Page 4 SV Subwoofers W elcome. From the entire SVS team, congratulations on your purchase of a new standard in home theater and music bass ! Your sub isn’t some generic black box built someplace you can’t even find on a map. It’s built in our Liberty, Ohio USA factory by engi- neers, craftsm en, audio fa ns, some probably like yo u.
About your SVS Subwoofer There maybe be other subw oofers that look like them , but virtually none work like them. SVS subwoofers are deci dedly different in how they are designed, produced, sold, and the ex ceptionally high quality components we use.
Setup, calibrating and integration What’s to kn ow? Well, first of all, setting up an SVS subwoofer is pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to give attention to if you want to get t he most out of your su b. Unpacking. You’re probably eager to hear your sub, but tak e time to carefully unpack ever ything.
More Setup, calibrating and integration SV Sound If you are running a pair of SVS subwoofers (Fig. 2), you will need to use an inex- pensive “Y” cable adapter (d.
“Large”. Selecting the size according ly will ensure bass goes to most ap- propriate speakers, and use t he subwoo fer correctly too. Also, is your sub- woofer turne d “ON” ? We do n’t mean .
But what’s “too high” ?? Tastes vary, and so do movie soundtracks, but your SVS subwoofer is capable of trem endous levels of low distor tion, low frequency bass — far more than most subs in this si ze or price cla ss. Take advantage of this, especially if y ou like action movies with lots of “.

Essentially, “phase” vari es the timing of the bass waves coming from the sub. But don’t despa ir if you do n’t hear m uch differ- ence, especially if running a single subw oofer.
SV Sound Page 11 Advanced Features: Subsonic Filter and Port Tuning Your new SVS subwoofer not only comes with our “Tri-Power” port flares, but custom port plugs and variable subsonic filter whi ch allow your sub to be “tuned” to even lower frequen- cies than its stock configur ation.
.
SV Sound Page 13 Advanced Features: Parametric Equalizer. “PEQ” allows you to tame a “peak” in your room’s response. Peaks are quite common, especially in large rooms or where your sub is far from your listening position . NOTE : A Sound Pressure Level me- ter is a must for proper use of the PEQ, so get one before you tackle this control.
SV Sound Page 14 Sine wave audio tools typically allow the user to play individual tones, say 10Hz through 98Hz in one hertz increments allowing ve ry good resolution over your measurements. When measuring the room’s response use a minimum resolution of 5Hz.
SV Sound Page 15 The LEVEL control is the amount of attenuation on the signal located at the center frequency. MIN is equal to 0dB and MA X is equal to -12dB “cut ”.
SV Sound Page 16 Advanced Features: Room Compensation Theory: In typical home th eaters a phenomenon known as “ room gain” can play a major role in affecting the sound of the s ubwoofer in any given home. If you desire , skip to “size” setting recommendations on the bottom of the next page.
SV Sound Page 17 Application: Room gain relates primar ily to two parameters of your room, its size (physical dimensions and openings to other room s) and its structural integr ity. While we can’t change the parameters of your room, we can adjust the o utput of the sub- woofer to perform better based on the room’s size.
SV Sound Page 18 Example: The following example will h elp you set your subwoofer’s room compensation switch properly. Let’s say your theater room m easures 16 feet wide, by 21 feet long , by 8 fee t t all with a small 10 feet by 7 feet wide opening.
