About The SVS SB-2000 Pro Subwoofer
The SVS SB-2000 Pro Sealed Box Subwoofer takes the great value for money and exceptional performance of the previous SB-2000 and dials it up a notch to truly outstanding. The quality of the bass driver and power of the amplifier have both been increased and the new Pro version now features App control for the ultimate in subwoofer tuning.
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.
The SB-2000 Pro has jaw-dropping deep bass extension and massive output with stunning musicality that will delight both audiophiles and home theatre fans alike. It features an all-new 12" SVS driver and a 550 Watts RMS, 1,500+ Watts peak power Sledge amplifier with fully discrete MOSFET output and the SVS subwoofer DSP smartphone app in a compact cabinet measuring roughly 15" (381mm) on all sides.
A Closer Look At The SB-2000 Pro
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-2000 Pro answers the call. Read on to see why it is one of the most popular models under $2,000.
All New High-Excursion 12" Woofer: The completely redesigned 12" (305mm) SVS driver delivers massive low frequency output with unerring accuracy and transient speed. An aluminium vented cone with exceptional stiffness to mass ratio and a proprietary injection moulded extreme-excursion surround ensure flawless pistonic motion for flawless control and accuracy.
- The Dual ferrite magnet motor assembly weighing around 7 kilos generates massive amounts of magnetics to produce extreme driver excursion without losing control. Effortlessly achieves extension below 20 Hz without distortion.
- The lightweight and rigid aluminium vented cone with a composite fibre dust cap creates room-energizing SPLs while maintaining control even at the highest drive levels.
- A long-throw parabolic surround using proprietary injection moulding allows extreme excursion for bass you can feel while preserving drive unit longevity.
- An aluminium pole piece extension improves thermal management properties for exceptional heat dissipation.
- A dual layer voice coil design maximizes linearity and accuracy at full excursion while minimizing distortion and power compression.
STA-550D Sledge Amplifier: Conservatively rated at 550 watts RMS, 1,500+ watts peak power, the Sledge STA-550D amplifier maximises the full potential of the 12" driver with effortless power and precise control. The innovative design combines the efficiency of a Class D amplifier with the ability to move colossal amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs for outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels, in any room.
Featuring High Current Output from Fully Discrete MOSFETs with the Efficiency of a Class D Amplifier allows the Sledge STA-550D amplifier to move massive amounts of current enabling immense output with surgical precision.
A sophisticated 50Mhz High Resolution Analog Devices Audio DSP is the most advanced digital Processor ever used in a subwoofer and maintains pinpoint accuracy and pristine sound quality through advanced in-room tuning, powerful DSP controls and more. Frequency response curves optimized specifically for the SB-2000 Pro allow the subwoofer to take control of a room and completely pressurize it with crisp, heart-pounding bass.
SB-2000 Pro Smartphone App: The 2000 Pro Series subwoofer app is the most convenient way ever to control volume, access multiple DSP functions and program custom presets for one-touch tuning optimized for music, movies, gaming, and more. Adjust crossover frequencies, a three-band parametric EQ, polarity, room gain and more, all from your favourite seat.
The SVS subwoofer app also allows advanced customization so you can name your subwoofer for easy preset switching, choose the subwoofer standby mode and reset the subwoofer to factory settings. Bluetooth connectivity allows full control, even when the subwoofer is out of sight and bi-directional feedback shows adjustments in real time on both the app and rear panel subwoofer interface.
- Connects via Bluetooth for convenient control even when subwoofer is out of sight.
- Custom presets can be saved for movies, music and more so you have one-touch tuning optimized for your listening preferences.
- 3-band parametric EQ controller allows precise adjustments for frequency slope and Q factor down to the single Hz level with four different slopes, so users can improve performance by eliminating peaks, nulls and other room issues.
- 2-way feedback shows updates in real time on both the app and rear panel subwoofer interface.
Acoustically Inert: The extra-thick MDF front baffle and extensive internal bracing in the acoustically optimized SB-2000 Pro Series cabinet create a resonance-free environment that serves as a blank canvas for uncompromised subwoofer performance. Acoustic insulation eliminates all coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume. Also included is a protective, non-resonant extra-thick ABS grille and custom iso-elastomer feet for reducing noise artefacts within a room.
Problems With Vibrations From Your Subwoofer? Try This: To isolate your subwoofer from the floor and provide improved bass performance while reducing floor and wall vibrations, noise artefacts and complaints from neighbours or roommates, choose the SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System (4 Pack).
