Overview

Big Sound. Small Footprint. No Compromises.

Redefining what’s possible in compact subwoofer design, the 3000 Micro delivers astonishing, full-bodied bass from a sleek 10-inch enclosure that fits seamlessly into any room. Built for both high-fidelity music systems and cinematic home theaters, it’s proof that true low-frequency power doesn’t require a massive cabinet.

For years, audio engineers have chased the challenge of creating a micro subwoofer that delivers chest-pounding impact without distortion or cabinet resonance. The 3000 Micro achieves it—with cutting-edge amplifier technology, precision engineering, and flawless balance between output and control.

Powered by the Sledge STA-800D2 amplifier with discrete MOSFET output, the 3000 Micro generates immense current on demand, translating to effortless, room-energizing performance. Its dual opposing 8-inch active drivers operate in perfect harmony, eliminating cabinet vibration while producing bass output that rivals much larger subwoofers. The result is tight, musical, and shockingly deep low-frequency response—ideal for serious listeners who demand accuracy and power in one compact package.

A 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP processor adds the intelligence behind the muscle, enabling optimized tuning, real-world frequency curves, and app-based customization through the SVS Subwoofer Control App. Whether you’re fine-tuning for your space or switching between movie and music modes, control is always within reach.

The 3000 Micro isn’t just small—it’s a statement in precision engineering. Compact size, uncompromising performance, and sound that defies expectations.

Description

Dual Opposing 8" Active Drivers — Compact Power, Unmatched Precision

Experience physics-defying bass performance in a compact form. The 3000 Micro Subwoofer uses two fully active 8-inch aluminum drivers, mounted on opposite sides of its sealed enclosure, working in perfect sync to produce room-shaking output with absolute control.

This dual-driver configuration delivers the surface area and power of much larger subs, but with the speed, accuracy, and balance only a sealed design can achieve. The result: tight, musical bass that hits hard without boom or distortion.

• Dual 8" aluminum-coned drivers fire in perfect opposition for balanced, vibration-free operation.
• Parallel driver connection ensures equal current distribution and precise, controlled response.
• Progressive inverted surrounds deliver exceptional excursion for deep, tactile bass you can feel.
• Proprietary ferrite motor and four-layer copper voice coil minimize distortion and maintain efficiency.
• Rigid, powder-coated baskets optimize cooling, rigidity, and damping for consistent performance.

By canceling mechanical energy between both woofers, the 3000 Micro eliminates cabinet movement — staying solid and stable even during the most intense playback sessions.

Precision Motor Design — Maximum Output, Zero Compromise

An oversized, vented motor assembly delivers the power and precision this dual-driver system demands.
Engineered for thermal efficiency and mechanical control, the motor works in harmony with the Sledge amplifier to maintain accurate driver motion and low distortion — even during the most demanding bass transients.

• Lightweight, vented aluminum cones ensure rigid yet responsive performance.
• Long-throw surrounds and reinforced gaskets maintain longevity and stability.
• Optimized motor geometry enables effortless, distortion-free output.

The result is a subwoofer that feels bigger than it looks — with room-filling dynamics and pinpoint transient response in a design that fits almost anywhere.

Sledge STA-800D2 Amplifier — 800 Watts of Intelligent Power

Behind the dual-driver system lies the Sledge STA-800D2 amplifier, combining Class D efficiency with discrete MOSFET output stages for high-current control and peak precision.
This amp doesn’t just power — it commands.

• 800 watts RMS, over 2,500 watts peak output for reference-level performance.
• Class D architecture ensures cool, efficient operation.
• MOSFET design delivers immense current for deep, distortion-free output.
• Multi-band limiters maintain total control, even under extreme conditions.
• Paired with a custom 50 MHz Analog Devices DSP, this amplifier adapts to your room, optimizing output, frequency response, and transient control for deep, accurate, and perfectly balanced bass.

Smart DSP Control — Sound Tuned for You

The SVS DSP Engine is the heart of intelligent bass management. Access advanced controls via the SVS Subwoofer App, available for iOS, Android, and Amazon devices.
From your seat, you can fine-tune crossover points, adjust polarity, and sculpt your low end to perfection.

• Bluetooth connectivity — full control even when the subwoofer is out of sight.
• Save custom presets for music, movies, and gaming with one-touch recall.
• 3-band parametric EQ with precision adjustments for Q, gain, and frequency.
• Fine-tune room gain and phase for seamless integration with your main speakers.
• This is not just convenience — it’s complete sonic control, engineered for audiophiles who demand precision.

Rear Intelligent Control Interface — Simple and Functional

For hands-on adjustments, the rear Intelligent Control Interface (ICI) provides quick access to essential tuning functions:

• Level, low-pass, and phase controls for quick system matching.
• USB power output for the optional SVS SoundPath Wireless Adapter.
• RCA inputs for universal AV receiver and preamp compatibility.

Acoustically Inert Cabinet — Built to Stay Silent

Every detail of the 3000 Micro’s sealed cabinet is designed for performance and durability. Its extra-thick MDF panels, internal bracing, and acoustic insulation create a completely inert enclosure — no resonance, no vibration, just pure bass.

• Non-resonant perforated metal grilles protect drivers while maintaining clarity.

• Internal bracing ensures rigidity even at high output levels.
• Custom iso-elastomer feet improve stability and reduce floor vibration.
• The result? Uncolored, distortion-free sound that stays true to your music and movies, even when pushed to reference volume.

Small Subwoofer. Massive Performance.

The SVS 3000 Micro redefines what a compact subwoofer can do. It delivers the physicality, precision, and musicality of a full-sized model — all in a sleek, furniture-grade cabinet that fits effortlessly into your home.

Compact size. Immense power. Pure control.
That’s the difference you hear — and feel — with every note.
