Adam Audio Sub12

The Sub12 is a powerful active subwoofer that extends the playback range of near- and midfield monitors down to 22 Hz.

A robust special low-frequency driver with a large excursion and a highly durable voice coil has been optimized for precise reproduction in a bass reflex enclosure. The downward-firing bass reflex port avoids unwanted wind noise through generous sizing and shaping. The PWM amplifier achieves an efficiency of over 90%, allowing even critical passages to be handled without overheating for extended periods. An additional output allows for the cascading of any number of subwoofers.

For medium to large control rooms, this subwoofer offers an excellent combination of low cutoff frequency (-3 dB at 22 Hz) and high undistorted sound pressure (115 dB SPL at 1 m).

All ADAM subwoofers come with differentiated options to adapt them to the specific room or satellites.

There are controls for volume (-60 to +6 dB), phase switching (180°), and variable upper cutoff frequency of the subwoofer (50-150 Hz). A filter can be activated for the satellite outputs that blocks signals from the satellites below 85 Hz, for example, to reproduce film sound in Dolby compliance and relieve them from low frequencies. Additionally, the subwoofer can be manually turned on or off, or set to automatically activate when it receives signals (signal-on/continuous).
