Description

The SB16-Ultra’s massive 16″ woofer weighs 56 lbs! Potent, precise bass to thrill music and movie lovers The SB16-Ultra is SVS’s flagship sealed-box subwoofer. Whether your entertainment tastes run to Hollywood mayhem or traditional jazz, this sub’s way with low frequencies combines audiophile-pleasing accuracy and musicality with mind-boggling power. This heroic design uses a high-output 16″ driver and a smart 1500-watt amplifier, for effortless handling of even the most demanding bass passages in your favorite music and movies. Three major innovations The SB16-Ultra features the biggest driver ever used in an SVS subwoofer. This lightweight yet rigid 16″ cone is connected to an 8″ edge-wound voice coil – the largest we’ve ever heard of in a consumer subwoofer. Large cones are by nature difficult to control, but that oversized voice coil ensures accurate frequency response and quick transients, for bass that never sounds “slow” or boomy. It takes serious electronic muscle to power and control such a massive woofer cone, and the built-in Sledge STA-1500D amplifier is more than up to the task. Unlike many Class D amps, this one’s discrete MOSFET outputs can deliver incredible amounts of current, helping it push that 16″ woofer to extreme levels of performance. Keeping all this power under control is an advanced Analog Devices digital signal processor. The third big innovation puts precise control over the SB16-Ultra at your fingertips. SVS’s smartphone app gives you total control from your Apple? or Android? device. It handles all DSP functions and conveniently stores custom presets. For added convenience, 2-way feedback shows updates in real time on both the app and subwoofer display, and built-in Bluetooth? allows adjustments to be made even when the subwoofer is not in sight. You can also control the sub via the intuitive front-panel display, or with the supplied remote. Brains to match all that brawn The SB16-Ultra’s on-board tools for fine-tuning the soun
