FOCAL SHAPE 50 ΕΝΕΡΓΟ STUDIO MONITOR 5″ 85W

Το Focal Shape  είναι η νέα σειρά monitor της Focal που προσφέρει μια σχεδίαση με πολλές καινοτομίες και νέες ιδέες.

Η Focal πρωτοπορεί για ακόμα μια φορά στα προσιτά nearfield monitors συνδιάζοντας μια καταπληκτική σχεδίαση με τεχνολογίες που παρουσιάστηκαν πρώτα στις κλασσικές και πολύ δημοφολείς πλέον σειρές SM.

To Shape 50 είναι το μοντέλο με γούφερ 5 " στην σειρά Shape το οποίο προσφέρει υψηλής ποιότητας ήχο αναφοράς στο studio, σε σουίτες μοντάζ, σε συνθέτες και παραγωγούς και σε κάθε χρήση που ο χώρος δεν είναι μεγάλος   αλλά οι ανάγκες για monitor ήχο αναφοράς είναι μεγάλες !

Συνδιάζοντας τεχνολογίες αιχμής με  flax-sandwich  για το woofer, ανεστραμένο M-shaped tweeter, καινοτόμα σχεδίαση και εξαιρετικά ηλεκτρονικά, όλα αυτά συνδιάζονται για την δημιουργία ενός ηχείου με εξαιρετικά ομαλή απόκριση συχνοτήτων και παντελή έλλειψη παραμόρφωσης.Ταυτόχρονα προσφέρει καθαρή μεσαία περιοχή και μεγάλη στερεοφωνική εικόνα.

Επίσης με την καινοτόμα σχεδίαση με διπλό radiator σε κλειστό κουτί μπορεί εύκολα να τοποθετηθεί κοντά σε τοίχους χωρίς να χρωματίσουν τα μπάσσα διατηρώντας μάλιστα πρωτόγνωρη ταχύτητα, έκταση, έλεγχο και ακρίβεια.

Με καινοτόμα σχεδίαση και τεχνολογίες που πρώτη φορά παρουσιάζονται σε monitor ηχεία αυτής της κατηγορίας, δεν είναι τυχαίο που η σειρά Shape της Focal γνωρίζει αμέσως τεράστια επιτυχία διεθνώς.

The smallest big sound ever...

With the A3X, ADAM Audio present their smallest monitor to date, making it perfectly suited for all environments where space is limited but sound shouldnʼt be constricted. The A3X combines a tiny footprint with the much acclaimed ADAM sound quality by using the X-ART tweeter for the higher frequencies, a guarantee for crystal clear music reproduction.

A 4.5” (basket) driver handles the lower registers. The diaphragm is made from carbon fiber, a material that is very light but very stiff and therefore capable of delivering colouring-free sound. Two built-in 25 Watt amplifiers powers each of the drivers directly.

Stereolink

A very handy and exclusive technology found in the two smaller AX monitors is the Stereolink. This is accomplished by a pair of additional RCA connections that allow for a bypass of the second stereo channel to the other speaker.

This new technology connects two A3X speakers in such a manner as to allow the user the option to control the overall stereo volume of the system from either speakerʼs gain control. This makes the A3X a natural for "mixer-less” desktop applications where overall system volume needs to be adjusted easily.

Controls and Connectors

The front of the A3X sports dual ports for surprisingly low frequency response down to 60Hz. The front panel also has power and gain controls. The rear panel includes a tweeter gain control as well as balanced (XLR) jacks and unbalanced (RCA) jacks, allowing for greater connection flexibility. There are also two M6 (6 mm) metric screw threads for stand/wall mounting.

Review: "Highly recommended"

"Iʼve used various monitors for my computer work before, but never of the caliber of the A3X series. Before these, I would have to redo my mixes significantly when transitioning from the small cheapies to the big 'real ones'. The ADAM Audio A3Xʼs save me a step by providing both great sound in a compact format and by changing mundane audio task-work into a quality listening experience. If you use good monitors from the outset, youʼll learn your music that much faster so that when it comes time for mixdown and mastering on your big boxes, youʼll already be acclimated to your songʼs subtler sonic aspects—aspects revealed only by the A3Xʼs with their sweet, smooth top end, and impressive handling of bass frequencies. Highly recommended.“

Review: "...one of the best compact monitors"

"ADAM´s A3X as the smallest monitor with a X-ART tweeter to date has convinced us in every respect. It´s one of the best compact monitors we have ever reviewed and with its almost shameless low price it´s worth every penny. (Professional Audio, 05/10)

S1X

The S1X nearfield monitor delivers high quality sound in a very small cabinet. The S1X has all the critical features of the new SX-Series: the X-ART tweeter in combination with the ADAM designed class A/B amplifier and the HexaCone woofer with optimized magnet/voice-coil systems, driven by premium PWM amplifiers.

The smallest reference speaker

The combined features of crystal clear resolution, tight and precise low-frequency reproduction and the effortless musical reproduction sets this speaker apart from all conventional designs.

The S1X is the first choice in all environments that require high quality within a small space, whether it is a smaller studio, an OB vehicle, or a 5.1 installation.

The original A5

The small A5 managed to make itself a big name in both professional environments as well as in computer or desktop applications. A wealth of truly outstanding reviews and many awards helped to establish this speaker as one "of the best small monitors” and a "great choice for the small studio.” (Future Music, 01/2009).

The new A5X

The similar dimensions and name could make one believe that the A5X is nothing more than a new version of the A5. A quick listening however leaves no doubt that the A5X is much more than that.

Like all other models of the AX-Series it features the proprietary X-ART tweeter. The very data of this technology shows that it is at the forefront of what tweeters can accomplish. Numerous listening tests have confirmed this.

A 5.5” Midwoofer reproduces the frequencies below 2.5kHz. The diaphragm is made from Carbon fiber/Rohacell/Glass fiber, which is the same composite structure shared in the next two bigger models. This material with minimum weight and maximum rigidity prevents break up resonances, resulting in an outstanding dynamic behaviour and impeccable sound characteristics.

A very handy and exclusive feature found in the two smaller AX monitors is the Stereolink. This is accomplished by a pair of additional RCA connections that allow for a bypass of the second stereo channel to the other speaker.

This makes the A5X a natural for "mixer-less” desktop applications where overall system volume needs to be adjusted easily.

Controls and Connectors

The front of the A5X sports dual ports for surprisingly low frequency response down to 50Hz. The front panel also has power and gain controls. The rear panel includes a tweeter gain control as well as balanced (XLR) jacks and unbalanced (RCA) jacks, allowing for greater connection flexibility. There are also two M6 (6 mm) metric screw threads for stand/wall mounting.

Review: "The A5X: a superb impression."

“A sparkling and lively desktop monitor with an open, powerful character. Good filters and practical ergonomics as well as useful equipment make ADAMs A5X an ideal partner in multimedia nearfield sound." (Stereo, 10/10)

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.
