Designed for songwriters, producers, and music lovers, the D3V monitors can be directly connected to computers and mobile devices via USB-C and offer a wealth of features, plus incredible audio performance in a remarkably compact form.
THE D3V
The D3V is a fully active desktop monitoring system that stays true to ADAM Audio’s industrial design heritage and features the iconic AMT tweeters. Each pair features 3.5” aluminum woofers and a ferrite magnet system, driven by an astonishing 240 W total system amplification. Dual-sided 3.5” passive radiators bolster bass frequencies and allow the D3V to extend down to 45 Hz.
Equipped with a USB-C input and two balanced TRS sockets, D3V offers high-quality digital and analogue connections. Streamlined controls include a multi-function volume knob, intuitive room compensation switches and a multi-color status indicator. The D3V comes complete with detachable monitor stands as well as in-built threaded mic stand mounting points (3/8″) for perfect positioning in any environment.
Available in black or white editions, the D3V’s finish can be chosen to match your taste and compliment your environment.
D-ART 1.5" Tweeter
The D3V utilizes a compact 1.5” D-ART AMT tweeter so that customers can enjoy the same precise and unfatiguing high frequency reproduction that ADAM Audio’s established monitoring systems are known for.
The ART of Audio
The D-ART is produced in the same way as our larger designs. The folded membrane offers more than four times the surface area vs. an equivalent sized dome tweeter and the motion of the pleats is what makes AMT tweeters so responsive and revealing.
In detail
Instead of forcing the air (as per the pistonic movement of most speakers), AMTs create a vacuum when the pleats contract which naturally draws air into the folds. It is then “exhaled” when the membrane expands and the pleats open in the opposite direction, expelling the air rather than pushing it. This creates the breathy quality, analytical detail and sparkling, insightful presentation that ADAM Audio AMTs are known for.
Driven by independent 40 W high frequency amplifiers (80 W total), the D3V retains the performance characteristics that have made this design so popular on our larger speakers.
USB-C & Balanced Analog Inputs
The D3V offers a direct USB-C connection for plug’n’play connections to computers, mobiles, and tablets. Traditional ¼” TRS inputs are also included for connecting to instruments, interfaces and other studio equipment.
The D3V features a USB-C input which means the onboard electronics behave as a digital output device when connected to a computer. This negates the need for an additional audio interface for playback. The plug’n’play functionality extends to mobile devices so that high-quality audio can be enjoyed without the compression or conversion normally associated with such connections.
The D3V also features balanced ¼” TRS inputs for more traditional analog audio applications, enabling direct connection to instruments for live playback without a sound card, or connection to mixers and other studio gear as the final output device.
