SVS PB-2000 Pro 12-inch Subwoofer Objective Review

[Erin]

Up for test is the SVS PB-2000 Pro Subwoofer.

In this video I break down the features and discuss the objective performance of the SVS PB-2000 Pro. I have taken the liberty to provide an overlay of a comparison against the Monoprice Monolith THX 12 (in ported mode, THX EQ) because I have gotten many questions regarding how the two compare. In a nutshell, the two are pretty closely matched with the edge going toward the Monolith in terms of response linearity and max SPL per the CEA-2010-A/B standards. However, the SVS provides built-in Bluetooth connection for settings controls in addition to those found on the back. Additionally, with the BT app you can also access 3 bands of P-EQ which, IMHO, is a notable feature and may be a deciding factor for some.


You can find the CEA-2010 test results spreadsheet here:

Hopefully you find something useful in here.

Let me know if you have any questions.

This is great info, Erin! Thanks for doing this. I own the SVS PB-2000 non-pro version so I'm not sure if the results you found are comparable but this is interesting food for thought, regardless : )

From what I understand the Pro has more output. I want to say James mentioned this in his Audioholics review but I may be off.

Thanks for reply.
