ADAM Audio F5 Studio Monitor Wins Prestigious DJ Mag Award 2013

4:22 PM lamusic No comments

Berlin, September 2013. The ADAM Audio F5 studio monitor has won the DJ Mag Tech Award in the "Best Studio Monitor“ category. A panel of industry professionals selected nominees, then voting was opened to the public with winners announced at the 2013 BPM show in Birmingham, UK. The annual award is one of the most prestigious awards in the DJ scene.

“We are absolutely delighted with this award," said Klaus Heinz, CEO and chief engineer at ADAM Audio. "The fact that DJs from around the world voted for our F5 makes us very proud. It shows us that the decision to offer professional studio technology at a new, lower price point has been a good one. With the new F series, the many talented artists and producers of electronic music are now able to have the same great tools the world’s best producers and mastering experts rely on. The extraordinary clarity of the X-ART tweeter – handmade in Berlin – paired with the powerful bass reproduction of the woofer makes these speakers highly attractive.”

Professional Monitoring with the F5 speaker

The F5 offers all the features users want to see in a professional studio monitor: a broad frequency range (52Hz - 50kHz) and comprehensive control. The monitor is equipped with a Room Equalizer for high (> 5kHz) and low (< 300Hz) frequencies and an overall volume control on the rear panel. A high pass filter and XLR/TRS/RCA inputs complete the professional functions of the F5. The F5 is driven by two A/B class amplifiers with 50W RMS / 70W Music. This helps the monitor to provide a vibrant, deep bass and a maximum SPL of 106dB per pair. The reproduction of dynamically challenging tracks should not be a problem with this monitor. The main element responsible for the natural sound of ADAM loudspeakers is the proprietary X-ART tweeter. Handmade in Berlin, Germany, it performs with a nearly flat frequency response up to 50 kHz.

Hagstrom Super Swede Electric Guitar in Cherry Sunburst

4:39 PM lamusic 1 comment

Serious guitarists worldwide are jazzed about the reintroduction of the Hagstrom Super Swede, especially at such an amazingly low price. Brilliant craftsmanship is evident in every detail of the mahogany body with carved maple top, flamed maple veneer, set mahogany neck, and bound Resinator fretboard with pearl block inlays. The queen of the Hagstrom line, the Super Swede sports Custom '58 humbuckers with thick, rich bottom end and warm clarity on top plus coil splitting for single-coil sounds.

H-Expander Truss Rod
All Hagstrom guitars feature our revolutionary patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at either end and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for very low action and a thin neck, earning us our reputation as the "Fastest Neck on the Planet."

Resinator™ Fretboard
Yet another Hagstrom exclusive, the Resinator™ Fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. Resinator™ Fretboards offer the articulate sound of high quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable, and fast, the Hagstrom neck is a guitarist's dream come true.
