Quick Start Guide
If your set-up doesn’t include an
Auto-EQ feature, adjust the
subwoofer volume control to
level-match to your loudspeakers.
For additional guidance on recom-
mended crossover settings, visit our
Merlin Subwoofer Matching tool at
www.svsound.com/merlin, or
contact our Sound Experts.
Set the PB16-Ultra volume to -10, then run auto-set-up in the AV receiver/proces-
sor. It is important to re-run your receiver’s calibration set-up if you are upgrad-
ing from another subwoofer and each time you move the subwoofer.
The font panel features an intuitive
user interface with simplified button
controls that can be used to adjust the
majority of the subwoofer’s advanced
control settings.
The SVS App is the easiest and most convenient way to
access all of the advanced control features available on
your PB16-Ultra, from the comfort of your favorite seat.
The included IR remote is another
convenient way to adjust your
subwoofer’s advanced control
settings.
