Focal Sub12 13-Inch Active Studio Subwoofer (Ex-Demo)

The Focal Sub12 is a professional active studio subwoofer designed to deliver deep, articulate sub-bass for critical listening environments. Manufactured in France, it incorporates high-end acoustic engineering to provide accurate low-frequency extension essential for music production, mixing, and mastering. Its purpose is to extend the bass response of a studio monitor system, allowing producers and engineers to hear and make decisions on the lowest frequencies in their audio work. The subwoofer is built around a substantial 13-inch (33cm) driver featuring Focal's distinctive 'W'-shaped cone design, which combines rigidity with low mass for precise control and high excursion. This is powered by a robust BASH amplifier delivering 600W RMS (1000W peak-to-peak), ensuring impactful and faithful sound reproduction down to 28Hz. The cabinet design includes optimised internal bracing and a front-firing vent port, inspired by Focal's flagship monitors, to minimise noise and distortion. Comprehensive rear-panel controls allow for detailed system integration, including adjustable low-pass and high-pass filters (24dB/octave), phase adjustment, polarity selection, and sensitivity settings. This unit is best suited for professional recording studios, project studios, and serious audio engineers who require a transparent and powerful low-end reference. Its extensive calibration options make it adaptable to various satellite monitor setups and room acoustics. The solid construction with dark red veneer side panels and substantial 58kg weight ensures stability and reduces unwanted resonance, making it a reliable long-term investment for accurate audio monitoring.
