Is it OK to leave powered speakers on all the time?
Keeping a powered speaker powered/on when it’s not in use will decrease its overall longevity. The electronics (amplifier and crossover) will wear out more quickly when kept running/hot. A speaker left on is also at increased risk of suffering damage by random/accidental power surges.
Do studio monitors need to break in?
It is unlikely studio monitors will need breaking in more than once, but if you go a long time without using the monitors materials may stiffen up and so it might be a good idea to leave the speakers on overnight again in order to replicate the “break-in” effect.
What is the point of the A7X’s ultra-high frequency response?
Given that human hearing only extends to around 20kHz at best, you may wonder what the point of the A7X’s ultra-high frequency response is, but the accuracy of the sound justifies Adam’s approach. Transients are reproduced with incredible clarity, creating an extremely detailed, precise sound.
What are the A7X’s output capabilities?
According to the published spec, the A7Xs have a frequency response of 42Hz to 50kHz, a long‑term output capability of over 106dB and a maximum peak‑level capability of 114dB. I certainly found that there was no shortage of volume for nearfield monitoring!
Are the Adam a77xs any good?
The Adam A77Xs are an outstanding monitoring solution. Mixing on the A77X was a pleasure because they didn´t cause fatigue during long sessions and they have no trouble resolving complex mixes. (…) If you are considering the purchase of a pair of monitors in this price range, you really need to hear the A77Xs.
What is the frequency range of the A7X tweeter?
This achieves a very clean and nuanced reproduction of the midrange frequencies with a seamless transition in the crossover from the 7″ woofer, which operates in the range of 42 Hz to 2.5 kHz, towards the X-ART tweeter. The A7X‘s ability to exactly reproduce every sonic detail no matter how small, its translucent sound image,…
