ADAM Audio Sub10 PRO Active Subwoofer
The ADAM Audio Sub10 PRO brings controlled low-frequency reproduction to stereo and multichannel monitoring systems. Its high-excursion, fiber-reinforced paper-based woofer, PWM amplification and DSP work with network-based calibration, while the front-fire, front-ported cabinet keeps the design focused on practical studio installation.
Shape the Room Response
ADAM Control provides networked calibration and management through an RJ45 Ethernet connection, with 4-bands QEQ for room adaptation. SoundID Reference by Sonarworks is also supported, giving stereo and multichannel A Series and Sub PRO systems a clear path to measured setup and more tailored bass response.
Build a Flexible Monitoring Path
Analog and AES3 connections make it straightforward to place the subwoofer within a professional monitoring chain. Two XLR/TRS combi inputs, XLR analog outputs and AES3 digital input and output accommodate analogue or digital signal selection, while variable crossover points of 70, 85, 100 and 115 Hz allow bass management to suit the system.
Choose the Right Operating Mode
Three operating modes—Stereo, LFE and Wide—cover different monitoring arrangements, including immersive audio setups. Phase selection, adjustable level and a latched TRS bypass connection offer practical control during installation and checking. The bypass can also be triggered via a footswitch, which is not included.
Built for Studio Use
The robust wooden cabinet uses vinyl-wrapped MDF with a painted MDF front panel, plus a protective metal grille. A front port shaped through FEA modelling supports airflow around the bass port, while independent peak and thermo limiters, over-current, over-temperature and under-voltage protection safeguard operation.
