ADAM is about to unveil the AX series of studio monitors at the upcoming MusikMesse.
Following ADAM's A and SX-Series monitor systems, the AX Series includes four high performance systems, ranging from the ultra-compact and fully professional A3X, to the high performance A5X, A7X and A8X systems.
The changes made to the A5X and the A7X are not simply developments but a fundamental revision of the A-Series. ADAM Audio took all aspects of the performance of the original A-Series and overhauled and improved them.
One of the main improvements of the top line monitors SX-Series, the X-ART tweeter, now replaces the ART tweeter in the new AX versions. The X-ART tweeter features an even higher efficiency and maximum sound pressure level as well as a frequency response up to 50kHz. All woofers and amplifiers have also been reengineered from scratch, featuring larger voice-coils and amps with twice the power for higher linear excursions and more output. Last but not least, the cabinets have been redesigned, all models sport two bass reflex ports.
Finally, two completely new models complement the AX-Series. The A3X is now ADAMs smallest monitor ever, and the larger A8X opens the door to midfield monitoring and is the top of the AX line.

Mar 19 - 11:55 AM | Audio Hardware > Two Notes Audio Engineering |
For the first time in Europe, Two Notes Audio Engineering will be presenting its new product, the VM-202, at the upcoming MusikMesse.
The Torpedo VM-202 is a dual-processor guitar/bass cab simulator. It handles both analog (line balanced/unbalanced) and digital signals (S/PDIF, AES/EBU). Plug in your bass/guitar pre amp (or other instrument with a line output) and benefit from our exclusive tube stage simulator, along with the acclaimed Torpedo algorithm. You can play 2 cab + microphone simulations simultaneously and reproduce a multi microphone miking process.
Please come and meet the Two Notes team at booth C48, Hall 4.0, and try out the products.
