SVS SB-3000 R | Evolution - Frêne noir - Black lacquered

Description

High-Impact Sealed Subwoofer Performance
The SB-3000 R|Evolution is engineered as a reference-grade sealed subwoofer, delivering staggering cinematic output with extension down to 17Hz from a relatively compact enclosure that integrates seamlessly into modern listening spaces. Designed for discerning listeners, it combines deep, chest-thumping low frequencies with exceptional transient response and tonal accuracy, ensuring bass that is not only powerful but precisely controlled and highly musical across music, home theater, and gaming applications.

Next-Generation Driver Architecture
At the core of the SB-3000 R|Evolution is an all-new 13-inch high-excursion driver featuring a Flat-Edge Split-Wind voice coil architecture optimized to maximize magnetic force at high excursion while maintaining ultra-low moving mass for speed and efficiency. A two-piece toroidal ferrite overhung motor system maintains linearity at extreme SPLs, enabling the driver to reach reference-level output with pinpoint start/stop control. The rigid 1100 pure aluminum cone, long-throw extreme-excursion SBR surround, and high-density, FEA-optimized cast aluminum basket work together to deliver distortion-free bass, even at the highest drive levels.

High-Power STA-1200D2 MOSFET Amplification
Powering the driver is the STA-1200D2 Class D amplifier, conservatively rated at 1,200 watts continuous and over 4,000 watts peak for effortless dynamic headroom. The design combines the efficiency of Class D topology with fully discrete high-current MOSFET output stages to move massive current while maintaining control and low distortion. An advanced switch mode power supply with dual discrete PMUs continuously monitors voltage, current, and temperature to maximize performance and reliability, while 56-bit digital audio processing and premium DACs with more than 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio ensure clean, high-resolution signal reproduction with extremely low noise and THD+N under 0.05% at rated power.

Precision 295 MHz DSP Control
A high-resolution 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP serves as the control center for the SB-3000 R|Evolution, precisely shaping in-room frequency response and protecting the system under all operating conditions. The DSP manages real-time power, driver excursion, and current thousands of times per second, delivering tightly regulated voltage and optimized current to the voice coil for maximum headroom and linearity. Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring safeguards performance, while advanced filtering and room gain optimization deliver 17–230Hz (±3 dB) response with 2–3Hz deeper extension in small to mid-size rooms and significantly reduced low-frequency distortion compared to previous generations.

Smart App Control and User Interface
The SB-3000 R|Evolution integrates a comprehensive smartphone control app compatible with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms, enabling convenient adjustment of volume, low pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric EQs, room gain compensation, tuning modes, and power management. Three customizable memory presets allow users to store profiles for music, movies, and night listening. A rear-panel OLED display and control interface provide direct access to critical functions, including a display flip option for flexible placement, while future SVS Auto Room EQ support will offer automated in-room optimization using a mobile device or accessory microphone.

Acoustically Inert Sealed Cabinet and Connectivity
The sealed cabinet employs a rigid MDF construction with extensive internal bracing and acoustic insulation to eliminate resonances and coloration, delivering tight, controlled bass in a more compact footprint than comparable ported designs. Protective non-resonant extra-thick ABS grille frame with fabric mesh, screw-in Iso-elastomer feet, and robust hardware ensure durability and low mechanical noise. Connectivity includes unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs with high input impedance for compatibility with consumer and professional audio systems, USB power for wireless adapters, 3.5mm trigger and IR inputs for integration, and energy-efficient standby operation. 
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SB-3000 and PB-3000?

The SB-3000 uses a sealed cabinet, prioritizing tight and accurate bass response, while the PB-3000 uses a ported enclosure designed to deliver deeper extension and higher maximum output.

Is the SB-3000 suitable for music listening?

Yes. The sealed design provides exceptional speed and articulation, making it particularly well suited for high-fidelity stereo systems.

Can the SB-3000 be controlled from a smartphone?

Yes. The SVS Subwoofer Control App allows users to adjust volume, crossover settings, EQ, phase, and presets directly from a mobile device.

What size room is the SB-3000 best suited for?

The SB-3000 performs well in small to medium-large listening rooms, offering deep bass extension and strong output while remaining compact.
