About this app

The SVS app is the easiest way to unleash the full potential of your SVS 17-Ultra RIEvolution, 16-Ultra, 4000 Series, 3000 Series, 3000 Micro, 3000 In-Wall, 2000 Pro Series, and 1000 Pro Series subwoofers by allowing advanced DSP functionality and optimization based on your room, speakers and personal listening preferences.

The SVS app lets you do simple things like control volume and create custom presets that enable easy, one-touch tuning for music, movies, and other content. More advanced functionality of the SVS subwoofer app includes the ability to correct room anomalies and fine-tune low frequency output so you can enjoy the full depth, force, and nuance from the world’s finest subwoofers.

When used with your SVS subwoofer, the app takes the mystery out of subwoofer digital signal processing (DSP) by clearly explaining each feature and providing easy control from your mobile device. If you’re new to subwoofer DSP, the SVS app has a helpful tutorial that guides you through the different settings.

With a few simple adjustments, you can eliminate boomy spots, set crossover frequencies, and make other adjustments to get the deepest, tightest, and most accurate in-room response possible from your SVS subwoofer. You can make adjustments from the comfort of your favorite seat or even when the subwoofer is not in site.

With SVS, you can easily optimize settings for:
• Volume Control
• Low Pass Filter
• Phase
• Polarity
• Parametric EQ
• Room Gain Compensation
• Port Tuning (Ported models only)
• Custom Presets
• System Settings
• Subwoofer Front Display (16-Ultra, 4000 Series and 3000 In-Wall only)

The SVS app works with Adndroid 8.0 or newer. The app is also available for SVS 13-Ultra Amplifier Upgrade Kits for existing owners of the SVS SB13, PB13, PC13-Ultra, PB12-PLUS, and PC12-PLUS Subwoofers.

Ratings and reviews

Not very intuitive, needs a lot of work. Is slow to connect to subwoofers, takes forever to load controls! The presets are very limited and are not user friendly to save or load. Is not intelligent enough to say that Bluetooth is not turned on. Rather shows incorrect, fake subwoofer information! Switching between devices is crazy slow too. Volume takes forever to load.

This app used to be fine, slow to connect sometimes, and a tiny bit clunky, but it added significant functions! But since this last update, it now asks for location information.... I don't need my subwoofers remote spying on my location... so I denied and the app won't open. Not only won't it open, but it won't go away, I can't get it to go away, it pops up over other apps, as if it's still trying to start. Not a good update. (Connecting to a pair of Ultra16s SB)

The app is OK when working with a single sub. It really needs redefining when working with multiple, though. Choosing which sub to operate brings lots of pop-ups and unnecessary warnings that slow down the whole process. I found that sometimes I only want to adjust the level of both subs equally, and it's a pain. I would prefer to have a "virtual" sub in the app that can do simple things on both subs at the same time, like adjusting volume and switching on/off room gain or other "toggle" setting
