“Summing up what makes this subwoofer such an impressive performer requires just two words: size and power. Whether it’s the huge cabinet (with three mighty high-flow ports), the monstrous 16in driver or the 1.5kW Class-D amplifier, nothing about this SVS woofer is shy or retiring. Yet with movie sound mixes or music, it matches its room-filling presence with poise, control and exquisite lows. Setup is aided by onboard parametric EQ, with smartphone app operation making access and user adjustment an absolute breeze. A concrete fist inside a velvet glove, the PB16-Ultra is a subwoofer fit for the finest of home theatres. A huge cabinet combines with a massive driver for a truly monstrous bass.”

“Edge of Tomorrow offers an LFE masterclass, and a nice surprise right at the film’s beginning. As the opening Village Roadshow logo fIickers on screen. the sound designers add a portentous sequence of varied low frequency tones, signalling the alien invasion drama to come. They’re mixed deep and loud and the PB16 Ultra has the reach to handle each tone in succession, including the oh-so-low final note, its driver rollicking in its surround relishing the sub-bass challenge without losing its grip. Cut to the initial drop-ship sequence and mimic flight (‘drop or die’) and the PB16 Ultra continues to ratchet up the drama, supplying rich notes to the moody orchestral soundtrack, lowly rumbles to the background carnage and a massive slam as Emily Blunt emerges from the wreck and then dies (but doesn’t). It’s jaw-on-the-floor stuff.”
