Elevate Your Home Theater with the New SVS 5000 R|Evolution Series Subwoofers
Get ready to experience bass like never before! SVS, a renowned leader in high-performance audio, has just unveiled their 5000 R|Evolution Series subwoofers, launched on April 9, 2025, from their headquarters in Youngstown, Ohio. Building on the groundbreaking technology of their flagship 17-Ultra R|Evolution Series, these new models deliver reference-level performance in smaller enclosures, making elite audio accessible to more enthusiasts. Whether you’re a cinephile, audiophile, or gaming enthusiast, the 5000 R|Evolution Series promises to transform your home theater with deep, powerful bass and unmatched precision.
Meet the 5000 R|Evolution Series
The 5000 R|Evolution Series introduces two distinct models tailored to different listening preferences and room sizes:
- SB-5000 R|Evolution: A sealed cabinet subwoofer, perfect for delivering tight, accurate bass—ideal for music lovers or smaller spaces.
- PB-5000 R|Evolution: A ported cabinet subwoofer, designed for deeper, room-filling bass and higher output, making it a top choice for larger rooms and cinematic experiences.
Both models incorporate flagship SVS innovations, including a first-ever 15-inch high-excursion driver, a dual mono-block amplifier, and a 295MHz Analog Devices DSP—the most powerful processor ever used in a consumer subwoofer. The result? Effortless, room-pressurizing low frequencies with pinpoint control that redefines what’s possible in their class.
Key Features That Redefine Subwoofer Performance
15-Inch High-Excursion Driver: The Heart of the Beast
The cornerstone of the 5000 R|Evolution Series is its all-new 15-inch driver, the largest ever featured in an SVS subwoofer at this level. Key highlights include:
- Dual flat edge-wound three-inch voice coils: Ensures stable electromagnetic current transfer for massive output and precise control.
- Long-throw parabolic NBR rubber surround: Supports extreme excursion and durability, delivering high sound pressure levels.
- Lightweight glass fiber laminated dustcap: Moves massive amounts of air while maintaining accuracy, rendering both explosive bass and subtle details with finesse.
This driver extends down to 17Hz (SB-5000) and an astonishing 13Hz (PB-5000 in extended mode), bringing infrasonic bass you can feel from head to toe.
Dual Mono-Block Amplifier: Power Without Limits
Driving the 15-inch driver is a 2,000-watt continuous, 5,000+ watt peak dual mono-block STA-2000D Class-D amplifier. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Eight 60-amp 200-volt MOSFETs: Deliver near-limitless power for peak performance, even with the most demanding content.
- Dual mono design: Each amplifier powers one of the driver’s voice coils, doubling current delivery while maintaining exacting control.
This robust amplification ensures the subwoofer can handle blockbuster action scenes or delicate musical passages with equal authority.
295MHz Analog Devices DSP: Smarter Bass
Unlike many subwoofers that lack DSP, the 5000 R|Evolution Series leverages a 295MHz Analog Devices DSP—a game-changer in subwoofer technology. It:
- Shapes in-room frequency response for flawless sound reproduction.
- Stabilizes AC voltage and manages thermal/current monitoring for consistent performance.
- Features advanced digital audio processing with a 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio, ensuring pristine fidelity and low noise.
This DSP brings intelligence to the brawn, optimizing every aspect of the subwoofer’s output.
SVS Subwoofer Control Smartphone App: Tuning Made Simple
Control and calibration are effortless with the SVS Subwoofer Control Smartphone App, compatible with iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire devices. Features include:
- Adjustments for volume, low pass filter, phase, polarity, and six parametric equalizers.
- Room gain compensation and port tuning (PB-5000 only) for tailored performance.
- Three memory presets for quick switching between settings (e.g., movies, music, night mode).
An upcoming Auto EQ Subwoofer Room Correction feature will use your smartphone’s microphone to optimize the subwoofer’s response for your room, ensuring the best possible sound with minimal effort.
Design and Build: Form Meets Function
Both models are crafted with acoustically inert MDF cabinets featuring internal bracing to eliminate resonances and ensure pure sound. Finish options include Piano Gloss Black and Premium Black Oak Wood Veneer, blending seamlessly into any home theater setup. Their dimensions are:
- SB-5000: 18.3” H x 17.8” W x 19.5” D (compact for sealed design).
- PB-5000: 23.4” H x 20.5” W x 28.7” D (larger for ported output).
The PB-5000’s triple-ported design enhances deep bass extension, while the SB-5000’s sealed cabinet prioritizes precision and a smaller footprint.
Why They’re Perfect for Your Home Theater
Pair the SVS 5000 R|Evolution Series with a top-tier projector and screen from ProjectorScreen.com, and you’ll unlock a truly immersive cinematic experience. The SB-5000 delivers tight, musical bass that complements dialogue and soundtracks, while the PB-5000 fills your room with earth-shaking lows that make action scenes come alive. With frequency responses reaching as low as 13Hz, these subwoofers bring every rumble, explosion, and subtle nuance to life, enhancing movies, music, and games alike.
SVS President Gary Yacoubian sums it up perfectly:
"SVS has always been about bringing reference experiences to broader audiences. While other manufacturers are still chasing benchmarks we established with the flagship 17-Ultra R|Evolution Series, we raised the bar and redefined what is possible at even lower prices with the 5000 R|Evolution Series. The finest subwoofer technology available is now accessible to more audiophiles and home theater fans than ever."
Conclusion: Bring Reference Bass Home
The SVS 5000 R|Evolution Series redefines what’s possible in home theater audio, delivering flagship technology to more enthusiasts than ever. Whether you opt for the SB-5000 for its musical precision or the PB-5000 for its cinematic power, you’re investing in a subwoofer that elevates every listening experience.
