Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your SVS SB-1000 Pro 10 Inch Sealed Subwoofer with SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter. The SB-1000 Pro delivers deep, rich tones, enhancing movies, music, and games. Its compact design and piano gloss black finish blend seamlessly with various home decors.

Setup
Unpacking
- Carefully remove the subwoofer and SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter from the packaging.
- Inspect all components for any signs of damage.
- Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.
Placement
Optimal subwoofer placement can significantly impact performance. Consider placing the subwoofer in a corner for maximum output, or along a wall for a balanced sound. Experiment with different locations to find the best acoustic integration with your room and main speakers. The SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter provides flexibility, allowing placement without being restricted by audio cable runs.
Connections
The SB-1000 Pro offers multiple connection options:
- LFE Input: For home theater receivers with a dedicated subwoofer output, connect a single RCA cable from the receiver's LFE/Subwoofer output to the subwoofer's LFE input.
- Stereo RCA Inputs: For stereo systems or receivers without an LFE output, connect RCA cables from your pre-amp or receiver's stereo outputs to the subwoofer's Left and Right RCA inputs.
- Speaker Level Inputs: For receivers or amplifiers without line-level outputs, connect speaker wires from your amplifier's speaker terminals to the subwoofer's speaker level inputs.
- Wireless Connection (SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter):
- Connect the SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter Transmitter to your audio source (e.g., receiver's LFE output) using an RCA cable.
- Connect the SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter Receiver to the SB-1000 Pro's LFE input using an RCA cable.
- Power both the Transmitter and Receiver using the provided 5V DC power adapters.
- Ensure both units are paired (refer to SoundPath Adapter manual for pairing instructions if needed).

Operating
Power On/Off
The SB-1000 Pro features an auto-on/off function. The subwoofer will automatically power on when an audio signal is detected and enter standby mode after a period of inactivity. You can also manually power the unit on or off using the power switch on the rear panel.
SVS Subwoofer Control App
The SVS Subwoofer Control App (available for iOS and Android) provides convenient control over all DSP functions, including volume, crossover frequency, phase, polarity, and the three-band parametric EQ. This allows for precise tuning from your listening position, optimizing performance for your specific room and system.
