Looks, quality, performance are evident in every part of this sub.

It's no accident.  At SVS we consistently use the best, NOT the least expensive suppliers when designing and building a new model.  Be it the swanky grill, or the incredibly new amp technology, they are all results of 3 years of tireless work with the top audio suppliers around the world.  Pick up an SB12NSD grill, examine it close, and you'll see it has soft rubber grommets affixed to ensure quiet, resonance-free operation, even at high sound pressure levels.  Precision metal work like we demonstrate is rare in today's audio industry.

Dig deeper and you'll see our latest generation, hand built SVS 12" NSD woofer, and of course the new 400 watt DSP controlled amp with full crossover (defeatable), variable phase, custom finish and detachable power cord.  Go ahead and compare this kind of quality with products at virtually any price.  No surprise, the new Sledge^TM amps have more guts, more control, more reliability.  Fewer gimmicks, more beef.  That they cost us more, and that SVS uses them anyway is just the sort of thing we're known for of course.

True story: Our staff TRIED to kill one of the early STA-400D samples and gave up during the 2010 CES in Las Vegas.  SVS's factory manager have the SB12NSD prototype 30 seconds' listen and made it quire clear "this was no SB12Plus."  And remember, we loved that old sub.

The latest woofers use loads of Plus-derived woofer power, including the custom stamped.  SVS woofers are only made by or exclusively for SVS under our engineers' supervision and QC.

Suffice it to say we've gotten over our first small sub's success, the departed SB12Plus.  Now with state of the art audio DSP, fine tuning from our engineers have blunted the impact of physics ... this new small subwoofer is so flat, so deep and so powerful you might even question why bigger subs exist.

Better than even we expected it to be, the SB12NSD keeps the legendary neutral and balanced SVS sound with flat response.  And just under 14" on all sides with grill off.  DSP guts, SVS woofers, slick new enclosures and grills.  Pity the overpriced boutique subs.

Why a micro?  A million small reasons.  Performance is now one fewer.

SVS is one of the few brands that will tell you this: If you can "afford" one of our bigger subs ... from the standpoint of the larger floor space requirement ... by all means, consider something of a similar price class, such as the PB12NSD or even one that's less expensive like the PB10NSD.

If you need room rattling power, the ultimate depth, AND want a small footprint too?  Then our exclusive space-saving Powered Cylinder subs should be on your short list to evaluate.  Even if perfectly designed, no truly small sub like the SB12NSD will compete with an equally well-designed large subwoofer (particularly if it's one of our super-efficient vented subwoofers such as those mentioned just above).

We can however outgun anything in the world of small subs when you consider both size and price.  We'll be blunt, there is no sub that is less expensive that is better, and few in this size class half as good at twice the price.  Schedule a listening session and be forever spoiled for quality bass.  Experience a sub 10 years in the making.
