Compact 8.5-inch Studio Subwoofer

The Adam Audio Sub8 is a powered subwoofer built for nearfield monitoring in rooms up to 20 square metres. It extends low-frequency response down to 30 Hz using an 8.5-inch woofer driven by a 160 W ICE amplifier. Motorised front-panel knobs and a wireless remote adjust input level and crossover frequency.

Upgrade Path from Basic Monitoring

The Sub8 replaces reliance on nearfield monitors alone for low-end accuracy, adding dedicated sub-bass extension for critical mixing. The jump is worth it when your current speakers cannot reproduce frequencies below their natural roll-off and you need reliable 30 Hz monitoring for production decisions.

Room and System Compatibility

Verify your room dimensions suit the 20 square metre design target for optimal bass response. Confirm your nearfield monitors provide compatible crossover outputs or line-level inputs for integration. Ensure you have mains power available for the internal 160 W amplifier and space for the front-firing driver placement.
