ADAM Audio Sub10 MK2 Active Studio Subwoofer, 10-Inch, Wireless Remote

ADAM Audio Sub10 MK2: Remote-Controlled Sub-Bass to 25 Hz

The ADAM Audio Sub10 MK2 is an active studio subwoofer built around a 10-inch long-throw woofer in a down-firing bass-reflex enclosure, driven by a 200 W RMS Class D amplifier for clean extension to 25 Hz. Its defining feature is a set of motorized level and crossover controls operated from an included wireless remote, so you tune the sub from the mix position rather than reaching behind it. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA I/O with satellite loop-through drop it into a 2.1 monitoring chain in minutes. For engineers who want deep, controllable low end without leaving the sweet spot, the Sub10 MK2 is purpose-built.

10-Inch Long-Throw Woofer and Bass-Reflex Design

The Sub10 MK2 uses a 10-inch long-throw woofer mounted in a down-firing, bass-reflex (ported) enclosure that extends response to 25 Hz. A bass-reflex port tunes the cabinet so the air mass in the port reinforces the driver's output at the low end, adding usable extension and efficiency compared with a sealed box of the same size. The down-firing orientation couples that output to the floor for even, room-filling bass. A 10-inch driver is ideally matched to nearfield and small-to-medium midfield monitors, extending their low end without overwhelming a modest room.

200-Watt Class D Amplification

A 200 W RMS (300 W music power) PWM Class D amplifier drives the Sub10 MK2 to up to 113 dB SPL at 1 meter with over 90 percent efficiency. Class D (PWM) amplification runs cool and delivers high power in a compact chassis, so the sub produces authoritative low end without the heat and bulk of a linear amp. That efficiency also means the driver stays in firm control at high levels, keeping bass tight rather than boomy. The amplifier has ample headroom to reproduce sub-bass transients cleanly under a full mix.

Motorized Controls and Wireless Remote

The Sub10 MK2's motorized input-level and crossover knobs, adjustable from an included wireless remote, are the key upgrade over the original. Because the controls are motorized, you can set level, crossover frequency, phase and stereo bypass from the listening position and the physical knobs move to match, so your settings stay visible and repeatable. That matters because subwoofer integration is all about small, iterative adjustments made while listening, which a rear-panel-only control makes clumsy. Being able to A/B the sub's contribution instantly from the chair speeds up accurate bass management.

Flexible I/O and 2.1 Integration

The Sub10 MK2 provides balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs, with satellite loop-through to feed high-passed signal onward to the main monitors. In a 2.1 setup the sub takes the full-range signal, reproduces the lows itself and passes the rest to the mains, so each speaker only handles the band it does best. That bass-management approach cleans up the mains' midbass and lets the whole system play louder with less distortion. Phase adjustment ensures the sub and mains sum correctly through the crossover region for tight, seamless low end.

Who the Sub10 MK2 Is For

The Sub10 MK2 is built for adding sub-bass to nearfield and midfield monitors, 2.1 monitoring and bass management in small-to-medium control rooms for music production and post. Its 10-inch driver and 25 Hz extension suit rooms where a larger sub would overload the space but a smaller one would run out of depth. The motorized, remote-controlled workflow makes it especially attractive to engineers who integrate and re-integrate their sub often. Anyone matching a nearfield pair who wants precise, chair-side control over their low end will feel at home with it.
