SVS – PB-1000 Pro – 12″ Ported Subwoofer

Room-shaking output well below the threshold of audibility, with pinpoint control and accuracy, the PB-1000 Pro obliterates performance expectations for subwoofers anywhere near the price. A reimagined 12″ high-excursion SVS driver is married to a reference 325W RMS, 820+W peak power Sledge amplifier with fully discreet MOSFET output for stunningly immersive cinematic bass. PB-1000 Pro is optimized with a new dual-port cabinet design for effortless bass with vanishingly low distortion and features the SVS Subwoofer DSP smartphone app for convenient tuning and control.

The original SVS PB-1000 rocked the subwoofer world with unparalleled performance at its price and beyond. Now, the PB-1000 Pro raises the bar even higher with greater low-frequency output, deeper bass extension down to a guttural 17Hz, performance-enhancing dual-port cabinet design, and a massive upgrade to the user experience. New to the PB-1000 Pro is a dual-port configuration that enables greater output with much lower distortion compared to the original 1000 Series model.

A complete reimagination of the original 10″ driver, the PB-1000 Pro features an all-new 12″ high-excursion driver with dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimized internal motor architecture for extreme excursion and massive, pristine output. With innovations to the cone, surround, voice coil, and motor assembly, the unflappable 12″ driver unleashes room-shaking bass never-before-heard from a ported subwoofer anywhere near the price.

Using the same amplifier technology as the flagship SVS 16-Ultra Series, PB-1000 Pro features a 325W RMS, 820+W peak power Sledge STA-325D amplifier with fully discrete MOSFET output. Harnessing the massive power while ensuring accuracy and control is a 50 MHz Analog Devices Audio DSP with frequency response curves precisely tuned for the PB-1000 Pro.

PB-1000 Pro also features the SVS subwoofer smartphone app, the most convenient way to control volume, access multiple DSP functions, and program custom presets for one-touch tuning profiles optimized for music, movies, gaming, and more. Adjust crossover frequencies, a three-band parametric EQ, polarity, room gain, and more, all from your favorite seat.
PB-1000 Pro stands alone in its excellence with massive output well below the threshold of human hearing, where bass is only felt, with flawless tonal accuracy and precise control. The deepest, most effortless, and refined bass at a truly breakthrough price, PB-1000 Pro defies expectations at every level with performance-driven innovation.
