Powered Box Sub, 10" NSD Woofer
New: High-flow 3.5" port, re-tuned full-featured BASH amp and sleek aluminum woofer cone!
SVS has been making what's arguably the best affordable subwoofers for years, yet this new version of SVS's classic 10" Powered Box sub puts more useable bass in your room than ever before. Free breathing, refined tuning. Better in every regard, which given how stunning the "old" sub was is saying quite a bit.
Enthusiasts with more modest budgets no longer have to give up tried and true high-end features, and more than ever they can afford at least would blow cheap subs into the weeds... without breaking the bank. We were listening. Years ago the first "PB10" set a new path for entry level performance audio. Don't compare it to other $500 subs. Compare it to $1000 subs instead.
Now with a chic new 10" aluminum cone the NSD driver designed and built by SVS in our own Ohio factory, the "Powered Box" legacy continues. This new generation of PB10 again defines state of the art power, accuracy, and deep extension previously thought impossible in the price class. Doing this with small-batch hand-built quality from the US might be unimaginable to some, but at SVS it's just another goal met.
In our least expensive products SVS still uses all our technical know-how. Making world-class subs that are expensive is easy. Making them affordable is what we do best. - it's no wonder this SVS subwoofer set industry on its ear when first introduced 4 years ago.You might be shocked to discovered that $499, and it's still built in our Ohio factory.

SVS 10" NSD- AL Cone woofer
 An exclusive in-house design, and hand-built in small batches of a few hundred at a time, one look will tell you this woofer means business, with its huge synthetic rubber surround, and high tech materials at every turn. Go ahead and try to find a 10" woofer with half this performance, durability and quality, even if you want to spend far more. Now you don't have to. Taking a few engineering cues from its larger 12" NSD and Plus woofer brothers, you'll see an industry standard aluminum basket, but virtually every other component custom designed for and by us. Dual spiders for superior excursion, NBR surround, and an US sourced voice-coil. Even a synthetic rubber mounting gasket for clean cosmetics (something the first 10" ISD woofer wasn't too big on). Looking at it, or better yet, experiencing its power, you'll know we strove for unprecedented performance first, not the lowest price. No audio brand today pours more time, or technology and care in building into a woofer. What sort of driver is in your sub?

325 Watt RMS Built-In BASH Amplifier
  This high output full-featured digital switching amp was designed by SVS in partnership with one of the most capable and largest original equipment manufacturers in the world. Built in Canada to exacting standards seldom seen in this price class, its rugged, clean layout and construction serves as a perfect compliment to SVS Powered Boxes. Quite literally, thousands of man-hours were expended dialing in performance that perfectly matched our NSD woofers and the rest of the sub's enclosure. We even made sure our own logo graced this amp as a reminder that no other subwoofer manufacturer has it. And since you can only get one on your SVS, you won't see them floating around the various "do it yourself" e-tailers either. Isn't it nice to know your amp was made just for your sub?
Don't let the conservative real-world power rating deceive you. Given our latest US-made drivers and the exceptionally efficient SVS box design, the SVS PB10-NSD can embarrass other subwoofers touting thousands of watts.
Variable crossover (with bypass), defeat-able auto-on, high-level and low-level inputs, detachable power cord, continuously variable phase and LOADS of power, this is one amp you can count on to provide years of accurate, deep and powerful bass. Get the BASH advantage on your SVS now.
More on BASH
BASH® is a proven class of amplification, answering the market needs for efficiency without compromising sound quality. BASH® is a patented "High Efficiency Linear Amplifier" circuit topology that has taken the best of Class D and Class AB and created a new Class of its own. By combining a fast response power converter with a linear amplifier, BASH® is able to maintain both class AB sonic performance and class D efficiency.
BASH® can produce high power levels without cost penalties typically associated with conventi onal amplifier designs. A linear amplifier rated at 100 Watts should be able to deliver 20 Watts continuously. If the same amplifier is to play musical transients that are 10dB louder than its rated power, the amplifier must be able to deliver 1000 watts dynamically. To deliver such dynamic power would require the internal power supply rails to be 300% higher, and the resulting power dissipated at 20 watts output to be 350% higher resulting in increases to heat sinks, power transformer, bulk capacitors, output devices and ultimately increases the cost.
BASH® provides customers new solutions, opens new markets, offers greater flexibility, and ultimately reduces the cost of amplification.
Front firing cabinet with compliant floor fittings
When it comes to floor and room interface solutions, SVS easily has the "other guys" beat. The woofer and port are both front firing from a common baffle (a whopping one inch thick!). An internal CNC'd brace makes the large panels solid as a rock. The narrow profile and front firing design allows you to tuck your PB10-NSD into tight spaces, with only the power cord and input cable clearance as a consideration. Underneath, you'll find the PB10-NSD comes with threaded, removable, ultra-compliant synthetic rubber feet. And not just four as you might expect, but six to maximize stability and allow you to put this sub on  any sort of surface. You can remove these costly fittings if you want to slide the PB10-NSD around a carpeted room to experiment with different locations; and either reinstall them when you're done or run without them, they are "blind" airtight fittings even when the feet are not used. Simple, elegant, just the sort of features you expect from SVS.
With the competition, you can expect things like and exposed woofer hitting thick carpeting and/or plastic spiked feet vibrating on hard surfaces (requiring furniture cups or a throw rug to quiet things down). SVS digs deep to ensure you won't be making ANY apologies for your PB10-NSD. We know it's a bit old fashioned, but SVS believes in offering the highest quality components at a fair price, rather than cutting corners just to increase profits. Given thousands and thousands sold all over the world, we think we're on the right track.
Precision Tuned High-Flow Port
 The PB10-NSD employs a computer-designed and patented high-flow, low-noise, dual-flare port that is made just for SVS. This port is the industry standard in high efficiency vented subwoofer systems, and features a huge new 3.5" inside diameter (ID), gently flaring to a nearly 6" at the outside. These high flow flares allow the port to breathe with the effectiveness of much larger competitive solutions - is it any surprise we use them? We even take the time to have the port flush mounted (using CNC machining of course) into the PB10-NSD cabinet. Perfectly fitting foam seals are carefully applied by hand in our factory to ensure it is snug and performs like a high end audio component should. At this price point, you'll only get this level of attention and detail from SVS.
Custom Finish and Color-keyed Grill
For some folks, the way a sub looks is often as important as its performance. With the PB10-NSD you give up neither world-class performance or simple, elegant styling. The removable grill covering our exclusive woofer and adjacent port is one of the many little touches defying the affordable price. Take a look at the chrome steel pins for fastening the grill to your sub (vice the typical cheap plastic fittings you have seen before on other brands). With or without this cover in place, your SVS is one hot looking "entry level" sub. We won't tell your friends and family it was so affordable if you don't!
Response Curve
Quasi-anechoic frequency response: Standard smoothed data measured with high resolution instrumentation (1/60th octave) via "ground plane" technique, outdoors, at two meters' distance, a minimum of 70 feet from reflective boundaries .
Note: In-room extension, with corner placement, will typically yield 3-5Hz greater linear extension than indicated. Results will vary based on room size, seat distance from your SVS, and subwoofer location. Graph not meant to depict maximum playback SPLs which will result from setup in your unique room. |
