Understanding Your Speaker's Frequency Response Chart | ADAM Audio

Understanding Frequency Response Charts | ADAM Audio

In this video, ADAM Audio Product Manager, Stephan Mauer, deep-dives into how to understand frequency charts, and how they are used to judge the performance of a studio monitor. All of ADAM Audio's studio monitors extend past the typical range of human hearing at 20 kHz... all the way up to 50 kHz, limiting THD and ear fatigue so you can work longer hours.

ADAM Audio was founded in March 1999 in Berlin. Since then the company has been developing, manufacturing and distributing loudspeakers in the field of Professional Audio.

The development of the X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter based on the 1960’s invention of the Air Motion Transformer by Oskar Heil was largely responsible for the company’s founding. Producing sound not with a piston-like diaphragm as is done in most of the loudspeakers that are on the market, but using a pleated diaphragm that is capable of moving the air 4 times faster than the folds themselves are moving was the appealing idea behind it all. The achieved results were intriguing and gave ample reason for moving forward.

This was very informative. I'd like a frequency video comparison between one monitor from each series of monitors.

I adore human intelligence that does no harm. Nice presentation, a brief portion of which answered my question. Thank you.

[SamJPerez]

Thanks for these ADAM Audio. You put these out for free and they're so useful. Trust it will be effective -- I use another brand for budget reasons but you will be top of mind for me and many others when we think of upgrading.

Good stuff. I'm pretty sure with just a little effort even a beginner can figure some of it by reading the axes labels. What almost no streamers include in their presentations are details about smoothing. It was mentioned quickly here, but it is extremely important. Almost any defect can be concealed with smoothing. Every graph should have an indication of the smoothing so we can be sure our comparisons are valid.

Good to add frequency measured by your speakers and explain about Adam's decision making to have this curve or that curve.

Thank you for this very clear presentation👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[ChrisKluepfel]

So cool to learn about sound and alike. Coming from a visual background this is great to dip in my toes in a completely different subject. Well done!

Is higgher is better?? I need a iem earphone and I have SPL charts what to see in that 🙏

I just bought a pair of A7Xs and paired it with two SVS stereo subwoofers. But I cannot find the frequency response chart of A7X. It would be good to attach the frequency graphs to this video. Your videos about positioning, burn in etc are actually very useful. Thank you

In a parallel Universe: "Hello and welcome to another episode of How to Stephan Mauer. My name is Adam Audio..."

[azzinny]

Are AX series currently the worst in off-axis frequency response? They do not have the wave guide for the tweeters as in the newer Adam models.

Super video series by Adam audio and as a consumer of Adam products I'm very proud. Btw I'd like to know whether we can get the frequency curves of Adam speakers just to look and have an idea since everyone haven't got the privilege to hear all of the models in person. If we have the curves, we can see the graph of a particular model and order them online if we like and know the sound produces according to the that particular curve.

I'd you test for flat responds after speaker in already inside I finished box.... Do would you correct the fr if it's too imperfect.

Hi, I have never understood what my speaker crossover should be set at which is what brought me to this video hoping to find what I should set my crossover at. I understand that different channels have different frequencies but I don't know how to pull my crossover from that.
Currently, I have a collection of different brands of speakers. I use Definitive Technology BP-8040ST Bipolar Tower as my fronts, Definitive Technology CS-8040HD at center, Fluance Elite High Definition 2-Way Bipolar Surround Speakers with 2 old Onkyo bookshelf speakers as high fronts connected to a Sony STRDN1040. Yes I know it's pretty old but that's what I have to work with at the moment. how do I find the crossover? I tried the auto-calibrate but it just doesn't sound that good

[sadow]

I have a dumb question. What is the best speaker if I want to create the highest amplitude of 528hz frequency music? I am having trouble figuring this out. Thanks

[KaranSharmapersonal]

I am really interested in knowing which frequencies do's what. Example 9khz is responsible for pinna and other like so, i am not able to find anything throughout the internet relative to this topic, if you can explain it it will be very helpful. 👍

[aircombatmaneuvers]

Having speakers beyond and below human hearing capabilities (average person cannot hear above 15hz and most of the isntruments plays in the range of 1000 to 4000hz) reaching 50000 hz is very important for bats and dogs audiophiles.

[raphaelkasongo]

Hi, where do I find a frequency response graph of a speaker?

[sebastiann]

I've been thinking of buying studio monitors for many months, going back and forth of different monitors, for both hifi entertainment use and for music work as I would like to replace my Klipsch rp280f and rf52II speakers and my bulky av receiver to save A lot of useful space. s3v seems to tick lot of boxes for me not super expensive and nice design not too small or too huge. How well does s3v compare to RP280f in power and sound quality?
