SVS has announced the 3000 Micro R|Evolution, a sealed compact subwoofer that replaces the original 3000 Micro and, according to the Ohio company, represents a wholesale reimagining of what a small sub can do.
The headline numbers are notable. Where the outgoing model used a pair of opposing 8″ drivers, the R|Evolution steps up to dual 9″ high-excursion units, each employing a progressive inverted surround for maximum linear displacement. The opposing driver arrangement cancels mechanical forces between the two cones, eliminating cabinet vibration (well, that’s the idea). Amplifier output doubles too: 1200 watts continuous (and 4000-plus watts peak) from a Class D stage built around discrete MOSFET transistors and a switch-mode power supply that reportedly maintains a consistent 160V rail regardless of mains conditions.
The more intriguing development is what’s running the show. SVS has fitted the 3000 Micro R|Evolution with a 295MHz Analog Devices DSP. It is tasked with managing the amplifier, driver excursion, thermal protection, and what SVS calls ‘acoustically tuned room gain’: an in-room frequency response curve shaped to exploit boundary reinforcement without tipping into boom.
