An Ideal Foundation

The Sub8 PRO combines advanced DSP technology with outstanding acoustic performance, making it an ideal foundation for compact monitoring systems. This networked subwoofer features a high-excursion 8” woofer, FEA-optimized bass port and powerful Class D amplifier.

An onboard Ethernet connection provides access to ADAM Control and its range of management and calibration tools. Users can manually time-align the subwoofer, apply four bands of parametric EQ and upload Sonarworks calibration profiles. Firmware updates can also be managed through the application, allowing future functionality to be added.

The Sub8 PRO offers Stereo, LFE, and Wide modes for conventional, immersive and full-range applications. Its robust wooden cabinet and protective metal grille ensure durability, with a 5-year warranty available upon product registration.

Fiber-reinforced, paper-based 8” Woofer

Total Peak Amp. Power: 200 W

Calibration options: ADAM Control, SoundID Reference by Sonarworks, Backplate

Frequency Response @ -6 dB: 26 - 300 Hz

Max. SPL at 1 m (Peak): 105 dB SPL
