ADAM Audio’s first professional studio headphone – the STUDIO PRO SP-5.

ADAM Audio, the German engineers that brought us the precision S Series studio monitors and renowned worldwide for their industry-leading professional studio monitoring technology, have extended their expertise to the studio headphones product category.

The ADAM SP-5 is a circumaural, closed back headphone manufactured to exacting standards, delivering a smoothly balanced sound across a broad frequency spectrum from 8 Hz to 38 kHz, that comes with two detachable cables and a rugged carry case; protecting the headphones from being damaged when not in use during travel. As with every ADAM Audio product it is covered by a 2-year warranty that can be extended by 3 years with product registration in the MyADAM user area.

With a mutual passion for creating products that offer the best possible audio reproduction, ADAM Audio combined with Ultrasone, also based in Germany and renowned for its decades of experience in first-class quality headphones, creating the perfect partnership to design and manufacture ADAM’s first professional studio headphone.

The challenge was to create an all new product that would compliment ADAM’s existing monitoring range but with a portable solution. During the product’s design, the ADAM SP-5’s components were carefully selected, iteratively re-voiced and tuned, and changes were made to its diaphragm and housing based on direction from ADAM Audio’s engineers, giving the SP-5 its own special character creating a sound and tonality that was right and carried the acclaimed ADAM Audio sonic signature.

The ADAM SP-5 headphones were engineered with a specific goal in mind — to allow professional musicians, producers and engineers access to a portable form of monitoring with the excellent transient response and tonal balance of ADAM Audio’s professional monitor speakers.

This premium headphone integrates Ultrasone´s S-LOGIC technology, employing transducers spatially arranged to exploit the natural form of the human ear and utilising the natural acoustics of the wearer’s pinna to channel sound into the ear canal. The result is a superbly natural sound experience with startlingly realistic spatial imaging of a quality typical of a stereo monitoring system installed and calibrated by experts. This system makes mixing on the SP-5 easier than on traditional headphone designs that simply point directly at the ear canal.

The ADAM SP-5’s transducer utilizes a 40 mm gold plated diaphragm allowing for a wide frequency response from 8 Hz to 38 kHz, excellent transient response, and low distortion. Reproducing sound with pristine resolution across the entire bandwidth, the sensitivity of 95 dB @ 1 mW per ear enables the listener to exploit its generous dynamic capabilities when listening. 
The ADAM SP-5’s patented S-LOGIC ® Plus technology allows for excellent analysis of the sound staging, high- precision audio reproduction with maximum passive isolation, long hours of fatigue- free listening and seamless transition between headphones and studio. With isolating padding and a total weight of just 290 grams these professional studio headphones ensure maximum wearing comfort.

The S Series is the combination of many years of advanced in-house engineering innovation at ADAM Audio and the latest computer aided design techniques, the SP-5 fits perfectly within ADAM Audio’s range of reference – class monitors and follows the same objectives of providing ultra-precise reproduction of audio material. The advantage of S-LOGIC technology is that they require less SPL to deliver the same subjectively experienced volume. ADAM have taken great care to reduce distortion artefacts and ensure that this headphone is comfortable to wear for extended periods, making the SP-5 an excellent choice for long mixing sessions.
