The SVS SB17 subwoofer leverages advanced design principles to deliver accurate low-frequency reproduction. Achieving clean bass down to 15Hz ensures an immersive audio experience, free from coloration.
The SVS SB17 features a high-excursion 17-inch driver constructed from a glass fiber composite cone to balance stiffness and weight, allowing for precise low-frequency control. The 55 lb toroidal ferrite magnet motor assembly generates a substantial magnetic field for dynamic response. Its dual voice coil design ensures that electro-magnetic energy is efficiently channeled to the cone, further optimizing control and efficiency. The two Class-D mono-block amplifiers provide independent power to each coil, which helps in maintaining the thermal stability of the system while achieving high output with lower distortion. The use of a switch-mode power supply not only aligns AC voltage to current for enhanced performance but also minimizes electricity consumption by adapting to the demand. Integrating a 295 MHz DSP allows for real-time processing of the audio signal, crucial for maintaining precise output across various frequencies. The sealed cabinet design provides an acoustically inert environment, mitigating external resonances which could adversely affect sound quality, thus granting an authentic reproduction of low frequencies.
