Effortless Output from High-Excursion 15-inch SVS Driver
The most formidable, ported cabinet subwoofer driver in its class features all-new dual edge wound voice coils, suspension, basket, and extreme-excursion surround to achieve visceral sound pressure levels with pinpoint accuracy.
- Lightweight and rigid 15-inch glass fiber composite cone with optimal stiffness-to-mass ratio for maximum efficiency and acoustic linearity
- Two-piece toroidal ferrite electromagnetic motor generates massive force with precise control, remaining authoritative yet detailed and controlled
- Extreme-excursion catenary SBR surround maintains pure, long-throw pistonic driver motion
Unerring Control from Dual Edge Wound Voice Coils
Precision engineered dual edge wound voice coils ensure stable transfer of electro-magnetic current to the 15-inch driver for authoritative output and exacting driver control.
- Six-layer bi-filar dual voice coils conduct the massive power from the dual-mono amplifier to the motor with maximum thermal efficiency, resulting in effortless acoustic output
- Flat edge wound aluminum voice coil wire maximizes density for optimal magnetic field strength and thermal capacity
Dual Mono STA-2000D Amplifier Design with Discrete MOSFET Output
A revolutionary new amplifier platform with technology adapted from the flagship SVS subwoofers. Rated conservatively at 2,000 Watts Continuous, 5,000+ Watts Peak, the innovative design maximizes driver potential with refined behavior and pristine response at any volume.
- High Current Output of Fully Discrete MOSFET transistors with efficiency of Class D Amplifier generates immense sonic force with precise control for outstanding real-world performance at all volumes.
- Each monoblock amp drives one of the dual three-inch voice coils within the motor to assert pinpoint control and maximize power fed to the driver
- Eight 60 Amp 200 Volt MOSFET transistors deliver extreme high current for reference-level output with maximum efficiency
Performance Enhancing Switch Mode Power Supply
Regardless of the power coming out of your household circuit, the PB-5000 R|Evolution always maintains peak performance and remains impervious to voltage fluctuations.
- Onboard AC line conditioner filters and stabilizes incoming voltage, corrects waveform distortions, and eliminates electromagnetic and radio interferences to optimize signal quality and audio performance
- Ensures clean and consistent 160V rail voltage and optimal power delivery from a standard 15-amp home circuit
- Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) time aligns the AC voltage to the AC current resulting in less heat, greater efficiency, reliable peak power output, and the ability to maintain rated power over a wide-range of voltages
- FEA optimized convection cooling system has no exterior heatsinks, an extraordinary feat for such a powerful amplifier
Extreme Subwoofer Intelligence – 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP
Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most sophisticated DSP ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer.
- Accurately shapes in-room frequency response with absolute precision for faithful signal reproduction
- Monitors every function of the amplifier to stabilize AC voltage delivery to the power supply to maintain consistent peak output
- Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensure maximum output and efficiency
- Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) with 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity
SVS Subwoofer Smartphone Control App
