SVS SB-3000 Micro R|Evolution Subwoofer
The challenge of designing a truly compact subwoofer is balancing size with performance. Traditional micro designs sacrifice output, control, and musical accuracy in pursuit of a room-friendly enclosure, depriving users of a true subwoofer experience. The 3000 Micro R|Evolution is a revelation.
Drawing from the flagship SVS subwoofer platform, 3000 Micro R|Evolution represents a complete reimagining of compact subwoofer design by delivering infrasonic extension to 20Hz, stunning dynamic output, and musicality fit for the most demanding audiophiles. All from a handsomely compact 11-inch enclosure.
Owing to the advancements in driver, amplifier, and DSP technology, the 3000 Micro R|Evolution energizes a room with authority while preserving the nuance, texture, and tonal accuracy demanded by serious music listeners and home theater fans. When combined with advanced tuning and control features from the SVS Subwoofer Control app, it's an unrivaled subwoofer experience.
Micro
A subwoofer shouldn't just be heard, it should be felt, lived, and remembered. The 3000 Micro R|Evolution embodies that philosophy. Building on flagship SVS R|Evolution technologies that raised the bar for performance in every class, the smallest SVS subwoofer delivers an experience that surpasses much larger models, while maintaining a level of refinement fit for the most discerning listeners.
The culmination of 20+ years of SVS acoustic breakthroughs, 3000 Micro R|Evolution elevates music, home theater, and everything you listen to into emotionally charged, high-impact experiences. This compact subwoofer doesn't just play bass; it unleashes it with precision, musicality, and authority that captivates listeners and redefines expectations on every level.
3000 Micro R|Evolution combines the most sophisticated SVS subwoofer technology ever developed with trailblazing innovations to set a new standard for small subwoofer performance.
Dual Opposing Active 9-inch Drivers.
The beating heart of the 3000 Micro R|Evolution is a pair of active, side-firing 9-inch high-excursion drivers custom-built by the SVS design team to maximize output from a small enclosure. The drivers operate in perfect unison, acoustically and electrically in parallel to generate powerful, controlled low frequencies.
By firing in opposite directions, mechanical forces are canceled, creating a sonically inert cabinet and eliminating unwanted vibration, one of the biggest limitations of compact subwoofers. What you hear is pure sonic output without a trace of distortion
Each high-excursion active 9-inch driver employs a progressive inverted surround to ensure maximum linear displacement. This is imperative for moving massive amounts of air and generating sound pressure levels you can feel at the deepest frequencies from such a small enclosure.
- Advanced materials, precision motor design, and optimized suspension components ensure linearity and accuracy even at maximum excursion.
- Precisely tuned overhung motor configuration for unerring woofer control at all drive levels
- High-current 4-layer copper voice coil winding minimizes distortion and power compression, while providing effective heat dissipation and tuned magnetics for accuracy at high excursion.
- Powerful oversized Y30 ferrite motor system generates high-flux-density magnetic fields to drive room-filling sound pressure levels with pinpoint transient speed.
- Custom 9” baskets with FEA optimized powder-coated steel frames for maximum rigidity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical damping
R|Evolution Amplifier Platform
Conservatively rated at 1,200 watts continuous and 4,000+ watts peak power, the SVS R|Evolution amplifier maximises the full potential of the dual 9-inch active drivers with effortless power and absolute control.
The pioneering design combines the efficiency of a Class D amplifier with the ability to move massive current through fully discrete MOSFETs, delivering outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels.
- High Current MOSFET Output with Class-D Efficiency allows the STA-1200D2 amplifier to move massive amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs, enabling the dual active 9-inch drivers to fully maximise their potential with reference output while maintaining control and accuracy.
- Performance-Enhancing SVS Switch Mode Power Supply maximises system performance under all operating conditions by ensuring a consistent 160V rail voltage for the amplifier. Digital monitoring of the AC input mains voltage tunes the power supply for optimal performance in any environment.
- Premium-grade 56-bit digital audio processing and premium DACs (Digital-to-Analogue Converters) provide greater headroom, lower noise, and flawless fidelity.
- Balanced XLR input for pristine audiophile performance and long-distance cable runs. Compatible with consumer and professional audio systems.
The Brains Behind the Brawn
Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most powerful and sophisticated DSP ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer, with five times the processing power of previous generations.
DSP plays a role in all aspects of performance, user control, tuning, and in making the 3000 Micro R|Evolution subwoofer sound bigger than it is. SVS engineers painstakingly crafted an in-room frequency response curve that fully maximizes the potential of a room's boundaries to produce greater output and deeper bass extension without distortion or boominess.
- Accurately shapes in-room frequency response with absolute precision for faithful signal reproduction and acoustically tuned room gain.
- Monitors every function of the amplifier to stabilize AC voltage delivery to the power supply to maintain consistent peak output
- Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensure maximum output and efficiency
- Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) with 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity
Smartphone Control App
