ADAM Audio T7V 7-inch Powered Studio Monitor
ADAM Audio T7V 7-inch Powered Studio Monitor Reviews
As a member of the T Series, ADAM Audio’s line of professional 2-way active studio monitors, the T7V features a 7-inch polypropylene low-frequency driver that delivers bass extension down to an impressive 39Hz, while the company's U-ART accelerated-ribbon tweeter provides pristine highs extended up to 25kHz – quite remarkable for a monitor in this price range. The tweeter's broad, uniform dispersion pattern is assisted by a precision waveguide modeled on the High Frequency Propagation (HPS) waveguide used in ADAM’s premium S Series studio monitors, which provides an impressively wide sweet spot that liberates you from being constrained to a rigid listening position.
T7V
Excellent monitors
Great for home
Perfect speakers to have at home for listening to music with great audio quality. I dont produce music, so I cant speak on the Yamaha vs Adams audio debate for mixing, nor do I care. Theyre just amazing speakers to hear the mids/lows crystal clear in songs you like, without paying insane prices for high quality speakers. The 7 inch speakers are powerful enough for an entire living room
my opinion
I like the Adam Audio , when I play my song on my mixer , I can the detail in the song.
Great monitors, fantastic quality at this price point.
Believe the hype… the T7V is a fantastic monitor, even when compared to monitors that are almost twice the price. Tight and robust low end, crystal clear highs with fantastic detail. Add the IK Multimedia ARC hardware and you'll have a monitoring solution that rivals monitors that are 4X the price.
A real game changer
I purchased these to replace my Bowers & Wilkins 706 S3 bookshelf speakers that I powered with a vintage tube amp because I wanted to conserve some space by removing the amp. I thought I had a pretty good setup for monitoring mixes and listening to audio in general. I was a little reluctant to buy such an inexpensive speaker, I was originally leaning towards the A7v. From experience I have learned this is one of those areas you pretty much get what you pay for. After reading the reviews on these I figured I would give them a try, I could always return them if I wasn't satisfied with them. I received them in excellent condition in only a couple days, thanks Sweetwater for such good shipping service. After unboxing them and setting them up I powered them on and first tried some music I had recently mixed. I was really surprised at the overall sound quality, it was actually better then my $ B&W speakers, much better in fact. There was much more clarity in the mid and high range and the stereo separation was more pronounced. The entire mix was more articulate and lively. The only downside is the bass is not as crisp as I would like, but it's not boomy or obnoxious, just not as tight as I would like. Overall these speakers performed above and beyond my expectations, if you are looking for a decent set of studio monitors that won't break the bank, I would highly recommend these.
Read MoreSound fantastic
I'm really happy with these monitors. I record my bands in my home studio and they have made it so much easier.
Mixing has become a pleasure, all the tracks are super clear like the band is in my living room. I'm somewhat new to recording at home but my sweetwater rep Logan Ashman came through again with this recommendation (he's the best!)
The price was really good, I got the package and couldn't be happier.
Excellent Budget Monitors
After some hours of breaking in with various styles of music, these Adam Audio monitors sound great. They seem to have a decently flat response with some powerful lows and crisp high end. For reference, I'm an amateur audio engineer, but have been doing this for groups I have played with and some other friends' bands for ~25 years. These have been great so far for what I need and I've been very satisfied. That said, the *only* complaint I have about these is the unfortunate location of the power status LED being on the back. That is the only reason I had to drop it down a star.
Great affordable, high quality powered studio monitors
Amazing and very Honest pair of studio monitors
Don't have much reference but these paired with the Adam studio sub-woofer make for a completely solid setup, Great choice for mixing and producing although they can get very plain, they are perfect for home studios, Very Reccomended.
great for the money
These are nice sounding speakers. Very low noise, I've left them on for days and never realized because they were so quiet. That brings up my only complaint. The power light is located on the back of the speakers, so you can't see it. That seems dumb to me. I used to have a pair of A7X's. The T7V's are not in that league, not as clear sounding in the top end or as well defined in the lows, but for the money, I'm happy with them.
Great monitors ….
I usually dont write reviews,however in this case.
I figured my opinion could help someone on the fence about these monitors make a decision!
I purchased these on a recommendation from my sales engineer Jared Atwood. He definitely steered me the right way. These monitors are very pleasing
And balanced. Plenty of lows and in my opinion a very neutral midrange. Very detailed and really good separation of frequencies!
Also the highs are not piercing in any way ,very comfortable to listen to for long periods of time. I firmly believe these are top notch for their price tag. Thanx Jared and Sweetwater
Superb sound quality, affordable.
These monitors put the sound where you sit, not everywhere else. My family members have appreciated that the highs and mid ranges that seemed to carry thru every room of the house are gone. I can hear everything clearly and can keep the volume levels lower overall.
Audio reproduction is better then anything I have previously used and I really have nothing to compare these to in all honestly. The mid and treble pots on my bass have a use now. No complaints.
Killer Monitors
Thees monitors are really great. I feel like they hit way above Thier price point. As always the service I get from my main man Nick Graham up there at Sweetwater is top notch. I cannot recommend these enough.
Great balance and clarity
Very good representation of entire spectrum of sound. Great for acoustic piano!
Great sound, especially at this price-point!
Beautiful looking and sounding speakers. Very happy with product and suggestion by Sale's Engineer (Steve Miller).
fantastic sound at a low price and as usual excellent service
Adam Audio
Great Merchandise
Dan O’Brien
In my 50+ years of recording I've had pretty much every brand of studio monitors there are. These are without a doubt the best "bang for the buck" ones available! Frequency response is very impressive and they don't color the sound at all! I burned them in with everything from studio to live recordings and heard details in mixes that were stunning! If you're in the market for affordable studio monitors that sound like they cost much more than get ahold of your Sweetwater rep today ( Shoutout to Dustin!)
You won't regret it…
Stellar!
Super clear. Amazing low end!
It’s the best !!!
For the price you pay it's the best speakers you can get, the sound is really clear and strong. Sweetwater, the best place to buy my music tools.
Sounds great!
First monitors and they sound incredible compared to mid range stereo speakers
Lasted 1 year and 2 months
One of the speakers decided to go dead after about 1 year and 2 months.
4 Year User
I've been using these for 4 years now, and they're still kicking great! Sound quality is amazing, way better than anything I've used in the same price range.
On the third year one of them started cutting out around 75% in volume on occasion, not sure what does that but if I jiggle the volume knob it comes back to full volume immediately. Happens maybe once every other month, and I don't get too bothered by it.
Overall I highly recommend these beasts.
The King of the Jungle
Get these! You will LOVE them! There's a reason they have 5 stars.
Excellent Studio Monitors
I have been using a pair of Kali LP-6's as my main monitor setup for the last couple years and they've been really good, especially at their price point, but when I got the Adam Audio T7V's hooked up and was able to A/B them side by side, it's a world of difference. These are so crisp and clear and I never thought the Kali's sounded muffled until I heard them beside these. I still use the Kali's as reference monitors, but the T7V's will stay my main setup for a long time. I was looking into either getting these or a pair of Focals, and although I have not been able to compare these side by side with a focal set, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and glad I went with Adam Audio.
No listening Fatigue
I'm speechless. These are ridiculously neutral sounding, to the point where if there's even the slightest thing off, you can hear it, And that's not even the main reason I'm writing this review. I've been listening to music on these for over 8 hours and have experienced no listening fatigue whatsoever. I was skeptical on this point reading the other reviews, but it's no joke. if you need a pair of workhorse speakers at this price range, don't get anything else. I don't want to mix on anything else now. I'm going to try and get my work (broadcast facility) to get me a pair of these, so I don't get listening fatigue at work either lol.
Perfect for the home studio
I am loving these monitors! I looked at Yamaha, Focal and KRK, and ultimately chose these (and, as always, purchased from the great folks at Sweetwater!). I have an older and smaller set of Mackies which have served me well and it was time to upgrade - and what an upgrade it is! While the T7Vs sounded great right out of the box, once I burned these in I was really able to hear the separation I was hoping for and the balance between highs, mids, and lows. They exhibit such a clean sound and my ears do not get fatigued in longer sessions. Highly recommended!
Adam audio TV 7
I got these speakers last year and I've had no problems out of them they work very qell.
I love them!!
I can't say enough on how much I love these monitors. They sonically accurate and the detail in the stereo imagery is unbelievable.
Fantastic Monitors
Fantastic craftsmanship, fantastic sound quality, and imaging. You will not find anything that provides this level of quality in this price range. You won't regret it trust me.
AFTER ONE YEAR REVIEW .
been using these Monitors one year and counting, it's worth the money built-in quality is amazing, I recommend all of you who are looking for Classic monitors at this price, we do a lot of mixing and voice-overs post productions since we upgraded to these adam audio T7V we can tell the difference from monitoring to mixing or even listening sessions .
Sweet Water Customer service is an amazing shout-out to my sales engineer Toney Greer, I recommend him anytime.
Great monitors, even better price point
I bought a pair of these monitors to use with an AxeFX III for my home studio, and am completely satisfied with them. I spent several months researching various FR/FR options, and it came down to these and the Presonus Scepters. I took a flier on the lower price point T7V figuring that if I was anything less than thoroughly impressed with them, I'd simply send them back and get the Presonus units. Long story short, these aren't leaving me, ever. I picked up a pair of Ultimate Support MS-90/36 monitor stands, and they support the monitors beautifully and make them sound even better.
The Best
Benn an engineer and Mastering engineer for 30 plus years. The best entry level monitors on the market. I wok with a plethora of high end monitors, but out of the box sound is amazing. Pair it with a Black Lion Interface and close your eyes. I guarantee the most top notch monitors at this price by far. Thank you Alex and Dennis for all your help for the last 8 years.
Awesome Speakers
These speakers are amazing! I have a very small studio and the sound is extremely complimentary to the space... Beautiful clear highs without being harsh... just the right midrange and bass output. I would have given them 5 stars but... it would have been nice to have and "on" light indicator on the front... but I just plugged them into a power strip and use that to turn them on and off.
Great product
The overall sound is balanced and you can hear everything when your mixing down a song, beat or whatever your mixing. I recommend these speakers for any producer. These are A1 at its finest.
What an upgrade!!!!
These are just awesome!! I wanted to get some decent monitors and my rep Jack at Sweetwater suggested these. Couldn't be happier with the choice.
This is a steal
I bought these monitors earlier this week. I have been searching for good, decently priced studio monitors for sometime, and I came across these. MAN, they are well worth the money. I am hearing things with these I have never heard before by just listening to a mix/song. 100% recommend.
Worth every penny
I was using JBL 2308s for over ten years in treated and untreated rooms. No matter what I did nothing would translate. I always felt like I had cotton in my ears. I got to the point where I was tempted to mix solely on headphones. Before I full made the move I ordered these and wow they are amazing. When setup properly and in a treated room they are stellar.
Excellent lows, not overly hyped highs, crisp transients, and a great stereo image. These are an unbelievable steal for the money.
They sound fabulous.
The ADAM Audio T7V monitors (pair) sound marvelous &, when no music is playing through them, they are silent.
I would characterize the pair as having a neutral sound—not emphasizing bass, midrange or treble frequencies.
Not fatiguing to listen to. These were a great (& surprisingly so) upgrade.
My Sales Engineer, Nitish Kulkarni, Rocks!
Woah
A lot of people will tell you to go for the Yamahas. I decided to go to the Adam audio. And I'm forever grateful I chose these. The sound is so natural and my mixing has been amazing. All my work translates so well. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend best bang for your buck. I want to eventually get the ax series. But this has more than what you need for any home studio out there.
great monitors for the price
The highs and mids are clear, the low mids and lows are okay. It's hard to grade the lows because of differing listening environments, but my experience on the T7Vs is pretty good. My only issues are the noisy amps and the variable attenuation knobs - I wish they had a notch at 0.
Best Monitors at Price Point
Unbelievable Quality
Can't believe the performance for the price. Absolutely incredible speakers. These weren't even a budget purchase. I was looking at buying something in a much higher price range but ended getting these after hearing them at a friend's studio.
Incredible Bang For Your Buck
These studio monitors are absolutely amazing!! There's so much detail and separation. Listening to music is a different ball game with these. The response is flat and crystal clear. Deep bass response too. These monitors are truly amazing for the price and can handle anything. They are wizards at ADAM audio. As always, Sweetwater is the best with their customer service and support. Thanks to my guy Jake for recommending these to me!
Wonderful Monitors
I definitely recommend these monitors especially in a smaller space. Their sound is highly accurate. I don't need the subwoofer that can be paired to this because it has plenty of low-end. These monitors makes mixing so much easier.
Practically invisible.
After returning other monitors that failed, the Adam T7-7's were recommended. I plugged them in and set everything to flat response. Since then I have not had to change a thing. Every sound is accurate and tight. Now I can focus on recording and mixing without fussing with my monitors. Faithful and responsive. Yet, practically invisible.
Love the Adams
I love these monitors. They sound amazing!
Best studio monitors for the money!
I did a great amount of research for entry level studio monitors and ended up with the Adam Audio TV7's. The quality and sound accuracy are amazing for the price. Yes, you can spend a little less on some other brands, but these are pro level quality wrapped in an unbelievable price. I don't know how Adam Audio created such a gem at this price point.
If you are looking for a great studio monitors, you have to check these out! You will not be disappointed.
Loving Them So Far!
I've had these monitors for a little over a week and I'm really pleased so far. The response is fairly even and the sound is pretty accurate. I've used these and other ADAM monitors in studios before and I'm happy I went with a pair of T7Vs for my home set-up.
Love them
I personally think they are cleaner than the hs8 yamaha's ive mixed on for years!
Invisible Speakers
Had some HS 5s, they were OK, until I read that other people were having ear fatigue and their mixes not translating well to other set-ups, and then the light bulb went off. Didn't want to spend a lot, just get good monitors. I mix for fun, and tracks for the band which just weren't sounding as good through the sound system as they should have. Mostly R&B style tunes.
Well these monitors get rid of the ear fatigue, they're not as cued up in the midrange, plenty of low end but CLARITY. I can hear parts with more separation now I usually have lots of tracks with strings, synths, several guitars, percussion etc. So I can see why my mixes before were dull, I EQ'ed out the stuff I needed!
Get these!
Nice monitors
Most powered monitor reviews are very positive, and without having tested many of them I can't claim that the ADAM T7Vs are better than others available. That said, I'm very happy with them - they are easy to mix with at moderate volume and pleasant to listen to. They capture subtlety much better than my old monitors (no longer on market) did. They picked up interference when I first set them up (evidently due to a power and/or signal chain issue; I didn't have a similar problem with my old monitors), but with help from my sales engineer (Dave Dunsire), Sweetwater's Technical Support team and ADAM's support team we were able to troubleshoot the problem by using an isolating transformer.
Amazing Sound for Detail Mixing
I really love the sound of these studio monitors. I placed them equally apart on my desk where my ear level is right between the tweeter and main speaker and they sound amazing. I am hearing details in songs that I never heard before. There is just the right amount of bass (not too heavy nor too thin) and the treble is very good. I use them for mixing and for listening to music in general. I am very happy with them would recommend them, you will not be disappointed.
Great speakers!
The highs are a lot calm and clear. I have the high end turned up by +2 dB. Low end is punchy and can bump if you use the +2 dB bass booster, but I think they sound the cleanest at -2 dB. Some of this depends on room acoustics but those are my impressions after owning them for a couple of weeks.
I'm very happy with these speakers and would recommend them to anyone looking for speakers at this price range.
Great value and solid performance
I've only had the TV7's for a week so I'm still learning them (did the 24 burn in). So far I have agree with the great reviews I've seen (Sweetwater and You Tube). I have not tested how well they translate and I'm still tweaking my set up. My previous monitors where the Yamaha HS5s with a Presonus Temblor. Using these around 60 hz crossover with the TV7s and they Steve sounding really clear and un-hyped. Same little irritations as other reviewers- light is on back and no hard set point on gain knob. Great choice For high end features with a low price point!
Top quality without the top price
ADAM did a great job in producing a trustworthy monitor at a very attractive price.
Clean sounding nearfield monitors.Tthe T7Vs impressed me with their detailed, incisive treble and generous bass.
I found the T7Vs very comfortable to work with.
these are amazing
I am so excited about how awesome these sound. It is really blowing me away, and I am sure my mixes are going to be upleveled by this ability to really hear what is going on!
Worth It
Had these a while now. I was able to leave all adjustments in a neutral position. Good clear sound. The tweeter is not obnoxious. Pleased that the base is clear and also powerful. I was a little worried about the base being too weak. Not a problem. I do wish the power switches were on the front. I solved this with a dedicated power supply that takes two plugs and mounted it in a place I can easily turn on and off while sitting at my work station. They look good, sound good and I would purchase again. They are powered by an Audient iD14 and I use them in conjunction with Audio-Technica ATH-R70x.
Love these
I bought these a few months ago and have loved every minute with them. The high frequencies are crystal clear, with some pretty solid sounding low end as well. Highly recommend.
Amazing
I have been using the Adam Audio T7v's for about 6 months now and I am blown away by the quality sound that comes out of them. I am using them with the Focusrite Clarett 8prex. I am very happy with the whole setup. I just pulled the trigger and added a pair of the T5v's and the Sub 8. I can't wait to see how the whole setup sounds! Thank you Sweetwater!
What a great add to the Adams monitor line!
Perfect for Recording & Mixing
Total Surprise
I ordered these to be my secondary monitors as I have the Focal Alpha 80"s
During the break end period. I thought I made a huge mistake. Had the volume set at zero and the lows and highs neutral.
Decided to crank the volume all the way up on the monitors and take another listen. It"s like they all of a sudden came to life. So I turned my audio interface down to listen at my usual level. And they just flat out sound awesome.
Now I have to remix all my songs. Ugh! But it"s gonna be worth it.
Incredible
Deep bass, nice crisp highs...really nice controls and placement instructions for getting that sweet spot. Beautiful sounding monitors. For the price you can"t beat them. They"re surprisingly light weight. Probably due to the plastic housing (vs fiberboard). The tone is so nice. Perfect for a small studio setup. I noticed a bit of distortion in the tweeters, so I adjusted the high frequency dB by -2 and they sound even better in my space.
totally awesome
i just upgraded and i got to be honest; these are definitely the real deal, no more to say... bye
Fantastic sounding monitors
Traded up to these from a set of good bookshelf speakers and they are seriously impressive. I prefer them to the popular JBL competition, and they sound very similar to their more expensive A7X brethren as well. Superb imaging and clarity, with great balance across the spectrum. They even dig fairly deep, although a subwoofer is still a necessity for true full range performance. In the price point and market segment, these are the easy winners.
Accuracy Clarity Value
Amazing...WOW
These monitors are incredibly well rounded. They have this amazing shine/shimmer to them that really allows you to hear things in your mixes and music that you never knew were there. I even hooked my turntable up to my system to allow it to be run through these bad boys and it sounds so beautiful and warm, without any sacrifice of clarity. My only complaint, these really should be paired with a sub. Most monitors require one anyway, and these are in such a reasonable price point that getting a sub is even more affordable. I did not lower my review because of that reason. Shout out to my sales rep Chris for guiding me in such a great direction!
Very Pleasant Surprise.
The BEST at this price point
Upgrade from JBL 305s which were great for me. The T7Vs are just much less colored and much more accurate. Great deal zero complaints
Clean Sound....!
After listening to many options I decided on Adam Audio
T7v-"7". Clean rich sound with defined midrange and nice bass tone.......!
Best in class
I chose these monitors over JBL, Yamaha and other similar offerings after watching many reviews on YouTube. I was not disappointed. They are perfect for my living-room studio.
Wow...
Coming from the Yamaha HS8 these blew away my expectations. The imaging and separation of instruments was immediately apparent in these. On top of that everything is crisp, clean, and upfront. If you are on the fence please go for these. You won"t have any regret.
Worth every penny!
I bought these on a whim based on the reviews. I was hoping I might notice a small improvement in my monitoring setup.
I can't think of any way to describe them other than stunning! I'm in the process of doing mix revisions on an album and finding things I would have never even noticed on my other monitors. The clarity is shocking!
If you're on the fence, you can't go wrong with a set of these!
Honest Adams
Stellar monitors for the price, gets 5 stars on sound but 4.5 on functionality - would love the power indicator light on the front, TRS inputs, and the power switch on the front like the A7x"s would be swell. Really blown away by the detail and huge sweetspot - say goodbye to ear fatigue! Flagship of the budget range, and they are built tough! Thanks for your honesty, Adams.
Two of those magical "Moments" from one purchase
Great Budget Monitors
I was impress with the details of this new monitors, great highs and midrange, signature Adam sound, great for the budget producer, I only had mine for a few weeks now but compared to other budget monitors within the sane price range, this monitors beats them all.
Clarity
These monitors are great. Sweet spot is awesome and strereo imaging is a lot more defined than monitors I"ve had before. Not the most technical review but, I love the sound.
