The Adam Audio T10S Subwoofer is a compact yet powerful active 10” subwoofer specially designed for the popular T-Series speakers. On board is a 130W Class-D amplifier with a frequency response ranging from 32Hz to 120Hz, while an adjustable low-pass filter allows the bass signal to be adapted to the monitors, thus enabling optimum reproduction of the overall system. Even though the Sub has been tuned to ADAM Audio's T5V and T7V nearfield monitors in terms of performance, features and connectivity, it still offers excellent results with other compact studio speakers.
The main features of the Adam Audio T10S Subwoofer include:
It's a relatively compact subwoofer with an excellent sound quality if you do not play it very loud.
The appearance and build quality are fine. The box does not give an impression of a very heavily built professional product. But it's good enough to do the job. I didn't find any shortcomings in build quality. The resonances of the box that you can hear while knocking it do not show up during operation in any way. I was specially pleased with the rubber feet that isolate the box from the floor.
Loud playback with long speaker cone excursion is out of the capabilities of this product. Distortion start to show up gradually when you play back a very loud signal and on low frequencies (40 Hz and below). You should not expect to feel the punch with your body and the whole room vibrating. It won't play that loud.
Additionally it can't go really lower than 30 Hz. It rolls off rapidly below that. It's just a 10" driver. But above 30Hz it has a very pleasing flat amplitude response with low distortion.
When used on moderate volume T10S shines! The sound quality is excellent!
