Adam Audio has announced the Sub8 Pro, Sub10 Pro and Adam Control, the German company’s management and calibration platform for all existing and future network-connected devices.
At the core of the new subwoofers are the high-performance 8-inch and 10-inch woofers featuring fibre-reinforced paper cones and elasticated rubber surrounds. This combination allows considerable excursion while maintaining the mechanical integrity required for accurate, controlled bass reproduction. Class-D amplification works in tandem with the sophisticated onboard DSP, which manages crossovers, filtering and equalisation to deliver consistent performance across the subwoofers’ frequency and SPL ranges.
The bass ports have been developed using Finite Element Analysis to optimise their curvature, creating more consistent air speeds along their lengths. This minimises turbulence while allowing the Sub8 Pro and Sub10 Pro to achieve high sound pressure levels with clean, controlled low-frequency output.
Both models can be managed and calibrated over Ethernet via Adam Control – Adam Audio’s management and calibration software that is also newly launched. The successor to A Control, the free of charge software facilitates the precise adjustment of equalization, gain, phase, and delay settings across stereo and multichannel Sub Pro and A Series systems.
Both models also feature the same innovation as found on the company’s A Series studio monitors. Via Adam Control, advanced filters created in SoundID Reference by Sonarworks can be deployed directly to the DSP platform embedded on the devices.
Adam Control offers two calibration possibilities for stereo and multichannel systems: manually in the software at no additional cost, or the more automated approach offered by SoundID Reference..
For digital studio environments, the Sub8 Pro and Sub10 Pro include AES3 connectivity for audio at up to 96kHz, 24-bit resolution. An XLR/TRS combination socket is included for analogue audio. For immersive workflows, LFE Mode provides a cut-off tailored to Dolby Atmos systems, while Wide Mode allows the subwoofer to operate across its full available range. A convenient bypass input is also included for toggling bass management with a footswitch.
The new models feature solid wooden cabinets, protective metal grilles and a distinctive speckled bass-port finish, with matching curvature across the enclosure. Both subwoofers include a two-year warranty as standard, extending to five years upon product registration.
Key performance specs include 26-300Hz -6 dB frequency response and max SPL in full space at 1 m with sine bursts @ 3% THD: 105 dB for the Sub8 Pro, and 21-300 Hz @ -6 dB and max SPL in full space at 1 m with sine bursts @ 3% THD: 106dB for the Sub10 Pro.
