## Description

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

Review: Incredibly sound in and small format - 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.
Review: 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.
