With a 50 MHz Analog Devices Audio DSP, Bluetooth smartphone app control, and bass extension below 20 Hz, the SB-2000 Pro delivers reference-grade sealed subwoofer performance from a footprint that fits virtually any room. It was recognized with the EISA Home Theatre Subwoofer Award 2020-2021.

All-New 12-Inch High-Excursion Driver: Heart-Pounding Bass with Subtlety and Finesse

The heart of the SB-2000 Pro is a completely redesigned 12-inch SVS driver engineered specifically for the 2000 Pro platform. A lightweight aluminum vented cone with a composite fiber dustcap maintains an exceptional stiffness-to-mass ratio, enabling room-energizing SPLs at all drive levels without sacrificing pistonic accuracy. The dual ferrite magnet motor assembly, weighing over 15 lbs, generates the magnetic force required for deep, controlled excursion well below 20 Hz with vanishingly low distortion. A long-throw parabolic surround produced via proprietary injection molding enables extreme driver movement while maximizing drive unit longevity, and a dual-layer voice coil design minimizes both distortion and power compression at full excursion. An aluminum pole piece extension completes the driver with optimized thermal management, ensuring consistent output during sustained high-level listening sessions.

Sledge STA-550D Amplifier and 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP

The Sledge STA-550D amplifier combines Class D efficiency with fully discrete MOSFET output stages to deliver massive current reserves without compromise. Conservatively rated at 550 watts RMS and over 1,500 watts peak, it drives the 12-inch SVS driver to its absolute potential with effortless power and surgical precision at every drive level. Managing this system is the 50 MHz Analog Devices Audio DSP with 56-bit filtering, which applies frequency response curves tuned specifically for the SB-2000 Pro sealed cabinet to maintain accuracy and control from the deepest bass through the crossover region. The result is a compact sealed subwoofer that delivers room-filling low-frequency output well beyond what its dimensions suggest, competing directly with larger, more expensive ported designs from rivals such as the Yamaha NS-SW300, the Polk Audio HTS 12, and the Bowers and Wilkins ASW610.

SVS Subwoofer Smartphone App and Acoustically Inert Sealed Cabinet

The SVS Subwoofer Smartphone App is the entry point for the 2000 Pro Series and makes the SB-2000 Pro the most accessible SVS subwoofer to feature Bluetooth DSP control. Compatible with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms, the app provides full control of volume, low-pass filter frequency and slope, phase, polarity, room gain compensation, and a three-band parametric equalizer with per-Hz frequency precision. Three custom presets allow one-touch recall of optimized settings for movies, music, and gaming, while bidirectional feedback displays all adjustments in real time on both the app and the rear-panel Intelligent Control Interface. The sealed MDF cabinet features an extra-thick front baffle with extensive internal bracing and acoustic insulation to eliminate resonance at any drive level. Custom iso-elastomer feet and a non-resonant ABS grille with fabric mesh complete a build quality that punches well above the SB-2000 Pro's price class.
