SVS PB16 Ultra Ported Subwoofer

Deskripsi SVS PB16 Ultra Ported Subwoofer - Bintang Makmur

SVS publishes accurate, unvarnished specs for its products. The company says the PB16-Ultra will deliver a frequency response from 15 to 280 Hz (+/-3 dB) in its Standard mode (three ports open), 13-280 Hz (+/-3 dB) in Extended mode (one port plugged), and 14-360 Hz (+/-3 dB) when completely sealed. With this sub, not only can you have your cake and eat it, you get a scoop of ice cream on the side.

The PB16-Ultra provides 1500 watts continuous and 5000 watts peak output from the new Sledge 1500-D amp. The amp drives the 16″ woofer with an 8″ edge-wound voice coil, which is the star of the show here. SVS touts this extra-large voice coil as a key reason this sub delivers the goods in terms of both output and accuracy.
The sub is large and heavy—necessary qualities when you want to generate bass at extreme decibel levels. It’s ported, and SVS supplies three foam inserts that plug the vents. Extended mode is notable because it delivers more infrasonic bass—9 dB extra at 16 Hz per the CEA-2010 test—than using all three ports. This comes at the expensive of just one or two dB output at higher frequencies and is the configuration I preferred.

The PB16-Ultra measures 25″ (H) x 21.7″ (W) x 30.9″ (D) and weighs in at 174.5 pounds. SVS offered a peek inside the enclosure with a cut-open sample at CES 2016, and there’s no doubt it’s well-braced and features some impressive plumbing for the ports. Plus, the driver’s motor is a thing of beauty—like the engine of a hot rod.
