ADAM is not named after the first man on earth, but rather an acronym for Advanced Dynamic Audio Monitors, and that is exactly what they are building at the factory down there in Berlin.ADAM differs from other professional monitors, primarily due to the midrange and treble units, which operate on the AMT (Air Motion Transformer) principle, which has many advantages over traditional units. ADAM is known for an open and neutral sound, and is also the preferred monitor in a large number of leading studies.
