The A-Series Monitor A7V is the successor to ADAM Audio's award-winning bestseller A7X. The A7V 2-way speaker is equipped with a newly developed 7-inch woofer - made from a multi-layer mineral fibre material (MLM) - and ADAM Audio's handcrafted X-ART tweeter. The A7V achieves a frequency range of 41 Hz to 42 kHz, a rotatable HPS waveguide and the integrated DSP technology allow optimal customisation to individual room conditions and personal sound preferences. For many artists, mixers and producers, the A7V will be the preferred speaker within the new A-Series.

The KH 310 is designed for use as a nearfield monitor and as a front speaker in medium-sized or rear speakers in large multi-channel systems. It is ideally suited for use in project, music and post-production studios, broadcast control centres and OB vans for multitrack recording, mixing and mastering. The active 3-way studio monitor KH 310 is characterised by a Mathematically Modeled DispersionT Waveguide (MMDT), universal acoustic controls, multiple input options and a wide range of mounting hardware. The speaker offers maximum flexibility in dealing with a wide range of acoustic conditions, source devices and installation locations. The KH 310 represents the state of the art in acoustic and electronic simulation and measurement technologies and guarantees maximum sonic precision.

The new IN-8 2nd Wave has an updated amplifier module and enables 12 dB less self-noise with a 3dB higher output. The tuning has been refined for even smoother high-frequency behaviour and the boundary EQs have been updated to enable practical settings. A new feature here is the preset for horizontal speaker positioning. Further updates include lighter transducer cones for faster transient response and an improved cabinet design for less natural resonance.As a further development of the successful LP-8, the IN-8 2nd Wave features its sophisticated bass reflex system and the same level-resistant woofer. However, instead of the usual tweeter with 3D imaging waveguides, a coaxial midrange/tweeter combination has been installed here. The profile-optimised 4″ midrange driver also functions as a waveguide. By limiting the peak excursion to 1 mm, intermodulation distortion, which otherwise occurs in coaxial systems, could be avoided. The midrange driver also relieves the woofer and tweeter, so the IN-8 2nd Wave plays more harmoniously and with less distortion than conventional 2-way studio monitors.The crossover frequency of the woofer is 280 Hz, making the IN-8 2nd Wave an acoustic point source. Phase cancellations on the vertical axis will be sought in vain here. Instead, the IN-8 2nd Wave has an even dispersion behaviour over the entire frequency response with excellent depth graduation and localisation. The stereo image also benefits from the coaxial arrangement and enables a detailed mix. Thanks to the "Boundary EQ" familiar from the LP series, the IN-8 2nd Wave can be adapted to different studio environments just as easily as its sister models.

Focal is expanding its Alpha series with the newly launched Alpha Evo. New features, new technologies, new design: the Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo studio monitors offer high performance at an unrivalled price in their market segment, making them the professional tools of choice for more people than ever before. With these new products, the French manufacturer is once again demonstrating its sound expertise and asserting its position as world market leader.PERFORMANCE & VERSATILITY:The Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo models are specially designed for music production and general music reproduction and ensure outstanding acoustic coherence regardless of the listening location. To further improve reproduction performance, Focal has opted for an aluminium tweeter with an inverted dome for wide sound dispersion and a carbon fibre cone. The recycled carbon fibre cone is manufactured exclusively by the French brand in Saint-Étienne and was chosen for its neutrality and dynamics. Focal is constantly revising its product range, drawing on over 40 years of expertise in the field of acoustics and its innovative strength. This is also underlined by the new large laminar port, which minimises distortion.NEW FEATURES:Evo stands for evolution. In addition to the analogue XLR and RCA sockets, the Alpha Evo monitors have a new TRS jack input (6.35 mm), an automatic standby mode that can be deactivated and inserts for wall and ceiling mounting: a truly versatile range (mixing, mastering, DJ, broadcasting). In terms of amplification, the speakers each have two Class D amplifiers. Their high current capacity gives you maximum control over the signal dynamics. In addition, high volumes can be achieved without distortion. Each speaker reproduces even the smallest details in the mix across all styles of music.DESIGN AND CABINET CONSTRUCTION:The monitors have a 15 mm thick MDF enclosure with internal bracing for maximum stability even at high sound pressure levels. The bass reflex design was chosen for easy acoustic integration even in the tightest of spaces. In terms of aesthetics, the classic cube shape of the monitor gives way to a design with rounded corners. The side panels ensure a sophisticated, robust and modern design that contributes to excellent acoustics and a unique and harmonious character across the entire range.
