Ported Cylinder Subwoofers
Ported Subwoofer Punch, Tall Dark and Handsome Profile
When you don’t have the floor space or layout to accommodate the larger footprint of a ported box, cylinder ported powered subwoofers might be your best answer. With height and modest circumference, they match the enclosure volume of their stout ported-box counterparts. Tucked in the corner, these subwoofers can deliver immense audio punch to movies and music played back at high levels. They are right at home in space and style-restricted large rooms—great rooms, and home theaters, putting truly high end audio performance into a small footprint.
SVS President Gary Yacoubian shares five things to listen for when choosing a subwoofer for your home theater of HiFi system.
Deep-tuned, high-flow porting allows maximum output reinforcement at the deepest ‘rolling-thunder’ frequencies.
Iconic SVS cylinder design uses height to achieve optimal enclosure volume. The result: excellent deep bass efficiency and output.
Cylinder design matches SVS ported cabinet performance but with smaller footprint. Gives more placement options in space and layout confined home theaters.
Sophisticated high end Class D amplifier provides custom DSP (digital signal processing) for effortless performance and refinement at all volume levels.
