D3V Active Desktop Monitoring System with USB-C Connection (Pair), Black

Is incredible how this monitors sound…I heard others Adam’s studio monitors and this ones really surprised me by his size and quality even the bass is more defined that the KRK Rokit series and HS Yamaha series…This are not mixing monitors, for production are perfect. I was closer to buy the iLoud’s but this one’s sounds very similar or equal, cannot say better cuz is question of taste but I like this more.

Good

The options for truly high-quality bookshelf speakers in this size are quite limited. For me, it really came down to two models: the ADAM Audio D3V and the Genelec 8010A Studio Monitor. Given the significant price difference and my budget, I didn’t have much of a choice — but that actually turned out to be a good thing. These relatively small, but heavy speakers perform exceptionally well in my setup. The inclusion of balanced connections and USB-C makes them ideal for anyone seeking high-quality input — whether working with or without an external audio interface — or needing a portable option. As a video editor, I can say the neutrality and honesty of this pair are phenomenal. I ran several audio tests and compared the results across TV sets and other playback systems — and I’m genuinely impressed. You can absolutely trust these speakers to reproduce exactly what you feed them, which is what matters most. The clarity, punch, bass, and output volume are far beyond what their size suggests. I can’t recommend them enough — not just for their great value, but for their professional-grade quality. If you’re short on space, like me, and need a true-to-source studio monitor, this should be your first choice.

Really good monitors - considering price and size, these are amazingly good.

Been lusting after these for a while, was skeptical about the size but after watching some reviews I decided to pick them up. First impressions, packaged very compactly, comes with all the cables required bar the audio ones (and they are plenty long enough for different types of desks). The speakers feel dense and premium, and the room adjustment on the back is very useful for all different setups. Setup was very simple, there are rubber feet along with stands to tilt the tweeters to ear level. The sound: I was absolutely blown away the first time I put something on, the clarity, the bass response all exceeded my expectations. These are an absolute upgrade from my Presonus 3.5 I was using previously. Now since these are made primarily for production, they have a flat frequency response, but general listening is fantastic, no rumbling, no harsh frequencies. And I’m sure once they’re properly broken in, they’ll sound even better! Cons: The standby mode that comes on when there’s no sound is a tad annoying but I’ll get used to it The stands are fiddly, if you move the monitors with them on they’ll most likely fall off. Overall though they are 10/10, the price, the functionality and the sound are excellent.

2.5 - 3 stars: I was excited to try these out as have always been intrigued by Adam's ribbon tweeter tech, the first set of these I ordered was missing parts including the power adapter and linking cable so couldn't try them out, customer service quickly sent me a replacement set so this isn't why I'm marking these down. I produce mainly electronic music and have a large set of 8" Mackie's as my main monitors which are reasonably expensive, as well as a second set of JBL LSR305 MK2'S which I use for referencing between the two monitors. I thought these DV3's could be a nice alternative and save some space in place of my JBL's but there are some real issues with using these monitors. I will say they are built lovely, good weight, nice feel to the switches and knob, but the problems come when listening. It's as though they've been tuned to filter out all high frequencies, leaving a pretty boxy sounding mid. Vocals are hard to make out as they lack any air and snares don't hit or cut through the mix. I'm struggling to understand who might actually use these in a production capacity or even general listening other than to A/B against a different set of speakers (though there are better options for far less money). Not wanting to sound hyperbole, but the third generation Amazon echo in my kitchen has an audibly fuller frequency response. The bottom end is fine, though doesn't sound as extended as the claimed 45hz, but perhaps to be expected with such small drivers. I've tested with both digital and analogue inputs. I have applied the firmware update which if it makes any difference was negligible to my ears. If you're producing music and have this sort of money (and perhaps a little more space) then I'd recommend a pair of JBL LSR305's as they're a much more serious proposition for making music and some of the best at this money. Sorry Adam, maybe one day I'll get to try the high end monitors in their range, but I can't recommend these ones. Will be returning.

I needed a decent pc speakers to go with a laptop. Being "audiophile" ended up spending more than needed to be, but it is fair to say that they exceeded my expectations by a mile. Are they perfect? No, but considering the pricepoint, they almost may well be. They give you a trully fantastic detail in music for the price, without being harsh that the aluminium domes usually offer as a trade off. It is my first experience with ribbon tweeters and I wish I had a chance to "discover" them years back. If you are after good sound like myself, you will not be dissapointed!
