ADAM Audio T5V Studio Monitor for recording, mixing and mastering, Studio Quality Sound (Single)

The T5V delivers impressively accurate sound for the price. Bass is tight without being hyped, mids are clear and balanced, and the U-ART ribbon tweeter adds crisp high-end detail without fatigue - great for long sessions. Stereo imaging is pinpoint, and it exposes mix flaws with zero mercy (which is the point). Build quality is excellent. The cabinet feels dense and non-resonant, with no cheap plastic vibes. Rear panel includes balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, plus high/low EQ trim controls - useful for room correction if you're not working in a treated space. Despite the 5” woofer, the low-end extension is surprisingly good for a monitor this size, especially in smaller rooms. There’s a rear port, so give it some breathing room from the wall if you want honest bass response. If you're producing, mixing, or just want to stop lying to yourself about how your tracks really sound - these do the job well.

If you’re producing, mixing, or simply chasing a more honest window into your music, the T5Vs are exactly where you want to be. I picked up a pair to replace my old Pioneer DM-40s, and honestly, my mixes have never breathed this freely. The build quality is superb: clean, modern lines and those golden tweeters that catch the light just right. They’re solid, too. No rattles when you give them a shake (don’t ask why I shook them, lol). The switches and rear volume knob feel firm and deliberate, not the flimsy kind you’re scared to touch. Straight out of the box, setup couldn’t be simpler. Plug in the power, choose your input: RCA or XLR, and off you go. No Bluetooth, but if you’re buying studio monitors, you’re probably not looking for that anyway. You also get room-adjustment controls on the back, which isn’t always standard at this price point. Plenty of budget monitors skip that entirely, so it’s a welcome touch for anyone who wants to dial in their space. That said, in my tiny, untreated room, I didn’t need to tweak a thing. The moment they woke up, the sound was clear, confident, and beautifully honest. Even at low volumes, there’s no muddiness, no haze, just the pure truth of the mix laid bare. All volume controls being on the back is a bit inconvenient, and they do run larger than some other 5" models, so make sure your desk is ready for the upgrade. But beyond that, these monitors feel like a cheat code. Quality on a budget, performance far above their class. If you want accuracy, depth, and clarity without emptying your wallet, these are an easy recommendation.

I needed a couple of decent near field monitors for working away from home and on the road. I wasn't expecting the T5Vs to be as big and bulky as they are but this isn't a complaint. For the price I was expecting something much smaller. I played back some radio drama that I'd mixed and it sounded very boring and natural. Then I played some music that I'd produced and it sounded big and bold and boomy but perfectly balanced with detailed high end and a flat response across the mids.. Then I played some CDs and heard minor details on old albums that I hadn't noticed before. Previous speakers included more expensive Genelec and Mackie studio monitors but I would say these Adams Audio speakers are comfortably as good as my other monitors but for less than half the price. If the price stays thisnlow I may buy more and a .1 to use them for watching films in surround.

Clean, clear and crisp with depth and width of sound very impressed no hesitation in recommending them

I’ve had these for around 3–4 years now and they’ve been great fun to use. They’re not the best choice for mixing as the frequency response isn’t very flat, but they still produce really good, high-quality sound. I’ve recently noticed a slight buzz when they’re turned on, however they still work fine and remain perfectly useable. I mix with my Neumann NDH 30.

I recommend these speakers.Excellent at LOW volumes and DBs..no need to crank.Because of their size(BIG)..you get a richer “louder” sound at less actual DBs in room compared to small Yamahas HS3 I used before.Good for apartment.Warning ,NO headphone directly from speaker.I can’t give an opinion on loud volume as I can’t do this sadly where I live

I am an ADAM FAN. My monitors are ADAM AX7s A colleague (signed to SONY) wanted to test their drum and bass mixes and do I got the sub-woofer. Boy oh boy.. do they shake the room, the 2 rooms below, 3 plum trees in the garden and next doors garage. They are great!

GREAT VASLUE
