Wednesday, 06 October, 2004: Shuffling the model name deck

While SVS has added one new and innovative subwoofer model after another over the last few years, little has changed in our model naming convention. The Powered Box (PB) line is due for a face lift in the next few days to better denote the types of subs, and types and sizes of woofers within. Use the "cheat sheet" here to help keep thing straight as we transition things.

No real changes have been made to these models you know and love so much, just the names will be amended. We'll announce very shortly when the web techs will descend on the site for the midnight purge of the old names. All this will coincide with the release of the 2004 Sound and Vision Buyer's Guide... where all the fall SVS lineup will be tabulated once again for you using these updated names.

Old New!

PB1-ISD becomes... PB12-ISD
PB1-Plus becomes... PB12-Plus
PB2-ISD becomes... PB12-ISD/2
PB2-Plus becomes... PB12-Plus/2
PB2-Ultra becomes... PB12-Ultra/2
B4-Plus becomes... B12-Plus/4

Introduction of the killer new 10" woofer in the PB10-ISD necessitated this tweak to our naming. Above, you can see that all 12" woofer subwoofers are indicated with the "12" and followed by the woofer type, and the number of woofers. Those products with "only" one of our killer woofers are left alone. This new model system will grown as SVS grows.

So, if you think this shift in naming opens the door to still more variations... and even totally new SVS models that build on the new names... well... you would be right. More news on this after our Fall Board of Directors meeting.

So go ahead and print this out and clip it to you office cubicle, pin it to the the University library bulletin board, or tattoo it to your forearm. You don't want to lose track of the latest SVS models!

Of course the new PB10-ISD will stay the same for now, but as we said, don't be too surprised if new models and types of SVS's, even new woofers, are all revealed in the weeks and months ahead. If it's one thing you know about SVS it's that we don't stop innovating long. We promise not to change model name more than every 3-4 years however!
