5 T10S SUBWOOFER MANUAL [ENGLISH]
REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN
Since its launch in 1999, Berlin-based ADAM Audio quickly gained international
prominence and respect as a manufacturer of reliable and highly accurate reference
monitors. This reputation for high resolution performance has led to ADAM Audio
monitors being used by engineers in top recording studios worldwide.
The T10S is a powerful yet compact active subwoofer, designed to extend the bass
response of any nearfield studio monitor. However, the subwoofer’s performance,
features and connectivity are engineered specifically to complement ADAM Audio’s
T series speakers.
VERSATILE CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
On the rear side of the T10S subwoofer is a sturdy metal backplate with comprehensive
controls and analog input and output connections that allow use with virtually any
speaker system:
→ A 2-channel set of balanced XLR connectors and unbalanced RCA connectors allow
use with mixers and I/O boxes using +4 dBu or -10 dBV nominal operating levels.
→ The 3-way crossover switch on the T10S rear panel allows for the selection of
standard bass management crossover frequencies or the use of an external
crossover, adapting the subwoofer to any system’s requirements.
→ The T10S subwoofer has its own level control, which is especially useful to balance
output level with the connected studio monitors.
→ The phase switch on the rear panel allows for proper acoustic alignment with the
connected studio monitors in a system.
→ The T10S can automatically accept AC mains voltages ranging from 100 V to 240 V,
at 50/60 Hz — simply plug it in and go!
Please see Section 3 of this manual for an illustrated key to the T10S rear-panel con-
nections and controls. Optimal use of rear-panel connections and controls is explained
in greater detail in Sections 4 and 5 of this manual.
