Summary of Contents for SVS Sound Revolution R|Evolution PB-5000

  • Page 1 PB-5000 R|Evolution OWNER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 The PB-5000 R|Evolution Subwoofer embodies all the technology and engineering advance- ments made by SVS since we developed our first subwoofer nearly three decades ago. You can feel proud knowing your subwoofer was masterfully engineered to deliver the deepest, most powerful, most accurate, and most detailed low frequencies.
  • Page 3 AV receiver or preamplifier before setting your subwoofer up. Be sure your PB-5000 R|Evolution is switched to Off before plugging it in or connecting to your AV receiver. It’s also best to use cables with secure connections for optimal bass performance.
  • Page 4 Volume > Low Pass Filter Frequency > Phase > Power Mode > Flip Display > BT Lock (if enabled) > Firmware Version > Factory Reset - Push repeatedly or long press to increase volume, raise the low pass frequency cut-off, set to LFE, increase phase degree, or adjust other settings - Push repeatedly or long press to decrease volume, lower the low pass frequency cut-off, reduce phase degree, or adjust other settings.
  • Page 5 The most common way to connect your PB-5000 R|Evolution is with a single RCA or XLR intercon- nect cable going from the LFE or SUB1 Output on your AV receiver or preamplifier to the LFE Input on your PB-5000 R|Evolution. This allows your processor to perform the upstream bass management and send the subwoofer a pre-filtered mono signal.
  • Page 6 Left and Right line level or Balanced (XLR) outputs. Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplifier to the left and right line level inputs of the PB-5000 R|Evolution using RCA or XLR interconnects.
  • Page 7 CENTER (SUB1) Another option is to use the Left and Right RCA or XLR outputs on the PB-5000 R|Evolu- tion to Daisy Chain additional subwoofers. It’s important to use the matching output and input terminals. For example, if you are using the RCA inputs, be sure to use the RCA outputs to daisy chain to the next subwoofer.
  • Page 8 In a 2-channel system you can set up Stereo Subwoofers, where one is used for the Left Channel and one for the Right Channel. Typically, the subwoofers will be symmetrically placed according to your speakers. And be sure to maintain all the correct Left and Right output and input connec- tions to ensure optimum performance.
  • Page 9 AV receiver menu until you get the experience and performance you want. An increase of 2-4 dB louder than initial set-up level is common for many customers. Volume can be controlled from your mobile device via the SVS Subwoofer Control App or using the controls on the rear panel interface.

  • Page 10: Subwoofer Room Placement

    If you are limited to a single subwoofer location, it’s best to find the ideal listening location in the room. You’ll notice as you move through the room, bass response will vary significantly. This is due to the complex pattern of standing sound waves in the room. Sometimes simply moving a few feet in any given direction can improve the balance and accuracy dramatically.
  • Page 11 SUBWOOFER Front Placement Front of the room placement in between or just to the side of the front channel speakers is another common choice. Front of the room placement usually results in the best blending with the main speakers and center channel and minimizes localization effects.
  • Page 12 SUBWOOFER ROOM PLACEMENT SUBWOOFER Dual Subwoofer Placement Based on our own extensive testing, and research done by the professional audio community, we recommend the following placement options for dual subwoofers: • Opposite diagonal front/rear corners. • At the mid-points of the side walls.
