SB-2000 Subwoofer Owner's Manual SB-2000 Subwoofer Quick Start Guide

The SVS SB-2000 achieves a staggering 19-240 Hz frequency response from a compact, sealed enclosure weighing only 35 lbs. and measuring roughly 15-inches all around. The subwoofer’s weight, compact footprint and understated but elegant appearance makes it easy to move and blend into any listening environment, without sacrificing any of the power and slam you’d expect from a massive subwoofer. No small performer, the SB-2000 beats the output levels of subwoofers twice its size and weight. An all-new driver and amplifier, sealed cabinet and revised tuning enable the SB-2000 to achieve levels of articulation, musicality, dynamics and fathomless extension unequaled in other compact powered subwoofers.

Commanding 12-Inch SVS High-Excursion Driver

12-Inch SVS High-Excursion Driver

At the heart of the SVS SB-2000 subwoofer is a newly engineered 12-inch 2000-series driver with dual high-grade ferrite magnets and an FEA-optimized motor for distortion-free performance, even at the most extreme drive levels. A reinforced Nomex spider was integrated for improved linearity and driver control, especially important when the STA-500D amp is pushing the driver to reference SPL playback levels. This ensures accurate frequency response with maximum impact. To ensure the SB-2000 can play its best long into the future, the driver also features a durable low-creep rubber long-throw surround and integrated tinsel leads to maximize longevity.

Powerful and Sophisticated Sledge STA-500D Amplifier

Sledge STA-500D Amplifier

The SB-2000 Subwoofer’s Sledge STA-500D DSP amplifier boasts specs and features normally found in subwoofers costing two or three times as much. Conservatively rated at 500 watts RMS and 1,100+ watts peak dynamic power, the amp also has brains to match its brawn. A sophisticated DSP in the amplifier includes an array of filters along with 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 behavior at the drive limits of the subwoofer system.

Sonically Inert and Rigidly Braced Cabinet

Rounded edges and a curved metal grille cover on the SB-2000 cabinet give it a refined look that blends visually with home theaters and high-end audio systems. Its sealed cabinet design features extensive internal bracing for the driver and motor to ensure an inert environment, resulting in tighter, more accurate bass with no coloration while maximizing on airflow and dynamic output potential.

    Excellent! Timely delivery, helpful phone assistance from SVS support personnel. I also called prior to my purchase and the rep was extremely helpful and the main reason I purchased the SVS sub.

    SVS SB-2000

    I bought my first 2000 in the outlet a month ago and it sounded so good I bought another. 2 SB2000's are really providing bass through the walls, floor, and I love it!!!

    Revised Review

    So, I wanted to update my review below after owning the second SB-2000 for a little bit but wasn't able - hence, this second review. First, I'm not an audiophile but I do enjoy a wide variety of music, and I like it LOUD. Let me just say that after finally taking some time with the miniDSP 2x4 HD to really flatten the response in our family room (which is quite challenging to compensate for; see pics) I am once again amazed at what these little dynamos are capable of! If you don't watch movies with Ultra-LFE (Marvel, Sci-Fi, etc.) or listen to bass-heavy EDM or Hip-Hop, a pair of these are just phenomenal. The way that they reproduce R&B, Jazz, Classic Rock, basically most music recorded without digital bass enhancement, can only be described as amazing (to my ears). They even give a physical sensation at my Main Listening Position, if only slightly.

    Honestly, the fact that I got them to blend seamlessly with tiny Klipsch Reference LCR and Monitor Audio Bronze FX Bi-pole surrounds deserves a hats-off to the engineers and designers at SVS. I don't even notice the transition from any channel to the subs at this point, whether in movies or music. The lowest frequencies aren't reproduced in many of the movies that I watch, or are reproduced with some distortion (probably due to me running them hot at 20 Hz via the miniDSP), but SVS never claimed that these would extend that low so I'm not at all disappointed; in fact, I've ordered a PC-4000 for that exact reason and can't…

    Great pair of subs, amazed with the punch.

    I just upgraded my home theater set up from basic Pioneer's Andrew Jones with a pair of 6" Klipsch's floor standing, matching center channel and surrounds, after doing my research on subs I came across the SB-2000 which is a sub of choice for music and was concerned with the performance in a home theater, well I went with them because my surround and tv are on the living room and wife wouldn't approve something "bulky" but I'm super satisfied with the performance of this subs, took my time to dial them and they sounded good at first but after a couple of weeks of movie watching and video game playing they started to sound even better and now they sound great, movie performance is way beyond of what I was expecting from a sealed sub, love the looks of them with the metal grill.

    SB-2000 - expectation exceeded

    I had a bottleneck in my main surround system with a Klipsch SW10 paired with my Infinity RS5s and matching center. The sub just didn’t match up to the performance of my existing setup. After searching around for replacement I settled on the SB-2000. This sub matches well and performs well beyond my expectations. I’m very impressed with customer service and love this sub. Highly recommend.
