BRACE OF NEW SVS SUBS REACHES THE UK
With even more bass per buck, the new 2000 Series models lay siege to the sub £1K market…
As bass aficionados on both sides of the Atlantic will testify, there’s nothing to rival the clean explosive bass and eye-popping value of SVS active subs. Making their UK debut and employing the ‘Ultra’ acoustic design of SVS flagship models, the new, sealed, SB-2000 and ported PB-2000 designs are bound to attract new fans to the brand.
Priced at £649 and £739 respectively and incorporating a powerful new 500 watt Sledge DSP amplifier driving a completely re-designed 12” SVS driver, the SB-2000 and PB-2000 will challenge the best sub £1k models with a captivating fusion of slam, depth, timing and control.
At the heart of each subwoofer is a newly engineered 12” 2000-series driver with dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimised motor for a near distortion-free performance. A reinforced Nomex spider has been integrated for improved linearity and driver control, especially important when the STA-500D amp is pushing the subwoofers to their maximum output levels. To ensure the SB-2000 and PB-2000 play their best long into the future, the driver also features a durable low-creep rubber long-throw surround and integrated tinsel leads to eliminate ‘tinsel slap’ and improve reliability.

Conservatively rated at a robust 500 watts RMS continuous and 1100 watts peak dynamic, the Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier features a sophisticated DSP, which includes an array of filters and volume, gain, and phase controls for fine-tuning performance. A frequency-dependent limiter/compressor algorithm with adjustable attack/release and compression parameters offers the ultimate in refined behaviour at the drive limits of the subwoofer system.
SB-2000
The SB-2000 achieves a staggering 19-240 Hz frequency response from a compact, sealed enclosure weighing approx. 16kg and measuring a room –friendly 37 x 36 x 43 cm (incl. feet and grille). Flexible connectivity, including stereo line-level RCA input and outputs, provides for easy set-up and integration within any home theatre or stereo system, and the opportunity to multiply the bass power by adding further SB-2000s.
PB-2000
Weighing in at nearly 30kg and featuring a front-firing 4” high-flow port, the larger PB-2000 delivers a correspondingly more physical bass output, reaching down to 17Hz to energise rooms of any size with the low frequency dynamics that contribute to more exciting and realistic movie and music playback. Taking design cues from the flagship SVS Ultra range, the PB-2000 mirrors the clean look of its SB-2000 sibling, having handsome radius corners, premium black grain finish and a robust metal grille.
