Quick Start Guide
SB-1000 Pro
Congratulations on choosing the SVS SB-1000 Pro, one of the most powerful and advanced subwoofers in the world. We know you’re anxious to get it cranking so the following steps will guide you through the quick and easy installation process.
We strongly recommend reading the SB-1000 Pro Owner’s Manual to get the best possible performance out of your new subwoofer. You’ll find useful information about subwoofer placement, connections, DSP functions, and more. The full SVS SB-1000 Pro Owner’s Manual can be found here: www.svsound.com/sb-1000-pro-manual
Unbox It
If you followed the SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer unboxing instructions properly you will have the following items in front of you. Please confirm all pieces are available before continuing.
Set It Up
The location of your subwoofer in the listening environment can affect its
performance. If possible, start with corner placement on the same wall as the
front speakers, or anywhere along the front stage in between or outside of
your main speakers.
Corner Placement: offers huge impact and reduces the potential to encounter bass nulls, or ‘dead spots’. If “boominess” occurs, you can try pulling it away from the wall and using the DSP tuning controls to smooth performance.
Front
Placement: In between or to the side of the front channel speakers often
results in the best blending with the main speakers and center channel and
minimizes localization effects.
Side Wall Placement: Side wall placement is less frequently used but can be an effective subwoofer location for excellent accuracy and output.
Hook It Up
For most set-ups, a single RCA subwoofer interconnects cable running from the
AV Receiver’s “SUB 1” output to the SB-1000 Pro’s “LFE” line-level input is
all that’s required to connect the subwoofer into your system. If you run
separate Preamplifier and Power Amplifiers, follow the “Line Level Connection –
Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier Left/Right Channels” connection guide below.
Your subwoofer is also equipped with speaker-level inputs as an alternate
connection method. For all details and setup info, please see the full Owner’s
Manual online at: www.svsound.com/sb-1000-pro-

Get Control
Your SVS SB-1000 Pro Subwoofer can be controlled from the SVS Mobile App or via the rear panel for maximum flexibility when optimizing performance based on your room layout, speakers, system set-up, and more.
Download The App
The SVS App is the easiest and most convenient way to access all of the
advanced control features available on your SB-1000 Pro, from the comfort of
your favorite seat.
For iOS, Android, & Amazon Devices
On The Subwoofer
The rear panel features an intuitive user interface with controls for
adjusting the subwoofer’s primary settings. The blue LED bar shows settings
for Volume, Low Pass Frequency, and Phase. Simply press the setting you want
to change and then use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the settings.
Please note, some DSP settings can only be accessed using the SVS app.
Get Calibrated
For connection to an AV Receiver, set the SB-1000 Pro volume to -10 in the app
(on the rear panel, all but the last two lights illuminated). Set the low pass
filter to LFE and the phase to 0 degrees, then run auto-set-up on the AV
Receiver. Always re-run set-up if you move the subwoofer to another location.
For
connection to a Stereo Receiver or Preamplifier without auto-set-up, adjust the
SB-1000 Pro volume to match the output of your main speakers, and adjust the
low pass filter to blend the bass between the SB-1000 Pro and your speakers. If
needed, consult with our Sound Experts on the best phase setting.
For additional guidance on recommended crossover or low pass filter settings specific to your system, visit our Subwoofer Matching Tool at www.svsound.com/merlin, or contact our Sound Experts.
