This technology joins with exclusive 3000 Micro innovations to set a new standard for Sub Woofer performance value. More people than ever can now enjoy room-shaking bass below the threshold of human hearing with unerring accuracy and control.

Fully Active Dual Opposing 8-inch Drivers – Defy The Laws of Physics With Room-Shaking Output And Pinpoint Accuracy

A first-ever design for SVS, two fully active 8-inch woofers are mounted on opposite sides of the sealed cabinet and move in perfect unison to generate stunning low frequency output with crisp, musical transients. The usable surface area of two fully-active 8-inch woofers firing in opposite directions achieves performance on par with significantly larger single-driver Sub Woofers. Its tight, punchy output obliterates multi-driver passive radiator Sub Woofer designs known for their bloated and boomy sound.

By firing in opposite directions, the mechanical energy transferred to the cabinet is effectively canceled out. This creates a sonically inert environment and solves the longtime curse of micro Sub Woofers, which are known to “dance” or “walk” across the room.

The active dual drivers are connected in parallel to a single Power Amplifier. Each receives the same amount of current, ensuring pinpoint control and more precise, accurate bass. The use of aluminum throughout the woofer, from bobbin to cone, creates a lightweight, stiff and thermally-optimized driver without resonances or extraneous vibrations.

Each high-excursion active 8-inch driver employs a progressive inverted surround to ensure maximum linear displacement. This is imperative for moving massive amounts of air and generating sound pressure levels you can feel at the deepest frequencies from such a small enclosure.

• Precisely tuned overhung motor configuration for unerring woofer control at all drive levels
• Proprietary injection-molded NBR surround built for extreme-excursion and longevity at reference playback levels.
• Total Excursion (each driver): 24 mm Xmax, 37 mm Xmech
• High-current 4-layer copper voice coil winding minimizes distortion and power compression, while providing effective heat dissipation and tuned magnetics for accuracy at high excursion
• Formidable proprietary ferrite motor system generates high-flux-density magnetic fields to drive room-filling sound pressure levels with pinpoint transients
• Dual 8-inch baskets with FEA optimized powder-coated frames for maximum rigidity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical damping

Innovative Motor Assembly – Maximizes Current Delivery For Active Dual-Driver Array

An oversized, vented motor structure is optimized for efficient thermal and mechanical-energy management in a confined space. Massive electromagnetic force produced by the motor, in symphony with the high current driving power of the Sledge Amplifier, allows the 3000 Micro to maximize on the output potential of the dual drivers.

Rear Panel Intelligent Control Interface (ICI)

Rear-panel SVS Intelligent Control Interface (ICI) provides control options and connections for the Sub Woofer’s most critical functions.

• Level Control to fine tune the overall output level that best matches the system and room
• Low pass filter control to ensure smooth sonic transitions and seamless blending with the main speakers
• Phase control to align the subwoofer’s output timing with the main speakers or additional subwoofers
• USB port provides power for the SVS SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter (sold separately) which eliminates the need for a cable run to the Sub Woofer from the source component.
• RCA Audio Interconnect Input for use with most AV Receivers and Pre Amplifiers

Acoustically Inert And Rigidly Braced Sealed Cabinet Design

Handsomely styled to complement the finest Home Cinema and Hi-Fi systems, yet compact enough to stash out of sight, the acoustically optimized 3000 Micro sealed cabinet design blends with any room or set-up. Features extra-thick MDF side baffles and rigid internal bracing for a resonance-free environment that remains motionless even at peak playback levels, solving a long-time issue of “dancing” micro Sub Woofers. Serves as a blank canvas for uncompromised Sub Woofer performance.

• Acoustic absorption eliminates all coloration from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume
• Protective non-resonant perforated metal grilles shield drivers to prevent damage while ensuring longevity
• Reinforced internal bracing for resonance free performance at highest drive levels
• Custom iso-elastomer screw-in feet reduce noise artifacts and improve stability

Flat edge wound split-wind voice coil within the motor assembly provides effortless, on-demand power at high excursion, while reducing mass and improving overall driver efficiency. The result is room-shaking output with amazingly precise response when the music, movie or other content demands it most.

Dual ferrite magnet motor assembly weighing nearly 11.3 kg generates massive amounts of current to produce extreme driver excursion with precise control for the deepest, most accurate and authoritative bass possible from a 8-inch driver.

Lightweight and rigid aluminum vented cone with composite fiber dustcap generates massive output with pinpoint accurate frequency response.

Long-throw parabolic surround and proprietary injection molded gasket ensure longevity and allow extreme excursion for room-energizing bass.

Sledge STA-800D2 Amplifier – Massive Output With Precise Driver Control

A driver is only potential and requires and equally potent Amplifier. Extreme challenges existed for SVS engineers when designing an Amplifier capable of powering fully active dual 8-inch drivers at reference levels in a micro-sized cabinet. How to maximize SPLs while maintaining accuracy? How to optimize on the potential of room gain? How to maintain proper cooling while achieving massive SPLs?

SVS met these challenges with an 800 watt RMS, 2,500+ watt peak power Sledge STA-800D2 Power Amplifier that combines the high-current output of discrete MOSFETs with Class D efficiency and the processing power of an Analog Devices DSP. The 3000 Micro Sub Woofer’s Amplifier effortlessly produces sustained high-current output for the most difficult low frequency playback without clipping or bottoming out. Convincing, high-impact audio experiences without a trace of distortion.

• High Current Output from Fully Discrete MOSFETs with the efficiency of Class D amplification allows the Sledge STA-800D2 Amplifier to generate massive amounts of current enabling immense output with surgical precision.
• Optimized frequency response curves for the sealed cabinet 3000 Micro allow the Sub Woofer to take control of a room and pressurize it with accurate, heart-pounding, acoustically tuned bass.
• Sophisticated multi-band limiters enable the system to behave effortlessly move air and with complete control, even when played at extreme levels.

Sophisticated 50 MHz DSP Engine – Unrivaled Processing Power From A Home Audio Sub Woofer

A 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP, normally reserved for high-end separate audio components, delivers sophisticated control and custom response curves optimized for real-world output and acoustically tuned room gain.

DSP plays a huge role in making the 3000 Micro Sub Woofer sound far bigger than it’s size. SVS engineers painstakingly crafted an in-room frequency response curve that fully maximizes on the potential of a room’s boundaries to produce greater output and deeper bass extension without bloat or boominess. The result, a Sub Woofer that far exceeds expectations given it’s size.
