SVS SB1000Pro Subwoofer

SVS SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer

The SVS SB-1000 Pro is a compact, sealed 12-inch powered subwoofer built to deliver deep, accurate bass down to 20Hz without needing a huge footprint. It pairs an all-new high-excursion SVS driver with the Sledge STA-325D amplifier (325W RMS / 820+W peak) and a sophisticated 50MHz Analog Devices DSP for tight control, fast transients, and room-energizing impact for both music and home theater. Dialing it in is refreshingly easy: use the rear-panel Intelligent Control Interface for core adjustments, or unlock deeper tuning with the SVS Subwoofer Smartphone App (Bluetooth)—including 3 custom presets, 3-band parametric EQ, phase, polarity, low pass, and room gain compensation from your seat. With strong output, precise detail, and an easy-to-place cabinet, the SB-1000 Pro is a high-performance upgrade that blends seamlessly into modern stereo and surround systems. The SVS SB-1000 Pro is part of ListenUp's SVS Sealed Subwoofers Collection.

SVS SB-1000 Pro Q&A:

Will the SB-1000 Pro work well for both music and movies?

Yes. The sealed design and DSP-driven amplifier control deliver tight, musical bass for stereo listening while still providing the depth and slam needed for home theater impact down to 20Hz.

How do you control and tune the SB-1000 Pro?

You can use the rear-panel control interface for quick adjustments, or use the SVS Subwoofer Smartphone App via Bluetooth to access advanced DSP features like presets, PEQ, phase, polarity, low pass filter, and room gain compensation.

What kind of inputs does it support?

It supports unbalanced RCA line-level inputs, speaker-level (high-level) stereo inputs, and a 3V–12V trigger input for automatic power control. It also includes RCA outputs for daisy-chaining or expanding to multiple subs.

Does it have an auto-on feature?

Yes. You can run it in Auto, On, or Trigger modes. In Auto mode, it enters standby after about 10 minutes with no audio signal.

How compact is the cabinet?

It’s designed for easy placement with dimensions of 13.5" H × 13" W × 14.76" D, while still delivering serious low-frequency output.

What tuning controls are available in the app?

The app includes 3 presets, a 3-band parametric EQ (with adjustable frequency/boost/Q), phase and polarity controls, low pass filter frequency and slope options, and room gain compensation to help smooth bass in smaller rooms.

Can I use two SB-1000 Pro subs together?

Yes. Dual subs can improve bass consistency across more seats and add headroom. The SB-1000 Pro includes RCA outputs that make it easy to integrate multiple subwoofers.

What comes in the box?

The subwoofer includes a protective ABS fabric mesh grille, iso-elastomer feet, a heavy-duty 6-foot power cord, and a Quick Start Guide.
