It is best to familiarize yourself with the subwoofer connections and the rear panel of your AV receiver or preamplier before setting your subwoofer up. Be sure your SB16-Ultra is switched to O before plugging it in or connecting to your AV receiver. Its also best to use cables with secure connections for optimal bass performance. In addition to the IR Remote Control and front panel control interface, weve developed the convenient SVS mobile app for both Apple iOS and Google Android that allows you to make adjustments for room layout, personal preferences, movies vs. music, and more. Its the best way to ne tune your subwoofer for perfect performance from the comfort of your favorite seat. A full explanation of all the advanced subwoofer DSP controls is available on pages 15-18 in this manual, as well as in the SVS subwoofer app tutorial. The following sections cover basic connec-

tions and control settings when integrating the SB16-Ultra into a surround sound or two channel system. BACK PANEL FEATURES UNBALANCED (RCA) LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS UNBALANCED (RCA) LINE LEVEL INPUTS 3V-12V TRIGGER INPUT BALANCED (XLR) LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS BALANCED (XLR) LINE LEVEL INPUTS AC POWER CORD RECEPTACLE ON/OFF SWITCH owners manual | page 5 SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER AC Power Connection CONNECTING & CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER Connect the subwoofer power cord to the subwoofer amplier and directly into an AC outlet. Convenience outlets located on the rear panel of some AV receivers or pre/pros are NOT recom-

mended for your SB16-Ultra as these outlets are not meant for high power devices. Line Level Connection Single LFE Channel The most common way to connect your SB16-Ultra is with a single RCA or XLR interconnect cable going from the LFE or SUB1 Output on your AV receiver or preamplier to the LFE Input on your SB16-Ultra. This allows your processor to perform the upstream bass management and send the subwoofer a pre-ltered mono signal. RECEIVER/PREAMP LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS SUBWOOFER

(SUB1) CENTER REAR FRONT Line Level Connection Stereo Receiver or Preamplier Left/Right Channels Both Left and Right inputs on your SB16-Ultra can be used in a two-channel stereo application with a stereo preamplier that has Left and Right line level or Balanced (XLR) outputs. Connect the left and right outputs of your preamplier to the left and right line level inputs of the SB16-Ultra using RCA or XLR interconnects. page 6 | owners manual SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER CONNECTING & CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER Line Level Connection Stereo Receiver or Preamplier Left/Right Channels (contd) RECEIVER/PREAMP LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS REAR FRONT L R Enable and adjust the on-board low pass lter of the SB16-Ultra for a smooth blend with the main speakers.

The other compo-

nent in the system must be equipped with a trigger output feature and requires a TS 1/8 mono 1/8 TS MONO CABLE owners manual | page 7 SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER CONNECTING & CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER Connecting Multiple Subwoofers or Going Dual Running two or more subwoofers has many acoustic benets such as: improved frequency response throughout the listening area, fewer peaks and nulls, increased output and decreased bass localization. The RCA and XLR Outputs provide an easy way to integrate multiple SB16-Ultras or other subwoofers into your audio system. Many AV Receivers and Surround Processors have more than one subwoofer output. As described previously, you can run a single connection from each subwoofer output to each of your subwoofers. RECEIVER/PREAMP LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS SUBWOOFER

(SUB1) SUBWOOFER

(SUB2) CENTER REAR FRONT If you have more subwoofers than Sub Outputs from your AV Receiver, an easy solution is to use an RCA splitter or RCA Y-adapter to divide the subwoofer output. This is the most commonly recommended way to connect multiple subwoofers when there is only one Sub Out. RECEIVER/PREAMP LINE LEVEL OUTPUTS SUBWOOFER

(SUB1) CENTER REAR FRONT Another option is to use the Left and Right RCA or XLR outputs on the SB16-Ultra to Daisy Chain additional subwoofers. Its important to use the matching output and input terminals. For example, if you are using the RCA inputs, be sure to use the RCA outputs to daisy chain to the next subwoofer. NOTE: While the settings of each subwoofer should be similar, you will probably nd that each sub will need to be calibrated for optimal performance because of its unique room placement. Regardless of how you use your subwoofer, experimentation can often result in better sound. Don't be afraid to try dierent settings, you can always return the controls to their defaults.

Set the SB16-Ultra volume to -10 before running auto-set-up in the AV receiver/processor. NOTE: Always re-run AV Receiver auto-set-up after moving the subwoofer to a dierent location to ensure the acoustic distance and calibration level are set correctly. NOTE: If you want to run the subwoofer louder than the initial auto-set-up level, adjust the subwoofer channel level upward in the AV receiver menu until you get the experience and performance you want. An increase of 2-4 dB louder than initial set-up level is common for many customers. Volume can be controlled from your mobile device via the Free SVS App, from the IR Remote Control, or using the buttons on the front panel interface. Please consult the Advanced Subwoofer Controls section of this manual or contact our SVS Sound Experts if you have questions about any of the control settings. www.svsound.com custservice@svsound.com (877) 626-5623 Control Settings for Stereo Receiver or Pre-Amplier Most Stereo Receivers and Pre-Ampliers do not have bass management. Instead you will use the Left and Right full-range outputs and make adjustments through the DSP amplier on the subwoofer. Be sure to connect both Left and Right outputs to the Left and Right inputs on the subwoofer. Set the Low Pass Filter to On and adjust the Crossover Frequency and Slope to achieve a smooth blend and transition with the main speakers. Once blended, adjust the Subwoofer volume to match the volume level of your main speakers. For ner tuning, our Merlin Subwoofer Selection Tool provides the recommended low pass lter frequency and slope setting for most loudspeakers on the market. Just choose your brand and model of speakers from the menus and Merlin does the rest. Its available 24/7, 365 at www.svsound.com/merlin. Our SVS Sound Experts are also standing by to help with any connection or control questions you have about any of the controls or settings. NOTE: Volume and low pass lter can be controlled from your mobile device via the Free SVS App, from the IR Remote Control, or using the buttons on the front panel interface. page 10 | owners manual SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER SUBWOOFER ROOM PLACEMENT Placement of subwoofers is a process driven by competing variables that dier in every home. Dcor, oor space, furniture, speaker placement, seating location, and of course, sound quality all factor into the decision of where a subwoofer should be placed. If you have exibility, theres an artistry to subwoofer placement that can be aided by understanding some basic acoustic principles and set-up techniques. If you are limited to a single subwoofer location, its best to nd the ideal listening location in the room. Youll notice as you move through the room, bass response will vary signicantly. This is due to the complex pattern of standing sound waves in the room. Sometimes simply moving a few feet in any given direction can improve the balance and accuracy dramatically. Once you nd the subwoofer sweet spot in the room reserve that seat for yourself!

Corner Placement Corner placement of a subwoofer reduces the potential to encounter nulls, which are acoustic cancellation points or dead spots in the room. While this can often make for hugely impactful bass, it can sometimes result in a boomy sound depending on your listening position. If you experience this, you can use the tuning controls to blend your SB16-Ultra more smoothly with your speakers or try pulling it further away from the walls to smooth out the bass response. owners manual | page 11 SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER Front Placement SUBWOOFER ROOM PLACEMENT Front of the room placement in between or just to the side of the front channel speakers is another common choice. Front of the room placement usually results in the best blending with the main speakers and center channel and minimizes localization eects. Side Wall Placement Side wall placement is less frequently used but can be an eective subwoofer location for excellent accuracy and output. page 12 | owners manual SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER SUBWOOFER ROOM PLACEMENT Dual Subwoofer Placement Based on our own extensive testing, and research done by the professional audio community, we recommend the following placement options for dual subwoofers:

Opposite diagonal front/rear corners. At the mid-points of the side walls. Front stage in the corners. Front stage anking the center channel to the inside of the main speakers. While the rst two options are proven performers with typically excellent results, they are often dicult to implement in a living/family room environment. All rooms are dierent, so we recom-

mend staying exible and trying all possible placement options for the best results. owners manual | page 13 SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER SUBWOOFER CONTROL OPTIONS Your SVS SB16-Ultra Subwoofer can be controlled from the new SVS Mobile App, an included IR Remote Control or via the front panel for unprecedented exibility when optimizing performance for room layout, speakers, system set-up and more.

UP ENTER DOWN BACK page 14 | owners manual SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER Volume ADVANCED SUBWOOFER CONTROLS Setting the level too high will cause the bass to seem bloated and is the single most common cause of bad sounding subwoofers. A rule of thumb is that the subwoofer should not draw attention to itself, but should simply make the systems low end seem more extended and accurate. Dierent content has dierent levels of output so adjust volume based on source material and your personal preference. Low Pass Filter Enables smooth sonic transition and at frequency response between speakers and the subwoofer. If using an AV Receiver with a Subwoofer Output, leave in the OFF position. This allows you to control the upper frequency cut-o to blend with main speakers. It also allows you to adjust slope, or the rate at which the low pass lter rolls o. Phase Adjustment Solves sound wave cancellation issues at specic frequencies and perfectly aligns the arrival of output from speakers and subwoofers to your listening position. Normally set to 0 if the subwoofer is near the main speakers. Adjusting Phase shifts timing of the subwoofer output to align with the main speakers or additional subwoofers. Polarity In some cases, reversing polarity solves dips or humps at the crossover frequency between a subwoofer and speaker and can be used to x bass nulls or overly boomy spots in the listening area. Reversing the electrical polarity of the subwoofer amplier makes it so the woofer moves in when speaker drivers move out and is normally set to positive Parametric EQ Powerful tool for removing peaks and dips in your listening area, and for creating custom subwoofer output based on personal listening preferences. Works best when used with acoustic measurements. Allows you to set the desired center frequency of the lter, increase or decrease the SPL dB of the lter, or adjust the bandwidth of the lter. Room Gain Compensation Fixes bloated sounding bass by optimizing low frequency output and extension when too much sound wave density is being created by a small room. owners manual | page 15 SB16-Ultra SUBWOOFER Presets CONNECTING & CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER Allows up to three pre-saved settings for movie, music and custom.
