ADAM Audio Sub 7 Pro Subwoofer

The ADAM Sub 7 is a compact, active subwoofer designed to be paired with ADAM A5 speakers, or other pairs of small studio reference monitors. The Sub 7 features an independent volume control, crossover frequency adjust and phase switch.

Here's what ADAM say about the Sub 7

Our subwoofers are dedicated to ADAM Audio's primary goal: the best possible authenticity in the reproduction of music. For our subwoofers, this means combining power and precision while simultaneously avoiding "impressive" bass volume at the cost of accuracy. Their task is it to complement the highly acclaimed lucidity and transparency of the ADAM monitors in the lower and lowest frequencies.

All subwoofers up to the Sub2100 feature both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) in and output connectors, and numerous controls to adapt to different room acoustics and requirements.

Panel/Controls

All subwoofers up to the Sub2100 feature a number of controls to adapt to different room acoustics and requirements.

All units have a level control that varies from -60dB to +6dB, a phase +/-180 degrees switch and variable upper frequency barrier control (50-150Hz), a switchable 85Hz high pass filter for the satellite output. In addition, there is a 'signal-on/continuous' switch. This provides the option of automatic power up whenever the subwoofer receives a signal and automatic power off after 15 minutes of no signal.

Sub7

The Sub7 has been designed to complement models such as in the A Series, or the older AX Series. Its small footprint allows for an easy placement even in small environments. The front panel features two motorized potentiometers that let you adapt the input level and crossover frequency settings for the best performance. These pots can also be controlled with an included wireless remote control, allowing you to optimize your sound reproduction from your ideal listening position.

Connectors and controls

The Sub7 is equipped with both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA or Cinch) in and output connectors and numerous controls. A 0 degrees/180 degrees phase switch and a switchable 85Hz highpass filter allows you to find the best settings for an ideal sound and performance.

Combining depth and precision

The low cut off frequency of 32Hz (-3dB point) enables this subwoofer to reproduce register of even this range in a highly authentic manner.
