ADAM Sub12 Powered Studio Subwoofer Speaker

Give your low end some respect with this powered studio subwoofer. The ADAM Sub12 features balanced I/O, and phase and cutoff controls to dial in your sound.

Overview

The Sub12 is a powerful subwoofer designed to extend the low frequency capabilities of any near or midfield monitoring system down to 22Hz.

A sturdy special woofer with extended cone travel and a heavy-duty coil have been optimized for accurate reproduction from a bass reflex enclosure. The down-firing bass reflex tube avoids intrusive ventilation noise because of its generous size and shape. The PWM amplifier produces over 90% efficiency and can handle critical passages without overheating for long periods of time. An additional output allows you to cascade as many subwoofers as needed.

The Sub12 subwoofer provides a precise combination of low cutoff frequency (-3dB at 22Hz) and an undistorted high sound pressure level (115dB SPL at 1m).

ADAM Audio subwoofers are designed with one primary goal in mind: Achieving absolute accuracy and an authentic natural sound in the process of music reproduction. This means combining exceptional bass power with precision and clarity in every subwoofer. These elements are the perfect partners to complement the highly acclaimed clarity and transparency of ADAM monitors in the lower and lowest frequencies. All subwoofers feature both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) input/output connectors and comprehensive control options that allow for adapting to different room acoustics and requirements.

All subwoofers feature a level control (-60dB to +6dB), phase switch (180*) and a variable upper frequency control (50-150Hz). For the satellite outputs,… read more an 85Hz high pass filter can be switched in to block frequencies below 85Hz so satellite speakers can meet the Dolby(R) recommendations for theater sound and also to relieve the satellites from the lower frequencies. In addition, you can either switch on/off the subwoofer manually or use the option of automatically powering up the subwoofer whenever it receives a signal (signal-on/continuous).

Absolutely awesome!! I've owned and heard some pretty impressive subwoofers in my time, the Sub12's are in my opinion one of the best I've heard in quite some time. I'm using mine in a home theater setup it has a very visceral bottom end response is quite fast not sloppy or bloated. Over all performance was not impacted to huge degree by placement, at least not in my room. I tucked it in a corner of the front wall about a foot from the left side and rear walls and dialed it in. **NOTE** I only gave 1 star for "Manufacturer Support" because I have not had a need to contact the manufacturer and that field could not be left black or N/A.
