SVS PB-3000 R|Evolution Subwoofer (Black Ash)
A 13-inch ported subwoofer engineered for immersive home cinema and hi-fi systems. The PB-3000 R|Evolution combines a high-excursion driver, a 1,200-watt RMS MOSFET amplifier, a 295MHz DSP and variable port tuning to reach down to 16Hz, with SVS app control and Auto EQ room calibration for room-pressurising output that stays accurate and controlled.
The 3000 R|Evolution Series is SVS's sweet spot for output, extension and transient response, and draws on technology developed for the flagship 17-Ultra R|Evolution subwoofers. Its dual-ported cabinet can be run fully open for maximum depth and output, or sealed with the included port plugs for tighter, more compact-sounding bass. SVS quotes 20% to 60% lower acoustic THD+N in the critical low-frequency band than the previous generation.
Key Features
Breakthrough Driver Architecture
- All-new high-excursion 13-inch driver
- Flat-edge split-wind voice coil for high force at long excursion with low moving mass
- Two-piece toroidal ferrite overhung motor for linear, high-excursion drive
- Rigid 1100 pure aluminium cone and long-throw extreme-excursion SBR surround
STA-1200D2 MOSFET Amplifier
- Rated at 1,200 watts continuous and 4,000+ watts peak
- Class D efficiency with discrete MOSFET output stages
- Switch mode power supply monitoring voltage, current and temperature
- 56-bit processing and DACs above 120dB signal-to-noise; balanced XLR input
295MHz Analog Devices DSP
Shapes in-room frequency response, stabilises AC voltage delivery for consistent peak output, and runs multi-point thermal, voltage and current monitoring.
Variable Port Tuning
Two high-flow 3.5-inch rounded ports. Run all ports open (Standard mode) for maximum extension and output, or fit the two supplied foam plugs (Sealed mode) for tighter response; select the matching mode in the app.
SVS Subwoofer App and Auto EQ
- Bluetooth control on iOS, Android and Amazon Fire: volume, low-pass filter, phase, polarity, six parametric EQs, room gain compensation, tuning modes and power management
- Three memory presets
- SVS Auto EQ measures your room with your phone's microphone or the optional SVS Auto EQ Mic and calculates correction filters to reduce peaks, nulls and localisation
Acoustically Inert, Braced Ported Cabinet
- Rigid MDF front baffle with extensive internal bracing and acoustic insulation
- Extra-thick ABS grille frame with fabric mesh cover
- Custom elastomer feet
- Rear OLED display and controls with a display-flip function

Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
Shipping & Returns
- Free shipping on orders over R500 within the country.
- Standard delivery within 2–5 business days. Delays will be communicated. This might vary slightly depending on your location.
- Return items in original condition for a full refund. (unopened state)
- Returns that are open/unboxed will be subject to a handling fee. Refunds will only be processed after testing the unit.
