Philip OKeefe Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Originally posted by billyb: Can't believe no one said ADAM Ants. Kinda goes with the "up and ADAM" theme. Remember the cartoon....Up and ADAM....ADAM Ant!!I don't know if it was suggested officially, but that was mentioned in the thread dB linked to. You guys should drop in and read it... it's a lot like this one, with some excellent suggestions. Besides, we don't bite or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hey, can we add on to your suggestion? I'm thinking ADAM AK47's - that'd really play up the ass-kicker bit. Of course, the nice folks at Kalashnikov might get upset at us... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peake Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 ADAM Aura. An oblique reference to another product our humble moderator was heavily involved with. ADAM Aura, phoenetically similar to Andromeda backwards, "ademordnA". Yes, I'm weird. I also love ADAM monitors. Can't wait to see what wins, congrats Dave and Klaus, and now a 5.1 ADAM system doesn't sound too out of the ballpark..

DafDuc Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 No good ideas here, so I'll reflect on a few: AK - maybe. I'd let Ass Kicker be the underground name though - remember there's a lot of Christian studios that might pass over a product with too edgy a name. As to the copyright, you could always call 'em AK-47.1's, LOL. Avatar - Might be a negative callback to the demise of ARP... Aspire - might be a negative callback to that crappy little Ford. Acuity - YES, YES, YES! Rolls off the tongue, says what you want to hear about a monitor. --------------- BTW, my favorite product name of the past few years has to be Reason's NN-19. Just brilliant. You did notice it, right? Right? Still don't get it? Try saying "nuh-nuh" instead of "en-en". Got it now? Good for you... Daf I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored.

Lee Flier Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Please do keep in mind that international translation is a factor...ADAM Germany is reeeeeal sensitive to that. Well just to see what happened... I translated my entry (Allure) into several languages... German: Allüre (cool! hardly even any different!) Dutch: Fascinatie French: Attrait (or l'Allure) Spanish: Encanto Italian: Fascino Looks as though it translates well! Hopefully none of these words are also colloquialisms for "dog breath" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Togakure99 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Originally posted by Lee Flier: I went with the ADAM "Allure." Cuz it sounds slightly sexy, and sex sells. In that case how about the ADAM 36DD powered monitor? Turn these puppies on and they'll let you massage and caress your mix to milk it for every frequency... I can just see the print ad copy now: "What a pair!" D'oh, what the hell Add on the Sub24 and with a nice stereo pair of 36DD monitors, you'll have a great 36 - 24 - 36 body of sound.

We're going to go with the capital letter version - ARTist. In a related bad joke that's sure to make at least a few people wince, I've already begun referring to them as: The ARTist (formerly known as Apple).
