The front of the subwoofer is dominated by a single 12 inch driver. It’s a sealed subwoofer, meaning there are no additional open ports. These types of ports give you greater power at the expense of control and detail, and if that does sound like something you are interested in, then SVS do make a ported version of the subwoofer, the PB-1000 Pro. We haven’t tested this model yet, so we can’t do a comparison, but we can say that it has the same aesthetic as its sealed brother. Subwoofers can often be unnecessarily eye-catching; thanks to their size, they are often the focal point of any room you put them in. That’s not the case here. The SB-1000 Pro is well-designed without being obtrusive. We test subwoofers rigorously, and part of that is seeing how they respond to demanding movies and videogames. We gave the SB-1000 Pro the full rundown, including inserting it into a large Dolby Atmos home theater setup, and it responded exceptionally well.

It is made of the medium-density fiberboard, which makes this unit affordable and also facilitates in improving overall acoustic performance. With the LFE input connection, there is no need to make any adjustments; it doesn’t matter whether you are opting for 2-channel or surround sound listening. The rear-panel SVS Intelligent Control Interface (ICI) provides control options and connections for the subwoofer’s most critical functions. How has SVS managed to get so much bass out of a sealed cabinet so compact and so affordable? Steve Withers falls in love with the SB-1000 Pro

SVS SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer Review

Once the receiver is connected successfully, set the phase control to zero and turn the volume up only 50% to test and make sure everything is properly equalized. Its front panel is 1″ MDF while other panels are .75″ MDF. The SVS company has designed its cabinets with damping material. They are two inches in size and stapled in place. Variable port tuning modes with customized frequency response curves for “Standard” and “Sealed” allow tuning for maximum output or deep bass extension and transient speed.

For instance, when it comes to ‘Metal’, it produces amazing intensity and ferocious sound which is the essence of the Metal genre. You experience the strong presence of the beats in each song. Since, for absolute best sound, the placement of the SB-1000 subwoofer plays an important role. For example, if you put it in the corner, the sound can be excessively boomy.Multiple innovations were deployed in the high-excursion 12-inch SVS SB-1000 Pro driver to ensure massive subwoofer performance from a relatively compact cabinet. Advances to the cone, surround, voice coil, and motor assembly maximize excursion for room-energizing SPLs at the lowest frequencies, with precision and control. SVS used multiple innovations for the high-excursion 12-inch driver to achieve a massive sub performance, considering it’s small construction. There are advances to the cone, surround, voice coil and motor assembly that improve the SPL at the lowest frequencies. The cabinet, sealed design is excellent for keeping the sound tight. It doesn’t let it blast or boom unnecessarily and keeps the distortion to a minimum, unlike the SVS PB1000 which is a ported box design. Conclusion If you compare its sound with the PB-1000, we agree, SVS PB-1000 probably has more presence and it shows more depth than SB-1000, however, when it comes to diversity, it isn’t great like SB-1000 model. With an insignificant foot and small driver, SVS SB-1000 wins the competition. It accomplishes the same task in many ways; every genre has its special feeling.
