ADAM Audio T5V 5-inch Active Studio Monitor

The T5V puts ADAM Audio's U-ART accelerated ribbon tweeter on a 5-inch polypropylene woofer, in a rear-ported cabinet small enough for a desk or a cramped edit bay. The 1.9-inch ribbon sits in an HPS waveguide that keeps the top end even across a wider seat than a dome tweeter usually manages.

Both drivers get their own PWM amplifier, 70 W RMS total, and shelving controls on the back panel trim the highs and lows for the room rather than leaving you to fix it in the mix. Analog input is XLR or RCA, and the pair holds 106 dB SPL at a meter.
