Product Overview
With the emergence of new flagship SVS subwoofers, it was only a matter of time before the unprecedented technology made its way to newer models at prices within reach of more people. Now, the 5000 R|Evolution Series brings a level of performance and a user experience that far exceeds anything in its class.
Featuring a sealed cabinet design, SB-5000 R|Evolution delivers pristine musical output with flawless tonal accuracy and unerring control to delight the most discerning audiophiles. Yet, it still wields enough power to pressurize a room and extend down to 17Hz for the most demanding cinematic action scenes.
Effortless low-frequency output and extreme SPLs without a hint of distortion are rendered by a formidable 15-inch driver with dual edge-wound voice coils driven by a 2,000 Watt Continuous, 5,000+ Watts Peak power dual monoblock amplifier.
There are also brains to match the brawn. A 295MHz Analog Devices DSP, the most powerful processor ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer, ensures pinpoint accurate frequency response and optimal performance under any conditions.
SB-5000 R|Evolution demolishes all performance benchmarks for subwoofers in its class. With trickle-down technology from the 17-Ultra R|Evolution Series, named the top subwoofers in the world by nearly every reviewer and industry group, it obliterates expectations making reference experiences possible for more people than ever.
Effortless Output from High-Excursion 15-inch SVS Driver
The most formidable, sealed cabinet subwoofer driver in its class features all-new dual edge wound voice coils, suspension, basket, and extreme-excursion surround to achieve visceral sound pressure levels with pinpoint accuracy.
- Lightweight and rigid 15-inch glass fiber composite cone with optimal stiffness-to-mass ratio for maximum efficiency and acoustic linearity
- Two-piece toroidal ferrite electromagnetic motor generates massive force with precise control, remaining authoritative yet detailed and controlled
- Extreme-excursion catenary SBR surround maintains pure, long-throw pistonic driver motion
Unerring Control from Dual Edge Wound Voice Coils
Precision engineered dual edge wound voice coils ensure stable transfer of electro-magnetic current to the 15-inch driver for authoritative output and exacting driver control.
6-layer bi-filar dual voice coils conduct the massive power from the dual-mono amplifier to the motor with maximum thermal efficiency, resulting in effortless acoustic output
Flat edge wound aluminum voice coil wire maximizes density for optimal magnetic field strength and thermal capacity
Dual Mono STA-2000D Amplifier Design with Discrete MOSFET Output
A revolutionary new amplifier platform with technology adapted from the flagship SVS subwoofers. Rated conservatively at 2,000 Watts Continuous, 5,000+ Watts Peak, the innovative design maximizes driver potential with refined behavior and pristine response at any volume.
High Current Output of Fully Discrete MOSFET transistors with efficiency of Class D Amplifier generates immense sonic force with precise control for outstanding real-world performance at all volumes.
Each monoblock amp drives one of the dual voice coils within the motor to assert pinpoint control and maximize power fed to the driver
Eight 60 Amp 200 Volt MOSFET transistors deliver extreme high current for reference-level output with maximum efficiency
Performance Enhancing Switch Mode Power Supply
Regardless of the power coming out of your household circuit, the SB-5000 R|Evolution always maintains peak performance and remains impervious to voltage fluctuations.
- Onboard AC line conditioner filters and stabilizes incoming voltage, corrects waveform distortions, and eliminates electromagnetic and radio interferences to optimize signal quality and audio performance
- Ensures clean and consistent 160V rail voltage and optimal power delivery from a standard 15-amp home circuit
- Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) time aligns the AC voltage to the AC current resulting in less heat, greater efficiency, reliable peak power output, and the ability to maintain rated power over a wide-range of voltages
- FEA optimized convection cooling system has no exterior heatsinks, an extraordinary feat for such a powerful amplifier
Extreme Subwoofer Intelligence – 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP
Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most sophisticated DSP ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer.
- Accurately shapes in-room frequency response with absolute precision for faithful signal reproduction
- Monitors every function of the amplifier to stabilize AC voltage delivery to the power supply to maintain consistent peak output
- Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensures maximum output and efficiency
- Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) with 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity
SVS Subwoofer Smartphone Control App
Convenient subwoofer tuning and control from the comfort of your favorite seat. Works via Bluetooth with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms.
- Controls for volume, low pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric equalizers, room gain compensation, tuning modes, power management settings, and more.
- Includes three convenient memory presets for fast and easy system adjustments to match your listening preferences – music, movies, night mode, and more
- Amplifier Rear Panel OLED and control interface provide fast and direct control of the most important features and includes a convenient “Display Flip” function.
SVS Subwoofer Auto EQ Room Correction
Achieves pristine fidelity by resolving acoustic issues caused by your room in a few easy steps.
- Automatically tunes subwoofer output using your smartphone microphone or an external microphone and the SVS subwoofer app
- Applies equalization, capitalizes on available room gain, and shapes in-room frequency response at the main listening positions for optimal in-room performance
- Will be available soon via an over-the-air SVS Subwoofer Control App update
Acoustically Inert, Rigidly Braced Sealed Box Cabinet Design
Sealed cabinet design results in tighter, more musical bass and makes it significantly more compact than ported box subwoofers with similar specs.
- Double-thick 2-inch MDF front baffle and rigid internal bracing to support the massive drive unit and to ensure an acoustically inert environment.
- Highly reinforced internal design and acoustic insulation eliminates all coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume.
- Protective non-resonant extra-thick ABS grille frame with fabric mesh cover shields driver to prevent damage while ensuring longevity.
- Custom elastomer feet reduce noise artifacts within a room.
