Standard Bearing

The cylinder subwoofer that has won countless awards - and for good reason. This reference quality sub has no peers and emulates the very frequencies you'd expect to feel at a concert or cinema. The 15Hz bass extension combined with the height of the PC-4000 makes for a room filling sound - whilst only occupying a modest 16 inch diameter of floor space! The new standard of cylinder subwoofer comes in a shimmering gloss black finish and is fully compatible with the SVS smartphone app.

Product Overview

A tower of bass without peer across the world of audio, the PC-4000 is an icon of SVS design innovation standing tall as the most sophisticated cylinder subwoofer SVS has ever developed. Room-energizing output and deep bass extension below the threshold of human hearing with less than half the floorspace required of comparable ported box subwoofers. An effortlessly powerful amplifier and driver combine with advanced DSP technology for a level of performance and user control not seen at this price before. The PC-4000 also comes standard with the SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System for cleaner sounding bass with increased definition and more punch without room rattle and reduced bass bleed to the rest of the house.

Reference Caliber Bass with Less Floorspace Required

The SVS PC-4000 powered subwoofer astounds with its ability to command a room with massive low frequency output and deep bass extension that can be heard and felt while maintaining accuracy and control, all from a striking cylinder cabinet that measures only 16” in diameter. There is no subwoofer in the world that comes close to what the PC-4000 can do without taking up 2 or 3 times as much floorspace. With trickle down technology from the 16-Ultra Series, named top subwoofers in the world by nearly every audio publication and industry group in 2017, the PC-4000 shatters expectations and delivers a level of unrivaled subwoofer performance only available from SVS.

Sledge Amplifier – Massive Output, Sophisticated DSP, Advanced Power Management

Rated conservatively at 1,200 watts RMS, and 4,000+ watts peak power, the PC-4000 Sledge STA-1200D amplifier uses an efficient Class D design combined with fully discrete MOSFET output and a sophisticated Analogue Devices DSP engine. The result is a level of effortless power and advanced processing not available from any other powered subwoofer manufacturer.

High Current Output of Fully Discrete MOSFETs with Efficiency of Class D Amplifier

Efficiency of a Class D amplifier with the ability to move massive amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs enabling immense output and precise control for outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels.

Sophisticated 50Mhz High Resolution Analogue Devices Audio DSP

Most advanced digital processor ever used in a subwoofer maintains pinpoint accuracy and pristine sound quality through advanced in-room tuning, optimized frequency response curves, powerful DSP controls and more.

Variable Port Tuning Modes

A single foam port plug come standard with the PC-4000 and allow for variable tuning. Additional port plugs are available upon request to support all tuning options*. Each response curve for the three port tuning modes; standard, extended and sealed, is fully configured to the respective mode to achieve balanced and accurate low frequency response with all tuning preferences.

*Since the vast majority of SVS subwoofer owners never use the port plugs and many end up in landfills, we’ve made them optional to be a bit more eco-conscious. SVS are happy to send port plugs free of charge if they will be used, just note in the special instructions during checkout.

Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) & Ground Loop Isolation

Serves as a line conditioner, surge suppressor and voltage regulator letting the amplifier deal with wide voltage fluctuations and ensuring the subwoofers operate flawlessly on any household circuit no matter how unstable the incoming current. An isolated circuit creates a vanishingly low noise floor by eliminating the potential for ground loop hums from outside components resulting in absolute sonic transparency.

SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System for Cleaner, Tighter Bass with Less Room Rattle

Elastomer feet on the PC-4000 improve bass performance while reducing floor and wall vibrations, noise artifacts and complaints from neighbours or roommates. De-coupling a subwoofer from the floor results in inherently tighter and cleaner sounding bass. It’s also the next best thing to sound-proofing and ideal for carpeted rooms, hardwood floors or any space where room rattles, buzzes or vibrations are present.

Acoustically Inert and Rigidly Braced Ported Cylinder Cabinet Design

An inlaid front panel display, the first of its kind for an SVS cylinder subwoofer, and a stylish and durable fabric cabinet covering give the PC-4000 a refined yet commanding look that blends visually with home theatres and high-end audio systems. The unique cabinet design goes vertical to increase cabinet volume to achieve incredible low frequency output on par with much larger ported box subwoofers, but with much less floorspace required.

• Double thick 2-inch MDF cabinet walls and rigid internal bracing to support the massive drive unit and to ensure an acoustically inert environment.
• Highly reinforced internal design and acoustic insulation eliminates all colouration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume.
• Protective, non-resonant steel mesh grille and custom elastomer feet for reducing noise artifacts within a room.
