I have been an audio designer for nearly 40 years and have as much, likely more experience than any member of Audiogon or any other audio group

While good people everywhere can debate which sub woofer worked best for their particular room or system only ONE sub can be the BEST
In evaluating the top 5 brands Velodyne, JL Audio, REL, SVS, Martin Logan with a variety of electronics in less than perfect rooms to perfectly built & tuned rooms we have come to the conclusion that if your looking for a sub woofer that is tight, goes low and has dynamics not just volume one that is good at low volume and one that can easily play loudly without cracking and audible strain this is the one. Albeit rather large they at least took the time & money to add a beautiful finish especially the SA Rosewood finish which is so stunning it delayed my hooking it up for 20 minuets while I bragged to my wife that sub's don't have to be ugly - Encased in modern, swept-back cabinet design with a choice of two high-gloss finishes, black and South American Rosewood  -  LOL something Velodyne, JL Audio, REL, SVS, Martin Logan all need to know.

At the top of the group In terms of performance I have to say the
SVS for the dollar invested is a nice sub, the Martin Logan and DD15+ Velodyne offer far deeper bass and the JL Audio f212v2 was until now considered by most to be the best south of a $7500 retail price point that is until this new RBH SV-1212PR came out.

The SV-1212P/R is a beast of a subwoofer, at nearly 18 inches wide by 39 inches tall and 22 inches deep. It isn't light either, tipping the scales at a whopping 130 pounds. The cabinet, although large, is rather elegant in its design, featuring rounded edges that, when viewed from overhead, give the sub a somewhat oval shape.  The SV-1212P/R's height includes pre-installed  feet; further stability can be achieved by screwing the included spikes into the bottom of said feet. If you have hardwood or tile floors, you may wish to simply go with the attached feet au naturel. There is also the option of rubber tips that can be screwed into the bottom of the attached feet, which may also work for those with hardwood or tile floors. The front face of the SV-1212P/R features two large twelve-inch aluminum woofers, which are silver in color, an RBH trademark. The standard grille that covers the two woofers does a good job of shrouding their color, but it does not completely eliminate their visibility.

Around back, you'll find a large, elongated plate amp that is mostly heat sink with but a few input and control options. Working top to bottom, the first option you'll find on the SV-1212P/R's plate amp is its volume or level control. Below that is its input, which is balanced only, and its output, also balanced. To the left of the XLR input/output options, there are two small buttons: the top mutes the amp, while the bottom selects one of the two pre-loaded DSP programs. With the button pressed in, a low-pass filter at 80Hz will be enabled. When the button is left out, the low-pass filter will be defeated. There is a PS/2 port below the XLR input/outputs that allows the SV-1212P/R to be connected to a computer, presumably for integration purposes.

In terms of its specifications, the SV-1212P/R has a reported frequency response of 17 Hz to 180 Hz, thanks in part to its 2,400-watt internal amplifier driving the two twelve-inch aluminum cone woofers. Since crossover and such are handled outboard via your AV preamp or receiver, the SX-1212P/R is dependent upon the other hardware's performance rather than its own in those regards

I'm not certain I've heard a more nimble and articulate subwoofer. It's sonic presence, when necessary, is miniscule and Of course it can shake your house off its very foundation, but it's still shocking to me that something as large as the SV-1212P/R can sound so effortless and small at the same time.

The SV-1212P/R is just that much better and more sublime in its sound thqan ANY other sub under $10,000 from any manufacture

The SV-1212P/R is aimed more at subwoofers like JL Audio's Fathom f212 or even Gotham subwoofer. Both JL offerings cost far more than the RBH, yet both boast similar driver complements and power. Neither can hit the reported frequency response of the SX-1212P/R. With regards to these two JL subwoofers, the SX-1212P/R represents the better value, if not the better performance overall.

This IS the WORLDS BEST Sub woofer - period!


Questions for the seller
Do I understand correctly that in a completely enclosed HT, designed-in when house was built (no retrofit of signal cables unless wireless), the two very-high quality single-ended LF cables (30+ ft run each through walls & ceiling) installed in anticipation of future (back in 2008) X.2 channel LF architecture (independent L/R sub low-level signals) cannot be utilized with this sub??? Seems like the end-user should have been given the option of inputs (RCA or balanced) for legacy installations.. I understand the advantage of balanced cables for long-runs typical of HTs, but balanced was not in widespread use in 2008. Bottom line: No accommodation for legacy SE low-level cables??? And, even if two independent L/R ch balanced cables were available, these subs are not independent within their enclosure and just one of the low-level balanced cables could be utilized carrying a L/R "blended" LF signal. (And yes, I recognize there is very little directional queuing at low frequencies, but every little bit of separation helps the overall experience.) Do you know of any wireless low-level signal Bluetooth T/R's that would enable such a retrofit install? The sub cabinet would also have to be laid on its side under a pool table between the screen and first row of theater seats. Await either your confirmation of inability to utilize or, hopefully, potential solution.
Do not know of any audiophile high-end wireless sub woofers there are many entry level. As far as compatibility inputs, connections anything regarding specs/tech on SV-1212P/R I would suggest you contact RBH they have wonderful custom service
