The MP-1 Mastering Piece from ADAM Audio is a precise mastering tower
monitor that reveals every detail in your audio.
Designed for the
professional mastering engineer, the MP1 takes up little floor space,
but offers a high degree of accuracy.
The MP1 reveals what is actually present in an audio recording with a new degree of sonic precision. The MP1 offers every discerning mastering engineer the chance to hear what he does more accurately and in greater detail than ever before.
Offering an ultra-wide frequency response of 23Hz to 35kHz thanks to a 12" HexaCone woofer, two 7" ceramic woofers, an A.R.T. folded ribbon midrange driver, and an A.R.T. folded ribbon tweeter, every part of the frequency spectrum is full covered for clear, precise audio. Four internal amplifiers provide a total power of 950W RMS for strong, low-distortion performance.
The MP1 has a balanced XLR input, allowing you to connect to virtually any professional audio system. Controls are provided for adjusting EQ and input/HF gain so you can customize the performance of the monitor for your workspace. For precision mastering with a footprint less than a foot wide, look no further than the MP1.

ADAM studio monitors are state-of-the-art, no compromise speakers intended for audio engineers who are interested in the truest possible reproduction of their recordings. ADAM monitors have been constructed with one design objective only: to achieve the most realistic sound quality for each speaker in the line.
Groundbreaking innovation in electro-acoustic transducers, painstaking design and superior materials are the cornerstones of ADAM Technology. The authentic reproduction of recordings of acoustical events (a frequently discussed and subjective issue) is our yardstick in the unconditional search for the finest product possible.
To achieve this goal we combine years of our own musical and acoustic experience and with feedback from the critical 'golden ears' of our professional customers, and double-check the results with the most advanced measurement techniques in order to ensure the finest sound reproduction available at any price.
ADAM Audio produces a complete range of both passive and active monitoring systems to suit any given studio environment, from the smallest home/project studios to the most demanding professional environments and applications.
Accelerated Ribbon Technology :
The A.R.T. (Accelerated Ribbon Technology) tweeters and midrange units take a completely new approach in kinematics to move air and improve the quality of music reproduction. Based on the original works of Dr. Oskar Heil, who invented his "Air Motion Transformer" back in 1972, new electroacoustic transducers have been developed that are based on improved layouts and new materials. The membrane consists of a lamella like folded diaphragm whose single folds move according to the alternate current, thus squeezing air in and out. All other loudspeaker drive units, whether they are voice coil driven, electrostatics, piezos or magnetostatics, act like a piston, moving air in a 1:1 ratio. This is undesirable, as the specific weight of air is much lower than that of the driving mechanics. Speaking in terms of electrical Engineering one could say there is a bad match between source and load. The A.R.T. principle achieves a 4:1 velocity transformation between driving diaphragm and driven air, i. e. the air moves in and out four times faster than the folds itself are moving. This superior "motor" is responsible for the enormous clarity and transient reproduction that is to be heard from the A.R.T. drive units.
A.R.T. tweeters are superior in musical clarity and transient reproduction. They have an above average efficiency of ~93 dB/W/m, a perfectly linear impedance of 3.2 +/- 0.05 Ohms, an equally perfect phase response of +/- 1 degree within the used bandwidth, a reasonable directivity characteristic and a thermal power handling that exceeds that of 1" domes by a factor of 2 to 3. Summed up here is a completely new transducer that has no weaknesses in terms of operation, compatibility, reliability or other electroacoustic specifications. Looking back into loudspeaker history you will not find anything comparable.
