SVS Pb-2000 Powered Subwoofer 12" Woofer - (Black Ash)

Product Research

• The front-firing 12" high output woofer of the SVS PB-2000 powered subwoofer pumps out deep and powerful bass with low distortion, for smooth and accurate performance on music and movies soundtracks.
• The woofer features a lightweight 12" aluminum cone for enhanced sensitivity and transient response, an upgraded suspension for improved linearity and control, plus a long-excursion rubber surround for durability and long-life.
• It also incorporates FEA-optimized motor technology for low distortion, heavy-duty 2" voice coil for extreme power handling, and an extended pole piece that improves heat sink and thermal management properties.

• The PB-2000 powered subwoofer employs a Sledge STA-500D amplifier with efficient and cool-running Class D topology.
• The amplifier is conservatively rated at 500 watts RMS and 1000 watts Peak.
• This amp features a highly advanced DSP processor offering unmatched control over the subwoofer at all volume levels, for distortion free bass.

• The SVS PB-2000 powered subwoofer features a rigid MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) cabinet with screw-in rubber feet and a non-resonant steel mesh grille to resist unwanted distortion caused by vibration.
• The cabinet utilizes a bass reflex (ported) design with a front-firing 4" high-flow port with inner/outer port flares for smooth bass and high output.
• The cabinet is elegantly finished in a premium black ash wood-grain vinyl and fits with practically any décor.

• The PB-2000 subwoofer has simple and straightforward control options that make integrating the subwoofer into your listening environment an easy task.
• The control knobs are actually digital actuators for precise and noise-free adjustment.

• The Volume Control (Min/Max) affects how loud the subwoofer plays. It should be adjusted to match the output level of your loudspeakers.

• This Low Pass Crossover affects the upper frequency limit of the powered sub. The controlrange is 50-160 Hz, along with a "LFE" (disabled) setting.
• The slope of the low pass crossover is 12 dB/octave. For connection to a home theater receiver, the low pass should be set to "LFE" (disabled).
• For stereo receiver, it should be adjusted to blend with the natural roll-off frequency of your loudspeakers.
• Phase Control:
• The Phase Control (0-180°) delays the signal being processed through the amplifier.
• It should be adjusted to obtain the most coherent and stable soundstage and transition between your loudspeakers and the powered subwoofer.

• Comprehensive and flexible connectivity options allow for easy set-up and integration into your home theater or stereo system.

• These unbalanced RCA inputs are used for line-level connection between your receiver and the powered sub. For a single mono connection to a home theater receiver, use the R/LFE input. For stereo receivers, use both the L/R inputs.

• These unbalanced RCA outputs are used in stereo applications to high pass the signal being sent to the loudspeaker amplifier. The line level outputs feature a fixed 80Hz, 12 dB/octave high-pass filter.

• If possible, place the subwoofer near the front stage, for best blending with the front and center loudspeaker channels.

• Corner placement will accommodate most rooms and will reduce the chances for encountering a null (an acoustic cancellation in the bass response) at the listening position.
• If your AV receiver equalizes the subwoofer channel during auto-set-up, corner placement will often provide the best overall performance.

• If corner placement sound excessively boomy, then try moving the subwoofer to other available locations along the front stage, listening for the best balance of output and a smooth accurate response.
• Always redo the auto-set-up of your AV receiver after moving the subwoofer to a different location to ensure the acoustic distance and calibration level are set correctly.

• To maximize the bass output and impact of your home theater, two PB-2000s can be paired; one on either side of your room.

• If this switch is set to "Auto/Standby", it will automatically turn-on the powered subwoofer in the presence of an audio signal.
• If no signal is present for a period of several minutes, the powered subwoofer will enter "Standby" mode, where power consumption will be less than 0.5 watts.
• If this switch is set to "On", the amplifier will remain on continuously and will not enter "Standby" mode.

• The power status light is located on the front-panel of the powered subwoofer in the upper left corner.
• The light will illuminate blue when the amplifier is on. The light will illuminate red when the amplifier is in standby mode.

• When in standby mode, the powered sub's trigger input (3.5mm) can be used to automatically turn on the powered subwoofer if a signal is sent to this input from another component in the system (like your AV receiver) that features a trigger output.
