ADAM AUDIO D3V WH - Professional Active Monitors (White Version)

The ADAM Audio D3V WH is a compact, fully active desktop monitor system designed for music producers, songwriters, and audio enthusiasts who seek top-quality sound in a stylish and practical design. Available in a sleek white finish, these monitors effortlessly integrate into any studio or workspace while delivering the high-fidelity sound that ADAM Audio is known for.

The D3V combines ADAM Audio's cutting-edge technology with an affordable price point and user-friendly operation. Equipped with the iconic golden ribbon tweeter, the monitors deliver precise, crystal-clear highs with minimal distortion and excellent dynamics – a signature feature of ADAM Audio’s professional studio monitors.

Accurate Sound with D-ART Technology

Drawing on over 25 years of experience working with ribbon tweeter technology, ADAM Audio has developed the compact 1.5-inch D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter). This tweeter provides exceptional precision in high-frequency reproduction, delivering a natural and fatigue-free listening experience, even during long sessions. The same tweeter used in ADAM Audio’s high-end monitoring systems ensures consistent sound quality in this compact, white desktop format.

Modern Connectivity – USB-C and Analog Inputs

The D3V WH features modern connectivity options, including a USB-C input, which allows the monitors to function as a direct digital output device when connected to a computer. This eliminates the need for an additional audio interface for playback. The plug-and-play feature also extends to mobile devices, enabling high-quality playback without the compression or conversion that typically occurs with such connections. For traditional analog use, the D3V WH is equipped with balanced ¼” TRS inputs.

Performance and Acoustic Customization

The D3V WH not only delivers top-tier sound quality but also provides users with the tools to adapt to various room acoustics. The rear panel of the left speaker features switches that allow users to adjust the sound for common acoustic challenges associated with speaker placement. The front panel includes a headphone jack and a volume control knob, which also functions as an input selector, mute switch, and more. The D3V WH comes with detachable stands that angle the monitors at a 15° tilt towards the listener’s ears for optimal sound delivery. Additionally, the bottom of each monitor includes a 3/8” thread for mounting on microphone stands.
