Adam Audio S6X Studio Monitor 4-Way Dual- 12 Inch

S6X uses a symmetrical concept to increase the realistic reproduction of ADAM Audio monitors to higher sound pressure levels. S6X features wide horizontal radiation characteristic and moderate vertical beaming. Together, these minimize the impact of ceiling and floor reflections and achieve neutral sound reproduction at high volumes.

Extended D’Appolito design

What’s more, S6X features gradual transitions. In addition, S6X features a horizontal symmetry which is comparable to an expansion of the D’Appolito configuration. This, combined with suitable transition frequencies and filter slopes results in radiation patterns that lead to very consistent reproduction characteristics in the horizontal center position.

The reduction in vertical dispersion ensures that there are also reductions in reflections from the ceiling, floor, or mixing console. Thus, so called ‘early reflections’ have less chance to interfere. As a result, experience significantly better stereo imaging and a more three-dimensional sound.

Impulse Coupling 

Furthermore, the Alucore® panels are prime examples of the developments of ADAM Audio. This is an extra firm component material with an aluminum honeycomb core. Furthermore, mount all drivers of the S6X and S7A Mk2 on such panels. As a result, this considerably improves mechanical coupling between the drivers and the cabinet.

The S6X: accuracy and power

A number of innovative approaches in conjunction with uncompromising effort in all sonically relevant areas make the S6X one of the largest and most sophisticated active monitors currently available. The horizontal symmetry design is conscious of harmonic and generous diaphragm area proportions to achieve not only a flat frequency response, but also a consistent dynamic behavior within the entire frequency range.

Easily analyse and spatially arrange complex orchestral structures with S6X. Extensive control options on the front panel allow for adjusting to different acoustic situations or personal taste.

Amplification

The built-in amplifiers are coupled to the respective drivers as directly as possible. As a result, the remote amplifier units do not compromise the advantages of active technology. One 500 Watt amplifier is assigned to each of the 12″ woofers, while 250 Watt units are used the other bands of the frequency range.

The main monitor combines very high accuracy exceptional power: S6x produces SPL peaks far beyond 130dB without any compression or harshness. Overall, the S6X is an excellent choice for large control rooms and film or sound studios.

Control panel

In addition to the input sensitivity that can be adapted in the range of ±10 dB, there are four other level controls that affect the individual amplifier modules. Shelving filters at both ends of the frequency spectrum and three fully parametric equalizers help compensate for standing waves in the control room. The EQs can be inserted separately or grouped so their effect can be directly evaluated.
