dude you are the only reviewer that I trust when it comes to buying audio gear
really great review keep tham making 😇👌
I always speak my mind, never taken a script from a company like the others ;)
@@inthemix Sorry, but that's what they all say.

Great Review as always ☺️ Love the channel and your presentation style is so compelling, well paced and never patronising - an utter joy to watch in the age of extreme fast-cut in-your-face reviews, and interesting for producers at any level - your enthusiasm and obvious love for what you do is what keeps me coming back to your channel to keep watching. :) keep up the great work!!
Michael, i've learned so much from you , your tutorials are very well made and the way you explain things is incredible.
Its like you are made for this . Congrats and succes in the future.
Loool I love how you're hugging them in the thumbnail! Loved it xD
Amazing piece of equipment! I'm still using my old Mackie speakers but those Adams would be an amazing update of my studio!Really nice review with lots of information! Thank you @InTheMix :) ! Good luck everyone !
I'd just want to say thank you. I'm a beginner of sound production and am learning the basics and fundamentals of working on producing my own music. I must say that your channel has helped me tremendously in understanding the basics and the functions of using FL studio.
This so happens to teach more about sound, as I'm just using a normal speaker from a shop, housed on my desk. Now, I'm trying to set up stands to place the speakers on, to follow your advice.
Thank you again for everything, and keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Virgel
I had this pair as my first pair. They were amazing. Sadly I had to sell them because I needed the money. I miss them, they were so good. Great review man.
You are a natural teacher and your channel is one of the best I subscribe to. Just keep doing more of what you're doing and life will treat you well. Thanks
Great Review! Ive been a bit set on these for a while now and you furthered my purchase of them.
Great review man! This confirms my decision to upgrade to these
And u did it!
Have these been worth it? About to buy some, but I know they aren't NEEDED to make good music haha...but they're pretty and I would like to hear more in the mix ;p I know they are a good investment for any studio space, however just wanting to put some last minute feelers out there to someone that may have been using them for a while
Which one did you upgrade from and how much of a difference was there?
And then you got them too!
Great video as always! Thank you Michael :)
Haha this is so coincidental. I'm literally in the process of investigating monitor options, and the A7X and the Kalis 6.5 are my two options... You're the man. Love how concise and accurate your reviews are. I trust your opinion and can tell you're not trying to bullshit any of us. Thank you dude!
Same here. Did you get to listen to both? A7X (and Genelec 8030c) are the truly high priced ones, with LP-6 a wild card for me.
I always look forward to your videos, very informative...good stuff.
This would be a dream come true! Crossing my fingers! Much love from the USA!
love your videos man, just the essential, perfect
So useful! Thanks for one more time. Good luck to everyone!
Fantastic review, thank you so much. Just bought them.
I wish I had them ❤️ much needed 🔥
Great review- I have a pair as well and all your points are spot on. One thing I would add is these allow you to play coherently at low volumes.
I wish everyone tried an AMT tweeter and understood what it means to have clear highs that pick up transients very clearly but don’t sound harsh or sibilant. The front bass ports are also tremendous.
My first intro to AMT tweeters were the Adam ARTist 5, followed by these. I was so impressed, I purchased a pair of Eve SC208 for my TV/ Hi-fi system.
Thank you! I just has fallen in love with these two!
I have these too, and I'm still very happy with them as they sound amazing :)
I have the woofer turned down a little bit and the tweeter turned up a tad to compensate for my room (and my personal tendency to mix bright). I also notch around 130Hz in my DAW; not quite sure if that's my room or if the speakers are slightly hyped there, perhaps a combination of both.
Regarding the lack of 'clickyness' of the volume controls, just set them at the 0 notch and use the volume control on your audio interface. At 0 they can already go louder than I'd want anyway; the amps really pack a punch!
For people on a budget and interested in Adams, the T7Vs (or even T5Vs) are also really good. Not quite A7X level, but surprisingly close considering the price tag.
But good review Michael, and congrats with your new monitors :)
SOLD!!! Definitely excited to upgrade to these from my Adam Audio T7. Thanks for your review!
This was really helpful 😊 thank you so much .
I got through your videos.
Last year FL studio purchased and upgraded to signature bundle. And this week I bought the audio interface Focusrite solo with Microphone, I think the sound sounds great through these speakers. I hope that you make more video's
Great review, thanks. I'm intending to get pair of A3X and a Sub7. There's an interesting Adam Audio video on burning in your speakers when you first get them.
I’m sold. I definitely want these monitors. Great review. I learned a few things
Provide great insight for us viewers, along with very nice videos, thanks so much for your time posting these. And wow, thank you for providing a giveaway for these Adam Audio A7X Monitors. Really nice.
It's so nice to hear that you finally have A7x, I've got a pair of A5x before a day. Coincidentally, We are experiencing the same things and it is overwhelming. :) True, you feel it directly to the chest with a lot of air. Thank you, Adam, and In the Mix.
Thanks bro....looking forward to start a home studio...your ideas are of much help
I appreciated the open honesty at the beginning. Instant sup and like from me :)
just got these like 2 weeks ago! upgraded from JBL LSR308s. Im liking them so far, ive heard stuff in my mixes that i didnt before which is crazy.
I'm planning to buy these! Would you say that a KRK 8' sub with this would be even better? My studio is about 15 square meters! Great vid!
go for hs8 with krk sub. Its a deadly combo
I prefer 10"
@@VAEOMMusic adam audio are miles ahead of yamaha
@@MattDxstined I have both A8X and HS8s, The Adams sound smoother but the Yamahas are more revealing. One isnt necessarily better than the other just different applications.
@@Jakobeffjd have you tried the a7x or a5x? i’ve heard the a8x sound boomy and the mids are less detailed than the other models
Love, First time seeing A7X giveaway.. you are amazing as always.
We trust your reviews man, Keep going 👏👏👏
Good review, thanks for that! :)
I have been owning a pair for years but never calibrated them right. Thanks for the motivation!
Great articulated review!
Very nice of you 👍 Great studio monitors. They are on my wishlist
Hello, Love the review. It's really detailed and best of all, entertaining so I'm watching this even thought I can't afford them XD. My question is, adam makes some cheaper t7v. Are you able to speak about them? Thanks
Very detailed review! I've been looking for an upgrade for my (very first) M-Audio monitors. But you mentioned that there's a lot of setup needed for the A7x's. Would you say that the Kali LP6 are a better choice for a bedroom studios, where acoustic treatment is minimal? Or just invest in the A7x's as I will probably upgrade again in the future. Thank you!
Subbed and entered. Watched a fair few of your videos. Great content. Everything is so well presented and explained.
I've been looking for new monitors, and these tweeters seem amazing! Best of luck to everyone :)
Great vid, best I seen as I am in the process of buying a monitor.
Thanks for the helpful information
Been hoping to get my hands on some Adams for years!!! Good luck everybody!🎶
A nice video. Describing things in a way I find most helpful. Would be a good step up from my bm5 mk2
The bm5s are amazing, but you will probably appreciate the extra bass from a 7 inch woofer :)
Super video. How would you recommend connecting this from Mac Mini if the source is Tidal? Usual 3.5mm / RCA cables are "unbalanced", right? Should I be bothering about XLR balanced?
I just ordered a pair plus a Apollo x4 for my bedroom studio. Looking forward to setting them up.
great review of the speakers great like all your stuff
Great review 👏 I am thinking about getting a pair I am trying to finish my studio first.
I love your videos, they’re so helpful and have helped me improve my workflow inside of go studio!! I am currently working on a few songs, hoping to release an EP soon, and I ran into a problem. For my Vocals, I have 3 recordings combined together to make up all of the vocals. Is there a way to combine these wav files together and export them to make a single vocals wav file in that project?
I’d love to get those speakers, they’re amazing 😍😍
Argh! JUST found your excellent review! I've got a pair of KRK Rokkit 5s, and I think it's time to consider upgrading! But I've missed the giveaway! Anyway - excellent review!
Dream monitors! Great review btw! Very detailed!
7:14 “you can make [them] more smooth”...
Would you be willing to make a video on adjusting your monitors settings to your room? That seems impossible being that, on a brand new pair of monitors, you don’t know if it’s the monitors that are too sharp and crispy or if it’s your room causing them to sound that way. Complex topic I know
Great review, thanks :-)
Great review. Still deciding between these and that Genelec 8330a. The front facing bass ports may tip the scale.
Im starting an audio engineering degree in September so this pair of speakers is the dream!!
Just bought a pair and they get here Sunday. Upgraded from a pair of ls305s that I’ve had forever, I can’t wait
Excellent job. Been a long time follower of this channel and considering to buy these as my first set of serious studio monitors for film composition and electronic music (been using my Audio technical M50x headphones until now). Would you say the difference in sound quality between an Audient id14 and an Apollo Twin Duo ii is very noticeable, considering their huge price difference? Thank you.
Thanks for the review....💛👍
I had the Adam F7s which ive worked with and loved for 3 years. I can only imagine the A7x to be even better. However, I got the Hedd Type 07s as an upgrade instead after seeing many good reviews over the A7x!
Hey Dude, great review review! I use a pair of Yamaha HS7, I use them mainly to select music for my youtube channel and make sure the music I am curating sounds good and professional. I am not mixing or mastering that often (sometimes I do produce my own tracks), would you recommend the upgrade? Have you compared the A7X to the HS7? Thanks in advance!
Nice speakers, thanks for the info 👌🏻
Perfect review! In the studio, I can see how this slightly playful, flamboyant sound could be highly undesirable in critical, precision work. Let me offer another perspective as an audiophile: Adam A7X are speakers that make everything sound amazing with their slight U-shaped response which has led to them being highly recommended in audiophile circles. The A7X's add just that little bit of cut and slam while still possessing an incredible degree of precision and low distortion for musical enjoyment.Their slightly tipped up sound on the frequency extremes has resulted in them becoming a go-to recommendation over Emotiva and KEF. This makes me wonder why doesn't Adam make a rebadge of these in the consumer market. They make the Martin Logan speakers at your local Best Buy's Magnolia section sound like a mushy, confused joke. I would imagine Adam would sell these by the boatload if they did.
flawless review!
So much needed here in Denmark for my setup with FL studio.
Are these gonna be good for casual music listening? I need a pair of speakers that will work well with my turntable setup as well as synths and Ableton. Are they going to do the job? Thanks
About monitors, Do you normally turn the volume on each monitor on full volume or halfway full? If either answer works then where about do you keep the volume balance on your actual audio interface? Like during production time
Would love those. Amazing speakers.
Yes I agree , the best speakers i have heard to date! i wish i could afford them but maybe someday?
I’ve been following you for some time, learning quite a bit. I really hope I win these amazing monitors! Either way, keep the great tutorials coming 🎼🎹🎤🎧
Nick PA buy some
@Ruben I bought a pair of studio monitors but they’re no where near as nice as the ones Michael is giving away. If I could afford them I would’ve but thanks for the suggestion.
How do these compare to your previous monitors ( Lyd7's) worth upgrading or no? I currently have the Lyd 8's.
Thank you!
Very good review!
So nice review! Would you please tell me about your idea about eveaudio sc207 over this? Which one you prefer?
just wow. at a7x and the way you review them!
Hey do you need any additional/ better XLR cables for these? About to buy a bundle that gives you copper ones that supposedly makes the sound better...thinking its a gimmick...thoughts?
Omg... Giving away studio monitors.. This is incredible I wish I won my first pair of monitors without having to spare that much !!
Thanks for the review I will be able to get these later next year as a first pair!! Cheers.
Long time viewer, first time commenter. Love your content and really appreciate the effort you put into all of your videos!! How do you handle the audio out of your computer to studio monitors? Anything special with sound cards that we should know about?
Sorry for the dumb question. I think the answer is the audio interface is both an input and an output device and should be used to drive studio monitors, headphones, and anything else.
about to buy these , I have the T7Vs and they are fantastic for mixing but I just want a bit more out of both mixing and entertainment.
great vid btw.
Hello there, great review. I have a question that bothers me and i was hoping you could help me. I have a room size of around 3m x 3x and it is still acoustically untreated and i'm using yamaha hs7's and the monitors are 8cm away from the wall so my question is, would it be necessary for me to buy front ported monitors like a7x(which are by the way also my dream speakers) and a sub question, would a7x's be an overkill for my small room ? I would have gone with hs8's initially but i asked an audio engineering professor and he told me to go with hs7's for my room size. Oh and i have 1 more question that still bugs my mind till these days, i noticed yamaha hs7's have a very weak low freq response and that really bothers me because i'm an edm producer (i'm checking my sub with 2.1 gaming speakers atm which is not ok, i want studio monitors to do this with), so there are 3 options as far as i can logically conclude; 1.) either the yamaha hs7's are too weak on the low end, 2.) its is because the room is untreated, 3.) the speakers are too close to the wall. If you have any idea please let me know, i would really appreciate it. Btw i'm loving your videos, very clear & in depth. Big thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing!
Hey, im currently using kalis lp8 and my room is slightly treated i got some self made acustics panels to cover behind my monitors do u think i would be upgrading? Also what do u think about hedd type 05 and 07
@in the mix can I use this at home with my mac? Im not musician but just looking for a quality music. I also want to pair these with cambridge acoustic minx 201 woofer. do u think it makes sense? thanks.
Hello! I got Kali LP6 and I’m looking to upgrade. Can you be more precise about your experience with both speakers? Thank you 🙂
Well done Luigi P. Nice one!
What are your thoughts on the A7X vs A3X + SUB7 combo? I personally don't really care about the max SPL, but having deeper Bass feels like it would be quite beneficial...
Can u Please Explain the Different Between A7X vs T7V ?
Had these awhile,.....does it make sense to bring the bass down a Db or so when working in a small room ? (3m2) I’ve never messed with the back controls
hey i have a pair of Adams T7v's i got em cuz there were on good budget and very good on the price but now i kinda want to upgrade would the A7x be a good option or you recommend something else ?
Excellent review as usual Michael. Very thorough and in-depth and I actually learned a few new things! Thank you!
just got these for casual listening and i love them. But how do you change the shelfing controls on the back they dont' seem to be moving easily
I’m just starting my own studio and could definitely use a pair
Colton Hood buy some them
Hello thank you for your review of Adam Audio A7X. I am about to invest in a pair of A7X you also mentioned a program with a mic that put an eq on top to correct the acoustic of the room. Can you give more details on this? Thank you!
Hey brother no matter what I love what you do and even though I can't participate I wish best of luck to all the participants. May the one in need will get these. Cheers!!
Perfect presentation. You have just sold this model to me. Adam Audio should nominate you to be a president of the company. It was a pure joy to watch this video. Subscribed to the channel.
All your videos are so relaxing! They remind me of Bob Ross's Painting Videos :D
I’m trying to figure out whether to get the Genelec 8020D’s or the A7X’s..
Do u need subwoofer with them or do they work without it? Im looking for a great pair of speakers for a good price and I think these aren't that highly priced in Finland but do they need a subwoofer for mixing/mastering?
Between woofer and tweeter you have "225 watts". That should be ample for any modern room, but if you're looking at a hall of a big landed house, perhaps their smallest subwoofer should be a good addition. For apartments in cities, this is more than enough!
