CONNECTING & CONTROLLING YOUR SUBWOOFER

Presets

Allows up to three pre-saved settings for movie, music and custom. This enables easy switching 

to optimize your PB16-Ultras output and settings based on your specific listening preferences 

with different kinds of content.  If using the SVS App, these presets can be renamed as desired.

Port Tuning 

Port blocking allows custom tuning of your PB16-Ultra Subwoofer based on listening preference 

by exchanging max output for low frequency depth and quickness.  Be sure to use the included 

foam port plugs and match port blocking with the selected tuning.
