ADAM X-ART: Extended Accelerating Ribbon Technology
ADAM Audio is a German company that produces top of the line loudspeakers. ADAM produces both studio monitors as well as active home loudspeakers which you will find are very distinct from other products in the same range. ADAM produces everything from nearfield to big main monitors when it comes to studio monitors so you can pretty much take your pick and find something to suit you from this range. ADAM is renowned for the incredible clarity of high frequencies which is derived from the unique Air Motion Transformer tweeter design which is essentially a folded ribbon A.R.T. (Accelerating Ribbon Technology) and can be used on the midranges in larger speaker design. However, recently ADAM has also incorporated advanced X-ART technology which brings dramatic improvements in sound quality.
Dr. Oskar Heil was the first one to develop the previous Air Motion Transformer concept upon which the new X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) is based. These tweeters and midranges have been improved upon by ADAM Audio so consumers get unbeatable audio fidelity. The quality of audio production has never been better because the X-ART technology involves the use of the kinematics of moving air to create a dramatic improvement. Consisting of a pleated diaphragm, the X-ART membrane has folds that expand and compress according to the applied audio signal just like an accordion design. This eventually results in the drawing in and squeezing out of air. The motor is remarkably superior and the design overcomes the problematic piston motion of traditional drivers. Now this technology means you can use the ADAM X-ART drive units to experience remarkable clarity and pure transient reproduction.
There is no breakup or distortion at higher frequencies and there is no subsequent dynamic limiting thanks to the revolutionary pleated membrane. Since the driving stripes are directly in contact with the external air there are no overheating issues. More area simply means more dynamics which is why the diaphragm area of the X-ART Technology is also helpful in giving it its distinct value. When it comes to establishing the dynamic range of a transducer, the diaphragm area is an important aspect. The acoustically-active area of the loudspeaker is the cone area. A larger foil can be used with X-ART technology (which is where it differs from other drive units) and this is possible because the X-ART diaphragm is used folded. More foil usage means an increase in acoustically-effective area by about 2.5 times, so you get extremely wide dispersion and a higher dynamic output. Without a doubt, the ADAM AX technology is simply an excellent way to redefine Air Motion Transformer design concepts and to improve the quality of these devices manufactured by ADAM Audio. There is no doubt that ADAM Audio's ART tweeter has always been a significant feature of their products but now, with the development of X-ART technology, these devices provide even more value for the price you pay for them.
