Effortless Output from High-Excursion 15-inch SVS Driver

The most formidable, ported cabinet subwoofer driver in its class features all-new dual edge wound voice coils, suspension, basket, and extreme-excursion surround to achieve visceral sound pressure levels with pinpoint accuracy.

• Lightweight and rigid 15-inch glass fibre composite cone with optimal stiffness-to-mass ratio for maximum efficiency and acoustic linearity
• Two-piece toroidal ferrite electromagnetic motor generates massive force with precise control, remaining authoritative yet detailed and controlled
• Extreme-excursion catenary SBR surround maintains pure, long-throw pistonic driver motion

Unerring Control from Dual Edge Wound Voice Coils

Precision engineered dual edge wound voice coils ensure stable transfer of electro-magnetic current to the 15-inch driver for authoritative output and exacting driver control.

• Six-layer bi-filar dual voice coils conduct the massive power from the dual-mono amplifier to the motor with maximum thermal efficiency, resulting in effortless acoustic output
• Flat edge wound aluminium voice coil wire maximises density for optimal magnetic field strength and thermal capacity

Dual Mono STA-2000D Amplifier Design with Discrete MOSFET Output

A revolutionary new amplifier platform with technology adapted from the flagship SVS subwoofers. Rated conservatively at 2,000 Watts Continuous, 5,000+ Watts Peak, the innovative design maximises driver potential with refined behaviour and pristine response at any volume.

• High Current Output of Fully Discrete MOSFET transistors with efficiency of Class D Amplifier generates immense sonic force with precise control for outstanding real-world performance at all volumes.
• Each monoblock amp drives one of the dual three-inch voice coils within the motor to assert pinpoint control and maximise power fed to the driver
• Eight 60 Amp 200 Volt MOSFET transistors deliver extreme high current for reference-level output with maximum efficiency

Performance Enhancing Switch Mode Power Supply

Regardless of the power coming out of your household circuit, the PB-5000 R|Evolution always maintains peak performance and remains impervious to voltage fluctuations.

• Onboard AC line conditioner filters and stabilises incoming voltage, corrects waveform distortions, and eliminates electromagnetic and radio interferences to optimise signal quality and audio performance
• Ensures clean and consistent 160V rail voltage and optimal power delivery from a standard 15-amp home circuit
• Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) time aligns the AC voltage to the AC current resulting in less heat, greater efficiency, reliable peak power output, and the ability to maintain rated power over a wide-range of voltages
• FEA optimised convection cooling system has no exterior heatsinks, an extraordinary feat for such a powerful amplifier

Extreme Subwoofer Intelligence – 295 MHz Analogue Devices DSP

Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most sophisticated DSP ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer.

• Accurately shapes in-room frequency response with absolute precision for faithful signal reproduction
• Monitors every function of the amplifier to stabilise AC voltage delivery to the power supply to maintain consistent peak output
• Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensure maximum output and efficiency
• Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (Digital-to-Analogue Converters) with 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity

SVS Subwoofer Smartphone Control App

Convenient subwoofer tuning and control from the comfort of your favourite seat. Works via Bluetooth with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms.
