About this listing
The Focal Sub12 Studio Subwoofer delivers the deep extension, high output, and precise low-frequency control needed for demanding professional monitoring environments. Built around a massive 13-inch ultra-high-excursion “W” cone driver and a powerful 600-watt amplifier, the Sub12 reveals the weight and detail hiding at the bottom of a mix without turning the control room into a low-end guessing game. Designed for recording, mixing, mastering, and post-production studios, the Sub12 combines substantial bass output with the articulation required for critical decision-making. Focal’s rigid yet lightweight “W” sandwich cone helps maintain accuracy and low distortion, while the reinforced cabinet, optimized internal bracing, and flared front port reduce unwanted resonance and airflow noise. The result is bass that feels powerful while remaining controlled, transparent, and easy to evaluate. A comprehensive rear-panel control section makes the Focal Sub12 easy to integrate into a wide variety of studio monitoring systems. Adjustable subwoofer level, low-pass frequency, phase, polarity, and selectable high-pass filtering allow the system to be tailored to the room and connected monitors. Dedicated left, right, and LFE connections support stereo and multichannel workflows, while footswitch-controlled 2.1 bypass makes it easy to compare full-range monitoring with and without the subwoofer. Multiple Sub12 units can also be linked for simultaneous bypass control in larger installations.
