The SVS PB-3000 R|Evolution subwoofer features a ported cabinet design for room-pressurizing output and exceptional control, incorporating trickle-down technology from SVS's flagship Ultra R|Evolution series. It includes a newly-developed 13-inch high-excursion driver with a flat-edge split-wound voice coil on a two-inch aluminum former, an 18.5-pound motor, and a 24.1-pound woofer assembly. Powered by a discrete STA-1200D2 amplifier with four 60A MOSFET output stages and a switch-mode power supply providing a 160V rail, it ensures reliability and low distortion (<0.05% THD+N at rated power). A 295MHz Analog Devices DSP with premium DACs (double-precision 56-bit filtering, 120dB SNR) enables precise tuning. Control is via the SVS Subwoofer Control app, offering volume, low-pass filter, phase, polarity, room gain compensation, port tuning modes, and up to six parametric EQ bands with three presets. Connectivity includes balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs. Dual 3.5-inch front-firing high-airflow ports support standard (all ports open) and sealed modes. Finished in Premium Black Ash, it weighs 85.1 pounds and transforms music, movies, and gaming with deep, accurate, ultra-low distortion bass.
