Outstanding, Affordable 10" Sub from ADAM

Designed to extend the bass response of the T Series, ADAM Audio’s affordable line of professional 2-way active studio monitors, the T10S Powered Studio Subwoofer delivers a max SPL of ≥104dB and rock-solid bottom end down to 28Hz (-6dB). Powerful yet compact, the T10S is driven by a beefy onboard 130-watt Class D amplifier. The T10S is fitted with a polarity invert switch and an internal crossover with three settings (80Hz, 120Hz, or Bypass), making it easy to integrate the sub with your mains and optimize for room acoustic and overall system performance in your room. ADAM Audio specifically developed the T10S to complement their T5V and T7V nearfield monitors, however, it also provides outstanding results when used with other compact satellite speakers.

ADAM Audio: elevating the state of the art

From its 1999 launch in Berlin, ADAM Audio has built a solid reputation among the pro audio cognoscente. Sweetwater knows that a superior speaker system has superior components, and this is one area where the company has a distinct edge. With years of R&D behind each proprietary driver, ADAM Audio's custom driver technology expresses itself in breakthroughs such as their X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeter, which is based on a groundbreaking 1960s invention, the Heil Air Motion Transformer — and in fact, was the main impetus for the formation of ADAM Audio. The X-ART tweeter became the key to ADAM's signature transparent, high-definition sound; and the core development of ADAM’s proprietary designs going forward.

Embracing, exploiting, and working with modern materials has allowed ADAM Audio to formulate loudspeaker components that continually elevate the state of the art in studio monitor design. Materials such as rare-earth magnets and high-strength diaphragm foils have increased reliability, enhanced performance, and made possible new driver geometry. As compared with conventional driver technology, Adam drivers deliver optimized radiation characteristics, lower distortion, and higher efficiency. Along with installations in a growing number of top studios, ADAM Audio's monitor range has garnered rave reviews from audio experts and recording engineers worldwide. If you're considering an upgrade to world-class monitoring, you'll be in good company with ADAM Audio monitors.

Perfectly compliments the A7X

I've had a pair of A7X for a couple years now, and needed a sub that provided detail below the sharp 87hz cutoff of the A7X. This sub did not disappoint at all. Huge sound from a smaller driver.

Was super easy to integrate a footswitch for on/off applications.

As mentioned by other commenters, this sub does have a standby mode that keeps it off when not in use. Takes a couple seconds for it to fire up when you haven't used it in 15 minutes, but it is a very minor issue. If you are like me, and use a monitor control station, the signal from your interface keeps the sub awake even if you've got it muted.

Overall, great sound quality, usual high standards for Adam build quality, for a good price point. Would recommend this to anyone.

Great (except for one nitpicky little thing). Buy it anyway!

I purchased this because I work on producing trailer soundtracks for indie movies for my production company. My mains are ADAM T7Vs, while my main "gear" includes PreSonus Sphere, Native Instruments Komplete 14 Collectors, NI S88 MK2, NI M32, Maschine+, and a Yamaha PSR-SX900. My challenge with the TV7s was the low end wasn't quite enough to keep up with trailers, particularly Sci-Fi and Crime Dramas. This fit the bill, and is working great.

I went with the recommended speaker placement, and it's been great. Except...

Except for one little thing that has been mentioned here before. It takes a healthy signal level to keep the sub "awake". This is fine most of the time, but when getting creative later at night after my spouse is asleep (not mixing - just "dreaming"), I keep the levels pretty low, not a lot of bass, and the sub kicks off, which also kicks off the TV7s. Only thing I can do is reboot the Focusrite (likely a different issue) and crank it up for a second, but since this is my "creative" period, it is an interruption.

Not a show stopper, and I won't be returning it, but would love to see them set the threshold lower.

And shout out to Melissa at Sweetwater for nearly all the gear you see that isn't Dell.

Knock knock

This thing hits HARD.

No Brainer...great purchase

This was a no brainer addition to my original purchase of a pair of T8V's...My home...Studio Apt is now very much a true session studio. Fresh into the purchase of my monitoring system so I can't commit to 5 stars. However,,,,bang for the buck combined with my T8V's it certainly is...

I've attached a recording of a video playback of a Post popular Malone tune...recorded with my iPhone 12 Pro...no added inputs...no processing

I've recorded many video's with my IPhone and love the quality for streaming or quick concept presentation.

Never have I been able to say the the acoustical representation was this clean...My Apt Studio set up obviously is an added bonus but at 1k investment I really no one can argue this wasn't a wise investment...2 years from now my Adam Audio purchases will easily earn (6+ stars)
