About: Adam Audio Sub10 Pro 10" 200-Watt RMS Active Subwoofer - 3 Ohm

Combining advanced DSP with powerful low-frequency reproduction, the Sub10 PRO provides a solid foundation for stereo and mulitchannel monitoring. As part of our latest generation of networked subwoofers, it pairs a high-excursion 10” woofer with an FEA-optimised bass port and a high-performance Class D amplifier to deliver tightly controlled bass.

A comprehensive range of professional connectivity and control options can be found on the Sub10 PRO’s backplate. Alongside precise phase and crossover adjustment, it provides AES3 digital I/O, balanced analog I/O via XLR and TRS, and a dedicated footswitch input for activating or bypassing bass management.

Network connectivity facilitates extensive management and calibration options through ADAM Control, the dedicated software for networked ADAM Audio products. Users can time-align the subwoofer, fine-tune its response across four bands of parametric EQ, and run Sonarworks calibration profiles directly on its integrated platform. ADAM Control also enables firmware updates, allowing future functionality to be added to the subwoofer.

The Sub10 PRO offers three operating modes to accommodate different monitoring applications. Stereo provides straightforward routing for conventional 2.1 systems, while the dedicated LFE setting is optimised for immersive workflows such as Dolby Atmos. Wide mode allows full-range playback, providing flexibility for equalisation elsewhere in the signal chain.

The extensive technology inside is housed in a robust wooden enclosure, with a sturdy metal grille providing protection for the 10” woofer.
