ADAM Audio D3V Black

4,5/5

J'ai acheté ces enceintes en tant que passionné de musique et de son, sans être forcement dans le monitoring. Ce qui était attrayant c'était sa forme ultra compact pour un très gros son annoncé. Je ne suis pas déçu ! ça descend bas sans être boomy, et les aigus sont clairs et en avant sans être agressifs. J'adore écouter quobus avec mais aussi regarder des films où jouer aux jeux vidéos.

La praticité est dingue : USB C ( donc plug and play pour n'importe qui, contrairement aux Genelec que je miroitais dans le passé.) ,switch gauche - droite ultra simple, ce qui permet d'avoir facilement le bouton/jack à notre emplacement préféré.

J'ai cependant deux petites remarques négatives à faire. Déjà, le bouton multifonction peut changer le volume quand j'éteins les enceintes. En appuyant je bouge parfois d'un millimètre le volume, se qui est un peu embêtant, mais loin d'être grave.
Le deuxième, c'est un son bas que j'entends quand rien ne joue mais que l'enceinte est allumé. J'en ai parlé à Adam audio qui ont essayé de m'aider. Après de multiples échanges, nous en avons conclut que c'était un bruit normal qu'on beaucoup d'enceintes. Il mont donné la solution de brancher l'enceinte sur un prise avec un bouton on/off histoire d'éteindre facilement l'enceinte quand je n'utilise pas, et donc ne plus entendre ce bruit. Merci à eux !

Ces deux points n'entache en rien la qualité de l'enceintes, qui est de très bonne facture pour le prix. Du gros son de qualité depuis des enceintes si minus... J'adore !

Deja colis arrivé plus tot que prévu. merci.
Le adam d3v est une paire d'enceintes qui peut aller dans les 45hz.
Je les ai acheté pour amplifier un roland fantom0 et j'avoue que je suis très satisfait sauf que quand on compare au son de mes krk RP5 le son est moins profond dans les basses mais normale pour une comparaison 3 et 5 pouces.
Je peux aussi le brancher en usbc sur mon telephone ou ordi ou tablette qui tres pratique.
trop cool aussi le fait de pouvoir les suspendre sur les supports micros.
sur le fantom0 je branche en double jack TRS L et R directe sur le d3v.
trop pratique et pas besoin de beaucoup de prise pour 2 enceintes.

I never thought I would say this, but these are the buggiest speakers I have ever heard.
Adam Audio released a firmware update (1.7) to address several problems. While it's reasonable to tweak standby time or add additional standby options, it's unacceptable to need software fixes for audio problems in speakers.
It's outrageous that a speaker company would release speakers that don't work properly, and worse that they haven't succeeded in fixing them.
Currently, there are three problems with these speakers:

1. There is a volume threshold after which the output volume drops significantly. This threshold varies with the combination of software volume and knob position. If you set the knob all the way to the right, the problem becomes less apparent.

2. Now that you've turned the knob all the way to the right to fix issue 1, welcome to your next problem: the high-frequency gate. For some reason, Adam Audio decided people had enough of hearing hiss or hum in their studio monitors and fought it by adding a gate that disables the tweeter if the high-frequency amplitudes are "low enough." What's "low enough" for some is "worth hearing" for others. Having the tweeter stop working because the DSP decided the highs in your content aren't worth reproducing is unacceptable. The hissing they're trying to fight is now 10 times worse because instead of being gentle background noise, you hear it cut in and out constantly.

3. A LOUD POP occurs whenever your computer goes to sleep - it's scarily loud. While I understand it's this loud because I turned the knob all the way up (to mitigate issue 1), you'd think that given how useless this DSP is (causing problems - fixing nothing), they could've at least added POP protection. But this is the least of these speakers' problems.

The actual design of these speakers is great, and the sound (ignoring the DSP-caused audio problems) is amazing - those passive radiators really work some magic.
But I cannot recommend these speakers. I'm unsure if I'm just too sensitive to volume changes, as many people seem to review them highly without reporting issues. However, many others do report problems, so I'm not sure what to think.
In conclusion: If you ever wonder how speakers running Windows would sound like, be my guest. Otherwise, don't bother.

These are just perfect speakers for my desk. Overkill really. I don't make music, just really like to listen to tunes while I work. Nice and crisp sound. The low-end goes way deeper than you would expect. The volume won't be enough for a party in a medium room, but more than enough for me at my desk. The usb connection to my laptop works immediately without installing anything.

Small comments, but really nothing negative: - The speakers and feet are sturdy, but if someone would bump hard against my desk they probably will fall over. - More EQ options would be even better.

An upcoming firmware update will address two small niggles: the tweeter going inactive at low volumes, and sleepmode options (it currently shuts off after 20 mins, and doesn't have auto-wake). I'm happy that that firmware update is in the works.
