What’s in the box?

First off, it’s a big box, measuring 630mm x 633mm x 757mm. Wanna know the weight? A shipping weight of 61.7Kg and an unboxed weight of 56.25Kg. We had quiet the unboxing party. We have no images of that. Sorry. In the box you’ll find the subwoofer, power cord, grille and a registration card.

Closer look?

The 17-inch glass fiber composite cone with SVS logo on it really dominates the front view. In the 4 corners you can find the holes to attach the grille. If you look close enough you can see 2 small rubber feet that help carry the weight and keep the sub in position while in operation.

In the middle of the back, we find a rectangle module that contains all connections and physical control functions. From top to bottom: a tiny display, 3 menu control buttons (up, down and select), a USB-A socket that functions as a SVS Soundpatch Wireless Audio Adapter, trigger input, IR output, 2 RCA line level inputs with LFE channel, balanced XLR in- and outputs, power switch and power socket.

Features?

The SVS SB17-Ultra R|Evolution subwoofer boasts a 17-inch high-excursion driver with dual 8-inch voice coils, powered by a 2800W RMS dual mono-block Class-D amplifier with MOSFET output stages. It delivers precise bass down to 15Hz, managed by a 295MHz Analog Devices DSP. The SVS Subwoofer Control Smartphone App offers the most convenient way to control all DSP functions, including volume, 6-band parametric EQ, low pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain, system settings, custom presets and auto room EQ. Features include a lightweight, rigid cone, a 25Kg toroidal ferrite motor, and a catenary SBR rubber surround for flawless motion. The sealed double thick MDF cabinet and rigid internal bracing ensures resonance-free sound. Additional perks: a switch-mode power supply for consistent performance, all in a sleek Piano Gloss Black or Black Oak finish.

I was playing vinyl when I was 3 years old. There was a song from the Rubettes that I liked a lot "Sugar Baby Love". My mother still cherishes the photo of me spinning that record! The audiophile was born. As an adult the video enthusiast in me woke up, making professional corporate movies. Here, at "Best of high end", I can indulge my audiovisual senses.
