Adam - Since you realize folks want to use Adams for home use, why not join the club and offer some 21st century connections and use technology like 'USB' inputs, remote control, and RCA subwoofer outputs. I don't know if you have ran the numbers, but there are lots more folks wanting to connect their TV's and PC' s to a great set of monitors than small studios in the world. I ended up with Klipsch RP-41M's over the A4V's because of these features. Even though the Adams would have been lots better sounding. Heck, adding these features plus HDMI connections would not increase the price too much. Infact, HDMI and USB might eliminate the need for the voicing and other controls reducing the price. Please, all we have to choose from to get these features is Klipsch or cheap looking made in China mini monitors. Thanks
I have added a pair of T8V's to my music system which is based on a CD Transport feeding a separate DAC via optical cable and XLR to a pre amp and again XLR to my T8V speakers. I listen in the mid field and the sound is excellent. I am impressed by the solid build quality of the speakers and the value for money they offer.
I`m using Adam`s A77X in my leaving room with my main DAC>Preamp system. It is my 3rd pair of studio monitors in home audio, probably I will never go back to standard setup. Now i`m thinking of switching to Adam`s A7V to use with room correction software. In my opinions, manufacturers like Adam, Focal (for pro market) could easily join consumer market with their products: looks of Adam`s or Focal`s (and others) speakers is just amazing so it would fit every living space, also considering WAF, and no nonsens approach as main advantage. Only thing they would need is any kind of grills as an option for obvious protection from kinds and other environmental issues.
As a new convert I picked up a pair of tv7's, s10 & a topping d30pro for my home office during the pandemic . I'm a vinyl man through & through, dedicated room, tube phono, pre, ss power amps, 3 ways, duel subs but..... I love my little room set up. I've treated it after watching a few videos, acoustic panels & bass trap, Isocoustic stands. It's like a mix between speakers & headphones. I'm spending 20-30 hrs a week in there a week & I play my main system at the weekend. For the price I'm amazed. I'm already saving for the sh3👌🏼
That's a nice little set up you got going there. Just wondering what size subwoofers you were using and of course how big is your room 🤔 when I placed an acoustic panel on a rear wall, I couldn't believe how much the sound of my room had changed! To be honest... at first, I didn't like the new acoustic sound of my room but it was only the fact that I spent a lot of money on a gik acoustic panel that made me persevere... I'm so glad I did because now I'm used to it, there's no way I could live without it!
@@Antibackgroundnoise I've got 10 panels up in my room. That's with the s10, room is 4.8m long, 3.5m wide & 2.3m high. I've got 2 rel t9i's in my main system but that's nearly 7m long!
If you are getting an integrated amplifier/receiver you are paying for features you don't use (ex. speaker amplifier). I think it's why in the video they recommend to buy used gear (it's more affordable). For better bang for buck, I would suggest to use a DAC that has RCA/XLR outputs. Some models (ex. Topping EX5) even come with bluetooth functionality and headphones output (for late night sessions) 🙂
I am planning on buying a pair of adam t5vs very soon and i’m quite inexperienced when it comes to hifi. I will be using my adams for my desktop setup and I simply just want to be able to connect to my pc aswell as my turntable. Will i be able to connect my adams to my pc through a topping ex5 via xlr and aswell as my turntable through rca? So turntable > phono preamp > topping?
Hi Nath9377! You probably can connect your turntable to the monitors via RCA directly and also connect the monitors to an audio interface via XLR that goes to your computer.
@@Nath-rg2qd No you cannot plug your turntable into the Topping EX5. It doesn't have RCA inputs. You need to decide if you want to plug/unplug the cables from the speakers when you switch from your computer to your turntable. (Or vice-versa) If you don't want to do that, you need a device called a preamplifier. It ables to you select the device that is playing and control the volume. Or you need a Phono to Digital converter and connect it to your DAC. For example: System 1: Turn table --> Pro-ject Optical Box E Phono --> Topping DX3 Pro+ --> Speakers Computer --> Topping DX3 Pro+ --> Speakers System 2: Turn table --> Pro-ject Phono Box --> Topping A30 Pro --> Speakers Computer --> Topping D30 --> Topping A30 Pro --> Speakers Let me know if you have any questions!

Yup use my A7X as hifi speakers. But might give up on them as they are ugly as sin, and would like something that looks better (other colour)in my living room. Hope the new A series might come in white.
Haha, running Adams for years outside their purpose. At my Home Studio, i sold my Genelec 8040 because in the high-mids they were so harsh. I bought the A7X in the Glossy Limited Edition and fell in Love. So in my Hifi/HomeCinema Setup i run Backes & Müller Speakers for front and rear. I needed some really good speakers for Center, Height and an Atmos Update. With such high end speakers, you cannot go with marketing stuff like "Teufel" or "Bose". I found nothing that can compeed and fits to the main speakers. Now i run a lot of A3Xs. The X-Art Tweeter did it :-) P.s.: Miss the ETON Speakers in the new A-Series :-(
I’ve almost given up on my Sonos Arc/300 theatre setup due to technical issues and concerns about smart speaker longevity; so considering returning them an and getting a good Denon Atmos receiver and some Kef speakers. I already have 2 Adam A7X that I rarely use for music production these days, so I’m thrilled at the prospect of using them for Movie/Music. Now I just need to figure out which to use for fronts and which for rears ;) They’ll all be similar price of around $700 each, perhaps very similar league sound-wise.
This video was really helpful. I'm looking at using a set of studio monitors to connect to both a TV and computer for work. The interface/DAC that I'm planning on using (for pure convenience) is a Topping DX5. This gives me optical, USB and bluetooth input options.

@ADAMAudioBerlin Hello there. I'd like to use these monitors for my home cinema theatre. I'm going to use T8V speakers for front audio, and T5V speakers for surround. The main question is - what kind of speaker should I use for center channel?
@@ADAMAudioBerlin wouldn't that look weird? I mean these speakers are vertical, because the center speaker is usually horizontal. Can I use 2 T5V speakers instead of it (as center speaker)? Can I pair them so how?
Hi Владимир! The ideal is to use the same monitors (and if you cannot do the same model, at least the same series). So if you are already using T5Vs and T8Vs, we would recommend keeping using them. It is fine to use a vertical speaker in the center. Using a horizontal one is just for aesthetics and use that format if you have a screen at the center.
I am in the process of selecting speakers for audiophile purposes (mainly computer streaming and turntable connectivity). I was under the impression that Studio monitors are quite clinical and flat compared to audiophile passive speakers by popular hifi brands thus resulting in a very underwhelming audio listening experience especially when the album recording is not so good. Am I missing something here? And if that’s the case which ADAM speaker series would you recommend as the most audiophile-friendly/oriented one?
Hi gpapa31! All the loudspeakers in our product range are designed to be the best can be for their position in the market. Clearly, if a product is more expensive the budget for parts on our side is higher and we can use better quality parts, so the S Series is more accurate than the T Series and the A series sits somewhere between the two.
@@ADAMAudioBerlin thank you for getting back to me. You didn’t give me an informative answer as to the audiophile friendly experience (compared to hifi establishes passive speaker brands). Yes ADAM speakers are among the best in the market but that’s Pro studio audio engineering market not the hifi listening one. That’s their primary purpose, correct?
Hi gpapa31! Yes, ADAM Audio is not producing HiFi audio speakers, but it doesn't mean our speakers are not valid for listening experiences for home entertainment. With the last message, we meant that for the best experience, we obviously recommend the S Series, which will be, of course, more accurate that the T Series.
@@ADAMAudioBerlin thank you for your feedback. I was leaning towards the latest A Series but if you feel the S is closer to my needs I’ll try that. Thank you again for your help.
I have studio monitors without optical.i want to connect with tv...rca to jack headphones at tv is good option? Or better rca to male rca to female rca to male rca at tv left and right cable is better option?
I thought the Adams were supposed to be positioned about a meter away from the listener. Is there an audio quality problem having a pair of T7Vs 4 meters away?
Hi Guille! That would be necessary if you want to have the best results when mixing, mastering or producing in the studio, to have a perfect stereo result. But if you want to use them for home entertainment, it would be hard to be always in the sweet spot, and also there will be no need to get the same results as when you are in the studio.
Instead of the receiver, you could use an small mixer, then you can set the gain and always have level volume. But not for your tv, because of the commercials so, there you can insert a hardware limiter and... ohno, here we go again
Hi there! if you have a streaming device or any device with audio output capabilities, it's generally possible to connect it to studio monitors, provided you have the necessary audio output options on the device.
@@ADAMAudioBerlin Since the t5v's and the wiim pro both have RCA ports then I assume it's possible to connect two t5v's to the RCA output of the Wiim with 1x RCA audio cable ( white and red, white for 1 t5v and the red for the other t5v making both work as stereo)
Hi Bart! Yes, studio monitors are designed to reproduce sound with high fidelity and accuracy, which is essential for mixing and mastering audio. However, simply owning a pair of high-quality studio monitors does not automatically guarantee accurate sound reproduction. To achieve the best possible sound, it is important to set up your studio monitors correctly. This includes placing them in the correct position, adjusting their angle and height, and calibrating their frequency response. Additionally, the acoustic properties of your room can significantly impact the sound quality of your studio monitors. Factors such as room dimensions, wall materials, and furniture placement can cause sound reflections, resonance, and other acoustic issues that can affect the accuracy of your monitors. Therefore, a proper setup is necessary to ensure that your studio monitors are performing at their best and providing accurate sound reproduction.
I have 5.1 setup that contain 2 of F7's, three of F5's,(swiched last year from T7V's and T5V's bacause of wall mounts and auto turn off feauture for the same price) and sub 8 mII and it sound fantastic. Only problem, i don't have balanced raciever for connecting all of them. I vas asking for a video about home cinema setup for about a year))) Please help me.

Maybe one day someone will build studio monitors with USB input... Instead of converting the signal three times, you could get away with one time only. For this reason I am forced to go with Q Acoustics M20 instead of a nice pair of Adam Audio monitors:(
Hi there! USB means we are limited to two channels. We wanted A Series to also be compatible with larger systems such as 5.1, 7.1 and whatever 3D formats, so a network cable makes more sense for that. :)
TV audio is so whack though... ieven 5.1 hd surround is inferior to 2D uncompressed lossless. Never buy hi-quality speakers just for sound quality when doing TV audio. its a waste of money. That said is was worth watching Jane. Well played Jane.
Yeah, f u. Spend, place, fiddle with a receiever (whose other i/o remain unused) instead of using *ALREADY THERE* input/outputs of a tv. Add a frickin dac+hdmi or toslink out to your speakers. $50 bookshelves have them. Or just make one.

Hi James! You can check out isoacoustics.com/
@@ADAMAudioBerlin what about the tall ones around 3:49?
Hi Diego! The floor stands are by ZAOR: zaorstudiofurniture.com/studio-furniture/stands/
Jane is legendary
I have 5.1 setup that contain 2 of F7's, three of F5's,(swiched last year from T7V's and T5V's bacause of wall mounts and auto turn off feauture for the same price) and sub 8 mII and it sound fantastic.

Maybe one day someone will build studio monitors with USB input... Instead of converting the signal three times, you could get away with one time only. For this reason I am forced to go with Q Acoustics M20 instead of a nice pair of Adam Audio monitors:(
Hi there! USB means we are limited to two channels. We wanted A Series to also be compatible with larger systems such as 5.1, 7.1 and whatever 3D formats, so a network cable makes more sense for that. :)
@@ADAMAudioBerlin Fine, but where is that network connector on T series? This video presents T series... which only have analogue inputs.
Oh yes, the T Series only has analogue inputs.
the bass sucks on these😭 i wish i got some focal evo 50s
TV audio is so whack though... ieven 5.1 hd surround is inferior to 2D uncompressed lossless. Never buy hi-quality speakers just for sound quality when doing TV audio. its a waste of money. That said is was worth watching Jane. Well played Jane.
Who says "you can't listen to music on studio monitors..." 😂
Yeah, f u. Spend, place, fiddle with a receiever (whose other i/o remain unused) instead of using *ALREADY THERE* input/outputs of a tv.
Add a frickin dac+hdmi or toslink out to your speakers. $50 bookshelves have them. Or just make one.
What about just Bluetooth...
Amazing job lady! Awesome content
