Home / Adam Audio-A8H-B SIDE Midfield Studio Monitor
The A8H incorporates an 8-inch resonant Multi-Layer Mineral (MLM) fiber woofer, innovative midrange driver, and handmade precision X-ART tweeter, which together produce an ultra-wide frequency response.
Like the other members of the A Series family, the A8H gives you tremendous flexibility for fine-tuning the sound through rotatable HPS waveguide technology and onboard DSP. At home across a full range of audio applications in mid- to full-sized spaces, the A8H is the right choice when you’re looking for the most detailed representation of your audio.
The A8H is available in a left and right version.

3.5" DCH Midrange Driver
Total Peak Amp. Power: 340 W
Frequency Response @ -6 dB: 31 Hz – 45 kHz
Max. peak SPL per speaker at 1 m: 105 dB SPL
ADAM Audio monitors have earned a worldwide reputation for the innovations that we have established in the field of loudspeaker technology. Here you can explore the technology of the A8H.
The DSP-based functionality of all A Series monitors can be controlled remotely and in real time over ethernet using A Control.
Made from a new glass fiber polymer compound, the HPS waveguide enables the X-ART tweeter to disperse sound in space with controlled consistency.
The new A Series cabinets build on the heritage of ADAM Audio and the AX Series in particular.
ADAM Audio is proud to partner with Sonarworks on an automated room correction solution that runs directly on the DSP of A Series monitors.
The A Series combines the best of both digital and analog worlds.
The latest materials and advanced analysis and design processes have led to the development of our new long-throw woofers.
A Series midrange drivers deliver clean sound in the critical part of the frequency range where humans are especially sensitive to coloration of sound.
A “Voicing” is a pre-defined sound profile of an A Series monitor. On the back panel, you will find two different selections, “UNR” and “Pure”.
On the back panel of A Series speakers, you will find four bands of room adaptation equalization: Bass, Desk, Presence and Treble.
The A Series capitalizes on the transformative power of DSP-based electronics to provide greater tuning precision than analog-only speakers.
The ADAM Audio A8H B-Side is a professional 3-way active studio monitor designed for high-precision mixing, mastering, and immersive audio applications. Built with premium components and advanced DSP control, it delivers powerful output, extended frequency response, and accurate sound reproduction.
