The SVS PB16-Ultra is designed for easy set-up and integration in both multi-channel home 

theater and two-channel (stereo) systems. It is best to familiarize yourself with the subwoofer 

connections and the rear panel of your AV receiver or preamplifier before setting your subwoofer 

up. Be sure your PB16-Ultra is switched to Off before plugging it in or connecting to your 

AV receiver. It’s also best to use cables with secure connections for optimal bass performance.

In addition to the IR Remote Control and front panel control interface, we’ve developed the 

convenient SVS mobile app for both Apple® iOS® and Google Android™ that allows you to make 

adjustments for room layout, personal preferences, movies vs. music, and more. It’s the best way 

to fine tune your subwoofer for perfect performance from the comfort of your favorite seat.

A full explanation of all the advanced subwoofer DSP controls is available on pages 15-18 in this 

manual, as well as in the SVS subwoofer app tutorial. The following sections cover basic connec-

tions and control settings when integrating the PB16-Ultra into a surround sound or two channel 

system.
