Subwoofers — SVS Sound PC-2000 Pro

The PC-2000 Pro belongs to the SVS Sound 2000 Pro series as a large active subwoofer, built in a cylindrical cabinet for deep bass extension. SVS Sound specialises in subwoofers and sells direct to consumers. The cylindrical PC models sit alongside the conventional box-shaped PB series in the catalogue, offering broadly similar performance in a different cabinet form, while the SB-2000 Pro is a smaller sealed design.

Key specs that matter

SVS quotes 16 Hz to 290 Hz, reaching very low frequencies while extending unusually high at the top. Power comes from an internal 550 W amplifier. The cabinet measures 87.2 x 42.2 cm and weighs 21.5 kg.

Engineering and use context

Such a wide window leaves plenty of room when choosing where the main speakers hand over to the sub. The upright cylinder takes up less floor area than a box of similar volume. The model is aimed at home theatre systems.

Pairing

Any AV receiver or processor that has a subwoofer output can drive it, through either the line-level or the speaker-level connections.

Alternatives

The SVS PC-4000 is a larger cylindrical subwoofer for even greater output.
