The company initially made its mark with the ART ribbon tweeter, its refinement of the Air Motion Transformer (AMT) designed in the 1960s by Oskar Heil. Instead of producing sound by means of a vibrating diaphragm, the ART (and ADAM Audio’s subsequent generations of the concept, X-ART and S-ART) employs a pleated diaphragm capable of moving the air four times faster than its own folds – hence the ART name (Accelerating Ribbon Technology). But the innovation doesn’t stop with the tweeter. ADAM Audio continues to change the game of professional monitoring, with their ranges of respected monitors and subwoofers being the recipients of rave reviews and appreciation from audio experts and recording engineers worldwide.
