SVS introduces the 17-Ultra R|Evolution

Why you will love it

17-inch driver, dual 8-inch voice coils

The driver has a glass fibre composite cone, a catenary SBR rubber surround and a four-piece ferrite motor weighing about 24.6 kg. SVS lists 48.9 mm Xmax and 81.78 mm Xmech.

SVS says the dual 8-inch voice coils are a first, and that each of the two amplifier channels drives one coil.

Dual mono STA-2800D amplifier

The Sledge STA-2800D uses two Class D mono-block amplifiers with eight 60 amp, 200 volt MOSFETs, rated at 2,800 watts RMS continuous and 6,000+ watts peak.

The switch mode power supply has active power factor correction and an AC line conditioner. SVS says the cooling design needs no external heatsinks.

295 MHz DSP and SVS Auto EQ

SVS says the 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP is the most sophisticated it has used in a consumer subwoofer. It runs 56-bit filtering and DACs with a 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio.

The SVS Subwoofer Control app works on iOS, Android and Amazon Fire. It adjusts volume, low pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric EQ bands, room gain and three presets. Auto EQ measures your room using your phone's microphone or an optional external microphone.

Sealed cabinet

The sealed MDF cabinet has internal bracing, a fabric-covered ABS grille frame and screw-in iso-elastomer feet. The amplifier panel has an OLED display with a display-flip function for reading it from behind.

Is it right for you?

A great fit if you…

  • Have a large room or want very deep, controlled bass
  • Want app control and room correction built in
  • Run a high-end home theatre or stereo system
  • May add a second subwoofer later

Worth knowing

  • It is big and heavy: 56.25 kg unboxed and 53.7 cm deep with the grille
  • Room correction is by smartphone app, so you will need a compatible phone
  • SVS says dual subwoofers give a smoother response at more listening positions

Build your system

SVS says dual subwoofers give a smoother frequency response at more listening positions and greater headroom.

Questions people ask

How low does it go?

SVS rates the frequency response at 15Hz to 320Hz (±3dB), measured quasi-anechoic. SVS notes the graph does not show maximum output.

How do I set it up?

Use the SVS Subwoofer Control app. Auto EQ uses your phone's microphone, or an optional external microphone, to measure the room and calculate filters.

Can I connect it to a stereo amplifier?

Yes, via RCA or XLR line inputs. It has stereo RCA and XLR outputs too.

Can it be linked wirelessly?

The USB port provides power for the SVS SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter, which is sold separately.

Should I buy two?

SVS says dual subwoofers give a smoother frequency response at more listening positions and more headroom.
