SVS SOUND PB-5000 R|EVOLUTION

SVS PB-5000 R|Evolution - 15" High-End Active Bass Reflex Subwoofer

The SVS PB-5000 R|Evolution is a high-end active subwoofer engineered to deliver truly reference-level performance, combining a new 15-inch high-excursion driver, a powerful 2,000-watt RMS Dual Mono amplifier with over 5,000 watts of peak power, and an advanced 295 MHz DSP platform.

Unlike the sealed SB-5000 R|Evolution, the PB-5000 R|Evolution features a massive three-port bass reflex cabinet, optimized to deliver even greater low-frequency extension and extraordinary sound pressure levels.

The result is a subwoofer capable of combining power, depth, dynamics and precision, making it an outstanding choice for reference-level Home Cinema systems as well as high-end Hi-Fi stereo installations.

SVS 15" High-Excursion Driver

At the heart of the PB-5000 R|Evolution is a new proprietary 15-inch high-excursion driver engineered to handle enormous amounts of power while maintaining exceptional control over cone movement.

The cone features a rigid and lightweight fiberglass composite construction, designed to maintain highly controlled piston-like behaviour even during extreme excursions.

The driver achieves an impressive 46.32 mm Xmax and 77.44 mm Xmech, allowing it to move an enormous amount of air and generate extremely high sound pressure levels.

Dual 3" Voice Coils

The transducer features a sophisticated dual 3-inch voice coil configuration with six-layer aluminium edge-wound windings.

The two voice coils are driven independently by the two sections of the Dual Mono amplifier, allowing the system to fully exploit the amplifier's current capability and deliver exceptional dynamic performance.

Oversized Magnetic Motor System

The magnetic motor system consists of a massive dual-element Y30 ferrite motor, engineered to provide tremendous driving force while maintaining precise cone control throughout the entire excursion range.

A dedicated copper shorting ring helps reduce inductance and distortion, further improving system linearity and low-frequency accuracy.

Three-Port Bass Reflex Design

One of the defining features of the PB-5000 R|Evolution is its sophisticated three-port bass reflex cabinet.

The three ports are engineered to take full advantage of the enormous displacement capability of the 15-inch driver, increasing acoustic efficiency at the lowest frequencies and allowing the subwoofer to achieve extraordinary output levels.

The large port design also helps reduce air velocity and minimize turbulence and unwanted port noise, even when the subwoofer is operating at extremely high output levels.

The system can be further configured through the DSP controls to adapt its behaviour to the requirements of the listening environment and system.

2,000-Watt Dual Mono Amplifier

The PB-5000 R|Evolution uses the advanced STA-2000D Dual Mono Class D amplifier platform, designed to provide the enormous current capability required by the new 15-inch driver.

The amplifier delivers 2,000 watts RMS of continuous power and more than 5,000 watts of peak power.

The architecture consists of two monoblock amplifier sections, with each amplifier dedicated to one of the driver's voice coils.

The output stage uses eight 60-ampere, 200-volt MOSFETs, providing tremendous current delivery and extremely fast transient response.

High-Current Power Supply with Active PFC

The amplifier is powered by an advanced Switch Mode Power Supply with active power factor correction.

The universal power supply operates from 100 to 240 volts and maintains stable amplifier performance even during demanding musical and cinematic passages with extremely high energy requirements.

295 MHz Analog Devices DSP

The PB-5000 R|Evolution is controlled by a powerful 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP with 56-bit digital processing.

The processor manages the driver's response, equalization, filtering, phase and the various protection and optimization systems.

The DSP continuously monitors critical parameters including voltage, current and temperature, ensuring reliable and consistent performance even during prolonged high-output operation.

Deep Bass Extension and Extraordinary Output

The bass reflex configuration allows the PB-5000 R|Evolution to reach extremely deep frequencies while taking advantage of the acoustic efficiency provided by its three ports.

The result is low-frequency reproduction characterized by depth, tremendous output, dynamics and physical impact, particularly impressive with movie soundtracks and content featuring demanding LFE information.

Despite its enormous output capability, the advanced DSP and rigid cabinet allow the PB-5000 R|Evolution to maintain highly controlled and articulate bass even at extremely high sound pressure levels.

SVS Subwoofer Control App

The PB-5000 R|Evolution can be conveniently controlled through the SVS Subwoofer Control App via Bluetooth.

The application allows users to adjust the main subwoofer parameters directly from the listening position without having to access the rear panel.

Available controls include volume, low-pass filter, phase, polarity, Room Gain Compensation and parametric equalization.

The system also provides six bands of parametric EQ and customizable presets, allowing different configurations to be stored for music, movies and other applications.

SVS Auto EQ

The PB-5000 R|Evolution features SVS Auto EQ, designed to simplify subwoofer calibration according to the acoustic characteristics of the listening room.

The system helps optimize low-frequency response and reduce irregularities caused by room acoustics, improving integration with the main loudspeakers.

The combination of Auto EQ and the advanced DSP platform makes it possible to achieve a smoother and more controlled bass response even in acoustically challenging rooms.

OLED Display and Intelligent Control

The rear panel incorporates a high-visibility OLED display and dedicated control interface.

The Display Flip function allows the display orientation to be reversed, ensuring easy readability regardless of the subwoofer's installation position.

RCA and XLR Inputs and Outputs

The PB-5000 R|Evolution provides both stereo RCA inputs and outputs and balanced XLR connections.

The balanced XLR connections make the subwoofer particularly suitable for high-end Hi-Fi systems and installations where maximum immunity to interference is important.

The connectivity section also includes a 3.5 mm IR input, a 3-12 V AC/DC trigger input and a USB port for powering compatible accessories.

Rigid High-Density Cabinet

The PB-5000 R|Evolution cabinet uses high-density MDF construction combined with an extensive internal bracing system.

The large enclosure has been engineered to maintain exceptional rigidity even when the subwoofer is operating at extremely high power levels, reducing unwanted cabinet vibration and resonance.

The rigid front baffle and internal bracing help ensure that the amplifier's energy is converted into acoustic output from the driver rather than being lost through cabinet vibration.

Protective Front Grille

The large 15-inch driver is protected by a robust front grille constructed from non-resonant materials and covered with acoustically transparent fabric.

The grille provides effective driver protection while maintaining the elegant and sophisticated appearance expected from a high-end subwoofer.
