The development of the ART or Accelerating Ribbon Technology tweeter was the key for the success including the use of modern materials like rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm foils.

After ten years the original ART driver construction had been improved as X-ART or eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology[3] which tweeters and midrange speakers are characterized by an extended frequency range and higher efficiency. ADAM is using amplifier with a bandwidth of up to 300 kHz to improve the reproduction of the sound.

The CEO of ADAM was sentenced 2014 in Germany by signing credit declarations as scientist, but he was not, and ADAM had to declare bankruptcy on 11/19/2014,[4] German entrepreneurs have acquired ownership of ADAM Professional Audio on 12/11/2014 and the company was back to normal shortly after this event.[5]

At the Berlin factory are currently 55 employees working. The company is represented in more than 75 countries including local branches in the USA, the United Kingdom and China.
