Welcome!
At SVS, you can actually hear the
tireless research and design efforts
built in to our subwoofers and speakers. Years are spent developing any
SVS product — with work typically
spanning from our Ohio headquar-
ters… to US west coast technology
centers… and over to the finest component suppliers in Asia and
Europe as well. Nothing in our speaker offerings is an “off the shelf”
product. SVS is committed to making better sound systems with elegant looks, robust construction and world-class technology and materials. We believe you deserve nothing less.
This manual and the printed “Quick Start” sheet will help you integrate
speakers and subwoofer quickly and with professional results.
Armed with only a few basic tools, such a sound pressure level (SPL)
meter, and the test tones built in to most audio/video receivers (AVR),
you will achieve smooth, detailed and powerful reproduction of all your
favorite music and movie audio. Expect to hear things you never
heard before… and expect not to hear some of the artifacts you might
have accepted in the past with inferior brands.
Have a question about your surround sound system? For more
information about SVS products check out our US website, or the exclusive dealer for your region, contact us via phone or e-mail should
you have questions regarding our products.
SVS was founded by audio enthusiasts — our commitment to service
is the only thing that rivals the products we create. Our resellers
around the world feel the same way.

Chapter 4
About your SVS Subwoofer
There maybe be other subwoofers that look like them, but virtually
none work like them. SVS subwoofers are decidedly different in how
they are designed, produced, sold, and the exceptionally high quality
components we use. You could have spent much more on other
brands and still not come close to the performance our products
provide. What makes a subwoofer an SVS?
Quality components, sane prices. You might be surprised at how
inexpensive the components in some not-so-inexpensive subwoofers
are. At SVS, performance is king... not cutting a few dollars from our
“cost to build”.
Innovative designs, rich materials. We test all our materials, and
features in the real world, and “field” size and shape, before any
design is deemed ready. Cabinet construction must ensure rigid and
durable products. All our subwoofers and speakers offer computer
controlled panel cutting, steel fasteners, and recessed components.
Tap the side of your sub, look at the solid construction or remove your
grill, and you’ll know what we mean.
Sealed, or vented, down-firing or front-firing cabinets. An SVS
tradition is to offer a variety of “form factors” which provide exceptional
performance yet also a compact “foot print” which complements your
room style.
Features and controls. Variable phase, crossovers which can be
defeated, and on select models, variable tuning, equalizers or other
advanced controls are built in to allow customers to make their SVS fit
their needs. Spend time exploring this guide and contact your dealer
if you require assistance on any feature.
World class power. Our advanced amplifiers are designed and
manufactured with a level of fit and finish, and genuine power which is
rare at our competitive prices. Loaded with comprehensive, easy to
use controls, and our tremendously efficient Ohio-built woofers, all our
subs achieve exceptional depth, tremendous power and flat, natural
sound. Hear everything on your music CD’s and DVD’s with SVS
products..
