Adam T5V 5-stars Reviews

[email protected]

I ordered monitors exactly one year ago. Now I can leave an honest review. Monitors of high quality, both in sound and material. With proper installation of monitors, and acoustic treatment in the room, you can perform your professional acoustics for listening to music. Only a little is missing at the bottom, but overall happy with the purchase.

These are great monitors if you have a small studio in your apartment.

Great sound, the bass is tight and clear, and the highs are not shrill.

They exceeded my expectations and raise the bar for monitores of this price point.

pure sound. great for a small apartment

The Vibes So Far

The High end is very Crisp ....and the details in the lows are very present as well(which i normally wont hear on monitors of this size) .

Gives a good representation of loudness of sounds whether very low or very high in the mix/mastering process.

Texturing is amazing if songs are mixed very well , so its good for referencing in the mixing/process process.

Excellent studio monitors

I am a pro FOH engineer. I wanted a pair of studio monitors so that i can do some work from home, mix some multi tracks from previous shows, edit radio spots and when we start working again i will use them as reference for virtual sound check. I used to own a pair of Genelec 8020A and i have heard lots of studio monitors which are in the more expensive price range as they were installed in recording studios i've been.

I can say with confidence that the Adams are the best in this price range. They clearly sound as they are "upper shelf" equipment.

The sound is full in the whole frequency spectrum except from the lows to low mids where they have small dip there, but thats not something that i really miss. I actually think that i helps with the overall clarity of the monitors which is exceptional. It's just something to have in mind for the one's that use them for mixing.

That said, the overall lows of the monitors are extremely well defined not muddy and punchy. Now for the sub to low region of the spectrum they are so so full for the size of the speaker. I like bass but i like clean bass. And they deliver. I think that there is no need for sub except for the one's that may use it for movies. Definitely not for mixing. I had a sub in my previous setup and when i heard them i took it off. Also the +2db makes up for those who may want a little more bass.

The Mids are represented very nice.

The highs are just silky. Their frequency response is stellar for the money and the clarity they provide is just unheard for this price range.

Also the thing that they are not ear fatiguing is true thanks to the ribbon.

Also the soundstage they provide is huge. It's very wide and every instrument is well positioned in the stereo field.

Overall they are very analytical, full sounding and fairly flat. A good recording is going to sound very very nice. A bad one will get "busted".

So the pros are all these.

As for cons, is that they have the power button on the rear. But i have plugged them both on a power tile with power button so i can power them on and off easily. So not that much of a problem.

Another is that i would much appreciate if there was a distinct position for 0db as the volume pot moves freely.

If this is your price range, then get them with no hesitation.

They are going to deliver more than you would expect.

Price

By far the best in the price range.

An excellent partner!

I use these monitors for producing and mixing for my personal projects at discography an for theater music. I like the warm sound that they produce. I recommend them to everyone!

ADAAAAAAAAAM

Use it in a small room and it is more than enough.

I hear their bass is more than I expected.

Pros

quality of construction

rca output

Cons

volume knob is free to rotation

I also bought the Adam T10s and I recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to buy. The sub speech of the sub when you do not listen to music after a while the speakers enter stand by mode and as soon as you put music again they return to operation.

Clarity Heaven

If you are looking for crystal clear clarity in studio monitors then this is the way to go. Best monitors for the price on the market.

Very good speakers for your money

these monitors I bought not so long ago , but I want to mention their incredible detail , you do not need headphones, they can hear everything, all the tails of reverb and delay , and they convey well the attack of the instruments in the mix , very pleased with me for my money, I consider them the absolute leader among state employees of all firms , the bottom is quite clear , but still soft , fair play 50 Hertz , the top of the crystal , but in moderation, someone here wrote that they color the sound - It is not TRUE, if there is mud, it is immediately visible , in General, friends, take and do not think, the best offer for all of us!

One of the best speakers for this price

I can only compare with Edifier r2700. I am surprised, but in terms of the amount of bass T5V B is not inferior, and in quality it may even surpass Edifier. They are better, and this difference is audible, I began to understand what the 3D effect in sound means, they are more detailed, the sound is much wider (I want to say brighter, but this is probably not correct).

They are better than Edifiers r2700, but not twice. If you want to get something a level higher, you need to look at something more expensive. Or, which may even be cheaper and better, is to buy one, and then second subwoofer. So far, my plan is this.

Sorry for my English. Delivered to Russia in 15 days.

Good build. Good sound. Just a static hiss when standing close to the speakers, which have been avoided by the manufacturer.

The packaging is too bad.

It's coming a long way, but the packaging was so poor that I didn't feel good.

But the sound is good.

Awesome budget monitors

I?ve bought them cause I love Adam as a brand and needed new nearfield monitors. They are great for a small room.

The highs are remarkebly clear and the mids are very transparent.

For their size they also deliver a pretty good sound in the lows.

Only thing is, that they do make a little noise, but it?s not critical I think. They still are budget speakers.

Better than every other monitors I?ve heard in this price range and even than some middle class monitors, I think.

Definitely would recommend them!

Great sound for a small monitor

I ordered one monitor to use with my DJ setup, and wow this thing packs a punch. Good bass for its size, and they almost sound better than my old A7s. The only downside is that the volume control is on the back, I'd rather have it on the front like with the A7s.

Must-have monitors

Very good sound from the legendary brand. Great sound, nice look, very high quality. The best buy ever, I think!

Great Monitor for its price

Got my pair about 1 year ago, still working fine. I mainly use them for making guitar covers and listen to music.

Pros:

It has a very balanced and strong output, very good for living room music playing as well as listening to the guitar voice from effects processor. Great equipment for making music.

Cons:

EQ not as flat as the Yamaha HS series, but at this price I am satisfied by what i get.

Best All-rounders for the price.

My Emes Waldorf monitors were up for replacement. These were over twice the price when new, so I didn't expect a fair comparison but hoped the Adams would be acceptable. Much to my surprise though, these Adams had deeper lows and higher highs than the Emes did! Moreover, they provide such a wide frequency range without becoming boomy or shouty. This gentle behaviour means the mid-range isn't pushed away like often happens with cheaper speakers.

Compared to the Yamaha HS5/HS7, the midrange is less expressive, which can be tricky when mixing guitars and vocals. But the overall frequency response is much broader, allowing for more 'air' to be heard in the mix. Also, the Yamaha's can be very tiring to listen to.

The T7V has even deeper low-end and provides more punch for bigger rooms. However, the T5V is slightly tighter in the midrange and more suitable for true near-field monitoring. Looking for Hi-Fi speakers in the living room? Get the T7V! looking for really transparent monitors in a small studio? Get the T5V! Truly the best all-round monitors for the price!

Downside: No power indicator light on the front, so it's hard to tell whether they're on or off.

Great bang for the buck monitors for quality/design

Solid monitors that provide punchy bass, crystal highs and range-full mids.

I've been using them for curation and playing the keys, I could not be any more satisfied for 5'' monitors I believe. The design is also sleek and the twitter cage stands out.

The ribbon twitters produce crystal highs however they are quite more directional than standard twitters so its essential in your setup that they are aligned with your ears correctly.

Overall highly recommended, especially considering the price.

Clean and pleasant sound

I've been wanting to buy some speakers from Adam audio for a long while and now that they have released a budget version I was finally able to get some for myself and I couldn't be happier.

I used to have problems with ear fatigue after many hours of making music in the studio, but that problem is completely gone with these speakers. I can listen and produce music on them for hours and my ears are just fine.

The strongest point these speakers have is their sound quality. It has a lot of depth, making it a lot easier to hear the separate sounds in your mix (or even in tracks you have heard a million times)

I gave a lesser rating to the features because there are not many controls provided for your sound (just a 2db boost or reduction on highs and lows) but then again, the sound is already so good that it needs little adjustment. Also, these speakers have a lower volume then most speakers so it's best to have a decent soundcard or mixer connected to them to get the most out of it.
