SVS PB-2000 Pro Ported Subwoofer with DSP

Cinematic Bass That Digs Down to 16 Hz

The SVS PB-2000 Pro Ported Subwoofer takes the same 12-inch driver and 550-watt Sledge amplifier as the sealed SB-2000 Pro and loads them into a dual-ported cabinet, for more output and deeper extension down to 16 Hz. It is built for people who want the big, room-shaking bass that movies are made for, with full app control to dial it in.

Why You'll Love It

• Bass you feel. The dual-ported design digs down to 16 Hz and moves serious air, for the deep, physical low end that makes action films and games come alive.
• Two subs in one. Variable port tuning lets you run it ported for maximum output, or plug the ports for a tighter, sealed response, so you can match it to music or movies.
• 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

• Serious driver. A 12-inch high-excursion SVS driver with an aluminium vented cone and dual ferrite magnet motor, the same as the sealed SB-2000 Pro.
• Sledge amplification. The Sledge STA-550D amplifier, 550 watts RMS and 1,500 watts peak, driven by a 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP for effortless power.
• Variable tuning. Dual ports with Standard and Sealed tuning modes, plus full control via the app and rear-panel Intelligent Control Interface.

CHT Insider Verdict

The PB-2000 Pro is the ported counterpart to the sealed SB-2000 Pro, and the one to choose when output and depth matter more than a compact box. The ported cabinet reaches lower and plays louder, so it is the pick for home theatre and larger rooms where you want bass you can feel in your chest. The trade-off is size, as it is a big subwoofer, but the sealed tuning mode lets it tighten up for music when you want. Add a second for even, seat-to-seat bass.

Pro Tip: Start in the standard ported tuning for the deepest, loudest bass, which suits movies and big rooms. If it is a little too much for music, plug one or both ports and switch the app to the sealed setting for a tighter, more controlled response. It is like having two subwoofers in one cabinet.
