avoir facilement le bouton/jack à notre emplacement préféré.

J'ai cependant deux petites remarques négatives à faire. Déjà, le bouton multifonction peut changer le volume quand j'éteins les enceintes. En appuyant je bouge parfois d'un millimètre le volume, se qui est un peu embêtant, mais loin d'être grave.
Le deuxième, c'est un son bas que j'entends quand rien ne joue mais que l'enceinte est allumé. J'en ai parlé à Adam audio qui ont essayé de m'aider. Après de multiples échanges, nous en avons conclut que c'était un bruit normal qu'on beaucoup d'enceintes. Il mont donné la solution de brancher l'enceinte sur un prise avec un bouton on/off histoire d'éteindre facilement l'enceinte quand je n'utilise pas, et donc ne plus entendre ce bruit. Merci à eux !

Ces deux points n'entache en rien la qualité de l'enceintes, qui est de très bonne facture pour le prix. Du gros son de qualité depuis des enceintes si minus... J'adore !

Firmware-Update hat's gebracht
awi64 28.02.2025
Tatsächlich hat ADAM Audio die D3V mit der im Februar 2025 erschienenen Firmware den Klang der Lautsprecher bei leisen Lautstärken verbessert.

Was für mich dabei noch wichtiger war: dass man nun das voreingestellte, automatische Abschalten der Speaker deaktivieren kann. Mein Anwendungsfall für die ADAMs ist nämlich Homeoffice. Dieses Auto-off nervte, denn die Abschaltung fand schon nach 20 Minuten statt, und das taugt natürlich überhaupt nicht für einen Tag mit Meetings und kurzen Pausen. Sie haben es versprochen, sie haben es geliefert.

Mit dem einzigen Knopf auf der Vorderseite lassen sich noch ein paar andere Dinge erledigen (zum Beispiel Umschalten von Line auf USB-Eingang). Der Nachteil hierbei ist, dass man sich die verschiedenen Bedienungs-Szenarien merken muss (drücke 1 x für Mute, 2 x für Eingang umschalten, 3 x für L/R-Tausch, und zum Aktivieren/Deaktivieren des Auto-offs musste man 4 x drücken, glaube ich). Zumindest für die Wahl des Eingangs hätte hinten ein Schalter zuständig sein können, denn so muss man nach dem Einschalten der Lautsprecher quasi ausprobieren, ob der richtige Eingang gewählt ist, zumindest wenn man das zuvor geändert hatte (und sich daran noch erinnert...)

Der Sound kann mich rundum und bei jeder Lautstärke voll überzeugen. Für mich ist die Sprachverständlichkeit am wichtigsten. Es liegen wirklich Welten zwischen den ADAMs und anderen Desktop-Speakern a la Logitech oder Behringer. Mir fällt vor allem auf, dass die D3V viel klarere Höhen ausgeben, trotzdem vom Grundrauschen her viel besser abschneiden.

Die hochgeneigten Standfüße sind echt praktisch und besitzen unten eine absorbierende Weichgummi-Schicht. Dass man alternativ sogar ein Stativgewinde vorfindet, ist noch viel besser.

Perfekt für den Job.
