Product Description
Reference Subwoofer Performance, Redefined Once Again
The 2000 Pro Series replaces the most popular SVS subwoofers ever created, and true to SVS philosophy, they aren’t incremental updates—they’re complete redesigns. Every aspect delivers a substantial leap forward from the original 2000 Series, offering astonishingly deep bass extension, powerful output, and remarkable musical precision. For the first time, true reference-level subwoofer performance is available at this price point from a cabinet of this size—something previously unheard of.
At the core is a refined sealed enclosure paired with a new 12-inch high-excursion SVS driver and the advanced Sledge STA-550D DSP amplifier. Together, they produce deeper bass and more room-filling output than typically expected from such compact dimensions, effortlessly commanding any listening space.
Designed for both audiophile music systems and immersive home theater setups, the SB-2000 Pro sets new performance benchmarks in its class while outperforming many significantly larger subwoofers. Convenient control is provided through the SVS Subwoofer DSP smartphone app, available for Apple, Android, and Amazon devices, allowing easy access to volume, DSP functions, and custom presets for music, movies, gaming, and more.
Stunning Output and Deep Bass with Absolute Precision
Borrowing technology from the award-winning SVS 16-Ultra Series, the SB-2000 Pro delivers breathtaking output and low-frequency extension without sacrificing accuracy or control. Its sealed cabinet design blends the most advanced SVS subwoofer engineering with new innovations, establishing a new standard for performance based on both cabinet size and value.
All-New 12-Inch High-Excursion SVS Driver
At the heart of the SB-2000 Pro is a completely redesigned 12-inch SVS driver engineered for powerful, articulate bass with exceptional speed and accuracy. A lightweight aluminum vented cone, combined with a composite fiber dustcap, produces room-shaking output while maintaining precise control—even at extreme listening levels.
A massive dual ferrite magnet motor assembly generates extraordinary magnetic force, enabling extreme excursion with minimal distortion and effortless bass extension below 20 Hz. The proprietary long-throw parabolic surround allows deep, tactile bass while preserving long-term driver reliability. Enhanced thermal management and a dual-layer voice coil ensure consistent linear performance with reduced distortion and power compression, even during demanding playback.
Sledge STA-550D Amplifier – Power with Total Authority
The Sledge STA-550D amplifier is engineered to unlock the full potential of the 12-inch driver, delivering effortless power and precise command. It combines the efficiency of a Class D design with fully discrete MOSFET output stages capable of moving enormous current, ensuring exceptional real-world performance in any room.
A sophisticated 50 MHz Analog Devices Audio DSP—the most advanced ever used in an SVS subwoofer—maintains pristine sound quality and pinpoint accuracy. Custom-tuned frequency response curves allow the SB-2000 Pro to fully pressurize a room with clean, impactful bass while offering advanced in-room tuning and DSP controls.
SVS Subwoofer Smartphone App – Total Control Made Simple
The SVS Subwoofer DSP app provides the easiest and most intuitive way to manage subwoofer performance. Users can adjust volume, crossover settings, polarity, room gain, and a three-band parametric EQ directly from their listening position. Three customizable presets allow one-touch optimization for music, movies, gaming, and more.
Bluetooth connectivity ensures full control even when the subwoofer is out of sight, while bi-directional feedback displays real-time changes on both the app and the rear-panel interface. Advanced options include naming the subwoofer, selecting standby modes, and restoring factory settings—giving users complete control over every aspect of performance.
