The ADAM Audio S6X is a pristine-sounding active 4-way main monitor designed for large control rooms and film studios. Two custom 12″ HexaCone woofers deliver powerful low-end, while two 7.5″ HexaCone midrange drivers and two newly designed X-ART drivers offer a balanced, neutral frequency response up to 50 kHz. With over 2000W of power, the S6X is capable of reproducing hyper-accurate sound up to 123dB with zero distortion, making it the perfect blend of accuracy and power.

Extended Stereo Width

The S6X main monitor uses seven individual speakers arrayed in an extended D’Appolito configuration to deliver consistent sound reproduction no matter where you’re sitting. This groundbreaking design greatly reduces early reflections from the ceiling, floor and mixing console. With an extended stereo image and an immersive three-dimensional sound, the S6X makes you feel like you’re sitting inside the mix.

HexaCone Design

Equipped with two 12-inch HexaCone woofers and two 7.5-inch HexaCone midrange drivers, the S7A Mk2 offers stunning accuracy. These Kevlar-coated drivers are extremely rigid, yet surprisingly lightweight. This unique design prevents the cone from distorting, even at extremely high levels. Spacious front-firing bass reflex ports improve low-end accuracy and minimise compression.

Many traditional reference monitors feature massive woofers designed to impress listeners, which often cause excessive bass response. ADAM woofers have been designed to reproduce sound material with the highest possible accuracy for ideal translation.

X-ART Technology

The S6X is equipped with two X-ART midrange drivers and one X-ART tweeter – all handmade in Berlin. ADAM Audio’s groundbreaking new eXtended Accelerated Ribbon Technology (X-ART) tweeters and midrange drivers offer unparalleled accuracy. With an innovative folded diaphragm design, X-ART drivers are able to minimise distortion – even at high levels.

X-ART membranes offer lighting-fast transient response by utilising a larger surface area and improved air velocity over traditional tweeters. Each driver is mounted using Adam’s new Impulse Coupling method, which utilises an acoustically flat, ultra-stiff 25 mm-thick aluminum honeycomb plate to reduce resonances from the wooden cabinet.

Class D Amplification

All six drivers are powered by their own rock-solid Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Also known as Class-D amplification, these highly efficient amps use less power and generate less heat, saving on wear and tear over time.

With over 2000 total Watts of power, the S6X can reach a maximum SPL up to 123dB with minimal distortion. Combined with state-of-the-art input and filter sections, these cutting-edge monitors offer unparalleled audio quality.
