Throughout December we offered the opportunity for over 30 people to win a prize of your choice from an amazing bundle of prizes that we pulled together from our generous partners, worth around £30,000.
Each day, we took a closer look at each of the prizes in turn. Today we are looking at ADAM Audio A5X Nearfield Studio Monitors Worth $999.
The competition closed on December 31st 2019 and we’re pleased to be able to announce the winner is Loïc Delpuech.
I'm french and I'm 35. I live in Bayonne, a small town in Basque country stuck between the mountains and the ocean.
I've been a musician for almost 30 years. I play the keyboards and the guitar and I also try to sing or play the bass. I've recorded three albums with my old band during the early 2000s. I love all genres of music but my main musical influence is British and American rock, punk and alternative : Pixies, Eels, Grandaddy, Beatles, Supergrass.
I am currently a sound engineer working at the radio « France Bleu » which is part of « Radio France », the french public radio.
For me this prize is a godsend since I was saving money to buy audio studio monitors which was almost the only thing missing in my setup to have a proper work environment. I could use some additional mics though, so I'll happily spend my money on them now.
Fisrtly, this prize will help me with my own music since I have begun to record an album recently that I'm planning to release in the following year.
Secondly this prize will allow me to start a freelance mixing career, since I would happily collaborate with other artists in my country by mixing their music and/or writing music with them.
The A5X is a popular monitor choice among audio professionals. They are also commonly found in home and small project studios around the world. Its open, powerful sound makes the A5X a reliable and useful tool for multimedia applications as well.
Like all models of ADAM Audio's AX-Series, the A5X features ADAM Audio‘s proprietary X-ART tweeter. One 5.5“ bass/midrange woofer works below 2.5kHz and is driven by a 1.5“ voice coil and a powerful 50 Watt PWM amplifier. Its acoustic qualities give you a clear picture of the smallest changes in your mix and the sonic results.
