The verdict
Choose this over the sealed SB-1000 Pro if you have the space and want more low-end output for movies. It is much heavier and larger. As no tested figures are cited here, check an independent measurement before relying on the maker's output numbers.
The PB-1000 Pro is the ported counterpart to the SB-1000 Pro, using the same 12-inch driver and 325 watt RMS amplifier in a larger dual-port cabinet. SVS lists a 17Hz to 260Hz response and a maximum output of 123.5 dB at 30Hz, higher than the sealed model. It shares the Bluetooth app with parametric EQ and presets. It has RCA and speaker-level inputs and accepts an optional wireless adapter. No independent review was read for this entry.
