ADAM AudioT7V Studio Monitor for recording, mixing and mastering, Studio Quality Sound (Single)

I initially bought the smaller T5V model but returned them for the T7V (this model). The Adam Audio sound takes some mental adjustment. The speakers sound bigger and closer than they are. I’m now a fan.After two days I had fallen in love with the T5V tweeter but wasn't crazy about the woofer, so I rearranged my desk to make more space and ordered the T7V instead. Both the T5V and T7V are impressive and sound much better than they cost. Both are highly recommended. This review is largely pasted from my review of the T5V model because they are essentially the same, except for the way they handle low frequencies.T7V REVIEW:Adam Audio speakers are usually very expensive and used in professional studios. The T Series is a new budget line that brings their amazing tweeter technology to the masses.Right now, there are multiple brands of similar-sized monitors at similar or lower prices. You can spend less, but these really are on a different level in terms of hearing a mix in its full dimension. With the T7V, expect to hear detail in the highs you won’t find elsewhere. I previously used Event Electronics ALP5 monitors and they have clear, sweet mids but nowhere near as much extension into the highs as these speakers do.Adam Audio has done an amazing job giving you a wide-open sonic window at such a low price-point. Playing through my music collection of classic and recent songs of various genres, I can hear subtle details I didn't notice before, especially in the vocals, acoustic instruments, and stereo imaging. I’m not used to hearing this far up into the upper highs even though I have in-ear monitors and headphones that cost as much as these speakers.Well-mixed music comes alive and spreads out into a well-imaged, wide space with mono sounds appearing to be in the center. You almost lose the fact you’re listening to speakers sometimes. You can really hear the magic of great mixes from the analog era as well as today’s digital world.There is a downside though. Not-so-well mixed music will draw your attention to its flaws and weaknesses. I cross-checked this with Sennheiser headphones and yep, it’s the mix, not the speakers.For people who use digital instruments, you will LOVE these speakers and how forward the whole frequency range is (not just the mids). Also, these handle bass well and dance music sounds great.For people who mic, eq and mix acoustic instruments and vocals, the big window of truth the tweeters provide will help you get things right the first time. They give you a lot of useful frequency information above the midrange, especially on vocals and acoustic guitars. If you record live drums, get these over the smaller T5V.I have an M-Audio sub-woofer and it really helped out with my previous monitors which were only 5”. With these T7V (7” woofer) you won’t need a sub-woofer for most applications. The bass is impressive.Once you get used to ribbon tweeters, you won't want to go back. It took me about two days to get used to the extra high frequency content, so be patient. When I first started listening, I thought they would be fatiguing (one of Adam Audio’s selling points is that they are not fatiguing), but that was just a mental adjustment I had to make, and now I can listen to them for extended periods just fine.If the price is a bit high for you, check out the Adam Audio T5V, which save $100 per pair. I had them for a week and was impressed. If you can afford these (and can fit them on your desk) get these T7V instead (deeper, punchier bass).If you currently have 5” speakers with dome tweeters, and if these larger speakers can fit on your desk, the T7V will be a significant upgrade and will sound bigger, richer, clearer and more forward than what you’re used to.I don’t think you'll find a better truth-teller for mixing at this price. The T7V are great for audio recording and mixing in a small studio or a medium-sized video post suite. Once you hear the difference the tweeters make, you'll be surprised at what you've been missing.

son excelentes monitores de audio, para estudio, si eres DJ o quieres empezar en la producción como yo, es una excelente opción para iniciar.Los Adam T7V es el tamaño ideal para tus producciones, dan un sonido muy limpio y claro, recomiendo utilizarlos con cable XLR balanceado con un mixer, o si es con una tarjeta de audio también funciona excelente, el sonido es mucho mejor y sin ruido, recomendado 100%

Beautiful, clear, well tuned, exceptional sound, powerful and perfect for my small studio. In fact probably overkill for my small studio for the price, amazing value.

I purchased two T7V monitors and the 10 inch sub as a set for $765.I have never experienced such incredible quality, as I am sitting here listening to these I am practically moved to tears. This is what music is supposed to sound like.I can't recommend these speakers enough, they are incredible. The clarity of the speakers is second to none, I find them considerably better than the Presonus equivalent, which I have used quite a bit as well (I used to sell them).Value for the price and performance vastly exceeds expectations.Adam, you glorious German madmen, you have made me a very happy man.

Just got them today and I can't stop listening to them cant wait to start mixing and producing with them. Hands down best monitors for the money

I purchased the T7Vs to replace a pair of Mackie MR5 Mk3 monitor. Right out of the box, I was astonished at just how good these speakers sounded in comparison, without any burn-in time.I was never really happy with the Mackies but after purchasing a pair of Yamaha HPH-MT8 headphones which are wonderfully flat and transparent, I couldn't believe how thin-sounding my previous mixes were using the Mackies. I A/B'd the Mackies with my new cans using my own mixes and several other songs of varying genre by other artists, and the amount of colouration and boominess from the Mackies was shocking, hence the impetus for new monitors.After months of research for the best quality speakers in my price range, I finally decided on the T7Vs, and I'm very happy I did. My first impression upon plugging them in was how detailed they are. The top end and upper mids are crisp but very pleasing to the ear. The woofers (being two inches bigger than the ones on my Mackies) provide a nice, thick bottom end without any of the boominess I was so accustomed to with the Mackies. I was immediately hearing nuance in recordings that I was unaware of before.Although not completely flat, I was able to tailor the speakers to my room using the LF and HF shelving filters on the back so that what I was hearing matched very closely what I was hearing through my flat Yamaha cans.I'm very much looking forward to making some music with these!

Ordered 1 as a center channel on my movie post mix room. Speaker was delivered on time and well packaged. I wish they put a box on the box so everyone didn't see what was on the porch, but I can forgive that. I installed the speaker to the room, and had no signal.NOTE: There is a Manual switch between XLR and RCA inputs.The speaker had no signal with the switch in either position.I packed it up, and returned it through Amazon within an hour. 2 days later, I have a new speaker, in place, installed, and working well. Sounds great! Exactly what I hoped for.Hope this helps.

Very happy with the price and quality of this monitor.
