ADAM Audio D3V Active Desktop Monitor System - Pair, Black

The ADAM Audio D3V Active Desktop Monitor System is the ultimate solution for songwriters, producers, and audiophiles seeking premium sound quality in a compact form. Available in sleek white or black finishes, these monitors feature ADAM Audio’s signature golden ribbon tweeter and embody German engineering excellence.

Each D3V monitor boasts a 3.5” aluminium woofer powered by an 80W amplifier, along with a 3.5” dual-sided passive radiator, allowing deep bass response down to 45 Hz. ADAM Audio’s 25 years of ribbon tweeter expertise shines through in the 1.5” D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter), delivering crystal-clear, fatigue-free high frequencies for every listening session.

Equipped with a USB-C input, the D3V system functions as a direct digital output device, eliminating the need for an audio interface and providing plug-and-play connectivity with computers and mobile devices. For versatility, balanced ¼" TRS inputs are available for traditional analog setups, while the left speaker’s back panel includes convenient acoustic tuning switches for optimal placement adjustments.

Front-panel features like a headphone socket and multi-function volume knob allow easy control, while the included angled stands ensure perfect positioning toward the listener’s ears. For additional mounting options, each monitor has a 3/8” threaded hole for microphone stand compatibility. Experience studio-grade sound with the ADAM Audio D3V, available now at Musicmaker!

Fully Active Aluminium 3.5” Woofers & Ferrite Magnet System

Engineered with precision, the D3V’s aluminium 3.5” woofers and ferrite magnet system minimise unwanted distortions, delivering a pure, uncoloured sound even at high volume. Each one-piece, concave cone is crafted from thick, ridged aluminium for a broad linear range, ensuring detailed audio clarity. With a fully active design, the D3V runs on four independent amplifier channels, including 80W amplifiers for the woofers, while an amplified link cable powers the right speaker.

D-ART Tweeter

Backed by 25 years of ribbon tweeter expertise, the 1.5” D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter) is a powerhouse in high-frequency performance. Every diaphragm is hand-folded, driven by a 40W amplifier and DSP-optimised crossover tuning. This sophisticated design delivers crisp, fatigue-free highs ideal for long listening sessions, making it perfect for precise monitoring and mixing.

Passive Radiators

The D3V employs dual-sided passive radiators for an extended low-frequency response and enhanced overall output. Crafted from stainless steel with stabilised rubber surrounds, each radiator works in harmony with the main woofers to amplify the lowest frequencies, delivering a full, powerful sound across a broad range.

Direct USB-C Input

A plug-and-play USB-C input makes the D3V an easy, versatile choice, enabling direct digital connections to computers, tablets, and mobile devices without an additional audio interface. This high-quality digital pathway ensures uncompromised audio playback, maintaining the original sound without the compression typically found in desktop monitors.

DSP Room Acoustics

The left speaker features three DSP switches to adjust for typical acoustic challenges, offering tailored settings for speaker position, desk size, and room treatment. This customisable setup lets you achieve optimal sound in any room, from small home studios to larger workspaces.

Balanced Analogue Inputs

The D3V offers versatile connection options, with balanced analogue inputs for seamless integration with audio interfaces, synthesizers, and DJ equipment. Switching between USB-C and analogue inputs is simple with a press of the volume knob, enhancing connectivity for a wide range of setups.

Headphone Output, Monitor Stands & Mounting Options

Designed with user convenience in mind, the D3V includes a front-facing headphone jack that automatically mutes speaker playback. The package also includes angled, detachable monitor stands and a 3/8” threaded hole for microphone stand mounting, making it adaptable to any workspace.

Injection-Moulded Cabinet

The D3V cabinet is built from high-quality ABS Polycarbonate, with thick, reinforced walls to reduce resonance and deliver focused sound. The rounded design prevents high-frequency diffraction, while showcasing ADAM Audio’s modern industrial aesthetic.
