SVS PC4000 Cylinder-Style Powered Subwoofer

 SVS has crafted an excellent solution for those of us that crave visceral, chest-thumping bass, but are limited in available floor space. The massive PC-4000 adds to the company's popular line of super-cool cylinder-style subwoofers.

Though it might pass as a high-tech hot water heater at a glance, this 92-pound low-frequency titan offers a host of sound technologies that help provide outstanding bass from anywhere in your room. 

An excellent choice for movies, music, and video game immersion

 The beauty of the PC-4000 is its relatively modest footprint. Its tall, slender enclosure houses a down-firing 13-1/2" woofer and 1,200 watt amplifier, which combine for bass output all the way down to 17 Hz (that's dipping into subsonic territory — bass you feel but can't hear).

The PC-4000 isn't only about shaking the walls, though it does it with ease. SVS has ensured it offers impressive control for such a large, ported enclosure. Use the PC-4000 with confidence as part of a high-performance stereo, home theater, or ultra-high-end gaming system.

 

 You'll find the PC-4000 simple to operate and control. There's no reaching behind it to fumble with hard-to-see dials and switches. Instead, make settings changes right from the front-panel interface — or easier still, the included IR remote control.

You can also control this sub via a free app on your phone, which lets you select your room's layout, change audio settings, and switch modes right from your seat. 

SVS knows that a sub's performance is largely determined by the acoustics of your room, and your subwoofer's position within it. Thankfully, this sub doesn't have to be wrangled into a single "sweet spot" in your room. It offers a host of sound adjustments that let you get great sound wherever it's located.

Use the app to adjust crossover frequencies, parametric EQ settings, polarity, room gain, and other bass management functions. You can even save up to three groups of tailored settings as presets. These let you set up and switch between "listening modes" for a particular time of day or entertainment source. For instance, you can easily dial the bass down for nighttime listening.
