Adam Audio has announced two new subwoofers, the
Sub24 and
Sub20. These new monitors expand the current
line of Adam subwoofers to include dual-driver, dual-port designs with higher power handling for larger
critical listening environments.
Dave Bryce of Adam Audio USA told us, "As is the aim of all Adam designs, these new subs give you tight, clean, and accurate representation with the
ability to tune them to your environment. And if you feel the need, they
can loosen your fillings with their size and power!"
The
Sub24 is designed to reproduce LFE or other low frequency signals down to 19 Hz in medium sized or larger
control rooms. It is equipped with two long throw 12� drivers that are mounted at the opposite sides of the cabinet.
Adam say that the opposite and symmetrical alignment of forces applied to the cabinet provides much quieter performance than
conventional arrays. Distortion is drastically reduced and the clarity of the signal is improved, especially at higher
gain levels.
There are two down-firing bass reflex tubes that successfully avoid ventilation noise due to their size
and construction. Each woofer has its own amplifier, each capable of delivering 200 Watts continuous/300 Watts
peak power to their corresponding drivers. The amplifier’s Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology provides
extremely high efficiency and cool operation, say Adam, in even the most critical levels of performance. Controls include a
phase ± 180° switch, level control from -60 dB to +6 dB and a switchable 85 Hz high pass filter for the satellite
output.
The
Sub20 applies all of the same design goals of the Sub24 in a more compact cabinet housing two 10� drivers, that Adam say is
ideal for medium size listening environments.
