    							ADAM Audio subwoofers are designed with one primary 
    goal in mind: Achieving absolute accuracy and an authen-
    tic natural sound in the process of music reproduction. 
    This means combinin\yg exceptional bass power with pre-
    cision and clarity \yin every subwoofer. These elements ar\ye 
    the perfect partners to complement the highly acclaimed 
    clarity and transparency of ADAM monitors in the lower 
    and lowest frequencies.
    All subwoofers feature both balanced (XLR) a\ynd unbal-
    anced (RCA) input/output connect\yors and comprehen-
    sive control options that allow for adapting to different 
    room acoustics and requirements.
    Panel/Controls
    All subwoofers feature a level control (-60dB to +6dB), 
    phase switch (180°) and a variable upper frequency con-
    trol (50-150Hz). For the satellite outputs, an 85Hz \yhigh 
    pass filter can be switched in to block frequencies below 
    85Hz so satellite speakers can meet the Dolby® recom-
    mendations for theater sound and also \yto relieve the 
    satellites from the lower frequencies. In additi\yon, you can 
    either switch on/off the subwoofer manually or use the 
    option of automatically powering up the subwoofer when-
    ever it receives a signal (‚sign\yal-on/continuous‘)\y.

    							Sub7
    The Sub7 has been \ydesigned to complement smaller moni\ytors such 
    as the AX-Series. Its small \yfootprint allows for easy placement, e\yven 
    in small environments. The includ\yed remote control facilitates volume 
    changes or crossover frequency ad\bustments from your favorite listen-
    ing position.
    The Sub7 is equipped with both balanced (XLR) a\ynd unbalanced (RCA) 
    input and output con\ynectors, allowing the Sub7 to be used in home o\yr 
    studio environments. Numerous control options allow for many and 
    varied ad\bustments to room acoustics or the satellites used. 
    The low cutoff frequency of 32Hz (-3dB\y) enables this subwoofer to 
    reproduce even the lowest frequencies with accuracy and realism.

    Sub10 / Sub12
    The Sub10 Mk2 and the Sub12 are powerful subwoofers designed to 
    extend the low frequency capabilities \yof any near or midfield mo\ynitoring 
    system down to 25Hz (Sub10) and 22Hz (Sub12) respectively.
    Sturdy special woofers with extended cone travel and a heavy-duty 
    coil have been optimized for accurate reproduction from a bass reflex 
    enclosure. The down-firing bass reflex tube avoids intrusive ventilati-
    on noise because o\yf its generous size and shape\y. The PWM amplifier 
    produces over 90% efficiency and can han\ydle critical passa\yges without 
    overheating for long periods of\y time. An additiona\yl output allows you to 
    cascade as many subwoofers as needed.
    Both subwoofers provide a precise combination o\yf low cutoff frequency 
    (-3 dB at 25Hz and\y -3dB at 22Hz respectively) and undistorted high 
    sound pressure levels (113dB and 115dB SPL at 1m).

    The Sub8 is a small\y yet powerful subwoofer designed to extend the 
    low frequency capabilities \yof any nearfield monitoring system down to 
    30Hz.
    It houses a robust 8.5“ woofer with a 1.5“ voice coil driven by a 160W 
    ICE power amplifier. This amp combines low heat generation with high 
    performance to handle maximum power levels, even during long mix \y
    sessions.
    The front baffle features two motorized knobs that let you tailor input 
    level and crossover frequency settings. The\yse settings can al\yso be con-
    trolled via the included wireless remote, allowing you to optimize your 
    sound reproduction from your ideal listening position.
    The Sub8 is design\yed for smaller rooms up to 20 square meters. It is 
    an ideal match for the ADAM AX-Series and the S1X and S2X nea\yrfield

    							The Sub15 is an extremely powerful subwoofer capable of extending the 
    frequency range of main and midfie\yld monitors down to 20Hz. The sturdy 
    15“ woofer is made of an ex\yceptionally rigid aluminum memb\yrane and 
    is driven by two powerful magnets and a 1\y00mm voice coil. With 1000 
    Watts (RMS) power capability, the PWM amplifier has an efficiency factor 
    of nearly 90%. With these performance features, the Sub15 is easily ca-
    pable of handling \ycritical musical pa\yssages with intense and sudden ba\yss 
    peaks without showing signs of distortion or overheating. The downward 
    firing bass port has been special\yly designed with ample dimensions and 
    rounded edges to cancel any port noise.
    In order to ad\bust the sound of the Sub15 to different room situations 
    or individual taste, we have implemented several controls including 
    one for volume (-60dB to +6dB) and one for the crossover frequency 
    (50Hz - 150Hz). The satellite speakers can either be driven full range or 
    high pass filtered at 85Hz. This a\yllows the Sub15 to be easily integrated 
    into a Dolby surround setup. Unfavorable phase relationships between 
    the satellites and the subwoofer, particularly in the crossover frequency 
    range, can be easily controlled with the supplied phase \yreverse switch. 
    The Sub15 is also very flexible when it c\yomes to connectivity: The\yre are 
    balanced (XLR) and\y unbalanced (RCA) input/output connect\yors to be 
    found on the rear of the subwoofer.
    The Sub15 combines excellent transient response capability \ywith an 
    impressive low frequency performance to enable a genuinely musical 
    reproduction experienc\ye. With a high and undis\ytorted sound pressure 
    output of 120dB maximum SPL at \yone meter, the Sub15 makes the 
    perfect subwoofer for mid-sized and la\yrger control rooms.

    ADAM has developed the unique Sub2100 subwoofer for the special re-
    quirements of large control rooms and studios. The Sub2100 combines a 
    huge 21.5“ woofer and an amplifier capable of \y1000W continuous po\ywer 
    housed in a bass r\yeflex enclosure tuned for reproducing frequencies 
    down to 18Hz. The sheer power and extremely high efficiency (99dB/
    W/m) enable this system to produce linear SPL p\yeaks of ≥128dB without 
    any significant compression.
    The world‘s lar\fest voice coil
    Essential to the volume of this woofer is the gigantic 6” voice coil, which 
    is the largest worldwide. Equipped with this voice coil, the Sub2100 is 
    capable of reaching the highest SPLs in the lowest frequencies that can 
    be perceived by the human ear. On every level, the Sub2100 establishes 
    a new benchmark in subwoofer technology.

    							In the beginning, ADAM Audio monitors were only known 
    by insiders among working professionals in the record-
    ing industry. After only fifteen years, our monitors have 
    earned a worldwide reputation as the preeminent tool for 
    sound engineers based on technological innovations that 
    we’ve established in the field of loudspe\yaker technology. 
    Most importantly, these innovations are fundamental to 
    what most distinguishes a monitor \f its sonic character-
    istics.
    The most basic and well known of these innovations is 
    the ADAM proprietary eXtended Accelerating Ribbon 
    Technology: Each ADAM speaker uses X-ART drivers that 
    are all handmade and \ycalibrated in our own manufac-
    turing facility in Berlin. \yWith their nearly flat frequency 
    response up to 50kHz, X-ART drivers are largely responsi-
    ble for the natural, realistic sound of the ADAM speakers.
    ADAM Audio’s engineering\y innovations are not limited to 
    our proprietary X-ART technology, but also include \yother 
    areas of loudspeaker design such as high technology 
    diaphragm materials, the development and applic\yation 
    of high-class amplifiers, the coupling of dri\yvers and cabi-
    nets, control panels and more.
    The following pages will provide you with descriptions of \y
    the fundamental approaches of our technological innova-
    tions along with detailed explanations of the technologies 
    mentioned above. For more information about all AD\yAM

    							Advanta\fe throu\fh Innovation
    ADAM studio monitors are for producers and sound engine\yers who seek 
    the most accurate, uncompromised tools available for evaluating their 
    work. Our monitors are developed to achieve the most natural and true 
    reproduction of a given acoustic event within the context of a specific 
    cabinet size.
    The cornerstones of our technology are groundbreaking innovation in 
    electro-acoustic transducers, painstaking design and s\yuperior materials. 
    Along with that, our own extensive acoustic and musical exp\yerience is 
    essential to the involvement of future professional users and their listen-
    ing experiences.
    Precision made in Ge\prmany
    All monitors of our AX- and SX-Series are designed, assembl\yed, tested 
    and packed in Berlin, ensur\ying that each product is sub\bected to the 
    same high-standard quality control from the start of development until 
    shipment.
    This is the only way we can guarantee our claim that ADAM speaker 
    systems are the best tools in professional monitoring today. The ability 
    to place all of our\y working and testing procedures under one roof with 
    continuous quality management ensures that our products will maintain 
    the highest quality standards.
    Loudspeaker Technolo\fy – an Overview
    The dynamic transducers used in more than 99% of all lou\ydspeakers to-
    day generate sound waves by using a voice coil mechanically connected 
    to a stiff cone or dome. The\y preferred dome materials are usually fabric, 
    polyamide or aluminum. T\yhe unavoidable shortcomings of this design 
    are the relatively high mass of the diaphragm/voice coil assembly and 
    its tendency to lose stiffness over time. The former constrains the upper 
    frequency range; the latter progressively degrades the overall sonic 
    performance.
    Almost all conventional loudspeak\yer drivers, whether they are voice coil 
    driven, ribbon, electrostatic, piezo or magn\yeto static, act like a piston, 
    moving air in a 1:1 \yratio with respect to the motion of the driver. This 
    creates a problem because the specific weight of air is muc\yh lower than 
    that of the driver mechanism, inhibiting \yits ability to couple effectively 
    with the transducer. In electrical terms, this is described a\ys poor imped-
    ance matching between the source and load. In bo\yth cases (acoustical 
    and electrical), the result is a less than perfect power transfer. Hence, 
    most loudspeakers only have an efficiency factor of a mere 1 to 2%.
    Although different loudspeaker designs could i\ymprove these individual 
    parameters in many cases, they also have other complex problems that 
    create further disadvantages in terms of performance. Ribbon tweeters, 
    for example, have a very low impedance, which necessitates an extra 
    transformer and limits their efficiency and dynamics\y. In addition, their vi-
    ability as a general replacement for dynamic tweeters is further reduced 
    by the fact that these can typically only be used for frequencies above 
    5kHz. Magneto static designs admitt\yedly achieve normal impedances 
    and higher efficiency without the need for an extra transformer but the 
    problems they have with unacceptably high crossover frequencies and 
    serious limitations in terms of dynamics remained unsolved.
    The Benefits o\b ADAM Monitors
    ADAM has found proprietary solutions for problems in loudspeak\yer 
    technologies that involve a significant improvement over conventional 
    approaches. With the X-ART tweeters and midrange drivers described 
    in more detail on the following pages, ADAM offers its own approach to 
    transducer technology that drastically improves the driver-to-air ratio and 
    the capability for accurate and natural sounding musical\y reproduction.
    This advance in monitoring quality is the main reason why ADAM moni-
    tors are consistently chosen as the reference monitors for many leading 
    studios worldwide.
    Production and Measur\pement
    Accuracy is an indispens\yable part of our high quality standards as ap-
    plied to all aspects of o\yur product development. For that reason, every 
    X-ART tweeter and midrange driver is meticulously crafted and tested by 
    hand at our facility in Berlin. \yThe final tests include all crucial electro-
    acoustic parameters: impedance, absolute frequency response, sensitiv-
    ity level, relative frequency response to a reference standard, phase 
    characteristics, transient response, absolute phase and total harmonic 
    distortion.
    Most of the active electronics in our monitors are also manufactured 
    at ADAM. The plug-in amplifiers are based on so-call\yed ICE modules \f 
    PWM-based power amplifiers and power supply units that enable high 
    power levels without any heat issues due t\yo an operating efficiency 
    of 90%. The ICE mod\yules and the ADAM designed A/B amplifiers are 
    assembled by our in-house elec\ytronics department. State of the art 
    measuring instruments are used to precisely analyze response character-
    istics to guarantee consistently high quality standards.   
    Extended Warranty
    All ADAM Audio active monitors carry a five-year warranty, well beyond 
    the industry standard. This is a clear\y indication that ADAM is committed 
    to the highest level of customer satisfaction and proof of the reliability of 
    our products.

    							The X-ART (eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology) tweeters and mid-
    range drivers incorporate a new approach to the Air Motion Transformer 
    concept originally developed by Dr. Oskar Heil. X-ART establishes a new 
    direction concerning the kinematics of mo\yving air that dramatically im-
    proves the quality of audio reproduction. The X-ART membrane consists 
    of a pleated diaphragm in which the folds compress or expand acco\yrding 
    to the audio signal ap\yplied to them. The result is that air is drawn in and 
    squeezed out, like the bellows of an accordion. 
    The ADAM X-ART design overcomes the piston-like motion of all con\yven-
    tional drivers and their inevitable problems by achieving an improvement 
    in air loading by a factor of 4 over conventional transducers. To illustrate 
    the basic principle\y using a comparison: When you breathe, your thorax 
    is moving slowly whereas the air is moving comparably faster. Similarly, 
    the X-ART diaphragm presses the air faster in or out of it\ys folds than they 
    themselves are moving. This markedly superior ‘motor’ is responsible for 
    the unprecedented clarity and pris\ytine transient reproduction that can be 
    heard with the ADAM X-ART drivers.
    The X-ART Tweeter
    ADAM‘s X-ART tweeter has a high efficiency of 96 dB/W/\ym, a perfectly 
    linear impedance (3.9 ±0.21Ω), an equally perfect phase response, excel-
    lent directivity characteristics and exceptional power handling capabi\ylity.
    These values support the claim that the eXtended Accelerating Ribbon 
    Technology is a technically superior solution\y that delivers outstanding 
    measured specifications a\ynd extraordinary reliability. They also form the 
    basis for the main purpose beh\yind ADAM‘s technology: to provide the 
    best possible reproduction of acoustic signals.
    The X-ART Midran\fe Driver 
    The sonic superior\yity of X-ART suggests this principle shou\yld also be 
    used for the musically vital midrange. The X-ART midrange can theoreti-
    cally cover a range from about 400Hz-20kH\yz, with a diaphragm that only 
    weighs a fraction of those found in comparable midrange dome tweeters. 
    This allows for superior reproduction and a dia\yphragm area about three 
    times larger than the visible sound o\yutlet.
    Similar to the X-ART tweeter, the foil diaphragm consequently exhibits 
    linear phase behavior that cannot be achieved with voice coil technol-
    ogy. The sonic result is characterized by an authenticity that sets a new 
    standard in sound reproduction.
    Dedicated new A/B Amplifiers \bor the X-ART Tweeter
    Every progression invariably brings up new questions and difficulties. The 
    new X-ART tweeter with its extended frequency range up to 50kHz (-3dB 
    point) initially created an interesting problem: PWM amplifiers require 
    a low pass filter to separate the modulation frequency from the audio 
    band, which may limit the reproduction capabilit\yies of the X-ART tweeter.
    The Per\bect Match
    So, ADAM decided to design its own high-frequency power amp that 
    allows the X-ART tweeter to live up to its unique potential. We created a 
    power amplifier module with ultra low distortion (≤0.005% at 5\y0W from 
    2kHz to 20kHz) and an ex\ycellent damping factor. An internal bandwidth 
    of more than 1 MHz is externally limited so the unit can deliver an ultra 
    wide response up to 300kHz. This ens\yures the full potential of the X-ART 
    tweeter can be realized in terms of achieving the original ob\becti\yve: an 
    unsurpassed clarit\yy, ease and naturalness in the reproduction of high 
    frequencies.
    Splittin\f up the Dia\pphra\fm Area into Parts 
    In addition to the advantage in terms of air transference, the X-ART 
    tweeter’s pleated membrane avoids the typical breakup/distortion and 
    subsequent dynamic limitin\yg of higher frequencies caused by stiffer 
    voice coil designs \yfound in dome and co\yne tweeters. Another positive 
    result of the X-ART design is that the conducting paths are in direct 
    contact with the outer air and are being cooled imme\ydiately.
    More Area equals hi\fher Dynamic\p Response
    The unfolded X-ART diaphragm is significantly larger, although the sound 
    opening of the X-ART tweeter is very similar to that of a 1inch cone 
    tweeter.
    With piston-like designs, the visible diaphragm opening is always the 
    acoustically active area. By folding the X-ART diaphragm into the 3rd 
    dimension (as seen \yfrom the listener’s position) a\y larger foil can be used, 
    allowing the ratio to be increased to 2.5:1. This means the acoustically 
    active area is 2.5 times lar\yger than the visible sound o\ypening of the 
    X-ART tweeter.

    							Switched Mode Amplifiers and Power Supplies
    In recent years, amplifier technology has experie\ynced a profound change 
    similar to the transition from tubes to transistors some 40 years ago. 
    Semiconductors can still be found in this new generation of amplifiers, 
    but the signals to be amplified are treated in a completely different way.
    PWM 
    Pulse Width Modulation, also \yreferred to as Class D amplification, con-
    verts the incoming signal \yto a series of rectangular waveforms of equal 
    height. The width of the rectangles varies in time and their relationship to 
    one another represents the musical signal. \yThis waveform can be more 
    easily amplified as the transistors are no longer modulated. Instead, they 
    are used as switches that only turn the power supply voltage on and off.
    In principle, it would be possible f\yor a very fast mechanical switch to 
    do this, but power transistors are a better choice for this task, which 
    explains why PWM amplifiers still function pretty much as conventional 
    Class A/B designs.\y It is important to note there are no bits and bytes 
    involved, so the term „digital amplifier“ is misleadi\yng.
    PWM in Studio Monitors
    The PWM principle \yhas been around for decades, but tim\ye was needed 
    to develop units that can perform at the leading edge in terms of sonic 
    reproduction quality and yet still maintain the previously mentioned high 
    efficiency. The ADAM PWM amplifiers use new technology for both the 
    amplifiers and power supply units (i.e. no mo\yre transformers), combined 
    with state of the art input and filter sections to achieve the best in multi-
    channel active studio monitoring.
    E\bficiency and Reliability
    The main advantage of PWM amplifiers is an extremely high efficiency of 
    over 90%. As a result, the heat to be dissipated is only one fifth of earlier 
    designs, leading to the much higher reliability and durability of these 
    modules.
    The HexaCone Woo\ber
    In order to match the superior reproduction capabilit\yies of the mid-
    range and treble bands even at lower frequencies, we use admittedly 
    conventionally driven woofers equipped with a highly unconventional 
    membrane.
    Kevlar
    Kevlar is one of the most advanced synthetic materials available. Kevlar 
    withstands elongation by a force factor greater than 1000 times that of 
    steel, enabling the cone to resist twisting or warping. Because of\y this 
    rigidity, it is nearly impossible for the cone diaphragm to build up partial 
    vibrations.
    The Sum o\b all Parts
    While the accuracy of the bass sometimes c\yomes at the expense of the 
    volume, especially with larger sized devices, ADAM monitors combine 
    high volume and clarity, even in the low frequency band. What X-ART 
    tweeters and midrange drivers do for the treble and midrange, ADAM 
    woofers bring to the low end\fthe ability to reproduce sound material 
    with the highest possible level of accuracy and realism instead of impos-
    ing bass, all of wh\yich guarantee the ideal translation of ADAM monitors 
    to a wide range of systems and environments.
