Adam Professional Audio Sub10 MK2 Overview

Audio engineers looking to fill out the low end response of any stereo or 5.1 surround monitoring system should check out the Adam Audio Sub10 MK2, a high-quality subwoofer well suited for professional and project studios. The Sub10 MK2 features a 200W RMS (300W peak) amplifier, which powers the 10" woofer. It offers both XLR and RCA I/O connectors for seamless integration into any system setup. The bandwidth of the Sub10 MK2 and the connected speakers may be adjusted separately, allowing it to be used with many different satellites.

Crossovers are made as musical as possible thanks to variable fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley filters. The incoming signal can be phased from zero to 180 degrees for a great degree of flexibility in placement of the subwoofer. Rear-panel gain and filter adjustment controls are provided. A down-firing bass reflex tube avoids breathing noise. Multiple units may be chained together if desired. The Adam Audio Sub10 MK2 ships with a power cord and four protective rubber foot plugs.

Adam Professional Audio Sub10 MK2 Reviews

Great Addition

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2019-10-08

This was a great addition to my system, joining a pair of S2V speakers. Brilliant sound at both moderate high volumes. This was an upgrade from my reliable ADAM A7X system which worked well for more than a decade. My only complaint was that two previous shipments of the MK2 Subwoofers came damaged. It seems they were repackaged with inferior boxes which could not properly safeguard the hefty speaker. Third time, on my instructions, they arrived in the factory shipping box and all was well.

Adam Sub10 MKII Review (Great Product)

By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2018-01-15

I bought a pair of Adam A7Xs last year to upgrade my old (made in the USA) Mackie HR824s. �I did a lot of research before buying them and I don't think there was anything close in terms of performance in their price range (you'd have to spend a lot more to get some Genelecs or Focals or, presumably, more expensive Adams). �At the time of the purchase I didn't have the funds for the sub and wasn't sure I needed one but I was very happy with A7Xs in my studio as my listening tests indicated. �Then I had an opportunity to buy a used KRK 10S and that convinced me that, yes, you do need a sub even if you're not doing rap, pop or LFE for film. �There is a lot of content below ~80Hz where even high quality satellites begin to roll off, especially with high bass content material. �I went on to set up a new studio last year. �It was a real challenge to get an acceptable frequency response and an acoustician recommended I ditch the KRK for a higher quality sub so this year I bought the Sub10 MKII. �Like the A7Xs, the product is just awesome. �The controls allows for a wide range of tunability and by tweaking the controls and placement I was able to significantly improve my room's frequency response (this was based on listening tests and room measurement and analysis software (RoomEQ Wizard)). �Now the graphs and my ears tell me a have relatively flat response to 30Hz, almost a full 45Hz lower than just with the satellites (technically the roll off started at 76Hz w/o and 32Hz with and is also much more gradual with the sub). �My room is very small so I don't have perfect frequency response which is a huge physics challenge but I'm at +/- 6dB from the calibration level of 85dB (THX recommended listening level) across the spectrum. �The other cool thing about the Sub10 MKII is that the frequency response is consistent when you increase and decrease the volume so it seems very well matched to the A7Xs. �This definitely wasn't the case with the KRK. �I'm not bagging on the KRK. �It is a fine product at its price point, but the Sub10 costs four times as much so obviously its going to be better. My Adam 2.1 system volume can go WAY higher than is comfortable so headroom is not a problem, at least not in my small room. The Adam legs and isolation feet help decouple it from the floor but I still have an Auralex SubDude (which is ok but I recommend the IsoAcoustics and plan to upgrade). The only thing I don't like about the Sub10 MKII is that it doesn't have a bypass switch to toggle it on/off so you can just hear the satellites full frequency without the sub. �I hope they add this feature to future models. �Meanwhile, my system sounds sweet, has great measurements and I feel I can mix on this for years without needing to upgrade.

I have a small studio/mix room (120 square feet/11 square meters). The room is acoustically treated, has a 5-foot X 6-foot ceiling cloud, and wall to wall carpet. I'm using Adam Audio A7X reference monitors. Would I be better suited using an Adam Sub 8 due to the smaller room size or the Sub10 to more closely match my A7X speakers?
Asked by: Doug
Due to the room size, it may be more suitable to opt for the Adam Professional Audio Sub8 - 240W 8.5" Active Subwoofer as opposed to the larger Adam Professional Audio Sub10 MK2 - 200W 10" Active Subwoofer.

Can this feed to my monitors? I don't have a sub ouput on my interface but want to add a subwoofer. What is the satellite output used for? Is that for my monitors that I want to daisy chain off of this sub??
Asked by: Ray
Yes. You would connect your interface outputs to the Sub Inputs then Satelite Out to your speakers,
