Do you use the A4V at Synchron stage too and in 7.1 do you also use the A4V for the central speaker too ?

Tha A4V are great as monitors, but I think for such big studios like Control A and B the other Adam offereings make more sense. I'm not a pro regarding what exact speaker to use, but the A4V work great for me in a close monitoring setup.

You can find lists of used speakers for Control A and B here:

Hello @Ben

I am going to trust your choice : 2 x A7V + 1 x A44

I bet that VSL did not use bad monitor !!!. *

Adam configurator propose for my Studio. the A7V

How do you define them Logic Pro ?

Thanks for your answer @johngildersleeve_16932

Hi Cyril!

At Synchron Stage we use Adam Audio monitors. Many of my colleagues, including myself, use Adam's at home as well.

I use the A4V, and since I don't have an aucustically well treated room in my current appartment I got Sound ID Reference as well, so I could easily measure the speakers in my room and upload a correction EQ directly to the monitors so they are always applied thanks to the integrated DSPs.

This works great and was super easy to set up, so I'm happy with my purchase.
Sound is also awesome, but they would sound even better in a well-treated room instead of my office 😊

At Synchron Stage Adams are being used in setups from stereo to 7.2.4 Atmos.
Recording sessions are being monitored through these, and you get the impression that you are standing in the room in front of the musicians. Also, we have an ATMOS certified studio (Control B) where music is being mixed and mastered.

Best, Ben

Sorry to hijack this post a bit, but reading this got me wondering - I remember also seeing Neumann monitors used in the control room A - How are those used in a production? B monitors?

If I'm not mistaken all speakers in Control A and B are currently from Adam Audio. We have two independent sets of speakers that can be switched between for stereo, surround, Auro3D and ATMOS monitoring.

Oh ok, then I guess the pictures on the website must be out of date. That's why I got curious, thanks for the answer!

Hi @Ben

I am receiving my 3x ADAM HP in an hours or two😀

When I bought my Denon 9.1 Amplifier it was delivered with a Microphone for the calibration, Do you know if I can I use it to calibrate my installation ?

Thanks

After you recieve the speakers register them on the Adam website. You then have access to a user-area with the A Control software and other goodies. I'm not sure if it's still available, but when I got mine there was also a code for a demo license of SoundID Reference available that allows to export measurements for Adam speakers.

SoundID Reference will auto-import mic calibration curves if you got a mic from them, but any other calibration mic will work, you can also manually enter the calibration curve.

If you don't want to use SoundID Reference you can manually calibrate the speakers by using the EQ functionality in A Control.

Hi @Ben

I would like to thank you for your recommandation of buying the Adam Monitors 😀

It has be a bit hectic with problems with Sonoma 14.4.1, buy-in more cables ....(you never have the right cable ......)

I did my first mix, I am very please, the sound is incredible compared to my old speakers. 😀

When I see the price of the others Adam's series over 2000 € I am wondering if the price is justified, have you been able to compare ?

Now I have and answer of : "what do you want for your birthday, for Xmas" ; getting little by little the 3 x more Adam's monitors to be in 5.1, after is 2 more to be in 7.1 😀 for 7.1.4 Atmos I have to win the Loto

Thanks again

Cyril

Hi @Ben

Just go two more A7V so I will be able to go for Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 ; but it is a complex story as I cannot make holes in my celling

Thanks again for your advice.

Cyril
