One Subwoofer to Rule Them All. Introducing the SB16-Ultra.

An unrelenting passion for awesome bass performance and engineering perfection guided every aspect of the SB16-Ultra subwoofer’s design. Groundbreaking technology, rigorous design and extreme testing in real world and laboratory environments allowed SVS to achieve massive output levels, extreme low frequency extension, near-perfect frequency response accuracy, and pinpoint transient response. The culmination of all SVS design advancements, SB16-Ultra represents the greatest leap forward in performance and innovation since the inception of subwoofers.

Masterful Engineering. 3 Game-Changing Subwoofer Innovations.

One of these groundbreaking innovations would’ve been enough to make the 16-Ultra Series an engineering tour-de-force, but the combination of 3 subwoofer firsts propels the SVS SB16-Ultra into the pantheon of all-time great audio products.

Massive New 16-inch SVS Ultra Driver with Unprecedented 8-inch Edge Wound Voice Coil.

When designing the biggest and most formidable driver ever used in an SVS subwoofer, it was of utmost importance to meet or exceed the same supreme standards of control and accuracy as every other subwoofer SVS manufactures. One huge advancement that allows the SB16-Ultra to handle the crushing force of a 16-inch driver is the 8-inch edge wound voice coil, the largest ever deployed in a consumer subwoofer. This innovation ensures ultra-low distortion, efficient heat dissipation, exceptional linearity and nearly zero power compression. By nature, larger drivers are more difficult to control, but the unprecedented voice coil design ensures accuracy in frequency response and speed in transients without ever sounding boomy.

Pushing the driver are four massive, dedicated toroidal ferrite magnets that unleash a staggering 78mm peak to peak excursion and the highest levels of motor force and palpable SPLs. The light and rigid 16-inch Ultra driver cone consists of a premium fiberglass resin composite with optimal stiffness to mass ratio to maximise movement of air and sonic energy without ever distorting or losing control.

Stunningly Powerful, New Sledge Amplifier with Fully Discrete MOSFET Output and 1,500 Watts Continuous, 5,000+ Watts Peak Power.

Conservatively rated at 1,500 watts continuous, 5,000+ watts peak power, the SB16-Ultra Sledge STA-1500D amplifier’s 64 Amp 200-Volt MOSFETs are the sonic muscle behind arguably the most powerful and highest fidelity subwoofer amplifier ever developed. Discrete MOSFET output results in superior handling and tighter control of the immense amplifier power and represents a major upgrade over the integrated circuits found in nearly all other Class D subwoofers.

Effortless power must be harnessed to ensure refined behavior and pristine output at the most demanding drive levels. To achieve this, the SB16-Ultra subwoofer uses the audio industry’s most advanced 50 Mhz Analog Devices Audio DSP with 56bit filtering to handle the nearly limitless power, only unleashing the perfect amount of low frequency energy at just the right time.

Innovative New Smartphone App for Subwoofer DSP and Control.

Compatible with Apple® and Android® platforms, the innovative SB16-Ultra smartphone app unleashes the full depth, force and nuance of the world’s finest subwoofer. The groundbreaking SVS subwoofer app controls all DSP functions and conveniently stores custom presets. It’s the easiest way ever to fine tune bass surpassing 16Hz at reference volumes from the comfort of your favorite seat.

For added convenience, 2-way feedback shows updates in real time on both the app and subwoofer interface and Bluetooth connectivity allows adjustments to be made even when the subwoofer is not in sight. Control is also available via IR remote and an intuitive front panel display.

Acoustically Inert, Rigidly Braced Cabinet

A subwoofer capable of creating such extreme levels of sonic energy requires an equally robust cabinet design. The SB16-Ultra is built with a double thick MDF front baffle and rigid internal bracing to support the massive drive unit and to ensure an acoustically inert environment. The highly reinforced internal design eliminates any chance of coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference sound pressure levels.

Great pillow for side sleepers!
Size: Standard 20"x28", Number of Items: 2
I bought these pillows at first because I wanted to try out the “coolness” of them (I live in a place with no AC). They’re definitely not cold, but they do a good job of regulating the heat on particularly hot/stuffy nights. But my favorite thing about these by far is the support! I’m a side sleeper, and these are just the right amount of firm to tuck between your shoulder and neck that keeps your neck in a good position all night, while still soft and comfy for your head! I’ve been sleeping on them for about 2 months now and they have maintained their shape really well. Definitely recommend!

Great Pillow with Minor Inconvenience
Size: Body 20"x54", Number of Items: 1
When i got this pillow I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. It is not inherently lumpy like I thought it was going to be. It molds to you as you use it every night but resets as memory foam is meant to. My only issue with it is when it is packaged thru gold the pillow in half then roll it and vacuum seal it. Where that fold was there is a lot less fluff and no matter what I do I cannot seem to redistribute the fluff to even it out. Otherwise it's a great body pillow Edit: Still can't get the fold out if the pillow no matter what i do but I still really like the pillow. My mother just got the same one and she does not have any issues with the fold line. I am keeping my review as 4 stars but it really is an awesome pillow

I Sleep Hot and This Is The Only Pillow Ive Tried that Stays Cool!
Size: Queen 20"x30", Number of Items: 1
We have a closet full of pillows. I have tried a bunch from cheap to expensive, Sleep Number to Kohls. I sleep really hot, but I bought this pillow and it is crazy how cool it feels. If I get too warm and want it cooler I flip it over. I was doubtful but now Im sold. I winter in Arizona and Im buying one of these for out there as well. It's firm but fluffy soft. Great support for a side or back sleeper. Maintains its shape, the filling is cut up foam pieces of some sort but its super comfortable. I have not washed it as it had no foam odor, and I was able to use it right away. I definitely recommend this. Great pillow!

Forget the traditional big pregnancy pillows, get one of these!
Size: Body 20"x54", Number of Items: 1
I’m in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy and I’m having a hard time getting comfortable in bed or waking up without pain. I got a big U-Shaped pregnancy pillow but it was awful. It was fluffy, but offered 0 support and firmness. Also the stuffing made me so hot! I decided to try this and I’m soooo glad I did! The memory foam means it actually has some support and firmness to it and it stays pretty cool. It is heavy, but it’s worth it. I put it between my legs and hug the pillow with a 2nd pillow behind my back for extra support. I can ACTUALLY sleep in my bed again! And I don’t wake up with pain and stiffness. Highly recommend if the traditional pregnancy pillow isn’t working for you. Make sure you let the foam rise for 72hrs. Apparently there may be an odor after opening it, but I haven’t noticed anything or it already dissipated. (I also didn’t actually wait the 72hrs but had no issues)

Very soft and squishy vs supportive
Size: Queen 20"x30", Number of Items: 2
These have really nice cooling fabric on one side. The other is a soft cottony fabric. They are very squishy. Not firm at all. I prefer a thicker supportive pillow that doesn’t completely collapse when you lay your head on it. I chose to purchase additional gel infused memory foam shreds to add stuffing to the pillows. I used a five pound bag of the shreds between the four new pillows I bought. I wish that wasn’t necessary. I did end up with nice , cooling, supportive pillows in the end though.
