SVS SB-2000 Pro Sealed Subwoofer with DSP

Tight, Deep Bass You Can Tune From Your Seat

The SVS SB-2000 Pro Sealed Subwoofer packs a 12-inch high-excursion driver and a 550-watt Sledge amplifier into a compact sealed cabinet barely 15 inches on a side. The sealed design means tight, accurate bass that digs below 20 Hz, and SVS's DSP and smartphone app let you dial it in perfectly from your listening seat.

Why You'll Love It

• Tight, accurate bass. The sealed cabinet delivers the fast, controlled low end that suits music as much as movies, reaching below 20 Hz without sounding boomy.
• Serious output, compact box. A 12-inch high-excursion driver and 550-watt (1,500-watt peak) Sledge amplifier fill a room with clean, effortless bass from a cabinet that fits almost anywhere.
• Tune it from your chair. The SVS app gives you volume, low-pass, phase, a 3-band parametric EQ and custom presets over Bluetooth, so you can perfect the bass without leaving your seat.

Under the Hood

• Redesigned driver. A 12-inch high-excursion SVS driver with an aluminium vented cone and dual ferrite magnet motor for low distortion at high output.
• Sledge amplification. The Sledge STA-550D amplifier, 550 watts RMS and 1,500 watts peak, driven by a 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP for precise control.
• Full control on tap. The app and rear-panel Intelligent Control Interface, with three custom presets you can switch between for music, movies and late-night listening.

CHT Insider Verdict

The SB-2000 Pro is the second tier in SVS's sealed Pro range, a clear step up from the entry SB-1000 Pro with a bigger amp and more output, while keeping the tight, musical character sealed subs are known for. For a medium to large room where you want accurate bass for both music and home theatre, it hits the mark, and you can add a second down the track for even, seat-to-seat bass.

Pro Tip: The three-band parametric EQ in the app is the SB-2000 Pro's secret weapon. Most rooms have one big bass peak that makes things sound boomy. Find it, pull it down a few dB with the PEQ, and the whole system tightens up. If you have the space, a second sub evens out the bass further from seat to seat.
