Adam Audio Sub10 PRO – Networked 10-Inch Studio Subwoofer

The Sub10 PRO is the larger model in ADAM Audio's networked Sub PRO line: a front-firing 10″ subwoofer with a 200 W Class D amplifier, onboard 96 kHz DSP and Ethernet control through ADAM Control, with direct deployment of Sonarworks SoundID Reference filters. It extends to 21 Hz (-6 dB), accepts analog or AES3 digital signal, and offers Stereo, LFE and Wide modes for 2.1, Dolby Atmos and full-range systems. At Soundium we recommend it for mid-sized control rooms and mixing spaces where an 8″ sub runs out of headroom and the lowest octave really matters.

Key Features

• High-excursion 10″ woofer: Fiber-reinforced paper cone with an elasticated rubber surround and 45 mm voice coil for deep, controlled bass
• 200 W RMS Class D (PWM) amplifier: 325 W peak, paired with 96 kHz DSP for crossovers, filtering and equalisation
• ADAM Control over Ethernet: Free software for gain, phase, delay (0 to 10 ms) and 4-band parametric EQ, plus firmware updates
• Sonarworks SoundID Reference integration: Calibration filters from SoundID Reference are deployed directly to the subwoofer's DSP, as on ADAM's A Series monitors
• Analog and digital inputs: 2× XLR/TRS combo inputs and XLR AES3 digital input up to 24-bit/96 kHz, with 2× XLR and AES3 outputs
• Stereo, LFE and Wide modes: Classic 2.1 bass management, an LFE mode (<120 Hz) tailored to Dolby Atmos, or the sub's full available range
• FEA-optimised front bass port: Curvature modelled with Finite Element Analysis for consistent air speed and clean output at high SPL
• Footswitch bypass input: Toggle bass management via a TRS footswitch (not included)

Customer Benefits

The Sub10 PRO gives you real extension into the 20 Hz region together with the means to make it behave in your room. Time-align it to your mains, tame room modes with parametric EQ or load a measured SoundID Reference profile, and manage stereo and multichannel systems from one app. Quick backplate controls for level, phase, crossover and input are still there when you just need to plug in and work.

Use Cases / Ideal For

Mixing and mastering rooms with A7V, A8H or S Series monitors, film and game audio studios that need a calibrated LFE channel, and Dolby Atmos rooms where one or more Sub PRO units are managed together over the network.

Compatibility

Connects to any active monitors via balanced XLR or TRS, or digitally via AES3. ADAM Control (macOS and Windows) manages Sub PRO and A Series devices on the same network, so stereo and multichannel systems can be calibrated together.

Pros & Cons

✅ Pros:

• Deep extension to 21 Hz (-6 dB)
• Network calibration with ADAM Control and SoundID Reference in the DSP
• AES3 digital I/O plus analog XLR/TRS
• LFE and Wide modes for immersive and full-range work

⚠️ Cons:

• At 22.8 kg and 45 cm deep it needs proper floor space
• No RCA or other unbalanced consumer inputs

The Adam Audio Sub10 PRO combines serious low-frequency reach with network calibration that keeps it honest in a real room. Build your 2.1 or immersive system around it with Soundium and hear what your mixes have been missing.
