ADAM AUDIO ARTIST: The Artist is a small, unique active monitor that is dedicated to a maximum in acoustic performance for applications requiring an attractive monitor with a small footprint. It uses a brand-new ADAM A.R.T. tweeter for frequencies above 2.2 kHz, providing breathtaking authenticity in the reproduction of music and speech. It is an ideal desktop solution for enthusiastic professional and hobbyist audio engineers and multimedia designers in search of no-compromise equipment in their A/V setup either at home or work. And, it is equally well-suited for any post-production room, home studio or mobile recording facility.

ADAM AUDIO P33-A: The P33-A is an excellent choice for recording enthusiasts who want the advantages of ADAM’s unique mirrored S3-A design at a lower price point. Like the S3-A, one woofer acts as a full-range driver with the second woofer joining it only below 150 Hz. This unusual approach effectively doubles the area and power of the woofer when it needs to respond to deeper frequencies, resulting in an exceptional low end without compromising midrange performance. The P33-A is shielded and has three 100W amplifiers that deliver outstanding dynamic performance. It can be used either horizontally or vertically, so that very flexible positioning within the studio is possible.

DYNAUDIO ACOUSTICS BM 5A: The BM 5A is a self-powered, compact pro monitor that delivers high performance and state-of-the-art technology at an affordable price. The two-way active speaker is powered by two 50-watt amps and operates within a 50 to 21k Hz frequency response. Designed with a 6.7-inch woofer and 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, BM 5A delivers the exquisite clarity and performance that is characteristic of all Dynaudio Acoustics’ studio monitors. Its small footprint makes it well suited for project studios, edit suites, broadcast vans and other situations in which there is little room for the monitor setup. Retail: $1,250/pair.
