SVS - 3000 Micro R|Evolution - Compact Reference Subwoofer

The smallest SVS subwoofer ever built — and one of the most capable. Force-balanced dual opposing 9-inch active drivers, 1,200W RMS / 4,000W+ peak R|Evolution amplifier, 295MHz DSP, balanced XLR input, and SVS smartphone app control. Reference subwoofer performance in a compact sealed enclosure.

Reference Performance Just Went Micro.

A subwoofer shouldn't just be heard — it should be felt, lived, and remembered. The SVS 3000 Micro R|Evolution embodies that philosophy completely. Built upon the flagship SVS R|Evolution technologies that redefined performance expectations across every class, this is the smallest subwoofer SVS has ever produced — and it delivers an experience that surpasses many subwoofers many times its size.

The culmination of over 20 years of SVS acoustic breakthroughs, the 3000 Micro R|Evolution doesn't just play bass. It unleashes it with precision, musicality, and authority that captivates listeners and redefines expectations at every volume level. Whether for music, home theatre, or anything in between, this is compact subwoofer performance reimagined from the ground up.

Force-Balanced Dual Opposing 9-Inch Active Drivers

At the heart of the 3000 Micro R|Evolution is a pair of custom-designed, side-firing 9-inch high-excursion drivers — the beating heart of everything this subwoofer achieves. The two drivers operate in perfect acoustic and electrical unison, firing in opposite directions so that their mechanical forces cancel each other out completely. The result is a sonically inert cabinet free from the unwanted vibration that plagues virtually every other compact subwoofer design.

Each driver has been purpose-built by SVS's own engineering team to maximise output from a small enclosure, employing a progressive inverted surround for maximum linear displacement — the critical factor in moving the volumes of air needed to generate room-filling sound pressure levels at the deepest frequencies:

• 27.3mm Xmax / 32.6mm Xmech precision-aligned excursion for controlled, extended low-frequency output
• High-current 4-layer copper voice coil minimises distortion and power compression, while providing effective heat dissipation
• Precisely tuned overhung motor configuration for unerring woofer control at all drive levels
• Powerful oversized Y30 ferrite motor system generates high-flux-density magnetic fields for room-filling sound pressure with pinpoint transient speed
• Custom 9" FEA-optimised powder-coated steel baskets for maximum rigidity, thermal conductivity and mechanical damping

SVS R|Evolution Amplifier — 1,200W RMS / 4,000W+ Peak

The SVS STA-1200D2 R|Evolution amplifier is conservatively rated at 1,200 watts continuous and over 4,000 watts peak — delivering effortless power and absolute control over the dual 9-inch drivers under all conditions.

Its pioneering design combines the efficiency of a Class D architecture with the ability to move massive current through fully discrete MOSFETs, ensuring outstanding real-world performance at every drive level:

• High Current MOSFET Output with Class-D Efficiency — moves massive amounts of current through discrete MOSFETs for reference output with full control and accuracy
• Performance Enhancing Switch Mode Power Supply — maintains a consistent 160V rail voltage under all operating conditions; digitally monitors AC input mains voltage for optimal performance in any environment
• Premium Grade 56-bit Digital Audio Processing with premium DACs — greater headroom, lower noise, and flawless fidelity
• Balanced XLR Input — pristine audiophile performance for long cable runs; compatible with both consumer and professional audio systems

295MHz Analog Devices DSP — Five Times the Processing Power

Orchestrating the amplifier, motor and driver ecosystem is the most powerful DSP ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer — with five times the processing power of previous SVS generations. The 295MHz Analog Devices DSP plays a role in every aspect of performance, user control and tuning, and is central to making the 3000 Micro R|Evolution sound considerably larger than its physical dimensions suggest.

SVS engineers painstakingly crafted an in-room frequency response curve that fully leverages a room's boundaries to produce greater output and deeper bass extension without distortion or boominess:

• Accurately shapes in-room frequency response for faithful signal reproduction and acoustically tuned room gain
• Monitors every amplifier function to stabilise AC voltage delivery and maintain consistent peak output
• Multi-point thermal, voltage and current monitoring for maximum output and efficiency
• 120dB signal-to-noise ratio from advanced digital audio processing and premium DACs

SVS Subwoofer Control App

Complete control from your listening position via Bluetooth — compatible with Apple iOS, Google Android and Amazon Fire devices. The SVS app provides access to volume, low-pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric equalisers, room gain compensation, tuning modes, power management settings and more. Three memory presets allow you to save and recall settings optimised for music, movies, night mode and any other listening scenario.

SVS Auto Room EQ — coming soon.

Sealed Cabinet — Sonically Inert, Beautifully Finished

The 3000 Micro R|Evolution's sealed cabinet is rigidly braced and acoustically optimised to render big sound from a small enclosure without compromise:

• Rigid MDF front baffle and internal support for an acoustically inert environment at all playback levels
• Highly reinforced internal design and acoustic insulation eliminate all colouration or resonance from the cabinet
• Non-resonant perforated metal driver grilles protect drivers while ensuring longevity
• Custom elastomer feet reduce noise artefacts within the room
• Rear panel OLED and control interface for direct access to key settings, including a convenient Display Flip function

Handsomely styled to complement the finest home theatre and hi-fi systems, yet compact enough to be placed discreetly out of sight.
