Features & Specs

Sealed design with deep extension and musical control

A rigid, braced sealed enclosure emphasizes transient accuracy and natural integration with main speakers, while still reaching 17Hz for cinematic low-frequency impact.

High-excursion 13-inch driver engineered for linearity

The long-throw driver uses precision motor/suspension components and high-mass magnet structure to deliver strong SPL with clean articulation at demanding excursions.

Real power on tap: 1,200W continuous with 4,000+W peak headroom

The STA-1200D2 amplifier and high-current MOSFET output stage provide effortless dynamics and maintain control during intense bass passages.

295MHz DSP “brains” for cleaner bass at higher volume

Advanced real-time monitoring (thermal, voltage, current, excursion) and double-precision 56-bit filtering help keep distortion low and response consistent across content and listening levels.

App-based tuning that makes integration simple

From crossover blending to room problem-solving, the SVS app provides granular control—phase, polarity, low pass, room gain compensation, and six PEQs—plus presets for fast switching.

Connectivity and control system ready

Use RCA or balanced XLR for your system, add automated power control via 3–12V trigger, integrate with control systems using IR input, and power wireless accessories via USB.

Expert Insight

I built my first Dolby Pro Logic surround sound system back in 1996. Two homes later, I’m now on my fifth—and favorite—subwoofer: the SVS SB-2000 Pro. Over the years, I’ve owned subwoofers that came close to SVS performance but weren’t reliable (one brand failed on me twice…ugh). I’ve also had subs that were dependable, but simply didn’t deliver the output, control, and musicality that SVS does. SVS has been the best balance of performance and reliability I’ve experienced. My current room is relatively small and sits directly on a solid foundation, so the SB-2000 Pro is a perfect fit. But if I were working with a larger or more challenging space, I’d absolutely be looking at the new SVS 3000 R|Evolution Series. The upgrades span everything that matters—driver, amplifier, DSP, cabinet design, and even the user interface, including a rear-panel display that can be adjusted for your viewing angle. SVS engineers truly seem to think of everything.

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.
