## Description

An Incomparable Bass Experience An unrelenting passion for awesome bass performance and engineering perfection guided every aspect of the PB16-Ultra subwoofer’s design. Groundbreaking technology rigorous design and extreme testing in real world and laboratory environments allowed SVS to achieve unmatched low frequency extension and output capabilities all while keeping it amazingly detailed and articulate. Massive New 16" SVS Ultra Driver with Unprecedented 8" Edge Wound Voice Coil When designing the biggest and most formidable driver ever used in an SVS subwoofer it was of utmost importance to meet or exceed the same supreme standards of control and accuracy as every other subwoofer SVS manufactures. One huge advancement that allows the PB16-Ultra to handle the crushing force of a 16” driver is the 8” edge wound voice coil the largest ever deployed in a consumer subwoofer. This innovation ensures ultra-low distortion and pinpoint control at the highest drive levels resulting in incredible output and low frequency extension. By nature larger drivers are more difficult to control but the unprecedented voice coil design ensures accuracy in frequency response and speed in transients without ever sounding boomy. Pushing the driver are four massive dedicated toroidal ferrite magnets that unleash a staggering 95mm peak to peak Xmech excursion (82mm Xmax) and the highest levels of motor force and palpable SPLs. The light and rigid 16” Ultra driver cone consists of a premium fiberglass resin composite with optimal stiffness to mass ratio to maximize movement of air and sonic energy without ever distorting or losing control. Stunningly Powerful New Sledge Amplifier with Fully Discrete MOSFET Output The PB16-Ultra Sledge STA-1500D amplifier’s 64 Amp 200-Volt MOSFETs are the sonic muscle behind arguably the most powerful and highest fidelity subwoofer amplifier ever developed. Discrete MOSFET output unbridles the nearly limitless power in the Sledge ampli

Review: The Platinum/Diamond Standard in Subwoofers, not for noobs - I upgraded from a pretty capable sub (good to 18Hz with 600W RMS power) and the PB-16 Ultra BLOWS its doors off; there is nothing that comes close. I was running with one port closed (extended mode, so it's 13Hz capable - I detect absolutely no distortion at any listening level, recently switched to sealed mode for better transient response, 14Hz capable with faster roll-off than extended mode, I'm sticking with sealed ... plenty deep extension AND best transient response. Sure, it's expensive, but this seller has discounted it to a compelling price level, so I didn't have to watch the SVS outlet store like a hawk on a sale day and get lucky. It is 150#, so if you need it on the second floor, you better have an elevator or two people to move it. The black ash finish matches my Klipsch Reference-II and Reference-III series like they were made in the same shop and the resulting sound is theater quality.
Review: Nail down everything in your house! - After reading the reviews, I spent a day nailing down everything in my house that I thought would vibrate. I am glad I did. OMG! This is the forth sub that I currently own. Nothing else comes close to the room filling, low end, accurate, sub pressure that this thing is capable of. With my other subs, I was tired of running to the sub to change the volume settings. Some sources would have sub volume that is to low and some would be too high. My favorite feature is that with the included remote or the IOS/Android app, you can control the volume of the sub from where you sit. I absolutely love this thing!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beast of a subwoofer
*by P***C on January 3, 2017*

Great ability to the lowest of lows in a medium/large room. The oak finish looks good and matches with my RF-7 IIs. Fully open ports not recommended for music as the punchiness was lacking. Sealed or extended mode worked the best. The phone app is really easy to use.
