Active Studio Subwoofer
Focal - Sub 12
Focal's most highly articulate subwoofer to dateFor the producers and sound engineers searching for deep sub-bass, the search is over, the answer is here: Sub12. Made in France in Focal’s own workshops, this subwoofer delivers unmatched articulation, impact and depth. Thanks to its 13” (33cm) speaker driver with ‘W’-shaped cone and very high excursion, as well as its BASH amplifier with 600W RMS and 1000W peak-to-peak power, the sound reproduction is more impactful and faithful than ever.
Furthermore, there are optimised braces and a front vent inspired by Focal’s Trio11 monitors, as well as internal and external vents to reduce noise and distortion. At the back, a full set of bass controls can be used to perfectly adjust the settings for any system – low-pass, high-pass and variable phases – making Sub12 a truly remarkable professional tool.

Precision Control
COMPOSITE ‘W’ SANDWICH CONEEach driver has its own dedicated amplifier. The 50W A/B amp is responsible for the X-ART tweeter, whilst the midwoofer is being powered by a 100W PWM amp.
The front panel has a power switch and a control for the volume that maintains the volume setting independently from the on/off switch. On the back panel you’ll find extra controls: gain for the high frequencies (± 4dB) and two shelf filters for high and low frequencies.
