Overview

The Adam Audio Sub8 PRO is a compact, networked active subwoofer with onboard DSP. It adds a solid low end to small monitoring systems, such as a pair of ADAM A Series monitors, and suits stereo mixing rooms as well as immersive and Dolby Atmos setups.

  • 8" high-excursion woofer with a fiber-reinforced paper cone, an FEA-optimised front port and a Class D amplifier rated at 200 W RMS / 325 W peak
  • Ethernet network control through ADAM Control for Windows and macOS, with manual time alignment, a 4-band parametric EQ, Sonarworks profile loading and firmware updates
  • Analog and digital I/O: two XLR/TRS combo inputs, two XLR outputs and AES3 digital input and output on XLR
  • Four operating modes: Remote Control, Local/Stereo, LFE (<120 Hz) for immersive work and Wide for full-range or bass-managed systems
  • Selectable crossover points at 70, 85, 100 and 115 Hz, eight phase settings and 0 to 10 ms of delay
  • Footswitch bypass of bass management over a TRS connection (footswitch not included)

Calibration can happen in three ways: in ADAM Control, with Sonarworks SoundID Reference and a measurement microphone for stereo and multichannel systems, or directly with the controls on the backplate. That means the sub can be set up quickly without a computer, then fine-tuned over the network once the rest of the system is in place.

The latching footswitch bypass makes it easy to compare the mix with and without bass management, which helps when checking how a mix translates on smaller speakers. Inside, the DSP runs at 96 kHz with 24-bit conversion on the analog inputs, and separate peak and thermal limiters plus over-current, over-temperature and under-voltage protection guard the driver and amplifier.

The front-firing, front-ported cabinet is made of vinyl-wrapped MDF with a painted MDF front panel, and a metal grille protects the woofer. At 385 x 300 x 365 mm it fits under a desk or beside the monitors in compact rooms.
