The SB-1000 Pro is a breakthrough subwoofer in every way. Multiple innovations were deployed in the high-excursion 12″ 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 325W RMS, 820W 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.

The 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 favorite seat.

Maximizing every available square-inch of surface area, SVS packed a high-excursion 12″ driver and dual ferrite motor assembly into an acoustically inert 13″ cabinet. Thermal management is critical when dealing with such a powerful amplifier and motor in a relatively compact sealed cabinet. SVS engineered a vented pole piece and efficient high-power voice coil to keep the SB-1000 Pro subwoofer cool without impacting performance.

Multiple innovations enhance performance within a sealed cabinet enclosure, all aimed at generating subterranean deep bass extension and seismic output while remaining accurate and controlled.

• The fiber composite cone with exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio moves massive amounts of air while starting and stopping on a dime with crisp precision.
• A proprietary, injection-molded, extreme-excursion surround ensures flawless pistonic motion for pinpoint control and accuracy without distortion at the highest drive levels.
• The dual ferrite magnet motor assembly with extended aluminum pole piece produces effortless on-demand driving-force for subtle and over-the-top bass thrills.
• The powder-coated FEA-optimized driver basket provides maximum rigidity, tensile strength, and thermal energy transference.
• The dual-layer voice coil design enhances linearity and fidelity at full excursion while minimizing distortion and power compression.

Conservatively rated at 325 watts RMS and 820 watts peak power, the Sledge STA-325D amplifier maximizes 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 generate colossal current through the fully discrete MOSFETs for outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels, in any room, allowing seamless integration with any home theater or stereo speaker system. The sophisticated 50 MHz High Resolution Analog Devices Audio DSP maintains pristine sound quality through advanced in-room tuning, powerful DSP controls, custom presets, and more. Optimized frequency response curves for the sealed cabinet SB-1000 Pro allow the subwoofer to take control of a room and pressurize it with accurate, heart-pounding, acoustically tuned bass.

The SVS Subwoofer Smartphone app is the easiest way to control your subwoofer’s volume and manage custom presets for one-touch tuning for movies, music, and more. The app works with Apple iOS and Android devices over Bluetooth to unleash the full force of the 1000 Pro series subwoofers by controlling all DSP functions, including volume, 3-band parametric EQ, low pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain, and system settings, even when the subwoofer is out of sight. Save custom presets for one-touch tuning with optimized settings based on listening preferences for movies, music, and more, all accessible from a single touch.

The rear-panel SVS Intelligent Control Interface (ICI) provides control options and connections for the subwoofer’s most critical functions. Level Control lets you fine-tune the overall output level that best matches the system and room. The low pass filter control ensures smooth sonic transitions and seamless blending with your main speakers. Phase control aligns the subwoofer’s output timing with the main speakers or additional subwoofers. A USB port provides power for the optional SVS SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter, which eliminates the need for a cable run to the subwoofer from the source component. RCA audio interconnect inputs are onboard for use with most A/V receivers and preamplifiers. Speaker level stereo inputs are also available for use with older legacy receivers.

Understated yet stylish, the acoustically optimized sealed cabinet features an extra-thick MDF front baffle and rigid internal bracing to create a resonance-free environment. Compact enough to fit in nearly any room or system, it serves as a blank canvas for uncompromised subwoofer performance. Acoustic absorption eliminates all coloration from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume. A protective, non-resonant, extra-thick ABS grille frame with fabric mesh cover shields the driver to prevent damage while ensuring longevity. The reinforced internal bracing provides resonance-free performance at highest drive levels. Custom iso-elastomer screw-in feet reduce noise artifacts and improve stability.

The 50 MHz High Resolution Analog Devices Audio DSP with precision 56-bit filtering allows the 1000 Pro series to blend with any speakers and maintain pristine sound quality through advanced in-room tuning, optimized frequency response curves, powerful DSP controls, and more.
