Adam Audio D3V Black

ADAM Audio D3V Black is a pair of 2-way powered desktop studio monitors in a black finish, designed for music production, songwriting, editing, content creation, and critical listening. They feature 3.5” aluminum woofers, 1.5” D-ART tweeters, side-mounted passive radiators, 240W total peak power, a frequency response of 45Hz to 23.2kHz, USB-C connectivity, balanced TRS inputs, a headphone output, Room Compensation DSP, a multi-function front control, and included tilt stands.

Studio sound in a desktop format

ADAM Audio D3V Black is a fully active desktop monitoring system, supplied as a pair and designed for producers, songwriters, content creators, and musicians who require accurate sound in compact spaces. The black finish enhances the D3V's compact design without altering its technical specifications: each monitor integrates a 3.5" aluminum woofer and a D-ART tweeter, while the side-mounted passive radiators extend the low-end response down to 45 Hz (45 Hz-23.2 kHz @ -6 dB).

D-ART and aluminum woofer: precision across the spectrum

The 1.5" D-ART tweeter utilizes the folded-diaphragm principle typical of ADAM Audio to achieve fast and detailed high-frequency reproduction, with 120° dispersion in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The 3.5" woofers use monoblock aluminum cones developed to combine lightness, rigidity, and excursion control. The two side-mounted passive radiators leverage internal cabinet pressure variations to reinforce the extension and presence of the low range without requiring a traditional bass reflex port.

240 W peak and direct digital USB-C connection

The integrated amplification delivers a total of 240 W peak: 2 x 80 W for the woofers and 2 x 40 W for the tweeters. In addition to the two 6.3 mm analog TRS inputs, which can be used with balanced or unbalanced signals, the D3V integrates a class-compliant USB-C audio input for plug-and-play connection with computers and compatible mobile devices.

Front control, headphones, and quick setup management

The knob on the front panel of the main monitor adjusts the volume and, via single or multiple presses, allows you to mute the sound, select the analog or USB input, and swap the left and right channels. When headphones are connected, the monitor drivers are automatically muted, and the front control adjusts the headphone listening level.

Room Compensation DSP to adapt to your workspace

On the back of the main monitor are dedicated DSP controls for acoustic compensation. The Position, Desk, and Room Acoustics settings allow you to adjust the response based on the distance from walls, the size of your desk, and the absorption characteristics of the room.

Included stands and microphone stand mounting

The system can be placed directly on a desk using the included adhesive pads or installed on the included tilt stands, which orient the acoustic axis upward by 15°. At the bottom of each cabinet, there is also a 3/8" threaded insert, compatible with standard microphone stands.

Target audience and use cases

ADAM AUDIO D3V Black is recommended for those working directly at a desk who want to avoid a dedicated audio interface thanks to the USB-C connection, while still maintaining balanced analog inputs.
