SB1000 Pro Subwoofer Black Ash

A very very good subwoofer I don’t normally do reviews but I had to this time. Firstly the convenience you can now just sit and adjust the sub from an app on your phone which is a big leak forward when you’re sat in a movie or listening to music often the mix changes that you can just adjust it instantly also unlike ported systems base is very tight !’ it also looks so smart a lot smarter than the previous DALI. I had decided to stop working on 10 years very happy with this highly recommended

I was a little wary of diving into subwoofer world, as I don't want to play bulging movie soundtracks through it, but extend the bass response of my hi-fi speakers (floor-standing Mission 763s from the 1990s). This compact little unit (just over a foot cubed) tucks neatly out of the way, but effortlessly adds just the right amount of bass in my ~5m x 4m living room. The SVS app (free to download from Apple and Android/Google Play stores) is great, enabling the cutover frequency to be set (so the subwoofer doesn't end up doubling the bass from your existing speakers and thus causing a boomy sound). It has so many parameters that can be adjusted but, as the very helpful SVS support engineer said, "Trust your ears". When you do that, it's quite straightforward to get it sounding really good. Perfect for classical, rock, synth-pop... you name it (including heavy metal, hard rock... or so I'm told - not my thing personally). What really won me over pre-purchase was the statement in the brochure for the SB-1000 Pro: "The subwoofer should add to the sound without unnecessarily drawing attention to itself". Just what I wanted, and just what the SB-1000 Pro does!

This is an awesome piece of kit! I got this to compliment my KEF LSX II speakers and it did not disappoint. My wife was less thrilled to find it vibrated a decorative window we have leading to our porch. The App works well, very handy to be able to adjust it without getting on my hands and knees and going back and forth to check the adjustments. This was the smallest 12 inch sub I could find, much smaller than any others I liked at. Not sure you could call it tiny, until you compare with others with the same size cone. Very pleased, looks good for a black box and is very solid.

Arrived well packed an was easy to set up, basically plug in and play. I am not a home cinema expert so I was glad that the default settings on the speaker were ideal for my system which is a Denon 2600h and 5 Kef egg speakers. The remote control is very easy to work with and all in all I am very happy with the addition of the SVS sub woofer.

Absolutely love this subwoofer, the sound is great and it isn't boomy.

Very good sub, tight and crisp, but lacks the feel or hit of a ported sub (exchanged for a PB2000)

This sub hits a low freq of 20hz and absolutely rumbles the room during movies and music that has some low bass lines. It's good quality bass, not boomy at all and highs, mids and lows are well balanced. I only have it set to around 60% gain, with a 5.1 yamaha setup and it fills our large lounge room very well. Positioning is key as it is with any sub so I would absolutely ignore any comments on its underwhelming power as anybody that states this has clearly set the sub up incorrectly. Use the app, position it well, hook it up to a good quality setup and it will impress instantly. Tweaking and positioning will make all the difference though as mentioned. Overall a Fantastic sub for around the £500 Mark. A well priced premium quality subwoofer.

The app for the speaker allows considerable adjustments to be made to the sound so that it can be readily set up to suit your existing speakers. It can be independently altered for volume, crossover frequency, parametric equalisation, phase etc. It also comes with some useful presets for music or movies so you can start with their settings and tailor them to suit. I bought it to add bass to my Opera Grand Mezza speakers, it has definitely strengthened the bottom end by providing some real punch. You can now feel the bass which was distinctly lacking from the Opera speakers when playing rock music. Well worth getting.

I have been cobbling an upgraded audio system in my media room and purchased a couple of the SVS SB1000s to place in opposite corners of the room. It has been an amazing upgrade. Bass no longer comes from a single direction, it now mixes so much better with the speakers and fills the room. Going down to 20hz means the room is still rumbling well below what you can actually hear. It adds so much gravitas to movies and music. The app really the most amazing feature, getting it all just right fine tuning with so many different parameters. All in real time, and from the preferred listening position. Comparatively speaking, it is great value for money. You will be hard pressed to find a better proposition than what SVS offers with their subwoofer range. And this is just the the entry level product! So easy to install, and compatible with most systems, you really cant go wrong with this subwoofer. Having 2 subs also meant I didnt have to decide on whether to keep the grill on or off. They look amazing both ways, so I kept one on and one off. Beautiful. 100% recommended.

Bueno en general, hay aplicacion para el movil y hacer ajustes de sonido. Potente, buen sonido. Tengo otro subwoofer yamaha de 100w y en comparacion es mas potente, pero no mucho mas bueno en cambio hay mucha diferencia de precio. Para una habitacion de hasta 40 metros cuadrados el yamaha va bien por 200euros si necesitas mas, este es mas potente

I like the control of several parameters via software app. This gives a lot of control at your fingertips. I downloaded RAW software and bought its recommended calibrated microphone. Now I am experimenting to optimize the sound. Being a sealed subwoofer, the output is short tailed and controlled. The power is sufficient. Not fancy as the KEF's but very competitively priced.

Produit tip top. Graves profonds. De la puissance. Les infras sont bleufantes

KEF LSX II LTを使用しているが、低音を補強するためSVS SB-1000 Proを導入した。 接続は簡単で、LSX II LT背面のサブウーハー端子（「S」表示）とSVS SB-1000 Pro背面のLFE端子を、RCAケーブル1本で接続するだけである。ケーブルは付属していないため、AmazonベーシックのRCAスピーカーケーブル（サブウーハーケーブル）を別途購入した。SVSアプリの設定は迅速で、Bluetooth接続後すぐに調整を開始できる。 設定については、KEFアプリ（日本語表記）でサブウーハー出力を有効にし、ハイパス周波数とローパス周波数を、ともに80Hzに設定した。この設定により、LSX II LTの低域負担を軽減し、80Hz以下を自然な形でSB-1000 Proに任せることができる。操作性は直感的である。 サブウーハーの音量調整はKEFアプリからも行えるが、SVSアプリ（英語表記）を使うとより細かな調整が可能で、こちらも操作性は直感的である。なお、本体背面には物理ボタンもおり、状況によってはアプリを使わずに運用することも可能だと思われる（この点は、アプリ依存度が高いLSX II LTとは性格が異なる）。 使用時は、低音の存在を主張させない程度にボリュームをおさえている。それでもサブウーハーを追加すると、音像がそれぞれ異なる位置から立ち上がるように感じられる。低音に厚みを持たせているにもかかわらず、低音以外の音が際立って聞こえる。高解像度の世界が現れたという感想である。 なお、海外の通販サイトB&Hでは599ドル（送料・関税等は別）で販売されているが、私は手軽さを優先してAmazonで購入した。輸入品のため、手元に届くまで一定の期間を要するのが留意点だ。
