SVS PC-4000 13.5” 1200W Cylinder Subwoofer Overview

You have never heard or seen bass quite like this.

The SVS PC-4000 13.5” 1200W Cylinder Subwoofer delivers breathtaking reference quality bass without taking up as much floor space as traditional subwoofers. This unique and elegant powered subwoofer measures a mere 16-inches in diameter and delivers ground shaking, wall rattling bass all the way down to 15Hz. Featuring a powerful 1,200 watt amplifier, an advanced 50Mhz High Resolution Analog Devices Audio DSP, and a customizable EQ, the SVS PC-4000 13.5” 1200W Cylinder Subwoofer lets you experience majestic and complex bass without overpowering the rest of your audio soundstage, and without any distortion.

Product Information

Reference Caliber Bass with Less Floorspace Required

With a footprint measuring just 16” in diameter, the iconic cylinder subwoofer design is only available from SVS and achieves unparalleled low frequency output and deep bass extension per inch of floor-space. Sophisticated DSP technology in the PC-4000 creates three port-tuning modes, each with individual response curves to achieve the most accurate in-room frequency response possible. The PC-4000 also comes standard with the SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System for cleaner sounding bass with increased definition and more punch without room rattle and reduced bass bleed to the rest of the house.

High Current Output of Discrete MOSFETs with Efficiency of Class D Amplifier

Combines the efficiency of a Class D amplifier design with the ability to move massive amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs, enabling immense low frequency output and precise driver control. Put simply, outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels.

Sophisticated 50Mhz High Resolution Analog Devices Audio DSP

Most advanced digital processor ever used in a subwoofer maintains pinpoint accuracy and pristine sound quality through advanced in-room tuning, optimized frequency response curves, powerful DSP controls, and more.

Room Gain

Maximizes the subwoofer’s ability to take control of a room and benefit from the acoustic potential of the space it occupies by tailoring the roll off slope. The effect is accurate frequency response with staggeringly deep in-room extension – often as low as 10Hz - without the “boominess” commonly associated with room gain.

Port Tuning

Each response curve for the three port tuning modes; standard, extended and sealed, is fully configured to the respective mode to achieve perfectly balanced and accurate low frequency response with all tuning preferences.

Advanced Limiting

Allows the amplifier to deliver all the way to the limits of its rated power and maximize on the driver’s potential with massive output and no distortion.

Active Power Factor Correction (PFC)

Serves as a line conditioner, surge suppressor, and voltage regulator letting the amplifier deal with wide voltage fluctuations and ensuring the subwoofers operate flawlessly on any household circuit, no matter how unstable the incoming current.

An isolated circuit creates a vanishingly low noise floor by eliminating the potential for ground loop hums from outside components resulting in absolute sonic transparency.

Legendary SVS Output and Control

SVS 4000 Series drivers handle every watt of the Sledge STA-1200D amplifier’s power with precision and control to produce room energizing SPLs and effortless low frequency extension with pinpoint accuracy at all drive levels.

  • Dual ferrite magnet motor assembly weighing nearly 40lbs generates immense magnetic force and excursion of the 13.5-inch driver to produce massive low frequency output well below the limits of human hearing.
  • Edge-wound voice coil with eight-layer aluminum flat wire minimizes distortion and power compression while providing excellent heat dissipation and linearity ensuring precise control.
  • Lightweight and rigid composite cone with premium glass fiber dustcap generate massive output with pinpoint accurate frequency response.
  • Proprietary injection molded gasket and long-throw parabolic surround ensure longevity and allow extreme excursion and SPLs.

Easiest Way Ever to Manage Subwoofer DSP and Control

Groundbreaking smartphone app works with Apple iOS and Android devices to unleash the full depth, force, and nuance of the 4000 Series subwoofers by controlling all DSP functions including: volume, parametric EQ, low pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain, port-tuning, custom presets, and system settings.

  • Connects via Bluetooth for convenient control even when subwoofer is out of sight.
  • 3-band parametric EQ controller allows precise adjustments for frequency slope and Q factor down to the single Hz level with four different slopes, so users can improve performance by eliminating peaks, nulls and other room issues.
  • Stores 3 custom presets for movies, music and other listening experiences such as sports or gaming.
  • 2-way feedback shows updates in real time on both the app and subwoofer interface.

Acoustically Inert and Rigidly Braced

Inlaid front panel display, rounded edges, and a curved metal grille on the 4000 Series cabinet give it a refined yet commanding look that blends visually with home theaters and high-end audio systems.

  • Double thick 2-inch MDF front baffle and rigid internal bracing to support the massive drive unit and to ensure an acoustically inert environment.
  • Highly reinforced internal design and acoustic insulation eliminates all coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume.
  • Protective, non-resonant steel mesh grille and custom elastomer feet for reducing noise artifacts within a room.

1,200 watts of power

The SVS PC-4000 is driven by a powerful 1,200 watt amplifier that pushes an extraordinary amount of current resulting in clear and clean high-volume output. The amp also features a state-of-the-art digital signal processor (DSP) that controls power flow to ensure clear output no matter what you are listening to and no matter the volume. The SVS PC-4000 also features three port tuning modes - standard, extended and sealed. Each tuning port is configured for balanced and accurate low frequency response.

Quality Components

Our friends at SVS did not overlook any detail when they designed the SVS PC-4000 13.5” 1200W Cylinder Subwoofer. Let’s start with the brilliant cylinder design. SVS lets you get big speaker box sound without having to take up big speaker box floor space. The modestly rated 1200 watt amplifier, dual ferrite magnet motor assembly, edge wound voice coil and rigid composite cone  work in unison to push massive amounts of air while limiting speaker vibration and unwanted noise. The Elastomer feet on the cabinet reduce floor and wall vibration, creating cleaner bass production. And the MDF cabinet that houses all of the speaker components reduce vibration and distortion. You don’t need to be a sound engineer to understand this speaker produces musical and articulate bass.

Groundbreaking smartphone app

Download the free SVS app for your Android or iOS device and gain total control over your PC-4000 right from your smartphone. The SVS app lets you tweak and fine tune all of the subwoofer's DSP functions including: volume, parametric EQ, low pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain, port-tuning, custom presets, and system settings. The app allows you to save favorite settings and presets making it easy to set the mood with music. Dial back the bass during dinner, turn it up when you are ready to rock out to your favorite tunes. No matter what genre or occasion, the SVS PC-4000 will add exciting depth to all of your home audio.

Finally went dual...
Bought my first PC-4000 back in 2018, upgrading from a PB-1000. I've been enjoying it ever since. I've always wanted to upgrade to multiple subs and finally pulled the trigger. Now I have to go around and chase down the "NEW" rattles that have been uncovered by the extra energy in the room, a "problem" I'm happy to have.
I have always enjoyed SVS products and their customer service is second to none!
From my first purchase where my e-mail questions were answered by Ed Mullen, to the event I attended in 2019 where I was able to interact with several members of their team, I have always felt that they care and genuinely want to provide the best product/experience they can regardless of price.

It took some time, but it was worth it!
I have 2 PC4000's in my living room set up as bookcase ends to my Ultra Towers and Ultra Center. Slightly behind and above the sofa are the Ultra Surrounds. I have a Denon 4700 set up as a pre-amp and a Parasound A51 running the show. It took lots of trial and error to dial in the sound, but after a month of fiddling, this thing we created is unlike anything I've ever heard. The bass rattles the iron grates on my gas range (30 ft away), and the mids and highs can be uncomfortably loud if I want them to be. The sweet spot is about 60% power where the sound is full, crisp, deep, and enveloping. All in, I'm north of $15K but if you have the means and want a $50K system for a fraction of that, SVS and Parasound is the way to go!

SVS PC-4000..."You Should've Added Another 5 Stars"!!
First off, before reviewing the PC-4000, 'ALL' companies should follow SVS's model for how Customer Satisfaction should be done. NO, not whatever a Customer DEMANDs, but how Customer Support and Tech help is just plain handled by them. SVS gives you the 'REAL FEEL' in being part of their family. You are VERY important to the Crew!! I know this from my experience with Ryan and Scott. I talked with Ryan more, and by the time I would get off the phone, and Emails, he made feel like we were good friends, not just customer, and customer service associate. He took care of issues I didn't even know they should've had deal with on their end, when I bought the Sub from somewhere else!!...Well, now to the Sub. This is THE Best Sub I've ever heard or experienced! And fortunate for me the SPACE it fit in. (See Pics). I wanted a LARGE Cabinet, but nothing was going to fit in the corner, when I decided to upgrade from my 'Emotiva Ultra 12'. We have (slim styled) Def Tech Mythos 1's, and we love them even though they are getting older. So, in case I need to replace them in the future, there was NO WAY I could fit any other Tower Speaker in there with a Larger Cubed Sub. The depths of Bass this baby goes down to, is unreal!! No sign of giving up or giving out. The Magnet 'ALONE' weighs 8 LBS more than my whole old Subwoofer! WOW. The build quality is top notch. What design Geniuses they are!! So, simple yet so functionable. Thank you so much SVS for your Ingenius Designers. Those Pinnacle Towers I've been checking into will now fit the space if I decide on them.

Dual PC4000's
Man, from the phone call ordering them, to shipping time, EVERY interaction with SVS was top shelf. I feel I am pretty critical, but Doug (the person I talked to when ordering) was incredible and extremely knowledgeable!! Now to the subwoofers...HOLY COW! I have had many subs in my system, from DIY to higher end subwoofers. NONE have come close. They aren't even in the same universe if I am honest! Tons of headroom, tons of impact and a small footprint. What more could I ask for?? And the wireless system is great because there are no wires running from the pre-amp to the subwoofers for a clean install! Only thing I might suggest (and it may not be possible) is for SVS to include a USB port to power the wireless receiver(s) for an even cleaner installation. If I could have given these subs 6 stars I would have, but I was limited to 5.

PC-4000 Added to my system
I have 2 pc-4000 on my front stage, added this third to the back, still in the process of integrating into the system, using a mini dsp hd to control. Don’t know if I should go standard or extended mode on the subs?

Simply Amazing Bass that Continues to Amaze even after 2 years
I wanted to wait to review these subs until I had the chance to enjoy them and test in my 7.2.4 reference home theater. These tubes of awesomeness not only save space and look cool, they also reach way down to bass levels not advertised. In extended they go to 10hz and down to 8hz in sealed in my room. That is incredibly low and the sound quality in music and movies is better than I could have ever thought. Everyone loves watching movies here as it is better than the theaters. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X IMAX Enhanced mixes sound and feel like like and this pair of subs is a major part of why. Even at lower volumes the bass fills the environment as the source disappears into the listening area. If you are space limited and yet do not want to settle, these are the subs for you! No regrets as this subs continue to surprise me and make watching or listening a truly enjoyable experience. I am so glad I upgraded my system from the Def Tech subs. Best choice I made and the customer service is better than their products. The legendary service and sound is a well earned reputation. System is Pioneer Elite Andrew Jones towers, bookshelfs and center with Onkyo RZ series THX, IMAX Enhanced 7.2.4 receiver, with additional stero amp for rear channels, running all AudioQuest cables, connectors and speaker wire. Panamax 5400 power conditioner with upgraded AQ Edison power outlet and upgraded power cables to components, except the subs as they run better with the OEM power cables.

I can feel the movie - WOW !
I'm am a new to home theater Systems and after figuring out how to set up the PC-4000, I can now feel the movie! WOW ! Before reading and following SVS's article on "Subwoofer Calibration for Home Theater Systems" I was a bit nervous that I had a problem with my new PC-4000 subwoofer. After following SVS's subwoofer calibration procedure WOW - WOW - WOW !

Must have, worth every dollar, won’t regret it
Great product, very easy to setup; I love the small footprint. The SVS app works fantastic. I would highly recommend the PC-4000 if you are looking for something that can be placed anywhere in your home. The bass of this product is impressive. To test out this product, the first movie I played was 6 Underground, and it didn't disappoint; my fiancé was blown and now loves the experience she has every time she watches a movie. Also, excellent customer service, friendly, answered all my questions before purchasing, helped with calibrating processing and always got back to me promptly.
