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

  • The Platinum/Diamond Standard in Subwoofers, not for noobs
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
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. ... show more

  • Nail down everything in your house!
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
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! ... show more

  • Powerful and Very Musical!
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
This thing is a beast! It's big and it's heavy. It's also worth every dollar I paid for it. I bought this sub to replace 2 velodyne SPL 12 subwoofers. It outperforms them. It plays deeper,louder. To my surprise this sub is very, very Musical. I had a glass top made for it, and use it as an end table. If you want the best subwoofer that money can buy..... and have the room for it, Get This Sub! You wont be sorry. ... show more

  • I don’t feel like this product lives up to its billing
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
The speaker is nowhere near as loud as it was supposed to be and it does not deliver the ground shaking bass I thought it would
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023 by I am not really impressed with this speaker. I talked with a very helpful person at SLS customer service and he informed me that I needed to upgrade my receiver which pushes the equipment I already have just fine

  • Came a bit late but happy
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
happy with my purchase so far, the owner can be a bit snappy when u ask him direct questions lol but other than that Im happy with my purchase. He did respond promptly to my questions so thats a positive but with this seller the order could come later than anticipated so prepare yourself and dont get too attached to a date like I did. ... show more

  • Returned back to SVS
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
Bought this from SVS website to replace pb12plus, the pb 12 plus would distort with certain musical tracks at high volume. This thing is made in China.The pb16 sub looks good and sounds phenomenal as long as it does not distort. Unfortunately mine did, I contacted SVS, they asked me to send a sound recording of the Sub playing after which they concluded that i have a lemon. I returned it back, won't order another one to confirm that it really was a defective sub, because this thing is so darn heavy and big, it is a hassle to move it, especially if there is a flight of stairs to climb. I got the white glove delivery and the delivery guy ended up damaging the dry wall trying to carry it. Instead I ordered a second pb12 plus and kind of happy with the sound, the pb12 plus is made in China too. I wish this was an American made product. One thing I can tell you though SVS customer service is just outstanding, one of the best I have experienced. They are also very helpful with returns. ... show more

  • A beast of a subwoofer
Style: Single Color: Black Oak Veneer
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.
