SVS 3000 SERIES SUBS NOW AVAILABLE IN UK

Rejoice, for we in the UK now have access to the SVS 3000 Series subwoofers!

The SVS 3000 Series subwoofers are now available in the UK. The smaller cabinets of the SVS 3000 Series still promise to deliver the brand's signature bass quality and dynamics albeit in a smaller footprint. 

The subs feature an all-new 13-inch high-excursion SVS driver powered by 800W RMS of MOSFET amplification. Additionally, you can tune the speakers using Analog Devices audio DSP through an innovative SVS smartphone app.

The new SB (Sealed Box) and PB (Ported Box) models will offer bass lovers subterranean frequencies and simple, accurate room control from a broader range of room locations.

Powering the 3000 Series is a sophisticated Sledge STA-800D2 amplifier, which combines the high current output of discrete MOSFETs with Class D efficiency. Capable of an impressive 800W RMS (2,500W peak), the STA-800D2 will support exceptionally dynamic driver excursions while maintaining precise control for effortless clean bass reproduction at reference levels. Governing the output is a 50 MHz Analog Devices Audio DSP with 56bit filtering designed with multiple parameter adjustments to achieve the ideal in-room response. We are told that this is the most sophisticated ever used in a home subwoofer.

The 13-inch 3000 Series' drivers are entirely new designs combining proprietary features including a sizeable dual-ferrite magnet motor assembly weighing over 11kg, edge-wound voice coils, lightweight and rigid aluminium venter cones, and a long-throw parabolic driver surround built for extreme excursion, SPLs and longevity.

Convenient control is possible via the SVS subwoofer DSP smartphone app for Apple, Android and Amazon devices. Launched with the flagship SVS 16-Ultra subwoofers, the SVS app offers an easy way to control volume, adjust crossover frequencies, calibrate a three-band parametric EQ, set polarity, access multiple DSP functions and program custom presets for the one-touch tuning of music, movies, gaming sources. Advanced customisation allows for subwoofer naming, standby mode selection and system resetting. Bluetooth connectivity delivers full system access - even when the subwoofer is out of sight - while bi-directional feedback shows adjustments in real time on both the app and rear panel interface.

The 3000 Series models are equipped with a double-thick MDF front baffle and rigid internal bracing to support the drive unit and to ensure an acoustically inert environment.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
