ADAM Audio has teamed up with Raumfeld to launch a high performance wireless speaker system.
Based on ADAM's A-series monitor systems, the new Speaker M has been co-developed with Raumfeld to offer the same sound quality in a convenient and versatile wireless format.
The Speaker M is equipped with ADAM's new X-ART tweeter, which features a frequency response up to 50 kHz, efficiency of 96 dB/W/m and a higher maximum sound pressure level. ADAM's 5.5 inch Rohacell subwoofer is employed in the low frequency range.
ADAM's integrated digital amplifier was perfectly adapted to these speakers for true high-definition sound. Both amplifiers (each with 25/40 W RMS/music) are built-in, eliminating the need for additional components.
Using Raumfeld's wireless system, audio enthusiasts can comfortably enjoy exceptional music reproduction in different rooms throughout the home. The system includes a user-friendly touch screen remote, standards-based music server and high-quality WLAN-speakers. Existing equipment can easily be integrated. To ensure absolutely synchronous reproduction Raumfeld has developed a technology for standard WLAN porticos, which is patent-pending.
Delivery is in March 2010.
