The SC305 is Eve Audioʼs most affordable three-way monitor system. The centrally located tweeter ensures that itʼs equally at home in the middle position of a 5.1 surround system or a conventional two-way stereo setup.
Inside the SC305 are three independent 50-watt power amps, with one feeding each driver. The two woofers operate across different frequency bands. One handles everything from 50–350Hz as a dedicated ʽbass wooferʼ, while the other takes care of everything from 350Hz up to the crossover point of the tweeter at 3kHz. Eve Audio claims that this even distribution of frequencies optimises efficiency and dynamics and achieves a low noise floor.
Verdict
+ Power switch at front
+ Volume control at front
+ EQ at front
+ Well-controlled bass
+ Transparent acoustic quality
+ No port chuffing
+ Nice and loud
+ Ease of use

The CMS 50 is the most compact monitoring loudspeaker of all the Focal Professional range. Its design permits listening from 50cm away, while still keeping the possibility of the monitors at a great distance from one another without damaging the soundstage. The 5” mid-woofer reaches down to 55Hz, while offering a controlled bass and a totally linear midrange. The midrange register of the CMS 50 has unequalled neutrality in its price range. The Al-Mg inverted dome tweeter offers outstanding dynamics and a degree of definition in the treble that allow precise measurement of reverb and other effects which are normally very difficult to assess.

S2X
The S2X brings together the virtues of the ʽclassicalʼ 7” woofer and tweeter combination by using ADAM innovative technologies and top-class materials.
The HexaCone 7” woofer is driven by a sophisticated magnet system with a 2” voice coil creating a greater linear excursion. This produces more dynamics than one would assume in a monitor of such small proportions. As a result, in addition to the unsurpassed audio quality of the X-ART and A/B amplifier combination, this monitor surprises the listener with a very powerful, deep, but always tight and precise low end.
Review at a glance: "Sonic sensation“
“The ADAM Audio S2X can convince in all areas, concerning the sound as well as the workmanship, and are worth every Euro. […] a no-compromise tool for all who mean serious business, whether in music or postproductions.” (www.96kHz.de, 03/2010)
“We started off with a classical string quartet recording and let´s just say right away that the S2Xs floored us. Several adjectives spring to mind [...] - wide open, transparent, effortless, breathtaking realistic, loud, dynamic, involving... [...] If you close your eyes and continue listening, the S2Xs seem to ‚disappearʽ almost entirely. [...] you gradually become less aware that you´re listening to speakers because they´re like an open window on the music itself. [...] Result: These monitors are up there with the best we´ve tried so far.” (MusicTech, 01/2010)
