Ultimate subwoofer bolides, ingenious, well thought out and innovative

The SVS 16-ULTRA series are the largest and most powerful subwoofers ever built by SVS. They represent the pinnacle of technological advances at SVS, but that's only part of the story. SVS developed completely new drivers, power amplifiers and housing for this and revised each individual design element intended for this purpose.

With the SVS 16-ULTRA series, SV-Sound paved the way for 3 groundbreaking innovations:

Almost inexhaustible output level
Extreme expansion of the low-frequency range
Flawless frequency response
Pinpoint fast transient response

Each of these innovations in itself meant a real tour de force with regard to the SVS 16-ULTRA series.

The combination of a new type of driver, power amplifier and control platform help the two players, SB16-Ultra and PB16-Ultra, into the pantheon of the greatest audio products of all time.
