SB12-NSD

New standard in small sub performance.

Shipping world-wide from the SVS assembly team late September/early October 2010. Order now for pre-order pricing.

The SB12-NSD: Size still matters with subs. But with a new amp, new woofer, new cabinet and grill treatment... size matters less than ever. 2010 SVS Sealed Box subs won't replace our big vented Powered Boxes, nor the space saving Powered Cylinders. But the "SB" subs will largely replace every similarly sized sub at multiples of our factory direct pricing.

Making smaller, better, for less, was our approach with the earlier and well-regarded SB12-Plus micro sub. The magazines took notice, and it remained a great seller to the end. But the SB12-NSD is a whole new level of play.

Refresh on the SB12-NSD's predecessor, it went toe to toe with some very large competitors and more than held its own. Read the review here!

"... a small but very well engineered subwoofer.... the SVS was very impressive."

Ken Pohlmann, Sound and Vision Magazine.

Allow us to eliminate any doubt. This SB12-NSD is a better sub in every regard, save for some rarely needed features. It leaves what was a good sub far behind to what's unassailably the best anywhere close in price or size.

Start with just the front of this new sub. The stylish new powder-coated perforated mesh is made exclusively for us to insanely high fit and finish tolerances.

Looks, quality, performance are evident in every part of this sub.

It's no accident. At SVS we consistently use the best, NOT the least expensive suppliers when designing and building a new model. Be it the swanky grill, or the incredibly new amp technology, they are all results of 3 years of tireless work with the top audio suppliers around the world. Pick up a SB12-NSD grill, examine it close, and you'll see it has soft rubber grommets affixed to ensure quiet, resonance-free operation, even at high sound pressure levels. Precision metal work like we demonstrate is rare in today's audio industry.

Dig deeper and you'll see our latest generation, hand-built SVS 12" NSD woofer, and of course the new 400 watt DSP controlled amp with full crossover (defeatable), variable phase, custom finish and detachable power cord. Go ahead and compare this kind of quality with products at virtually any price. No surprise, the new Sledge™ amps have more guts, more control, more reliability. Fewer gimmicks, more beef. That they cost us more, and that SVS uses them anyway is just the sort of thing we're known for of course.

True story: Our staff TRIED to kill one of the early STA-400D samples and gave up during 2010 CES in Las Vegas. SVS's factory manager gave the SB12-NSD prototype 30 seconds' listen and made it quite clear "this was no SB12-Plus". And remember, we loved that old sub.

The latest NSD woofers use loads of Plus-derived woofer power, including the custom stamped basket. SVS woofers are only made by or exclusively for SVS under our engineers' supervision and QC.

Suffice it to say we've gotten over our first small sub's success, the departed SB12-Plus. Now with state of the art audio DSP, fine tuning from our engineers have blunted the impact of physics ... this new small subwoofer is so flat, so deep and so powerful you might even question why bigger subs exist.

Better than even we expected it to be, the SB12-NSD keeps the legendarily neutral and balanced SVS sound with flat response. And just under 14" on all sides with grill off. DSP guts, SVS woofers, slick new enclosures and grills. Pity the overpriced boutique subs.

Why a micro, a million small reasons. Performance is now one fewer.

SVS is one of the few brands that will tell you this: If you can "afford" one of our bigger subs... from the standpoint of the larger floor space requirement ... by all means, consider something of a similar price class, such as the PB12-NSD, or even one that's less expensive like the (large) new PB10-NSD.

If you need room rattling power, the ultimate depth, AND want a small footprint too? Then our exclusive space-saving Powered Cylinder subs should be on your short list to evaluate. Even if perfectly designed, no truly small sub like the SB12-NSD will compete with an equally well-designed large subwoofer (particularly if it's one of our super-efficient vented subwoofers such as those mentioned just above).

We can however outgun anything in the world of small subs when you consider both size and price. We'll be blunt, there is no sub that is less expensive that is better, and few in this size class half as good at twice the price. Try an SB12-NSD for 45 days and compare. Experience a sub 10 years in the making.

More about the SB12-NSD standout components as testing is completed in Ohio and elsewhere. Sold world-wide, only by SVS and exclusive resellers, there is never any mistaking an SVS for the real thing, much less mistaking it for some lesser brand.
