ADAM Audio S5H Three-Way Powered Horizontal Main Monitor

The ADAM Audio S5H is a flagship, horizontally oriented main monitor designed for the most demanding studio and post-production environments. Dual 10″ Extended Linear Excursion (ELE) bass drivers deliver rock-solid, distortion-free low end down to 25 Hz, while the 4″ hybrid dome-cone midrange ensures natural, transparent mids. ADAM’s handcrafted S-ART ribbon tweeter provides ultra-detailed highs up to 50 kHz with a wide, even sweet spot.

Tri-amplified with powerful PWM Class-D modules—700 W per woofer, 300 W for midrange, and 100 W for the tweeter—the S5H achieves up to 131 dB SPL per pair without clipping. Built-in DSP handles precision crossovers, parametric EQ, shelving filters, limiter-based driver protection, and room-tuning presets via the free S Control software or USB. Milled aluminum waveguides optimize dispersion for multiple listening positions in large control rooms.
