The short-form explanation of this approach is that by using an accordion-like fold that's compressing and expanding, you're effectively squeezing air out at higher velocities than the physical membrane can move, making the driver much more accurate than standard tweeter designs. All ADAM monitors have an ART (Accelerated Ribbon Technology) tweeter design. Part of the main appeal of the P22A to me is the detailed treble that's very low in ear fatigue. I've always wanted a pair of P22As for my home space, but price-wise they've always been a bit out of reach. They feel like real tools, like a level, or measuring tape-but still fun to listen to, so I can forget that I'm working sometimes. I've trusted them to guide me through mixes when I'm feeling a bit adrift or the days are getting long.

They're accurate without being strident and musical without feeling hyped.

They've been just about my favorite monitors that I've ever used. Over the last two years, mixing at The Hangar, John Baccigalupi's studio in Sacramento, I've come to rely on the pair of ADAM P22As that John has in the control room there.
