ADAM subwoofers

Our subwoofers are dedicated to ADAM Audios primary goal: the best possible authenticity in the reproduction of music. For our subwoofers, this means combining power and precision while simultaneously avoiding impressive bass volume at the cost of accuracy. Their task is it to complement the highly acclaimed lucidity and transparency of the ADAM monitors in the lower and lowest frequencies.

Room size/Subwoofer recommendations

The overview which can be found under FAQ 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.

Connectors and controls

All subwoofers up to the Sub2100 feature both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) in and output connectors, and numerous controls to adapt the subwoofer to different room acoustics and specific requirements: All units have a level control that varies from -60dB to +6dB, a phase ±180 switch and variable upper frequency barrier control (50-150 Hz), a switchable 85Hz high pass filter for the satellite output. In addition, there is a ‘signal-on/continuous’ switch. This provides the option of automatic power up whenever the subwoofer receives a signal and automatic power off after 15 minutes of no signal.

Sub20



The Sub20 is equipped with 2 long throw 10 inch drivers which are meant to reproduce LFE or other low frequency signals down to 25 Hz. The amplifier section has 2 units, each capable of delivering 200 W continuous peak power to their corresponding drive units. Both power supply and amplifier section use PWM technology, meaning very high efficiency (≥90percent) and cool operation in even the most critical phases of operation.

The power of 2 subwoofers and Force Compensation

The Sub20 has two drivers, which are mounted in chambers at opposite sides of the cabinet. Due to this alignment, the forces applied to the cabinet oppose each other and consequently compensate themselves, so that the cabinet stays much quieter than with conventional arrays. Distortion is drastically reduced in this manner, resulting in improved signal clarity, especially at higher levels.

Furthermore, there are 2 down firing bass reflex tubes that, because of their size and construction, successfully avoid ventilation noise.

An additional output allows daisy-chaining as many Sub20s as desired.
