Subwoofer specialist SVS has announced its latest range of bassmakers. The new 2000 Pro Series will come in sealed, ported and cylinder versions, all under the £1,000 price mark.

The brand says the aim of its new series is to 'raise the performance benchmark in its price class.' All models employ a proprietary 12in high-excursion woofer designed specifically for the 2000 Pro Series, driven by a 550W Sledge amplifier. The woofer, says SVS, is 'built to move very high air volumes, generating exceptional audio energy and control.'

The lineup becomes the new entry-point for SVS's app-based control/EQ system, which first debuted on the 16-Ultra series in 2017, and then filtered down to the 4000 Series and 3000 Series. Utilising a Bluetooth connection to the sub, and available for Apple, Android and Amazon devices, the app offers access to preset EQ modes, crossover control, room gain compensation and three-band parametric EQ.

The claimed frequency response of the sealed SB-2000 Pro is 19Hz-240Hz (+/-3dB). Both the ported PB-2000 Pro and ported cylinder PC-2000 Pro models reach deeper, to a claimed 16Hz.

The starting price will be a suggested £900 for the SB-2000 Pro in a black ash finish. The model will also sell for £1,000 in black gloss and 'special order' white gloss variants.

The PB-2000 Pro will only sell in black ash (£1,000), while its cylindrical stablemate will ship in black gloss (also £1,000.
