SUB10

Technical specifications of the Focal SUB10 subwoofer and its advantages when purchasing

When you purchase the Focal SUB10 subwoofer, you're getting a product with an impressive rated power of 230 W RMS. This power is optimally tuned to deliver outstanding sound quality that will impress in any audio setup. With a maximum power of 460 W, the subwoofer ensures you experience clear and powerful bass even at higher volumes. The Masori Lowest Price Guarantee also ensures that you can always acquire this powerful piece of technology at the best possible price, making the SUB10 a worthwhile investment. Combining these performance figures with the advanced polypropylene cone and butyl surround, the SUB10 demonstrates its versatility—perfect for precise bass reproduction, whether in an urban environment or on the highway.

Nominal power 250 W RMS of the Focal SUB10 and its significance in the audio field

The Focal SUB10 features a rated power of 250 W RMS. This constant power output ensures that the subwoofer can handle high volumes for extended periods without sacrificing sound quality. This rated power is ideal for those seeking a reliable and powerful base module for their audio system. Compared to other subwoofers on the market, the SUB10 offers above-average performance in its class, giving it the ability to handle complex music and deep bass lines with ease. A lower RMS rating could lead to distortion at higher volumes, while a higher rating might be perceived as overpowering in smaller vehicles. At 250 W RMS, the SUB10 strikes the perfect balance.

Maximum power of 500 W and its influence on the sound of the Focal SUB10

The Focal SUB10's maximum power is an impressive 500W, giving the subwoofer the ability to handle peaks in audio without distortion. This feature is especially important for music genres that contain sudden bass bursts. For the listener, this means that the SUB10 subwoofer retains its detail and precision even at high sound pressure levels. While a higher value would theoretically offer more power, it could also result in overly emphasized bass reproduction, while a lower value may not provide the necessary power for dynamic music styles. The Focal SUB10 therefore offers an ideal tuning for various music genres and applications, ensuring you always get a balanced sound.

Sensitivity of 85 dB and the impact on the sound quality of the Focal SUB10

The Focal SUB10's sensitivity is excellent at 85 dB, meaning even weak amplifier signals are converted into audible, powerful sounds. This level of sensitivity ensures the subwoofer operates efficiently to achieve maximum volume with minimal energy consumption. Compared to the range of standard home speakers, the SUB10 strikes a fine balance between power and clarity, significantly enhancing audio enjoyment. A higher sensitivity value would allow for even louder reproduction but might sacrifice clarity, while a lower value might require more amplifier power to achieve the same volume level. With its 85 dB, the SUB10 delivers outstanding performance that meets the demands of demanding music genres.

Nominal impedance of 4 Ω of the Focal SUB10 subwoofer and its advantages

The Focal SUB10's 4 Ω nominal impedance is a key feature that allows for optimal power delivery through most car audio amplifiers. This impedance is well-matched to current car hi-fi industry standards and reduces signal transmission losses, which also enhances sound fidelity. A higher impedance value could potentially reduce the available power, whereas a lower value could overload the amplifier, potentially leading to overheating. Thus, a 4 Ω nominal impedance offers an ideal compromise between efficiency and sound quality.

Polypropylene cone and butyl surround of the Focal SUB10 and their influence on the sound

The Focal SUB10 subwoofer features a polypropylene cone, known for its lightness and rigidity, allowing for better control over bass reproduction. This construction results in a dynamic and precise sound, ideal for detailed music. Complemented by the butyl surround, which offers both robustness and flexibility, the subwoofer guarantees long-lasting performance and more precise control over the cone excursion. These materials ensure that distortion does not occur even under heavy loads. Compared to other materials that are heavier or less flexible, the combination of polypropylene and butyl in the SUB10 offers both sound quality and durability.

Physical properties and installation options of the Focal SUB10 subwoofer

The Focal SUB10 has a net weight of just 4.5 kg, making it much easier to integrate into existing sound systems. Thanks to its compact 10 (25 cm) size, it easily fits into most vehicles without unnecessarily taking up space. These features make the Focal SUB10 ideal for users seeking an unobtrusive yet powerful solution. Smaller and lighter subwoofers like the SUB10 also prevent unwanted stress on mounting surfaces, resulting in less vibration and distortion in the sound reproduction. Despite its small size, the SUB10 delivers the full power and precision expected from a premium subwoofer.

50 mm voice coil diameter and its advantages in the audio range of the Focal SUB10

The Focal SUB10 features a 50 mm voice coil diameter, giving the subwoofer cone additional control and stability. This design promotes efficient heat dissipation and reduces the risk of heat damage that can occur during intensive use. Subwoofers with a smaller voice coil diameter tend to overheat more quickly at high volumes and cause distortion. While a larger diameter would also be efficient at heat dissipation, the weight could impair the cone's mobility. The SUB10 thus enjoys the balance of durability and high performance, offering listeners clear and powerful bass without compromise.
