Reference Bass From a Subwoofer You Can Hide
The SVS 3000 Micro R|Evolution Subwoofer is a single sealed subwoofer that fits where full-size boxes cannot, yet plays deeper and with more control than its footprint suggests. It builds on SVS R|Evolution technology to move serious air from a sealed box small enough to sit beside the sofa or inside a cabinet. This is the smallest subwoofer SVS makes, tuned for both music and home theatre.
Why You'll Love It
- Big bass from a small box. Dual opposing 9-inch drivers and a 1,200 watt amplifier deliver deep, room-filling low end from an enclosure barely larger than a cube.
- Set it up from your seat. The SVS Subwoofer Control app connects over Bluetooth so you can adjust volume, phase, the low pass filter and six parametric equalisers from your listening position.
- Built to stay quiet and hidden. The sealed cabinet is rigidly braced and sonically inert, so it disappears into the room and adds bass without buzz or rattle.
Under the Hood
- Force-balanced dual 9-inch drivers. The two high-excursion drivers fire in opposite directions to cancel mechanical forces, which keeps the cabinet still and the bass clean, even at full output.
- Reference R|Evolution amplifier. The STA-1200D2 amplifier is rated at 1,200 watts continuous and over 4,000 watts peak, using discrete MOSFETs with Class D efficiency for control at every level.
- 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP. The processor shapes the in-room response with five times the power of previous SVS generations, and feeds premium DACs with a 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio.
CHT Insider Verdict
If you want genuine low-end weight without a large box dominating the room, the 3000 Micro R|Evolution is one of the most capable compact subwoofers available. It suits apartments, smaller lounges and any system where placement matters as much as output. Music stays tight and fast, while movies gain real impact.
Pro Tip: Run a balanced XLR cable from your AV receiver or processor to the subwoofer's XLR input; it keeps noise out over longer cable runs and takes full advantage of the internal DACs.
