Press Release
SVS, a leading manufacturer of high-performance home audio products, proudly announces 3000 Micro R|Evolution subwoofer, the new reference standard for compact subwoofer performance. A complete reimagining of micro subwoofer design, it delivers stunning output, unrivaled DSP power, extension to 20Hz, and unerring musical accuracy from a compact 11-inch enclosure.
The challenge of designing a small subwoofer is balancing size with performance. Traditional micro cabinet 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.
Building on the company’s flagship subwoofer technology, SVS 3000 Micro R|Evolution marries exclusive driver design, the renowned SVS R|Evolution amplifier platform, and unrivaled DSP power and sophistication to deliver performance that outclasses larger, more expensive models. All from a subwoofer that fits seamlessly into any room or system.
Massive Output with Audiophile Refinement. Force-Balanced, 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 effortless, 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. 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.
Power with Precision. 1,200 Watts Continuous, 4,000+ Watts Peak Power R|Evolution Amplifier
Conservatively rated at 1,200 Watts Continuous and 4,000+ Watts Peak power, the SVS R|Evolution amplifier maximizes 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.
A performance-enhancing SVS Switch Mode Power Supply maximizes 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. 56-bit Digital Audio Processing and premium DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) provide greater headroom, the lowest possible distortion, and flawless fidelity.
The Brains Behind the Brawn. 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP
Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most powerful and sophisticated DSP (digital signal processor) ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer, with six times the processing power of previous SVS generations.
DSP plays a major 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. SVS refers to this as acoustically tuned room gain.
Additionally, the 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP monitors every function of the amplifier, stabilizing AC voltage delivery to the power supply and maintaining consistent peak output. Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensure maximum output and efficiency, while advanced DACs with 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity.
Advanced Control and Calibration. SVS Subwoofer Control App
Calibration and control are managed via the SVS Subwoofer Control Smartphone App, offering one of the most comprehensive tuning interfaces available. Users can adjust volume, low-pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain compensation, and up to six parametric EQ bands, with three onboard memory presets for fast system adjustments.
Balanced XLR inputs, in addition to unbalanced RCA connections, allow seamless integration into both consumer and pro audio systems. The 3000 Micro R|Evolution subwoofer is equally at home in audiophile stereo setups, home theater systems, and sound engineering studios used for mixing and mastering audio.
Acoustically Optimized Sealed Cabinet Design
Subwoofers capable of such extreme performance require equally formidable cabinet designs. The 3000 Micro R|Evolution features extra-thick MDF side baffles and rigid internal bracing to support the active dual-driver assembly and to ensure an acoustically inert environment. The reinforced internal design eliminates any chance of coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at high volume. SVS opted against using a passive-radiator driver design deployed in many micro subwoofers because of its bloated, one-note bass output.
“When the original SVS 3000 Micro subwoofer launched, we said it was like a magic trick for doing what no compact subwoofer had ever done before,” said Gary Yacoubian, SVS President. “Our design team completely reimagined the original concept with larger drivers, double the amplifier output, lower distortion, the most powerful DSP ever deployed in a home subwoofer, and more tuning features and connectivity options. All from a cabinet that’s roughly the same size.”
Yacoubian continued, “The result is not just a vast improvement over the previous design, but a new reference standard for all micro subwoofers.”
