Chapter 3 Page 4 SV Subwoofers SV Sound Welcome! At SVS, you can actually hear the tireless research and design efforts built in to our subwoofers and speak- ers. Years are spent developing any SVS product — with work typically spanning from our Ohio headquar- ters… to US west coast technology centers… and over to the finest component suppliers in Asia and Europe as well.

SV Subwoofers Chapter 4 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. You could have spent much more on other brands and still not come close to the performance our products provide. What makes a subwoofer an SVS? Quality components, sane prices. You might be surprised

Chapter 5-1 SV Sound Powered Box Basic Common Features. SVS subwoofer amps use the most durable and powerful designs possible. Get familiar with yours! Volume/Gain Use “Gain” (in conjunction with your Audio Video Re- ceiver (AVR) subwoofer output level control) to achieve bass level cali- bration to your liking. Start your setup with the sub’s volume/gain no more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the way up (turned clockwise from the left). Crossover Frequency. If you use your AVR’s inter

Chapter 5-2 SV Sound Crossover Feature Switches. If you allow your DD/DTS sur- round-sound receiver or processor to manage bass frequencies (again, highly recommended), this switch should be set to “Disabled”, eliminating the effects of the “Crossover Frequency” knob and allowing your sub to reproduce just what is fed from the receiver. If you use the sub in a two channel (stereo only) con- figuration, then “Enable” the crossover and adjust the knob to best blend the sub into the outp

Chapter 6-1 SV Subwoofers SV Sound Setup, calibrating and integration What’s to know? Setup is easy! However, there are key steps which must be done carefully and correctly, read on: Unpacking. Take a few moments to carefully unpack everything. Save the box and shipping materials, just in case you need to return the sub for any reason. Location. Where you put a sub is important to how it will sound. Use a corner if you can, and avoid putting your sub where it might a

SV Sound Chapter 6-2 SV Sound More Setup, calibrating and integration If you are running a pair of SVS subwoofers (Fig. 2), you will need to use an inexpensive “Y” cable adapter (d.) From the “Y” cable you can run a stan- dard 75 Ohm RCA signal cable (e.) to each sub, thus “splitting” the Low Fre- quency Effects (LFE) and other bass from your receiver, and effectively feed- ing both subwoofers with the same signal. NOTES: Determine if you want “ON” (always on) or “AUTO O

Chapter 6-3 SV Sound Also, is your subwoofer turned “ON”? We don’t mean “is your sub- woofer amplifier on?” but rather, is your AVR sending a bass sig- nal to your sub amp? This can only happen if you say “Yes” (or “ON”) to the “Subwoofer” selection in the setup of your AVR’s setup menu. Is your receiver connected to the sub amp? Use a well-shielded “RCA” cable (sometimes called a “patch cord”) to connect the subwoofer output of your AVR to either input jack of your subwoofer’s

Tastes vary, and 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” channel (LFE) bass action, and give the sub a bit extra gain during calibration. Keep in mind too that the human ear is relatively insensitive to low freque
