SVS PB-3000 R|Evolution 18" Piano Gloss Black Subwoofer

Product Overview

Reference Subwoofer Performance Hits New Lows.

A subwoofer shouldn't just be heard, it should be felt, lived, and remembered. The 3000 R|Evolution Series embodies that philosophy. Building on flagship SVS 17-Ultra R|Evolution Series technologies that raised the bar for performance, these models are the sweet spot of SVS subwoofers, delivering unrivaled output, extension,and transient response, with untraceable distortion.

3000 R|Evolution is the culmination of 20+ years of SVS acoustic breakthroughs - engineering that elevates music, home theater, and gaming into emotionally charged, high-impact experiences. These subwoofers don’t just play bass; they unleash it with precision, musicality, and authority that captivates listeners and reshapes expectations.

PB-3000 R|Evolution combines the most sophisticated SVS subwoofer technology ever developed with trailblazing innovations to set a new standard for ported subwoofer performance in its class and beyond.

Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove - Breakthrough Driver Architecture.

The beating heart of PB-3000 R|Evolution is an all-new high-excursion 13" driver with groundbreaking voice coil design engineered for immense, effortless output with surgical accuracy.

Flat-Edge Split-Wind Voice Coil maximizes magnetic force at high excursion while maintaining ultra-low mass for responsiveness and efficiency. The result is room-shaking output with unerring accuracy and a highly visceral experience.

Two-Piece Toroidal Ferrite Magnet Overhung Motor maintains precise linearity to drive the highest levels of excursion, SPL, and start/stop power for the deepest, most authoritative bass possible from a 13" driver.

Rigid 1100 Pure Aluminum Cone is lightweight and neutral for convincing, distortion-free output, even at extreme levels.

Long-Throw Extreme Excursion SBR Surround maintains ideal pistonic motion while enabling massive driver movement for clean, room-pressurizing low end.

Power with Control. STA-1200D2 MOSFET Amplifier.

Conservatively rated at 1,200 watts Continuous and 4,000+ watts peak power, the STA-1200D2 amplifier maximizes the 13" driver's full potential 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 the fully discrete MOSFETs for outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels.

High Current MOSFET Output with Class-D Efficiency allows the STA-1200D2 amplifier to move massive amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs, enabling the 13" driver to fully maximize on its potential with output beyond reference levels with control and accuracy.

Performance Enhancing Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) maximizes system performance and reliability under all operating conditions by monitoring amplifier and AC main output voltage/current as well as multiple temperature sensors.

Premium Grade 56bit Digital Audio Processing and premium DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) with more than 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and flawless fidelity.

Balanced XLR 18kohm Input for pristine audiophile performance and long-distance cable runs. Compatible with consumer and pro audio systems.

The Brains Behind the Brawn. 295 MHz Analog Devices DSP.

Orchestrating the cutting-edge amplifier, motor, and driver ecosystem is the most sophisticated DSP ever deployed in a home audio subwoofer.

Accurately shapes in-room frequency response with absolute precision for faithful signal reproduction

Monitors every function of the amplifier to stabilize AC voltage delivery to the power supply to maintain consistent peak output

Multi-point thermal, voltage, and current monitoring systems ensure maximum output and efficiency

Advanced digital audio processing and DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) with 120 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio provide greater headroom, lower noise, and pristine fidelity

SVS Subwoofer Smartphone Control App

Convenient subwoofer tuning and control from the comfort of your favorite seat. Works via Bluetooth with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms.

Controls for volume, low pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric equalizers, room gain compensation, tuning modes, power management settings, and more.

Three memory presets to save system settings matched to your listening preferences - music, movies, night mode, and more.

Variable Port Tuning modes with included port plugs enable customized frequency response curves for Standard and Sealed to allow tuning for maximum output or deep bass extension and transient speed.

Acoustically Inert, Rigidly Braced Ported Cabinet Design

Dual-ported cabinet delivers deep subterranean bass extension with room-energizing output that fills even the largest home theaters.

Rigid MDF front baffle and extensive internal bracing support the massive drive unit and ensure an acoustically inert environment.

Two high-flow 3.5-inch rounded ports enable massive airflow for greater dynamic headroom without a trace of port noise.

Highly reinforced internal design and acoustic insulation eliminate all coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume.

Protective non-resonant extra-thick ABS grille frame with fabric mesh cover shields the driver to prevent damage while ensuring longevity.

Custom elastomer feet reduce noise artifacts within a room.

Rear Panel OLED and Control Interface provide fast and direct control of the most important features. Includes a convenient "Display Flip" function.
