ADAM AUDIO T7V - I Fell For The Hype! (Watch This Before You Buy) #adamaudio

I'm assuming if you are producing Hip Hop, you have sub added to your studio. If not, the T7V really should be paired with a sub. You're missing that low-end. I have both and prefer the Adam's over the KRK's. Some of what we are hearing could be just how we hear things. The Adams are also a much flatter response speaker. Good honest feed back though.

isnt it a bit unfair to compare a 7" membrane to a 8" ? ofc the 8 will have more punch lol

They are the Consumer version I just picked up their professional A7Vs with 24bit 96K DSP & Built in Sonarworks to Export patches to the Mointor Controlled by Built in Internet port on the back of each monitor It to also address a fully 6 band parametric EQ with ADAM A-Control 799.$ per Monitor 1600$ for the Pair vs 280$ Each the T series where made for people that want to get to ADAM but can't Drop 800$ to 2K$ a Monitor Moreover Theae A7Vs are 👌🏽 For Film Dialogue Hip hop jazz Any style of Music. Now I like KRK but their High End Brand is not the Rokit Series still Consumer grade but the V Series would be KRKs Pro Monitors.

I bought them with the 10Ts sub

I'v had both. Adams are more flat, more critical listening monitors. Far more true. KRK is more hyped in the low end like a consumer speaker, to my ears they do not deliver a truthful translation of your mix. THe adams with a small sub blow them away for actually getting a mix balance with any source material that isn'e an 808 with a vocal overthe top. Mixing without the hyped sub lows and then turning on the sub to "Get Loud" is IMO a way better way to work than having tubby guts all the time.

The quality of bass of KRK is inferior than Adam Audio, this guy is wrong in every aspect, beware

Don't believe a guy who's biased with his own gear. Visit your local music store and compare KRK speakers with Adam Audio. The difference is outstanding; Adam Audio surpasses KRK in every aspect.

However, when it comes to subs, it's a different story. I actually prefer KRK subs over Adam Audio subs."

Guy's comparing Beats to Beyerdynamic 😂

review about ADAM Audio and you dont have any of this, but what you have, is KRK. Really bro? This is stup*d bullshit, not review and of course hevay propaganda about KRK, just Hip Hop head...

I didn't try the T7V, but I comapred the KRK 5 G4 vs T5V and for mixing my main genras of music (electronica, techno, minimal, psytrance) the KRK is too bright especially for the lows. The T5V was more balanced with amazing highs and tastefully boosted lows.

This shit is bait

If you wan't lowend go for Eve audio. They beat any krk handsdown when it comes to bass extension (not boosted but they go much lower than adams) plus they have AMTs.

Wish I saw your review b4 buying the ADAM audio speakers. I have Yamaha hs8 and sub which i love but wanted additional perspective when mixing and totally fell for the Adan hype. I kept the Adam T8v for one week and could not return them fast enough! They added absolutely nothing whether isolated or in concert with my Yamahas. Now I'm considering an old friend Mackie 824 mk2 but i'm not seeing any glowing reviews. So I'm kinda stuck at the moment feeling shell shocked after the Adam audio experience.

I have a sub... Do you think they'd be thick and loud enough with that in the setup?

It sounds like you simply get used to boomy sounds instead of the flat (ish) ones in Adam's. Which is okay.

Your room doesn't have base traps...

How do the Kali lp6 v2 a d jbl 306p mk2 compare for music listening for edm rap etc.?

Adam A5X, A7X (or newest A7V), or cheaper/budget T7V - all are designed to work with dedicated subwoofers like Adam Sub8, 10 or higher (IF you need to work with very low frequencies). SO just read the manual next time.

good video the hype is not real fr

Thanks for your comments everybody. But I'm looking for monitors for electric guitar, rock, metal, heavy. Do I get well that KRK's are not for me? Almost bougjt a pair of 5" gen4 this night.
Any recommendation? I also heard KRK's have hiss issues 🤨 True or is it people using them wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Hate to say it but you're right.
These sound as bad as it could be.
First time I bought monitors and not pleased at all. I can't even sleep this night. I am pretty upset
Bought them yesterday and already feeling bad about it.
No lows. weird mids. 2+ db boost didn't make a difference at all.
Indeed +2db on high, no go at all.

My hifi speakers are way more fun to listen to.
for the 400 bucks it's a very bad thing.
I gonna switch them for the KRK, and try them out, if not good then no monitors for me at all.
Very dull sound.
Sorry Adam Audio but that's my honest opinion.

Your review on these are pretty solid. Very honest. Thanks for that. I watched this before buying them and it is indeed true. THEY ARE BAD.

You deserved a like my man:)

Question: What do you prefer for me with dance music?
I own a Traktor S4 MK3 and using the T7V's on that makes me wanna crush my head.
My Koda Hi-Fi speakers (that were pretty cheap 20 years ago) are way better sounding then these T7V's.

good thing you have never tried the Yamaha HS7 or HS5, cuz they truly lacks the low end. Cuz i know i owned the HS7 for about a month. Then i had the chance to listen to both T7V and T5V. what i immediatly catch was smooth treble. I do not know why you said it is just another tweeter. for my ears it was instant cuz i took few songs my self where i have listened many times. for me T5V are more balanced than T7V. In a fact T7V lacks little bit low end. But for the price T5V was truly impressive. I dont know others but for my ears it (T5V) is not a hyped product. guess what, I immediately returned the Yamaha HS7 (midrange is bit spicy) and bought T5V. with that I was able to save 140 euros. I did add another 60 Euros and bought PreSonus Eris sub 8. now the setup is incredibly balanced and sounds incredible. BTW sub bass has little bit heavy bass so gotta reduce the sub gain almost two 3rd.

with Adam Audio T7V you need a sub and that goes for any speaker if you're a mixing engineer . if you just produce and not mix than you're fine without a sub.

You're evaluating an analytical monitor as a regular speaker. It's not supposed to have pronounced bass since that wouldn't be accurate response.

ehm sorry... its a monitor! if you want crank bass, then use a sub, or better 2 or 4! i love the t7v and with passfilter of my sub, they work very very good and also VERY VERY CLEAR AND LOUD.

One issue with making modern Hip Hop and even electronic music is that for the most part you’re using sounds and samples that have have ALREADY been mixed and mastered by professional engineers to hodge-podge together in a project that sounds like something that you composed. That’s not at all what these speakers were made for. These are for musicians who have a microphone and an instrument/voice and need a true representation of what your microphone is picking up to mix the raw and unadulterated sounds in an honest way. These are NOT meant to sound like your $5000 car stereo system.

I guess when you are conditioned to KRKs with exaggerated bass, you expected a more hifi sound and not a clinically flatter & more analytical reproduction of your material.

Lol krk are for basic music

And you could go with KRK V8 S4 which is the top of the range of krk it blows out of the water the krk g4 or g3. Agree with you with the tv7s i had them for 2 days, sold them straight up they are very artificial sounding, weird mids as well not to say garbage

you missed out bro....

You got the wrong ones
It’s A7X never get the T’s if you’re a Pro

Blah,blah, blah best monitors is too subjective, who has the best set of ears? I say use what you like. I drop monsta bass, drum technofunk.
I dropped rockits when i discovered translation from studio, to car, to cellphone speakers.
I have both that adams T7 and Hedd Type 07 and for their price T7 is unmatched, bar none.

If you jamming out to hip hop, yeah krks. But if you are mixing and need real balance, there is no comparison Adams all day.

What's the point of this vid?

I had the Adam Audio T5V. After breaking them in they were punchy and crisp no matter how high I pushed them. I would never choose KRK rover Adam audio. And now that I’ve gone up to the T7V, stop playing!

But did you break them in?

The problem isn't the Adams, it's your expectations that 6, 7 and even 8 inch monitors will produce low bass. Get a subwoofer and stop wasting time.

i heared over 20 Studio Monitors side by side in a music shop. And i can say the Yamaha, KRK and Presonus have a mid range boost.
The Neumann an Genelog are more neutral and so the Adam Audio also do.
So the question is, have the Yamaha, KRK, Presonus correct mid range and the other to low mids?
Or have the Yamaha,KRK,Presonus to much mids and the Adams,Neumann,Genelec are correct?
By hearing the over 20 Studio Monitors, the Adam(T8v), Neumann and Genelec was the most neutral sound and were in the middle of aberration of all over 20 studio monitors.
So if these are more the middle of all studio monitors i think this is a good base that your done mix sound relativ good on all studio monitors and hifi speakers ;-)

Is there a difference between Krk and Yamaha hs8

I just bought the t7v, noticed the bass problem aswell, tried moving back like 3 meters and ahh.. theeeres the bass 😅 well, it has bass, but not in the near field where im sitting 🤔

Nice comparing a 7inch VS 8inch woofer... also Low Amp on T7V is 50 watts vs 75 watts on the Rokit 8 ... it is kinda obvious the KRK will sound much louder just by looking at those specs...

Well yeah, KRK have added coloration, they are targeted for bedroom producers and djs that are just starting out. The V series is what most engineers go towards with KRK. Adam audio released the t series as their budget lineup, they usually make extremely high end products easily above $1000, their top of the line products go up to $50,000. KRK is popular because it's affordable. That's about it. If you are serious about production, you will want to hear every detail so you can make accurate decisions. Adam does actually have a line up designed for DJs. That's what I know at least.

Maybe they were made just for 2.1 to make that selling of their subs? Like. They got to sell them man, they just must.
I am considering buying something for my home office where hip hop and rock are two most played genres. And I was thinking that something is not right when I saw only hyped reviews. I need to hear some monitors before buying. Most-def not buying before having opportunity to test them.

What is your opinion on 2.1 setup for mostly music listening? Is it worth it or would you rather spend more on better 2.0 speakers? 🤔

Bro, What 7 inch size monitors would you recommend ? I make hip hop.

This is the most funny video i've ever seen about those monitors 😂 u don't know how to use them i think u've to burn in the monitors before using them .. u r the only one in this world who complain about those pair i've t7v's and they are fantastic

The Adam audio are for critical listening and mixing the krk monitors are great for production but too me they aren’t good for mixing because they have an exaggerated low end and hyped treble somewhat of a v shaped sound but if your aware of that and understand how to compensate for that you can still mix with them I just think it’s more difficult to do ✌🏽

i bought adam t8v's last december, before i had krk's rokit 5 and to be honest i feel that i made bad decision. 😢

Dude. I fell for it also. THEY SUCK big time! The bass is horrible! I end up selling them and kept my Rockit 6. They sound incredible compared to the adams. I still can’t believe how bad they are. Don’t buy them!

Just saved me wasting my money. Thanks

Krk v6 user here. They rock. Not buying into hype.
