Product Details

Designed for songwriters, producers, and music lovers, the D3V monitors can be directly connected to computers and mobile devices via USB-C and offer a wealth of features, plus incredible audio performance in a remarkably compact form.

THE D3V

The D3V is a fully active desktop monitoring system that stays true to ADAM Audio’s industrial design heritage and features the iconic AMT tweeters. Each pair features 3.5” aluminum woofers and a ferrite magnet system, driven by an astonishing 240 W total system amplification. Dual-sided 3.5” passive radiators bolster bass frequencies and allow the D3V to extend down to 45 Hz.

Equipped with a USB-C input and two balanced TRS sockets, D3V offers high-quality digital and analogue connections. Streamlined controls include a multi-function volume knob, intuitive room compensation switches and a multi-color status indicator. The D3V comes complete with detachable monitor stands as well as in-built threaded mic stand mounting points (3/8″) for perfect positioning in any environment.

Available in black or white editions, the D3V’s finish can be chosen to match your taste and compliment your environment.

FUTURE PROOF INNOVATIONS

Explore the technology

ADAM Audio monitors have earned a worldwide reputation for the innovations that we have established in the field of loudspeaker technology. Here you can explore the technology of the D3V.

D-ART 1.5" Hand-Folded Tweeter

The D3V utilizes a 1.5” D-ART tweeter so that customers can enjoy precise and unfatiguing high frequency reproduction.

USB-C & Balanced Analog Inputs

The D3V offers a direct plug’n’play USB-C connection to computers, mobiles, and tablets. Traditional ¼” TRS inputs are also included.

DSP Room Adaption

The D3V features DSP-powered 3-way switches to address common acoustical issues arising from speaker placement.

3.5” Woofers & Dual-Sided Passive Radiators

Partnering with the D-ART system, the D3V utilizes 3.5” woofers, a ferrite magnet system and passive radiators for the low frequencies.

One Button Control

The D3V’s multi-function volume control allows users to quickly access the common functions that make life that little bit easier ...

Monitor Stands & Mounting Options

Detachable feet are included as standard, plus users will find a 3/8” mic stand mounting point on the underside.
