About your SV Subwoofer
There maybe be other subwoofers that look like them , but virtually none work like
them. Not at this price. SV Subwoofers are decidedly different in how they are
designed, produced, sold, and even in the exceptionally high quality components we
use. The best part? You could have spent much more and
still not come close to the
performance our subwoofers provide. So, what makes a subwoofer an SVS ?
Quality components, sane prices. You might be surprised at how inexpensive the
components in some not-so-inexpensive subwoofers are. At SVS, performance is
king... not shaving off a few dollars from component costs. We scour the earth for the
best, most cost-effective parts (when we don’t make them ourselves), and meld them
into finely tuned designs that define high performance home theater (HT) and music
bass. We’ve tested and discarded plenty that didn’t meet our tough standards. If we
use it, you know “it” is satisfied some tough customers first. Us.
Get “square”. Typical subs require heavy internal bracing and 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 and able to
take the abuse your family and friends can dish out. SVS cabinets are no ordinary
boxes. Selling through select dealers means your sub, and not glossy ads, get the
priority at SVS. Tap the side of your sub, look at those smooth corners, and you’ll
know what we mean.
Stable front firing woofer. Our tough box design is one plus, but we’ve also taken
great lengths to design a simple and effective front firing configuration. Look for little
details like stainless steel mounting pins and match rubber lined sockets (instead of
cheap plastic parts). Removable rubber feet allow for stable placement on any surface.
No rattling, or buzzing allowed, even if you put your sub on tile or wood floors.
Custom low turbulence port designs. When you listen to our trend-setting ported
subs you’ll hear (and feel) bass like never before, with a exceptionally low noise and
distortion. Huge patented, 3” flared port fittings make the difference. You’ll quickly
realize something special went into your new sub the second you fire it up.
Stylish, and understated. From the fine, durable enclosure finish, to the attractive
color-keyed grill, 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 many
brands of boring “black box” subs out there. Fortunately, you didn’t just unpack one.
World class power. Our North American built amps are designed and manufactured
with a level of fit and finish, 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 designs which don’t require significant levels of power robbing
equalization to go low and flat. This way, our amps can be dedicated to reproducing
low frequencies, not making up for a lack of enclosure space (the bane of clean, deep
bass). As a result, we don’t require the megawatts some subs do. Plus they run cool
and reliable in those vented cylinders. We sweat the details on integrating a top of the
line amp in your sub, so you don’t have to.
