A Top-tier Sub for Your Studio

Ultra-precise monitoring is a crucial part of pro-level audio production. Focal's Sub12 offers exactly that. This powered studio subwoofer delivers unprecedented definition, unrivaled dynamics, and 600 watts of room-shaking sub-bass — everything you need to get inside your mix's low end. Sub12 is loaded with Focal's vaunted composite sandwich "W" cone, plus a large laminar port for distortion-free low-frequency reproduction. Sub12 features an automatic, defeatable standby mode, plus a convenient carry handle. If you demand top-of-the-line monitoring for your mix room, then Focal's Sub12 is an excellent, high-quality solution.

"W" composite sandwich cone and large laminar port

Sub12 takes advantage of Focal's "W" composite sandwich cone. The unique characteristics of the cone permits optimization of the frequency response curve, thanks to the total control of three key parameters: lightness, rigidity, and damping. Sub12 also employs a large laminar port, which is completely devoid of unwanted port noises and distortion. Here at Sweetwater, we've found that Sub12 sounds amazingly dynamic, has an excellent definition, and has an extremely low distortion rate.

Focal Sub12 13-inch Powered Studio Subwoofer Features:

  • Delivers 600W RMS of room-shaking sub-bass
  • "W" composite sandwich cone permits optimization of the frequency response curve
  • Large laminar port is completely devoid of unwanted port noises and distortion
  • Energy-saving automatic, defeatable standby mode

Reviews

Beautiful!
There is a whole other world down there this sub shows. I had a "prosumer" sub before this that was cool in that it added lows to my mains, but the SUB12 reveals so much more. It's not just about rattling the room. I use the onboard crossover to take any low end burden away from my Focal Solo6BE mains and the two blend together seamlessly. It feels as if there is no bottom to how low this goes. It is expensive, but I feel it made my monitoring system step into the professional zone. I've had it so far for two weeks and I'm still impressed every time I listen.
