1. Introduction

Dear customer,

Congratulations on choosing an ADAM Audio S1X monitor!

ADAM loudspeakers are built for maximum audio perfection. With the S1X

you have selected a precise, high resolution speaker system that allows

you to professionally evaluate audio recordings. This monitor meets highest

expectations in sound quality and craftmansship.

This manual is intended to provide you with information about your new

ADAM. It contains important information regarding safety, setting up,

handling, and warranty. We request that you read these sections carefully

to ensure an easy set up and to prevent potential problems.

S1X

The S1X is suitable for nearﬁeld monitoring. It is an ideal tool for situations

where a combination of no-compromise sound reproduction and a small

footprint is required.

The S1X is a two-way ported active system that uses the new X-ART

tweeter, ensuring full compatibility with the latest expanded high frequency

resolution media formats, and one HexaCone©-bass/midrange driver.

The cone driver uses a PWM amp with continuous output of up to 250

Watts (RMS). The tweeter is powered by a new A/B amp that has been

limitations.

Questions? Problems?

If you have any questions about this or any of our products, please don’t

hesitate to contact us–we will be happy to assist you in any possible way.

We hope very much that you really enjoy your new loudspeakers, and wish

you many delightful hours with them.

The ADAM Audio Team

2. Information For Set Up / Quick Start

2.1 Important information for set up

Acclimation: After having unpacked your loudspeaker, please allow the

system to acclimate to the temperature of the room. Please do not connect

the speaker for approximately an hour.

HQ Cabling: We recommend using high quality cables to guarantee optimal

performance.

Solid stand: It is important to ensure the speakers stand ﬁrmly on a solid

ground!

Package: We recommend not to damage the package and to retain it. The

original packaging is the best guarantee for safe transportation (see 7.).

Break-in time: Please note that the loudspeakers will need a few days to

achieve optimum sonic performance.

2.2 Quick start S1X

Before connecting the loudspeakers to your audio components and the

power source make sure that both the loudspeakers and your audio system

is switched off!

a. Set all level controls fully counterclockwise.

b. Connect the loudspeakers with your audio units: Use a XLR cable. The male

plug goes into the loudspeaker, the female plug into your audio component.

c. Check if the speciﬁed voltage matches the voltage of the power supply

you use. If this is not the case do not connect the loudspeakers to a power

source! Please contact your local dealer or national distributor.

If the voltages match, connect the loudspeakers via the included power

cables to two AC sockets.

d. Switch on the on/off switches on the back panels of the loudspeakers.

e. Switch on your audio system/your source of music and adjust the volume

carefully.

3. Speaker Placement

3.1 General recommendations/advises

Direct sound ways: There should be no obstacles in the way from the

monitor to your ears. You should be able to see the speakers completely.

Distance to walls: The distance to the surrounding walls should be at least

40 cm to avoid early reﬂections, which will degrade the sound.

Alignement: The loudspeakers should be aligned with the listener’s position.

Nearby objects: Please note that vibrating parts of nearby objects can

mask the sound.

Mechanical adjustements: If you plan to modify the speaker cabinet (e.g.

drilling holes), please contact us before doing so. Usually, we will handle

your warranty obliging.

3.2 Tweeter at the height of ears

The Tweeter should be positioned approximately at the height of your ears.

In case you need to position the speaker in a signiﬁcant lower or higher

position, the monitor should be angled accordingly.

3. Speaker Placement

3.3 Stereo set up

If the loudspeaker is going to be used for stereo applications, the optimum

listening position should be located in the middle of a stereo triangle. This

means that your listening position will be located at the top of an imaginary

equilateral triangle and the two loudspeakers should be placed at the other

two points of this triangle.

3.4 Surround set up

Speaker positioning for multi-channel stereo purposes is ideally based

on a circle with speakers placed at 0° (Center), 30° (Front Right), 110°

(Rear Right), 250° (Rear Left), 330° (Front Left), with the listener being

the circle’s center (Radius between 0.7-2.0 m). This ITU recommended

conﬁguration may vary depending on the purpose of the control room

(music or ﬁlm). However, it is recommended to create a symmetrical

listening position with the front side and surround speaker pointing to the

listener’s ear.

Figure 2: Stereo Triangle

• both loudspeakers and the listening

spot should be a equilateral triangle

• approx. the same distances

between loudspeakers and the

loudspeakers / the listening spot

• alignment towards listening spot

4.LEDs / Controls

4.1 LED

On the bottom of the tweeter you ﬁnd

an LED. It indicates Power on and, in

case of an overload, the function of the

protective circuit.

Please note: When the speaker is

switched on, the LED will ﬂash red a

few times. This does not indicate an

overload!

• The LED starts to glow green during

normal operation (the power switch

is located on the rear side of the

speaker).

• In case of an overload, the OL LED will

ﬂash red. The protective curcuit will

safe your speaker from damage.

4.2 The control panel

On the rear you will ﬁnd a control

panel that allows detailed ﬁne-tuning

of your loudspeakers to your particular

room acoustics and personal listening

preferences. The following tips are

intended to assist you at using the

controls in the best manner.

Please note that using the controls may have a great impact on the overall

sound characteristics of your loudspeakers. We recommend using the

controls with utmost care and only after several audio tests with familiar

recordings.

4.3 Input Gain

‘Input Gain’ regulates the overall input sensitivity of

your loudspeaker within a range of -10 to +10 dB, and

controls the volume of your loudspeaker equally in all

frequency ranges.

4.4 High Gain

Whereas the ‘Input Gain’ raises or lowers the overall in-

put sensitivity up to +/-10 dB, the ‘Tweeter Gain’ works

within the frequency range of the tweeter (>1.800 Hz)

only, raising or lowering up to +/-4 dB.

This is a considerable change of the sound characteristic

and should be used with caution. However, to meet difﬁcult room acoustics

or adapt to a special taste the Tweeter Gain will serve you well.

4.5 High / Low shelf ﬁlter (Room EQs)

The other two controls operate in a different manner.

The ‘High Shelve’ is a shelving ﬁlter that progressively

raises or lowers above 6 kHz up to 6 dB. Whereas the

gains raise or lower a speciﬁc frequency range as a

whole, the shelve ﬁlters do not alter a whole frequency

band but alter in this band: from a certain point (6 kHz

respectively 150 Hz in this case) the frequencies are

gradually being changed (see ﬁgure 5 & 6).

Figure 6

ROOM EQ >6 kHz for the high

frequencies above 6 kHz

Figure 5

ROOM EQ <150 Hz for the low

frequencies below 150 Hz
