Sub7
The Sub7 has been designed to complement smaller monitors like
the AX-Series. Its small footprint allows for an easy placement even in
small environments.
The front panel features two motorized potentiometers that let you
adapt the input level and crossover frequency settings for the best
performance. These pots can also be controlled with an included
wireless remote control, allowing you to optimize your sound
reproduction from your ideal listening position.
The Sub7 is equipped with both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced
(RCA or Cinch) in and output connectors and numerous controls. A
0°/180° phase switch and a switchable 85Hz highpass filter allows
you to find the best settings for an ideal sound and performance.
The low cut off frequency of 32Hz (-3dB point) enables this subwoofer
to reproduce register of even this range in a highly authentic manner.
Sub10 Mk2 / Sub12
The Sub10 Mk2 and the Sub12 are powerful subwoofers designed
to extend the low frequency capabilities of any near or midfield
monitoring and are ideal matches for ADAM monitors such as the
AX- or the SX-Series.
A large (2”) voice coil is driven by a 200W Ice Power amp. This
amp stays cool as it uses PWM (pulse width modulation, see p. 38)
technology in the amp and the power supply sections, producing >
90% overall efficiency, and can handle its maximum power without
danger to the electronics or the driver. The Sub10 Mk2 houses an
10” woofer, capable of a frequency response of 25 Hz - 150Hz. The
larger Sub12 has a 12” woofer capable of producing a 3dB higher SPL
max output and reproduces frequencies down to 22Hz.
Both versions work with a new down-firing bass reflex tube that, due
to its shape and size, avoids unnecessary ventilation noise. For larger
rooms or higher levels it is possible to chain as many ADAM Subs
together as necessary. All inputs and outputs have both XLR and RCA
(cinch) connectors.
Sub8
The Sub8 is a small yet deceptively powerful subwoofer designed
to extend the low frequency capabilities of any nearfield monitoring
system. The Sub8 houses a robust 8.5” woofer with an 1.5” voice
coil, and is driven by a 160W ICE Power amp. This amp stays cool
while handling maximum power levels, even if they are sustained.
The front baffle features two motorized knobs that let you tailor input
level and crossover frequency settings for the best performance in
your studio. These knobs can be controlled with an included wireless
remote, allowing you to optimize your sound reproduction from your
ideal listening position.
The Sub8 is an ideal match for ADAM monitors such as the AX-
Series, S1X, and S2X.

Subwoofer recommendations
The overview allows finding the right subwoofer for different room
sizes. It should be noted that these are recommendations only.
Depending on your SPL demand or the kind of music you prefer you
may go up or down the ladder of course.
