ℹ Product Information
SVS SB16-Ultra Subwoofer
The SVS SB16-Ultra Subwoofer is not your average subwoofer. It combines formidable power with unmatched precision, delivering tranquil strength that is perfect for those who demand thunderous bass and flawless sound reproduction. Revolutionizing subwoofer technology, the SB16-Ultra offers massive output levels, extraordinary low-frequency extension, near-flawless frequency responsiveness, and precise transient response, making it the most uncompromising subwoofer on the market.
Product Features & Benefits
- Unprecedented 16-inch Ultra Driver: The massive Ultra Driver, with its industry-leading 8-inch edge-wound voice coil, delivers superb control, accuracy, and extremely low distortion. It provides ultra-low power compression and excellent transient response, never sounding boomy even at higher volumes.
- Potent Sledge STA-1500D DSP Amplifier: With a continuous power output of 1,500 watts and peaking over 5,000 watts, this advanced amplifier ensures high fidelity and uncompromised audio performance. The fully discrete MOSFET output results in precise control and superior handling of the immense amplifier power.
- Advanced Smartphone App for Easy Control: Use the convenient app, compatible with both Apple and Android devices, to control all DSP functions and fine-tune your bass levels from your seat. It also allows you to store custom presets and provides real-time 2-way feedback.
- Impressive Cabinet Design: The robust and acoustically inert cabinet can handle high levels of sonic energy, thanks to the double-thick MDF front baffle and rigid bracing. This ensures zero distortion or resonance even at reference sound pressure levels.
- Enhanced Frequency Response: With a frequency response of 16-460 Hz +/- 3 dB, the SB16-Ultra takes advantage of room gain to deliver deep and precise bass reproduction across a wide range.
- Premium Look and Feel: Choose between Black Oak and Piano Gloss Black finishes to complement any room decor, adding elegance and style.
- Fiberglass Resin Composite Cone: The lightweight and resilient 16-inch Ultra driver cone is made from superior fiberglass resin composite, offering an ideal stiffness-to-mass ratio. This allows maximum displacement of air and sonic energy without any distortion or loss of control.
