About the SVS SB-17 Ultra Subwoofer

Product Description

SB17-Ultra R|Evolution

A quantum leap forward in design and performance with multiple groundbreaking innovations - the most formidable and sophisticated sealed subwoofer ever developed.

All-new 17-inch driver with first-ever dual 8-inch voice coils. The most powerful amplifier ever deployed in a consumer subwoofer with unprecedented dual mono-block design married to the extreme intelligence of a 295MHz DSP. All managed by the most sophisticated subwoofer control app, now with auto EQ room correction (available soon via over-the-air update).

Born from three decades of SVS design expertise, SB17-Ultra R|Evolution is the pinnacle of subwoofer performance. A massive 17-inch driver with first ever dual 8-in voice coils driven by the most powerful amplifier ever deployed in a consumer subwoofer with DSP intelligence far beyond anything available. All married to advanced power management and auto EQ room correction. The benchmark for reference subwoofer experiences has arrived.

Breathtaking low frequencies with unerring accuracy, musicality, and stop-on-a-dime control. The deep, chest-thumping slam of cinematic soundtracks and the delicate nuance of musical bass always rendered truthfully.

Whether heard or felt, low frequencies are handled effortlessly without sacrificing sonic fidelity and refinement. With extension to 15 Hz, far below the threshold of human hearing SB17-Ultra R|Evolution brings sound to life with convincing, visceral, and jaw-dropping impact.

High-Excursion 17-Utra R | Evolution Driver
17-inch glass fibre composite cone with 55 lb torodial ferrite magnet motor assembly render massive low frequency output down to 15Hz with pinpoint accuracy and control.

8-inch Dual Voice Coils
Dual voice coil design ensures stable and consistent transfer of motor electro-magnetic energy to the 17-inch cone to maintain precise driver control with maximum efficiency.

Dual Mono Amplifier
Each of the two Class-D mono-block amplifier with MOSFET output stages drives one of the dual voice coils to double the amount of current being fed to the driver achieving effortless output with lower continuous current demand from a home's AC circuit.

Switch Mode Power Supply
Time aligns the AC voltage to the AC current while filtering and stabilising incoming voltage to optimise signal quality and audio performance.

295 MHz Analogue Devices DSP
The most advanced processor ever used in a consumer subwoofer optimises every aspect of subwoofer output and usability to maintain flawless performance and intuitive control.

SVS Subwoofer Control Smartphone App
Most convenient way to control all DSP functions, including: volume, 6-band parametric equaliser, low pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain, port tuning, system settings, custom presets, and auto room EQ.

Acoustically Tuned Sealed Cabinet Design
Sealed cabinet with double thick MDF and rigid internal bracing creates a resonance-free environment for pitch-perfect accuracy free from resonances and colouration.

Effortless Output from High-Excursion 17-inch SVS Driver
It was a ground-up process designing the largest, most formidable driver ever deployed in an SVS subwoofer. An all-new dual voice coil, suspension, basket, and extreme-excursion surround achieve chest-compressing sound pressure levels with flawless tonal accuracy.

• Lightweight and rigid 17-inch glass fiber composite cone with optimal stiffness-to-mass ratio for maximum efficiency and acoustic linearity
• 55lb four-piece toroidal ferrite electromagnetic motor generates massive force with precise control, remaining authoritative yet detailed and controlled
• Extreme-excursion catenary SBR rubber surround maintains pure, long-throw pistonic driver motion

Unerring Control from Revolutionary Dual 8-inch Voice Coils
Unprecedented dual 8-inch voice coils ensure stable transfer of electro-magnetic current to the 17-inch driver for authoritative output and pinpoint driver control.

• 4-layer bi-filar dual voice coils conduct the massive power from the dual-mono amplifier to the motor with maximum thermal efficiency, resulting in effortless acoustic output
• Copper clad aluminium voice coil wire combines the best properties of both elements, yielding ideal thermal capacity and magnetic field strength

First Ever Dual Mono STA-2800D Amplifier Design with Discrete MOSFET Output
The sonic muscle behind the most powerful and highest fidelity SVS subwoofer amplifier ever developed. SB17-Ultra R|Evolution STA-2800D features technological innovations never offered before in a consumer subwoofer amplifier with breakthroughs to ensure refined behaviour and pristine response at any volume.

• Limitless headroom from dual mono-block Class-D amplifiers with MOSFET output stages
• Each amp drives one of the dual 8-inch voice coils within the motor to assert pinpoint control and maximise power fed to the driver
• Eight 60 Amp 200 Volt MOSFETs deliver extreme high current for reference-level output with maximum efficiency

Performance Enhancing Switch Mode Power Supply
Regardless of the power coming out of your household circuit, the SB17-Ultra R|Evolution always maintains peak performance and remains impervious to voltage fluctuations.

• Onboard AC line conditioner filters and stabilises incoming voltage, corrects waveform distortions, and eliminates electromagnetic and radio interferences to optimise signal quality and audio performance
• Ensures clean and consistent 160V rail voltage and optimal power delivery from a standard 15-amp home circuit
• Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) time aligns the AC voltage to the AC current resulting in less heat, greater efficiency, reliable peak power output, and the ability to maintain rated power over a wide-range of voltages
• FEA optimised convection cooling system has no exterior heatsinks, an extraordinary feat for such a powerful amplifier

Extreme Subwoofer Intelligence – 295 MHz Analogue Devices DSP
Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most sophisticated DSP ever deployed in a consumer subwoofer.

• Accurately shapes in-room frequency response with absolute precision for faithful signal reproduction
• Monitors every function of the amplifier to stabilise AC voltage delivery to the power supply to maintain consistent peak output
• Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensures maximum output and efficiency

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.
