About the 16-46CS
The SVS 16-46CS is a passive subwoofer tower from SV Subwoofers, Inc. that uses a unique cylindrical enclosure design to eliminate corner resonances while maintaining structural integrity without extensive internal bracing. The 46-inch tall tower features a 12-inch long-throw driver positioned to fire downward, providing flat response down to 16 Hz with minimal rolloff below the tuning frequency. The cylindrical design allows uniform internal force distribution, resulting in a resonance-free enclosure. This model represents the entry point in SV Subwoofers' lineup and is suitable for both music and home theater applications, delivering extended low-frequency performance compared to conventional subwoofers.
