Adam ADAM Audio DV3 2-Way 3.5" Active Desktop Monitor System (PAIR)

The D3V is a fully active desktop monitoring system designed for songwriters, producers, and music lovers who want to enjoy ADAM Audio sound quality as conveniently as possible. Available in white or black editions, the active monitors feature the iconic golden ribbon tweeter and stay true to ADAM Audio’s German industrial design heritage.

Each active pair features 3.5” aluminium woofers and a ferrite magnet system driven by 80 W amplifiers. The woofers are further complemented by dual-sided 3.5” passive radiators, allowing the D3V to extend as low as 45 Hz.

With 25 years’ experience working with ribbon tweeter technology, ADAM Audio has created a compact 1.5” D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter) to deliver precise and unfatiguing high-frequency reproduction, consistent with the performance of established ADAM Audio monitoring systems.

The D3V features a USB-C input, allowing the monitoring system to behave as a digital output device when connected to a computer, removing the need for an additional audio interface for playback. This plug-and-play functionality extends to mobile devices, providing high-quality audio without the compression or conversion normally associated with such connections. The D3V also features balanced ¼" TRS inputs for more traditional analogue audio applications.

The backplate of the left speaker includes a range of user-friendly switches to address common acoustical issues that arise from speaker placement. The front panel includes a headphone socket and volume knob that doubles as a control for audio input selection, muting, and other functions.

The D3V comes complete with detachable monitor stands angled at 15° toward the users’ ears. Additionally, there is a standard threaded 3/8” hole for microphone stand mounting on the underside of both monitors.
