SVS PB12-PLUS 12" 2300W Ported Subwoofer (Black Oak)

Class-Leading Performance and Unparalleled Value Define the SVS Mid-Size Ported Subwoofer SVS PB12-NSD

Extreme Performance
With its generous cabinet size, triple high-flow ports, high-power amp, and heavy-duty woofer, the PB12-Plus has the power, headroom, and deep bass dynamics to easily handle the most demanding DVD passages at cinema playback levels in larger home theater rooms. Music is equally well-rendered – rock, jazz, pipe organ or classical – the PB12-Plus handles it all with accuracy and fidelity.


Plus-12 Driver – Rugged and Refined
The exclusive SVS Plus-12 woofer is now in its 5th generation of refinement, and is the finest transducer available at this price point. This driver is so overbuilt, our R&D engineers had to push it with over two-thousand watts before it even broke a sweat. And despite this ruggedness, the Plus-12 driver delivers exceptional linearity, low-distortion, and excellent detail.

• Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-optimized motor with copper shorting sleeve to reduce gap induction and distortion.
• Bifilar wound, 3" diameter, high-power aluminum voice coil.
• Dual linear-roll spiders and stitched parabolic surround for extreme excursion capability.
• Ultra-light and rigid composite cone provides excellent transient response.

Sledge Amplification – Intelligent and Sophisticated Power
The Sledge STA-800D amplifier is a perfect complement to the Plus-12 driver, delivering 800 watts of clean DSP-controlled power. Comprehensive and extensive menu options are accessed via an intuitive single-knob interface with LCD display, allowing for easy set-up and integration into any home theater or stereo system.

• 800 watts RMS continuous power (2300 watts peak dynamic power).
• Efficient, cool-running Class D power with 'green' standby mode.
• Stereo line-level RCA and balanced (XLR) input/output connections for the ultimate in connectivity.
• DSP control for refined behavior under all operating conditions.
• Variable tuning with 20Hz, 16Hz, and Sealed settings to match any room.
• Extensive menu options and digital crossover allows easy integration into any 2-channel system.
• Intuitive and easy to use single knob controller with bright LCD display.

Efficient Performance and Versatile Tuning
The PB12-Plus features a generous cabinet volume and triple deep-breathing ports, resulting in efficient deep bass output capability and excellent mid-bass slam and impact. Our trademark variable tuning accommodates different size rooms and deep extension requirements. Available in real wood veneer black oak or piano-gloss black, and protected by a curved metal grille – the handsome PB12-Plus will have you stealing approving glances whenever you enter the room.

• Large cabinet provides efficient reproduction of the deepest bass notes.
• Wide-flared triple 3" ports for maximum air-flow with no artifacts.
• 20 Hz, 16 Hz and Sealed variable tuning accommodates all room sizes and deep extension requirements.
• Curved metal grille with hidden neo magnet retention gives high-tech appearance.

Professional Reviews

"From its ungodly output capabilities, true 20Hz extension, and ability to play clean and distortion free, the PB12-Plus DSP has truly earned the right to be called a 'subwoofer'."
2010 Audioholics Product of the Year - Subwoofer Category

"The SVS PB12-Plus is truly a chameleon among subwoofers. It can play loud; it can play soft and everywhere in between. It can play as well up high as it does down low, a quality many subs lack. Its multiple port tunings and parametric EQ mean it can work well in any room with any speaker system. Its build quality is on par with the most expensive products available and it looks great too. I'd have to say SVS has hit this one out of the park."
Secrets of HT and HiFi, 2/1/2009 by Chris Eberle. Read Review

"The PB12-Plus at least matches the performance of any subwoofer in this test, and its price is about 40% less than that of the next-least-expensive sub we tested. If you've got the space for this behemoth, it's probably the best deal going for a high-end subwoofer."
