SVS SB-2000 Black Ash

The SVS SB-2000 Pro is a compact subwoofer that represents a significant evolution in the lineup of the American manufacturer. It delivers performance suited for both music and home theater, while incorporating advanced technical features.

A Concentration of Technology in a Compact Format

The SB-2000 Pro boasts an elegant and minimalist design that conceals cutting-edge technology. Its cubic enclosure, measuring just 37 cm on each side, houses a 30 cm (12-inch) driver specifically designed for significant excursion. This transducer is powered by a Sledge STA-550D Class D amplifier capable of delivering 550 watts RMS continuous power, with peaks up to 1500 watts.

The onboard electronics also include a high-resolution 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP, inherited from the brand’s high-end models. This processor enables precise sound control and offers numerous adjustment options via the dedicated mobile app.

Stunning Sound Performance

Despite its modest size, the SB-2000 Pro can reach down to 19 Hz with remarkable precision. Its frequency response ranges from 19 to 240 Hz (+/- 3 dB), providing an extended dynamic range. The subwoofer delivers deep, powerful bass while maintaining excellent speed and definition.

The sound quality is particularly impressive on complex musical passages. The SB-2000 Pro reproduces instrumental nuances with finesse, never sounding boomy or sluggish. For cinematic effects, it brings striking realism to explosions and other special effects, literally immersing the viewer in the action.

Easy Integration with the Mobile App

One of the standout features of the SB-2000 Pro is its compatibility with the SVS Subwoofer DSP app, available for free on iOS and Android. This intuitive interface allows you to control all the subwoofer’s settings from a smartphone or tablet, without needing to move.

The app offers advanced settings such as a 3-band parametric equalizer, adjustable low-pass filter, and 180° phase control. It also provides optimized presets for different types of content (music, movies, video games). Audiophiles will appreciate the ability to finely tune the subwoofer’s response to match the room’s acoustics.

Sleek Design for Discreet Integration

With its black lacquered finish, the SB-2000 Pro features a clean and elegant look that easily blends into any interior. Its compact size allows for easy placement, even in tight spaces. The acoustically transparent fabric grille protects the driver while preserving its performance.

The build quality is impeccable, with a rigid and inert cabinet that minimizes unwanted vibrations. Rubber feet ensure proper decoupling from the floor. On the back, you’ll find stereo RCA inputs as well as an LFE input for direct connection to a home theater amplifier.

A Major Upgrade Over the Previous Model

Compared to its predecessor, the SB-2000, the new SB-2000 Pro brings significant improvements. Amplification has increased from 500 to 550 watts RMS, while the DSP has gained in power and precision. The driver has been completely redesigned to offer greater excursion and improved linearity.

However, the most notable evolution lies in the features. The addition of mobile app control opens up new possibilities for fine-tuning, previously reserved for high-end models. The SB-2000 Pro thus delivers an unprecedented level of performance and versatility in this price range.
