  • Page 5: About Your Svs Subwoofer

    SV Subwoofers Page 5 SV Sound About your SVS Subwoofer There maybe be other subwoofers that look like them , but virtually none work like them. SVS subwoofers are decidedly different in how they are designed, produced, sold, and the exceptionally high quality components we use.
  • Page 6 SV Subwoofers SV Sound Setup, calibrating and integration What’s to know? Well, first of all, setting up an SVS subwoofer is pretty darn easy. There are a few key things to give attention to if you want to get the most out of your sub.
  • Page 7 SV Sound SV Sound More Setup, calibrating and integration If you are running a pair of SVS subwoofers (Fig. 2), you will need to use an inex- pensive “Y” cable adapter (d.) From the “Y” cable you can run a standard 75 Ohm RCA or XLR signal cable (e.) to each sub, thus “splitting”...
  • Page 8 SPL meter reading is still too high, then turn down the sub’s amp volume a little with each run of the test noise signal, as it cycles from speaker to speaker and the subwoofer. SV Sound Use a well-shielded “RCA”...
  • Page 9 Page 9 Page 9 SV Sound Page 9 But what’s “too high”?? Tastes vary, and so do movie soundtracks, but your SVS subwoofer is capable of tremendous levels of low distortion, low frequency bass — far more than most subs in this size or price class. Take advantage of this, especially if you like action movies with lots of “.1”...
  • Page 10 SV Sound Page 10 your sub, getting these bass wave forms to arrive in a complementary fashion is the difficult job of the phase control. Essentially, “phase” varies the timing of the bass waves coming from the sub. But don’t despair if you don’t hear much differ- ence, especially if running a single subwoofer.

  • Page 14 SV Sound Page 14 Sine wave audio tools typically allow the user to play individual tones, say 10Hz through 98Hz in one hertz increments allowing very good resolution over your measurements. When measuring the room’s response use a minimum resolution of 5Hz.
  • Page 15 SV Sound Page 15 The LEVEL control is the amount of attenuation on the signal located at the center frequency. MIN is equal to 0dB and MAX is equal to -12dB “cut”. Each hash mark reduces the Center Point in question by 1.5dB.
