General

The S2X by Adam features the benefits of the classic 7-inch woofer and tweeter combination along with Adam technology and top-notch materials. The HexaCone 7-inch woofer is powered by a sophisticated magnet system with a 2-inch voice coil that gives you a larger linear excursion and more dynamics than you'd expect from a monitor of this size. The unparalleled audio quality of the X-ART and A/B amp combination can't be beat, and the result is a powerful, deep, tight sound with all the low you can handle!

Wrote the following about Adam S2X active DJ and studio monitor (per unit)

De s2x is een vrij kleine speaker, en met name het laag loopt erg ver door voor zo'n maatje. Je hebt het gevoel naar een veel grotere speaker te luisteren. Door de zware versterker is de bas en lomid weergave erg gecontroleerd. Verder valt natuurlijk het mooie hoog op. Al met al een erg goede speaker, waarop zeker lekker te mixen valt.

Als je heel kritisch bent zijn er een paar dingen: De bas en hoog weergave is licht "gehyped", alles onder de 60 a 55 hz is ongeveer 5db te hard, en alles boven de 6 khz ongeveer 4db.

Ik heb de speakers doorgemeten, en na "aftrek" van de mij bekende problemen van de ruimte bleef dit als opvallende eigenschappen over. Verder viel het mij op dat de tweeter tussen de 3 en 7 khz juist wat zachter was.

De maximale geluidsdruk valt tegen. Het is meer dan voldoende voor nearfield gebruik, binnen de 1 a 2 meter afstand, maar als je de speakers in een wat grotere ruimte beluisterd komen ze echt volume tekort. Toevoeging van een sub om ze wat te ontlasten maakte niet echt veel uit.(ik heb ze in combinatie met de sub 12 van Adam geprobeerd, volgens de specs was dit wel een goede combi, maar ze redden ze het niet, de beveiliging ging nog steeds veel te snel aan, de sub kon in verhouding veel meer aan).

Ik was zelf zoals je al gemerkt hebt op zoek naar een speaker die een redelijk volume zou kunnen neerzetten (als het even moet, ik mix soms ook zacht :)), het is uiteindelijk voor mij de "Event Opal" geworden, ook om andere redenen. Zie ook mijn review van die speaker.

Al met al is de ADAM s2x een interessante nearfield voor in een niet te grote ruimte, naast je computerscherm(en) of voor AV ruimtes, mobiele studio's etc.
