The 295MHz DSP ensures flawless tuning, while the SVS Subwoofer Control app gives you total command of performance and personalisation.
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 triple-ported cabinet design, PB-5000 R|Evolution pressurises your listening room with heart-pounding sound that extends down to 13Hz, all without sacrificing refinement and musicality. It suspends your sense of disbelief with seismic power and fathomless extension you can feel from head to toe.
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 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.
PB-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.
15-inch SVS driver
The most formidable ported 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-fibre 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
Dual edge-wound voice coils
Precision-engineered dual edge-wound voice coils ensure stable transfer of electromagnetic current to the 15-inch driver for authoritative output and exacting driver control.
- Six-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 aluminium voice coil wire maximises density for optimal magnetic field strength and thermal capacity
Discrete MOSFET output
A revolutionary new amplifier platform with technology adapted from the flagship SVS subwoofers. Conservatively rated at 2,000 watts continuous and 5,000+ watts peak, the innovative design maximises driver potential with refined behaviour and pristine response at any volume.
- High-current output from fully discrete MOSFET transistors with the efficiency of a Class D amplifier generates immense sonic force with precise control for outstanding real-world performance at all volumes
- Each monoblock amplifier drives one of the dual three-inch voice coils within the motor to assert pinpoint control and maximise power fed to the driver
- Eight 60 Amp 200 Volt MOSFET transistors deliver extreme high current for reference-level output with maximum efficiency
Switch mode power supply
Regardless of the power coming from your household circuit, the PB-5000 R|Evolution always maintains peak performance and remains impervious to voltage fluctuations.
- Onboard AC line conditioner filters and stabilises incoming voltage, corrects waveform distortions, and eliminates electromagnetic and radio interference to optimise 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 across a wide range of voltages
- FEA-optimised convection cooling system has no exterior heatsinks, an extraordinary feat for such a powerful amplifier
Extreme subwoofer intelligence
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 stabilise AC voltage delivery to the power supply and maintain consistent peak output
- Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensure maximum output and efficiency
- Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) with 120dB signal-to-noise ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity
Smartphone control app
Convenient subwoofer tuning and control from the comfort of your favourite seat. Works via Bluetooth with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms.
- Controls for volume, low-pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric equalisers, room gain compensation, port tuning modes, power management settings, and more
- Includes three convenient memory presets for fast and easy system adjustments to match your listening preferences, including music, movies, and night mode
- Amplifier rear panel OLED and control interface provide fast and direct control of the most important features and include 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 equalisation, capitalises on available room gain, and shapes in-room frequency response at the main listening positions for optimal in-room performance
Ported box cabinet design
Triple-ported cabinet design results in subterranean deep bass extension with room-energising output that fills even the largest home theatres.
- Double-thick 2-inch MDF front baffle and rigid internal bracing support the massive drive unit and ensure an acoustically inert environment
- Three high-flow 3.5-inch rounded ports enable massive airflow for greater dynamic headroom
- Highly reinforced internal design and acoustic insulation eliminate all colouration and 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 the driver to prevent damage while ensuring longevity
* Custom elastomer feet reduce noise artefacts within a room
