## Overview

The ADAM Audio D3V is a premium active desktop monitoring system featuring 80W amplifiers, 3.5” aluminum woofers with dual passive radiators extending bass to 45Hz, and a 1.5” D-ART ribbon tweeter for precise high frequencies. Designed for producers and audiophiles, it offers USB-C digital input for plug-and-play use with computers and mobile devices, balanced ¼” inputs, DSP acoustic tuning switches, and ergonomic angled stands with mic-stand mounting options. This compact, stylish system delivers professional sound quality directly to your workspace.

## Description

The D3V is a fully active desktop monitoring system designed for songwriters, producers, and music lovers who want to enjoy ADAM Audio sound quality as conveniently as possible. Available in white or black editions, the active monitors feature the iconic golden ribbon tweeter and stay true to ADAM Audio’s German industrial design heritage. Each active pair features 3.5” aluminum woofers and ferrite magnet system driven by 80 W amplifiers. The woofers are further complemented by dual-sided 3.5” passive radiators which allow the D3V to extend as low as 45 Hz. With 25 years’ experience working with ribbon tweeter technology, ADAM Audio has created a compact 1.5” D-ART (Desktop Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter) so D3V customers can enjoy the precise and unfatiguing high-frequency reproduction that their established monitoring systems are known for. The D3V features a USB-C input which means the monitoring system behaves as a digital output device when connected to a computer and negates the need for an additional audio interface for playback. This plug’n’play functionality extends to mobile devices so high-quality audio can be enjoyed without the compression or conversion normally associated with such connections. The D3V also features balanced ¼" TRS inputs for more traditional analogue audio applications. The backplate of the left speaker features a range of user-friendly switches to address the common acoustical issues arising from speaker placement, while the front panel includes a headphone socket and volume knob that doubles as a control for the audio input selection, muting and other functions. The D3V comes complete with detachable monitor stands that are angled at 15° toward the users’ ears. Additionally, there is a standard threaded 3/8” hole for microphone stand mounting on the underside of both monitors.

Review: Amazing for the money when they aren't held back - Excellent for the money. Deep powerful bass - clean, detailed highs that don't fatigue - great imaging and wide staging for little desktop speakers. There is one catch, and that is if you're using the USB input, you will be hampering their performance. The USB input is very basic (only 16-bit), and with it I found issues with the tonality of the midrange - very dry and boxy sounding. Not very natural. I bought a cable adapter to feed them via analog into the two 1/4" TRS inputs from my motherboard's onboard, and same thing. So to get the best out of these, you need a high quality, external DAC. I paired them up with a Schiit Modi Multibit 2, and they opened WAY up in terms of detail, separation, depth and layering, macro dynamics, and now of course the midrange is full and natural. So these are VERY capable speakers, but be prepared to feed them with a good source if you want the best out of them, and don't use the USB input if you can help it.
Review: Best desktop speakers - Ultimate desktop speakers. I prefer their traditional dial volume control, usbc connection option and easy off/on buttons. They are well built and the sound quality is worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing for the money when they aren't held back

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING !!! (...glad I got them)
*by M***T on August 27, 2025*

Not that it really means anything, but I have a masters in communication, worked in television doing everything from producing to doing camera, lighting and audio and owned several large commercial audio systems through the years. I can't stand second-rate gear. I have always tried to buy and use the best, regardless of venue. Don't buy junk...cry once, never settle for second best, etc. All this being said, I teach production online and spend my days wearing headphones in front of a computer and I finally decided to get some "decent" (monitors) for my Mac. Initially I started off looking at Yamaha HS8's ended up considering Genelecs. Again, reality set in that I just needed some good monitor speakers for my computer. I wanted near fields and a set that I could sit in front of all day looking at students' video projects as well as listening to music. I started researching all sorts of monitors at just about every price range, from $125 a pair to $1500 for individual speakers. Awaking from the paralysis of analysis, reality finally set in telling myself all I was doing was getting speakers for the computer...not that I'm mastering anything that often. Looking at online YouTube reviews can be like a proud parent telling how "their" kid (or the speaker they purchased) was the "best". Objectivity is out the window... I also checked out reviewers who didn't seem to have a dog in the hunt, but just was evaluating a number of speakers. Between breaks from work, I looked at every review I could and I figured the sweet spot was somewhere between $350 and $700 for a good set. It finally came down to (I thought) to iLouds. Everyone kept saying how good they are, and I believe them. They're probably incredible and I'll probably eventually buy some. Decision time eventually came as I figured I should "fish or cut bait" and get past watching reviews, getting tired of wearing headphones all day and get something. I almost pulled the trigger on getting the iLouds, but initially I couldn't find them in black on Amazon (at the time they were only offering them in white) so I figured I would get them somewhere else. I then looked at a few more reviews and one reviewer was comparing these with the iLouds. I ended up purchasing these. A few things I like about the Adam Audio Units, is they'll take a USB C input for audio (any one of them on the back of the Mac) and doesn't require an interface (a box inline that connects to USB C and then allows you to connect to anything from 1/4" TRS to RCA's, etc. and has a "volume" control and a headphone jack, costing another $125-150 or so. The iLouds I was looking at were bluetooth (which is fine) but I had my share of problems getting a bluetooth dropping out or connecting them. I have (or gave away) all kinds of bluetooth speakers from Bose to Marshalls, to JVC, etc. and I was tired of having to turn them on, then ensure the link worked and then go back to the computer to make sure the bluetooth was enabled. I just wanted to turn them on and be done. The Adam Audio speakers out of the box are ready to go and come with everything you need (except possibly a usb c to usb c to go from the computer to the speakers). They connect directly with a USB C out of the back of the Mac, there's a volume control on the front of the speaker and a headphone jack. You just connect the USB C, and the power connector, then the "jumper" that goes from one speaker to the other and once you tell the computer the speakers are out there, you're done. What about the sound? Amazing! I have an eq on my Mac (eqMac) and they knock the socks off the Bose units from my Bose Home Speaker 500 to my S1 Pro. (For commercial audio I usually used QSC's and Mackie's, I have the S1 Pro as a small portable system, but that's another story.) These units will get fairly loud (enough your wife will tell you to turn them down) and have good base response...very good. The passive reflectors on the side do their job. There are switches on the back for some eq perspectives such as "untreated" room, desk, wall, etc. which probably help (but I couldn't see a whole lot of difference). So, if you're looking for some no excuse, decent, (incredible) monitors for your computer I don't think you can go wrong. These are really good speakers. Are there others just as good, probably, but no one is sending me speakers to try so I can review them. I just had to make a decision and I think this was a good one. Would I recommend them? Absolutely...which is why I'm writing this review. I don't think you can do better...I love them!
