One Subwoofer to Rule Them All. Introducing the PB16-Ultra.

An unrelenting passion for breathtaking bass performance and engineering perfection guided every aspect of the PB16-Ultra subwoofer’s development. Groundbreaking technology, rigorous design and extreme testing in real world and laboratory environments allowed SVS to achieve unmatched low frequency extension and output capabilities all while keeping it amazingly detailed and articulate. The culmination of all SVS design advancements, PB16-Ultra represents an incomparable bass experience. Nothing else comes close.

Masterful Engineering. 3 Game-Changing Subwoofer Innovations.

One of these groundbreaking innovations would’ve been enough to make the PB16-Ultra an engineering tour-de-force, but the combination of 3 subwoofer firsts propels the SVS PB16-Ultra into the pantheon of all-time great audio products.

SVS Port Plugs are not included.  Sold separately.

SVS Port Plug Foam

All PB (ported box) and PC (ported cylinder) subwoofers can be fitted with these little grey cylinders of foam. Those little cylinders (called port plugs), used along with the DSP settings you choose from the SVS app, can make a huge difference to the sound of your subwoofer. The port plugs are all the same across SVS's PB and PC models.
