SUBWOOFER

Massively  powerful  Sledge  1,200-watt  continuous  Class  D  design  with  4,200  watts  of  Peak 

Power. 

Unmatched intelligence from user adjustable low pass, phase, polarity and room gain compen-

sation  with  three  parametric  EQs  and  port  tuning  (Ported  models  only)  for  absolute  best 

alignment with speakers and optimized performance in any room.

Groundbreaking SVS Bluetooth DSP control app for iOS and Android devices with three user 

presets allow custom tuning for every room and system.

High  e ciency  cool-running  Class  D  switching  topology  with  massive  32  Amp  600  Volt 

MOSFET’s  result  in  lower  EMI  and  highest  e ciency  while  providing  e ortless  power  to 

produce SPLs and low frequency output with pristine clarity well beyond reference listening 

levels.

High resolution 50Mhz Analog Devices Audio DSP with double precision 56bit  ltering is the 

most advanced subwoofer processor available for perfect audio reproduction.

100v-240v full range input active Power Factor Correction (PFC) pre-regulates mains to solid 

360V DC regardless of mains voltage or quality so the sound quality never falters no matter 

what’s coming out of the wall.

Active PFC lowers average current and smooths mains input current allowing for 1200W output 

from a standard 15A mains circuit.

XLR and RCA stereo input/output with ultra-wide input voltage for consumer and professional 

audio applications.

output based on listening preferences and content.

Auto/On and 3-30V AC/DC trigger for maximum installation convenience.

Input impedance 22kohm (unbalanced RCA)/ 22kohm (balanced XLR).

Green 0.5-watt low standby power consumption.

RoHS compliant, lead-free construction, world-wide safety certi cations.

AMPLIFIER FEATURES

Nickel-plated high-tension spring terminals provide secure connections.

Proprietary injection molded gasket and parabolic SBR extreme-excursion surround maintains 

ideal pistonic motion for pinpoint accuracy and control.
