01
FEA-optimised bass port
The front-ported design uses a speckled finish and a port modelled with Finite Element Analysis, so the low end stays clean at high levels.

Overview
Adam Audio Sub 8 PRO Networked Active Subwoofer
The Sub 8 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.
Stereo, LFE and Wide modes serve conventional 2.1, immersive and full-range applications. A robust wooden cabinet and protective metal grille ensure durability.
Key Features
- 8” fibre-reinforced paper woofer, Class D amplifier
- Frequency response 26 – 300 Hz (-6 dB), 105 dB max SPL (RMS)
- ADAM Control over Ethernet: time alignment, 4-band parametric EQ, firmware updates
- Sonarworks SoundID Reference calibration profiles
- AES3 digital I/O plus balanced analog XLR / TRS
- Stereo, LFE and Wide operating modes
- FEA-optimised front bass port, wooden cabinet, metal grille
02
Metal grille over a high-excursion woofer
A solid metal grille protects the fibre-reinforced paper woofer without getting in the way of the sound.
03
A backplate full of control
Input, mode, level, phase and bass management sit on the backplate beside AES3 digital and balanced analog XLR / TRS connections and a bypass input.
04
A cabinet that stays quiet
The robust wooden cabinet dampens unwanted resonances, so what you hear is the driver and not the box.
Technology
ADAM Control Remote Software
The calibration and management platform for all networked ADAM Audio products: time alignment, four bands of parametric EQ and firmware updates over Ethernet.
Automated Room Correction with Sonarworks
Calibrate stereo and multichannel A Series and Sub PRO systems with SoundID Reference and a measurement microphone.
High-Performance Woofers
The heart of the Sub PRO line is a high-excursion, low-distortion woofer made from a fibre-reinforced paper material.
Digital Connectivity
AES3 is the professional standard for sending digital audio between interfaces, loudspeakers and subwoofers.
Powerful Amplification and DSP
A Class D amplifier drives the woofer efficiently at every listening level, backed by unfaltering DSP.
FEA-Optimised Bass Port
Finite Element Analysis modelled the airflow over the bass port for more output with less port noise.
Multichannel Ready
Alongside Sonarworks multichannel calibration, two operating modes (LFE and Wide) support immersive audio.
Robust Cabinet and Grille
Classic ADAM Audio design with a speckled bass-port finish and matching baffle curvature throughout.
