About The SVS SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer
The SVS SB-1000 Pro subwoofer offers gutsy performance and truly sophisticated technology basically unheard of for the money. With a reimagined 12" high-excursion driver in a sealed enclosure and a bigger beefier amplifier, the SB-1000 Pro also now features convenient App control for the ultimate in subwoofer tuning from the comfort of your chair.
SVS was founded in 1998 by a group of audio enthusiasts seeking to develop a better alternative to the under-performing and over-priced subwoofers of that time and refute the notion that exceptional sound quality has to be ridiculously expensive. The SVS design approach involves a fusion of leading edge technology, precision engineering, exhaustive lab and real-world testing, as well as, a deep personal passion for audio excellence, all brought to life by their team of acoustic engineers. By using the highest quality components, the SVS team has developed a line of high-performance, high-value audio subwoofers that bring music and movies to life with stunning realism.
Look at the Audio Trends range of subwoofers and you'll see we love bass - especially deep, accurate bass that rocks the house and adds intense realism to our movies, music, and video games. But that kind of low-end performance is normally only available for those with deep pockets. So we're always on the lookout for subs that deliver the level of performance we crave at a price we can afford. The SVS SB-1000 Pro answers the call. Read on to see why and why it is the most popular model in its class.
Breathtaking bass and stunning musicality from a compact 13" (330mm) enclosure with state-of-the-art features that redefine subwoofer performance at the price and beyond. A true powerhouse with legendary pedigree that punches well above its class, the SB-1000 Pro subwoofer features a 325 watts RMS, 820+ watts peak power Sledge amplifier with fully discrete MOSFET output and sophisticated 50 MHz DSP for pristine, room-energizing bass. A reimagined 12-inch high-excursion driver takes control of a room with heart-pounding, tonally accurate low end for more immersive listening experiences. Also includes SVS subwoofer DSP smartphone app for convenient tuning and control.
Jaw-dropping deep bass extension down to 20Hz and massive output with stunning musicality that will delight both audiophiles and home theatre fans. Reference subwoofer performance has never been available near this price from a cabinet of this size. SB-1000 Pro is a breakthrough subwoofer in every way.
Multiple innovations were deployed in the high-excursion 12-inch SVS SB-1000 Pro driver to ensure massive subwoofer performance from a relatively compact cabinet. Advances to the cone, surround, voice coil, and motor assembly maximize excursion for room-energizing SPLs at the lowest frequencies, with precision and control.
Using reference amplifier technology from the flagship SVS 16-Ultra Series, the SB-1000 Pro features a 325 watts RMS, 820+ watts peak power Sledge STA-325D amplifier with fully discrete MOSFET output. Harnessing the immense power while ensuring tonal accuracy and driver control for more convincing bass effects is a 50 MHz Analog Devices Audio DSP with frequency response precisely tuned for the SB-1000 Pro.
SB-1000 Pro also features the SVS subwoofer smartphone app, the most convenient way to control volume, access multiple DSP functions, and program custom presets. Adjust crossover frequencies, a three-band parametric EQ, polarity, room gain and more, all from your favourite seat.

SVS SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer Reviews
"The new SVS 1000 Pro Series subwoofers deliver more powerful bass and offer more configuration options than we're accustomed to seeing at this price. I highly recommend both the sealed and ported versions of the SVS 1000 Pro Series. At their price points, there isn't anything I rate higher. The choice between them will come down to your physical size preference and the size of your room." Home Theater Review
"The SB-1000 Pro is the sort of product you see from a company that is at the top of its game. SVS can afford to make this, its most affordable subwoofer, as good as it is, and as packed with features as it is, because the models above it are indeed more capable in tangible, measurable ways. But SVS has surely shrunk the gap between the SB-1000 Pro and the step-up SB-2000 Pro (versus the SB-1000 that it replaces) and in the process created a sub that's small yet truly mighty. This is a subwoofer that's spec'd to get down to 20 Hz, and indeed it does exactly that, in my room, because "physics"... i.e. careful DSP tuning that gives it a super well-behaved response once you factor in room gain. And then it adds the full power of the SVS App, which takes customization of this compact sub to a whole another level. This is why the SB-1000 Pro gets an AVS Forum Top Choice Award for 2021."
