SVS SOUND SB-17 ULTRA R|EVOLUTION

SVS SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution - 17" High-End Sealed Active Subwoofer

The SVS SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution represents the pinnacle of SVS subwoofer engineering, combining extreme low-frequency extension, enormous dynamic capability and outstanding precision in a completely sealed enclosure.

At the heart of the system is a massive 17-inch driver with dual 8-inch voice coils, driven by the powerful STA-2800D Dual Mono amplifier delivering 2,800 watts RMS.

The result is a subwoofer designed to reproduce the deepest elements of movie soundtracks with tremendous physical impact while maintaining the speed, control and tonal accuracy required for high-end music reproduction.

17" High-Excursion Driver

The new 17-inch SVS driver is the foundation of the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution and has been engineered specifically to deliver exceptional low-frequency output while maintaining precise control over cone movement.

Its enormous radiating surface allows the subwoofer to move a tremendous amount of air, generating extremely high sound pressure levels while maintaining the definition required for demanding music and movie soundtracks.

The driver is capable of extending the frequency response down to an impressive 15 Hz, allowing the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution to reproduce the deepest bass information and subsonic effects found in modern recordings and movie soundtracks.

Dual 8" Voice Coil Architecture

The 17-inch driver incorporates a sophisticated dual 8-inch voice coil configuration.

This architecture works together with the Dual Mono amplifier platform to provide exceptional current delivery and precise control over the driver's movement.

The result is outstanding transient response, powerful dynamics and accurate reproduction of demanding low-frequency passages.

Sealed Cabinet Design

Unlike the ported PB series, the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution features a completely sealed enclosure.

The sealed configuration eliminates port turbulence and allows the system to deliver extremely controlled and articulate bass with excellent transient response.

The cabinet has been engineered to provide the necessary rigidity for the enormous energy generated by the 17-inch driver, minimizing unwanted cabinet vibration and resonance.

This sealed architecture is particularly well suited to high-end stereo systems, where speed, precision and seamless integration with the main loudspeakers are essential.

2,800-Watt Dual Mono Amplifier

The SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution is powered by the sophisticated STA-2800D Dual Mono Class D amplifier.

The amplifier delivers an impressive 2,800 watts RMS, providing the enormous amount of power required to control the massive 17-inch driver.

The Dual Mono architecture allows the two voice coils to be driven with exceptional precision, ensuring rapid response and excellent control even during the most demanding passages.

The huge power reserve also allows the subwoofer to maintain its performance at extremely high sound pressure levels.

Reference-Level Low-Frequency Extension

With a frequency response extending down to 15 Hz, the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution reaches frequencies well below the range normally reproduced by conventional loudspeakers.

This makes it possible to experience the deepest information contained in music recordings and movie soundtracks, including the physical energy of the lowest LFE effects.

The sealed architecture provides a particularly controlled and articulate presentation, making the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution equally convincing with music and Home Cinema.

SVS Subwoofer Control App

The SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution can be controlled conveniently using the SVS Subwoofer Control App via Bluetooth.

The application allows the main operating parameters to be adjusted directly from the listening position.

Users can control volume, phase, polarity, low-pass filtering, Room Gain Compensation and parametric equalization.

The ability to store different configurations also makes it possible to optimize the subwoofer for different types of content and listening situations.

Advanced DSP Processing

The SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution incorporates sophisticated digital signal processing designed to optimize the interaction between the driver, amplifier and listening environment.

The DSP manages the subwoofer's response while providing precise control over the main operating parameters.

This advanced processing contributes to the exceptional combination of deep extension, output capability, precision and control that characterizes the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution.

SVS Auto EQ

The integrated SVS Auto EQ system simplifies subwoofer calibration according to the acoustic characteristics of the listening room.

Room-related peaks and irregularities can be addressed to achieve a smoother and more consistent low-frequency response.

This makes it easier to integrate the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution with the main loudspeakers and obtain a more natural overall presentation.

Six-Band Parametric EQ

For users who require more advanced control, the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution provides a six-band parametric equalizer.

The EQ allows precise adjustments to the subwoofer's response according to the room, the main loudspeakers and individual listening preferences.

This level of control is particularly valuable in high-end Hi-Fi installations where seamless subwoofer integration is essential.

OLED Display and Control Interface

The rear panel features an OLED display that provides clear access to the subwoofer's main settings.

The interface can be operated directly from the subwoofer or through the SVS Subwoofer Control App.

The Display Flip function allows the orientation of the display information to be reversed according to the installation position.

RCA and Balanced XLR Connectivity

The SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution offers a comprehensive connection system with RCA inputs and outputs together with balanced XLR connections.

The balanced connections make the subwoofer particularly suitable for high-end Hi-Fi systems and installations where maximum signal integrity and resistance to interference are required.

Additional connectivity includes a 3-12 V AC/DC trigger input, IR input and USB connectivity for compatible accessories.

Rigid High-Performance Cabinet

Every aspect of the SB-17 Ultra R|Evolution enclosure has been engineered to handle the enormous amount of energy generated by the 17-inch driver.

The rigid cabinet and internal bracing help minimize unwanted vibrations and resonances, allowing the amplifier's energy to be converted into acoustic output rather than cabinet movement.

The result is a cleaner, more controlled and more precise low-frequency presentation.
