SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution Subwoofer

SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution Subwoofer The SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution is a reference-grade sealed subwoofer built for listeners who want deep, accurate, room-pressurizing bass without giving up speed, detail, or living-room-friendly placement. A high-excursion 13-inch front-firing driver and the STA-1200D2 Class-D amplifier (1,200W RMS / 4,000+W peak) deliver effortless slam for movies while staying tight and musical for two-channel listening. Under the hood, a 295MHz Analog Devices DSP with advanced power management and ultra-low distortion keeps output clean and controlled at any volume, even on demanding low-frequency scenes. Fine-tune everything from your seat using the SVS Subwoofer Control App (Bluetooth), with deep DSP tools for blending perfectly with any system, from home theater to audiophile stereo setups. The SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution is part of ListenUp's SVS Sealed Subwoofers Collection. What It's Good At: Digs deep with authority: Extension down to 17Hz (and typically 2–3Hz deeper in many small-to-mid rooms with room gain). Fast, musical sealed-bass character: Tighter transients and cleaner integration than comparable ported designs. Massive power with real control: 1,200W continuous / 4,000+W peak plus advanced DSP power management for clean headroom. Precise system integration: App control for phase, polarity, low pass, and six parametric EQs for smooth in-room response. Audiophile + home theater ready: RCA and balanced XLR connectivity supports long runs and both consumer/pro gear. Built to disappear in the room: Compact sealed cabinet with premium finishes and a clean, rigid, braced enclosure design.

Yes. The sealed design delivers fast, controlled bass for music while still producing deep, high-output impact for movies down to 17Hz. How low does it play in a real room? It’s rated to 17Hz (±3 dB), and many small-to-mid rooms can see 2–3Hz deeper perceived extension thanks to room gain. Can I control and tune it without getting up? Yes. The SVS app (Bluetooth) gives access to advanced controls including volume, phase, polarity, low pass, room gain compensation, and six parametric EQ bands. Does it support balanced connections? Yes. It includes balanced XLR connections for long cable runs and pro/audiophile system compatibility, plus standard RCA inputs. Can I run two (or more) subwoofers easily? Yes. Line-level connections and app-based tuning make multi-sub integration and matching settings much more convenient. What are the available finishes? You can choose Black Ash or Piano Gloss Black to match different rooms and system aesthetics. What are the physical dimensions and weight? With grille it measures 15.6" H × 15.2" W × 16.8" D and weighs 54.8 lb (unboxed). Does it have a trigger input for automated power on/off? Yes. It includes a 3.5mm trigger input (3–12V AC/DC), plus Auto/On power management options. SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution Downloads: SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution User Manual SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution Quick Start Guide
