by Adam Audio’s F5 Active Nearfield Monitor is the smallest member of the company’s F-Series family, which caters to the entry-level pro audio market.

Each black F5 sports Adam’s X-ART tweeter and a 5-inch, glass-fibre/paper woofer. Separate 25-Watt amplifiers power each driver.

The power supply is switchable between 115 and 220 volts.
