ADAM Audio D3V - Studio sound. Desktop size.
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.
