You might be able to hear a very faint sound like that - but only with your ear near the back of the amp. I can't hear it at all with either of my 1000 Pro subs. If you can hear it at the listening position, that is absolutely not normal and the amps (or the subs) should be replaced...

We made several engineering changes to the PB-1000 Pro that results in some weight savings: The grill went from MDF to plastic injection mold. The PB-1000 bracing layout had more MDF due to the size and diagonal path of the single port. The new PB-1000 Pro ports have a much more uniform...

You can contact SVS CS with the diagram, layout and images and we'll advise on the best location to mount the Prime Elevation speakers in accordance with Dolby's recommendations. Thanks.

Front heights are supported by your AVR as an option. With that said supported doesn't mean optimal. The best location for your height effects channels is shown in the Dolby link I provided above. With only one set of height effects speakers, placing them on the front wall will not result...

Mount the Prime Elevation speakers on the ceiling or high on the side walls (in the same horizontal plane) consistent with the speaker placement shown in this 5.1.2 set-up link. Classify them as either top middle or top front - whichever ends up being the closest match.

We have a technique to remove a sticky plate amp which doesn't damage the plate or the cabinet. Contact SVS at custservice@svsound.com for details and we'll take care of you. KenM10759 is correct - there is no adhesive on the plate. Either the foam gasket is being stubborn or the MDF cabinet...

That is definitely the smarter play - wouldn't want to see you toast that nice amp.

The impedance of any loudspeaker will vary greatly with frequency. While the nominal impedance of the Prime Tower is considerably higher than 4 ohms - it does drop to 4 ohms over a portion of the pass band. So I would not wire these speakers in parallel unless you are confident the amplifier...

What is your source for movies? Are you streaming or using a Blu-ray player? If you are streaming, have you confirmed the source is bitstreaming DD 5.1? When you move around the room, are there locations in the room where the bass is much stronger compared to the MLP?

A lot of Netflix currently is DD 5.1+. But your AVR will upconvert any DD 5.1 track to Dolby Surround, which will give you convincing overhead height effects even if it's not a native Atmos soundtrack. Personally I would take 5.1.4 over 7.1.2 because I find 4 overhead channels more immersive...

The SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System kit comes with M6, M8 and 1/4-20 machine screws - all 20 mm long. M10 is not included. If the subwoofer in question requires a different size machine screw, that can easily be sourced at a hardware store or on-line. Observe the following dim...

If you have the subs in opposite corners, it's possible that setting the actual distance for each will result in a cancellation null. If you have REW, you can try both subs on the same sub-out and then phase them for the optimal combined FR and then run Audyssey after that. I only recommend...

Yes, MultEQ stays enabled if you change the crossover. You can go up (higher) in crossover but not down (deeper). Glad it's sounding better!

That is exactly correct. It may result in better SQ and level matching afterwards if there was a large null at one or more of your measurement locations. There could also be a large null at the MLP measurement location, which you should determine using the Audyssey app and/or independent...

Try re-running set-up again. Make sure the PB-2000s phase is set to 0 and the low pass is set to LFE (full clockwise). Also, are both subs on the same wall? Carefully level match each subwoofer to exactly 75 dB per the Audyssey set-up. If you do this, the overall subwoofer channel level...

You won't get your original investment amount if you sell it - and then when you need a subwoofer again for any application (music or HT) you'll be facing a new and more expensive purchase. We do still have some BASH amps in stock for the dual driver subs - but you could also switch to an...

OK thanks for clarifying - I figured as much when you said Channel B. So to summarize - set the low pass to LFE when connected to the AVR and set the low pass to 80 Hz (or w/e frequency works best with your speakers) when connected to the stereo receiver speaker level outputs. And...

The low pass filter on the subwoofer equally affects both line level and speaker level connections.

The low pass filter should be set to LFE for connection to an AV receiver, because the receiver is already sending a low-passed signal to the subwoofer. When you refer to 'Channel B for the line level inputs' - do you mean the speaker level inputs (i.e. speaker wire and binding posts)? The...

The SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System feet are great for wooden floor applications where you can get floor boom/resonance and also associated buzz/rattle. If the flooring surface is concrete slab - there won't be any benefit because concrete doesn't transmit much tactile energy in the...
