ADAM Audio Sub8 PRO is a compact active studio subwoofer designed for producers, mixing engineers and sound designers who need detailed low-frequency monitoring. Its high-excursion 8-inch woofer works with Class D amplification and onboard DSP to reproduce bass while managing crossover, filtering and equalisation. With analogue and AES3 connections, three operating modes and network calibration, it integrates into stereo and multichannel studios. Adjustable phase and bass management help blend the subwoofer with the main monitors.

Creative Tools

• Examine the relationship between kick drums and bass instruments, making it easier to hear competing low notes and judge the weight of an arrangement.
• Check low-frequency effects that smaller monitors may reproduce less clearly, including sustained rumbles and deep synthesizer parts.
• Use Stereo Mode with bass management to share reproduction between the subwoofer and connected monitors.
• Choose LFE or Wide Mode when configuring suitable multichannel or immersive monitoring systems.
• Adjust phase, level and crossover during setup to improve the transition between the subwoofer and main speakers at the listening position.
• Use ADAM Control to refine equalisation and timing, or deploy compatible Sonarworks SoundID Reference calibration profiles.
• Connect an optional footswitch to compare stereo playback with bass management enabled or bypassed.
• Revisit the bass balance of a mix after calibration to assess whether individual sounds remain distinct and the low end supports the music.

Ideal For

• Music producers
• Mixing engineers
• Sound designers
• Post-production studios
• Compact stereo monitoring systems
• Immersive audio monitoring
