SVS 3000 Micro Sealed Subwoofer with Fully Active Dual 8" Drivers (Piano Gloss Black)

UPDATE: Liked it. lot at first unboxing / listening, but it's even better after using the SVS app and my amplifier's corresponding settings to set SVS cub's crossover at 75hz and 12db along with my amp's HPF (High Pass Filter) to the same settings. Wow. From great to can't stop listening.... Compared the sound and performance of the SVS Micro to a Sonos mini subwoofer and a WiiM subwoofer in a small 12x12 room, paired with a Sonos Port pumped through an NAD 16-60 amplifier. Surprisingly good for music listening. This subwoofer is noticeably better than either of the others. WiiM was flat sounding. Sonos sub won’t pair with a Sonos port, so had to link to a used Sonos Amp w/o any speakers attached. Wasteful workaround, and sound is very good but not as good as the SVS Micro 3000. Isn’t as punchy or heart pounding as a larger subwoofer? No, but it punches way above its small size, and is very small compared to other subwoofers I’ve used over many years of budget audiophile listening.

If other subwoofers rely on the force of size, this little guy is Yoda. I wanted something to provide precise low ends for audiophile-grade music, not thunderous booms for movies. Reading reviews of the dual opposing drivers combined with the 800W of power convinced me to give this little guy a try. Glad I did. Wow! Even though I had measured for size, it still struck as. tiny after setup, but surely the sound is not small after listening. Exactly what I was looking for. It perfectly replicated the big round lows of the oft-subdued standing bass in great classic jazz retaining its rich overtones, and added remarkable color to exotic percussion. I had long been fascinated by the sound of Joachim' Cooders "dumbek" in his dad's "Ganges Delta Blues" on "Meeting by the River" (Cooder/Bhat), but this thing made that instrument fill the room with ethereal sound. I knew the mighty little guy was overly capable when my wife was dismayed by house rattles while I was simply listening Getz & Gilberto's famed jazz classic with the volume set on -18dB. The risk to the marriage was not only remedied by picking up the SVS "Sound Isolation System" (special rubber feet), but the chosen solution further sharpened the sound eliminating imperfect room modes. The SVS mobile app made setup and configuration super easy including the low-pass filter tool which recommended an 80 Hz low pass frequency for my speakers (3D Acoustics 3D8's) that worked well. After playing with it a bit over time, I settled on a 24 dB "slope" setting as giving the cleanest sound thus letting my primary speakers take over pretty quickly above that. Can't speak to pros and cons for chair-rattling theater applications, but this little guy punches WAY above its weight for high fidelity music. Think I'm just gonna call it Yoda as it packs a whole lotta force in a tiny little body.

This sub delivers for me. Parameter adjustment using the mobile app has spoiled me. I’ll never be happy with any other method.

Boom, boom, boom, works great in are small room. Works great for LP vinyl, CDs

Unbelievably awesome subwoofer for the size and price. Pairs seamlessly with any speakers I've tried it with, and still kicking out fast, tight, clean bass 4 years latet. I wish the app was a bit easier to use, but it's a great feature to have regardless. Hoping to buy a 2nd one soon

The SVS 3000 micro sealed subwoofer has dual 8-inch speakers on opposing sides of the cube. It's small, light-weight, and has easy-to-use rear controls. I installed this using the LFE jack on my receiver, which means that the bass is pretty much managed by the receiver! After messaging SVS about an app problem where the new sub wasn't showing up, I deleted and reinstalled the app, and both my SVS PB16-Ultra and the new SVS 3000 Micro subs showed up! With the app, it's super easy to customize the sup, and to adjust the sub's volume. I purchased this sub to add bass to a stereo system in my office that uses some KEF R3 Meta bookshelf speakers that didn't quite have enough bass. In my small office space, this 3000 Micro sub provides just enough bass and punch to make my music fun! The sub isn't big enough or powerful enough for home theater, nor for larger rooms. But in my case, its small size and great looks blend perfectly into its setting, and the bass blends seamlessly with my bookshelf's sound. Highly recommended for small rooms where you're not needing a ton of bass!

Wow! Powerful sub in a small package. Impeccable craftsmanship and amazing Bluetooth app that lets you configure everything on your phone. Very happy I went with this instead of a comparable KEF.

I have this is going down to about 27 HZ for me in a small bedroom with measurements taken at 75 decibels. The SVS app rules with the three-band parametric equalizer to help even out the bass. Then I can do further equalization on my amplifier. I connected this briefly to my my Denon home theater and tested edge of Tomorrow intro sequence with it and it was shaking the floors and the shelves to a similar degree as my SVS sb1000 pro. So this is a very capable small subwoofer for is size. It's important to note though that I don't listen at high levels over 80 decibels so if you're somebody who needs to listen at really high volumes then you need a bigger subwoofer. With it being small it's easy to move it around from location to location. So sometimes I am moving it to a TV in a guest room where we play video games to be able to get the low end for the video games. Using the app makes volume adjustments really easy on the fly. Plus I have two presets to work one for when it's in the small bedroom and one for when it's in the guest room connected to the TV for quick switching between equalization , crossover, and volume profiles. Wish it was a little bit cheaper but so worth it because of the app and the sound quality
