Next new arrival shipping mid January 2012
Get a load of the latest and greatest in SVS's classic PB12-NSD subwoofers, from top to bottom, a full redesign: Smaller, better looking than ever before, and with more features -- it even outguns the previous sub's stellar performance!
So this is a whole different level of play in power, refinement and style at SVS. Whether you dig into the STA-400D DSP amp, the new more efficient 12" NSD woofer or the new components at every turn, no one can call this sub "entry level" and get away with it.
Like all our subwoofers, this all new PB12-NSD comes with lifetime technical support, a bumper to bumper 3 year warranty, and 7 day a week on-line support.
Arriving in September 2011, order yours today and be one of the first on your block to shake things up with a new generation of SVS.
The newest SVS 12" NSD woofer has even better all-round performance than its predecessor. Features like a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimized motor with dual shorting rings and pole extenders bring all these improvements to the table:
- More linear force/displacement curve
- Lower inductance and distortion
- Shorter "ring time"
- Improved sensitivity
- A wider and more linear frequency bandwidth
PB12-NSD Features
- 2” diameter, high-power voice coil with high-temp GSV former
- Nomex linear roll long-throw spider
- Low-creep rubber long-throw surround
- Spider-integrated tinsel leads
- Aluminum cone and composite dust cap with SVS logo
- Powder-coated cast aluminum basket
- FEA-optimized motor structure
- Dual shorting rings and pole extenders to reduce gap induction and distortion
- Dual high-grade ferrite magnets
- Pole piece vent for greater cooling, low noise, and reduced air compression
400 watt SVS STA-400D Sledge™ DSP-controlled amplifier
Like its higher powered Sledge™ amp brothers (the STA-800D and 1000D) this high-output unit was designed just for us, and is so costly you just can't expect to see it on competitive products.
Torture tested around the world SVS has gone back and invested in higher grade materials, higher power and higher precision parts. Not least of these parts are the Analog Devices DSPs, and beefed-up power supplies to handle extreme AC line-voltages from 100V too 250V and beyond.
The STA-400D DSP amp might look conventional, but those knobs are not even really "knobs" in the normal sense, they are digital actuators which precisely control gain, phase, crossover (and of course disable the latter too if you like). Naturally there is an on/auto-on toggle switch too, but now there's a full digital power supply, and "green" standby mode too. Which means your SVS is ready to be a good citizen on the power grid too, unlike their less efficient predecessor amps.
And see if you can get one to get even mildly warm in use, these amps are more efficient than ever before. A clip light lets you know when you have reached the stops, but you won't hear anything untoward audibly if you do. Your PB12-NSD simply stops getting louder when you push it too hard. That's the power of DSP control, with precisely metered custom tuning for each NSD model. SVS's obsession to making this and all our Sledge DSP amps as "bullet-proof" as our famous woofers will be obvious.
