SVS SB-3000 R|Evolution Sealed 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.
