Designed to deliver room-shaking bass with exceptional clarity and precision, the SB-5000 R Evolution sets new standards for subwoofers.

Its advanced features, including a high-excursion 15-inch driver and powerful amplification, create an immersive sound experience that can be appreciated in both music and movies. With its sealed cabinet design, this subwoofer guarantees deep, musical bass that impresses even the most discerning listeners.

Whether you're seeking heart-pounding cinematic effects or smooth, controlled bass for music, the SVS SB-5000 R Evolution promises to exceed expectations.

Powerful and Refined Low-Frequency Output

At the heart of the SVS SB-5000 R Evolution Subwoofer lies an all-new 15-inch high-excursion driver designed for effortless, precise low-frequency output. This driver is powered by a dual-mono amplifier with discrete MOSFET transistors, providing a continuous power output of 2,000 Watts and a peak of over 5,000 Watts.

The dual-edge wound voice coils deliver maximum thermal efficiency, ensuring stable, distortion-free performance even at extreme volumes. Capable of reaching frequencies as low as 17Hz, the SB-5000 R Evolution can easily pressurize a room with deep bass while maintaining impeccable control.

The result is a subwoofer that is not only powerful but also remarkably accurate, making it ideal for both audiophiles and home theater fans seeking a truly immersive experience.

Advanced Amplification and Power Management

The SVS SB-5000 R Evolution’s amplification system is a true engineering marvel. Powered by a dual-monoblock STA-2000D amplifier with Class D efficiency, this system delivers extreme output with precision. The amplifier employs eight high-current MOSFET transistors to drive the dual voice coils, ensuring maximum efficiency and stability.

The inclusion of a switch-mode power supply helps maintain optimal power delivery, even with fluctuations in the household voltage. With a robust 160V rail voltage, this subwoofer delivers reliable peak performance without distortion.

The system also benefits from power factor correction, which reduces heat, improves efficiency, and ensures consistent performance across a wide range of voltages. This intelligent power management ensures that the SVS SB-5000 R Evolution delivers exceptional sonic performance at any volume level.

Cutting-Edge DSP for Unmatched Precision

One of the standout features of the SVS SB-5000 R Evolution Subwoofer is its use of a 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP, the most sophisticated processor ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer. This powerful DSP orchestrates the subwoofer’s driver, motor, and amplifier to provide ultra-precise frequency response.

It continuously monitors the system, adjusting for factors like voltage fluctuations, temperature changes, and current flow to maintain optimal performance. This real-time adjustment ensures that the subwoofer performs at its best under any conditions, delivering deep bass with minimal distortion.

Additionally, the DSP enhances signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring clear, high-fidelity sound across a broad dynamic range. This level of sophistication sets the SB-5000 R Evolution apart from other subwoofers in its class.

SVS Subwoofer Smartphone Control App

The SVS SB-5000 R Evolution takes user convenience to the next level with its smartphone control app, which allows for easy tuning and adjustments from the comfort of your favorite seat. Compatible with iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire platforms, the app provides full control over volume, phase, polarity, low pass filters, and more.

It even includes six parametric equalizers and room gain compensation to fine-tune the sound to your room’s acoustics. Additionally, the app features three memory presets for fast access to custom settings, whether you’re listening to music, watching movies, or just want to reduce bass levels for night listening.

This level of customization makes it easier than ever to achieve your desired sound, all with the touch of a button.

Robust and Acoustically Inert Design

The SVS SB-5000 R Evolution Subwoofer features a sealed, rigidly braced cabinet design that contributes to its tight, musical bass and reduces unwanted resonance. The internal design includes a double-thick 2-inch MDF front baffle, along with reinforced bracing and acoustic insulation, ensuring that no coloration or distortion is introduced to the sound.

The non-resonant ABS grille frame and fabric mesh cover protect the driver while allowing for optimal performance. The custom elastomer feet reduce vibrations and noise artifacts within the room, ensuring the subwoofer performs without interference.

This high-quality construction ensures that the SVS SB-5000 R Evolution delivers flawless sound that remains free of distortion, even when reproducing the deepest, most demanding low frequencies.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do you have a real store?

Yes! We have a store set in a quaint location with plenty of parking even for HGV's! We have a dedicated demonstration room for Headphones/portable audio, 2 channel HiFi and one of the most advanced home cinema rooms in the country.

Can I home demonstrate products?

In most cases yes. Simply contact us with your requirements and if it's on the shop floor - we can arrange a home demonstration.

Do you ship from store?

In most cases yes. We have a store front with products such as cables and smaller products physically to hand. We also have a dedicated warehouse a few minutes away with over 1200sq m of products stored. Some products are shipped direct from manufacturers - as it's not practical / cost effective to store every variant of every product. We are very efficient at stock management however.

Can I return a product?

Yes! So long as it's new/unused and in the same condition it was delivered to you, we will gladly refund you up to 14 days from purchase. Please raise a request via your Account area to start the return process.

Do you offer installation?

Absolutely - we have a dedicated, in-house team of installers who travel the UK installing lovely hifi and home cinema solutions. Contact us to discuss pricing.
