SVS PB-1000 Subwoofer (Black Ash)

About The SVS PB-1000 Subwoofer

The PB-1000 subwoofer is a game-changer that offers both low frequency extension and thunderous SPL output without compromising its musicality. The front-firing driver of this subwoofer has dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimized internal motor technology that enables extreme excursion for high output with extremely low distortion. The 10-inch driver's performance is comparable to that of 12 and 15-inch drivers housed in much larger cabinets.

SVS was founded in 1998 by a group of audio enthusiasts seeking to develop a better alternative to the under-performing and over-priced subwoofers of that time and refute the notion that exceptional sound quality has to be ridiculously expensive. The SVS design approach involves a fusion of leading edge technology, precision engineering, exhaustive lab and real-world testing, as well as, a deep personal passion for audio excellence, all brought to life by their team of acoustic engineers. By using the highest quality components, the SVS team has developed a line of high-performance, high-value audio subwoofers that bring music and movies to life with stunning realism.

Look at the Audio Trends range of subwoofers and you'll see we love bass - especially deep, accurate bass that rocks the house and adds intense realism to our movies, music, and video games. But that kind of low-end performance is normally only available for those with deep pockets. So we're always on the lookout for subs that deliver the level of performance we crave at a price we can afford. 

The PB-1000 subwoofer features a long-stroke driver with a lightweight cone material that can produce both powerful LFEs and delicate music tones with a lifelike, realistic sound quality. This makes it an excellent choice for both music enthusiasts and home theatre lovers. Additionally, the durable rubber surrounds ensure that the subwoofer will perform well even when pushed to its limits for prolonged periods of time.

Sledge STA-300D Amplifier: The PB-1000 subwoofer is powered by an integrated SVS Sledge STA-300D amplifier that features a sophisticated DSP. The amplifier is perfectly matched to the unique ported cabinet configuration and an equalization curve optimized for enhanced transient response and room gain. The Sledge amplifier is conservatively rated at 300 watts RMS and 700+ watts peak power, providing precise control of the subwoofer at all drive levels. This means that you can push the subwoofer to reference volumes and maintain accuracy in frequency response without compromising on the source content. The advanced DSP engine also allows for fine-tuning of audio playback and easy integration into any home theatre or stereo system. Whether you are challenging the PB-1000 with the most challenging musical bassline or soundtrack, it stays true to the source content.
