About your SV Subwoofer
SV Subwoofers
Other subwoofers might look like them — but virtually none work like them.
Not at this price. SVS’s are decidedly different, in how they are designed, produced,
sold, and even in the exceptional customer service after the sale. No surprise then, you
could have spent much more and still not come close to the value and performance our
Powered Box lines provide. But what makes a subwoofer an SVS???
Quality parts, sane prices. You might be surprised at how inexpensive the
components in most not-so-inexpensive subwoofers might be. At SVS we scour the
earth for the best, most cost effective parts (the few we don’t make ourselves), and
meld them into finely tuned designs that define high performance home theater and
music bass. Still, cost is always the second consideration at SVS. Want woofers,
amps, or even binding posts? We’ve tested and discarded plenty that didn’t meet our
tough standards. If we use it, whatever “it” is, you know it made the grade.
Get “cube-ular”. Many we’ve seen are simply poorly made. We did a host of
studies that optimized the materials, the size, and even the enclosure finish to ensure a
rigid design that was still compact for its performance and able to take the abuse your
family and friends can dish out. Proudly “Made in the USA”, like most other SVS
parts, the cabinet is no ordinary box. Selling direct means your sub, and not glossy
ads, gets first priority. SVS is quality you can hear.
Stable downward firing woofer. Our contemporary enclosure design is one plus,
but we’ve also taken great lengths to allow for downward firing woofers. Coupled
with our unique base-plates, which minimize driver reactive forces, you’ll find our
subs can take a tremendous amount of power and remain rock solid. Compliant rubber
feet on allow for stable placement on a variety of surfaces. No rattling, or buzzing
allowed!
Custom low turbulence port designs. When you listen to your trend-setting
ported sub you’ll hear (and feel) bass like never before, with a exceptionally low noise
and distortion. Huge, patented flared port fittings make the difference! One DVD or
music CD and you’ll realize something special went into this product.
Stylish, and understated. From the hand-finished American wood craftsmanship
of the box, to the elegant base, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to lose your sub in a
corner. SVS’s aren’t tiny, but this is one of those times size does matter. There are
countless brands of “wannabe” subs out there. Fortunately, you didn’t just unpack
one.
World-class power. Our Canadian-built amps are manufactured with a level of fit
and finish, plus a collection of features and power practically unheard of at this price.
Did we mention power? It’s there in spades (though we rate them conservatively).
And SVS starts with efficient subwoofer designs which don’t require significant levels
of power-robbing equalization to go low and flat. So our amps can work harder at
reproducing low frequencies, instead of struggling against a lack of enclosure space
(the bane of clean, deep bass). As a result, we don’t require the megawatts some subs
do, instead running cool and reliable in our vented enclosures. These digital hybrid
amps run so cool, we can even dispense with old-fashioned “cooling fins”!
