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). ADAM's familiar 'Stealth' contours adorn the front edges of the cabinet, and a small green LED above the ADAM Audio logo shows when the speaker is powered up. audio·phile: a person with love for, affinity towards or obsession with high-quality playback of sound and music. My biggest issue with that and this is why I'm rating it lower is that the standby feature is causing me endless frustration.

In terms of experience and valuable information when making music, the ADAM Audio T10S performs very well, a nice deep low and especially in combination with the T5V, T7V or the new T8V Studio monitor.For seamless A-B testing during your mix process, your can connect a latching footswitch to the T10S too.

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. We definitely recommend this, so that you know how it sounds without a subwoofer and you can quickly make the switch.

ADAM suggest having the front of the cabinet in line with the front of the main speakers, but in my experience it may be necessary to move the sub off-centre to provide the most even-sounding result.
