3000 Micro Subwoofer (Piano Gloss White) | Active Dual 8-in Drivers, 800 Watt RMS, Sealed Cabinet

The SVS 3000 Micro completely exceeded my expectations. It’s small enough to disappear visually, but the bass output is anything but small. The dual opposing 8‑inch drivers deliver clean, tight, room‑shaking low end that feels far bigger than the cabinet size suggests. It fills the room effortlessly without any distortion or boominess, even at higher volumes. What really sets this sub apart is the SVS app. It’s hands‑down the best control app I’ve used on any subwoofer — better than the one on my $3,000 Bowers & Wilkins unit. The interface is intuitive, responsive, and gives you precise control over tuning, EQ, and presets. Adjustments update instantly, and the app makes dialing in the perfect sound incredibly easy. The sealed cabinet design keeps the bass accurate and controlled, and the piano gloss white finish looks premium in person. Despite its compact size, this sub hits hard enough to shake the room when the movie calls for it, but it’s also refined enough for music listening. If you want a subwoofer that combines huge performance, small size, and the best app ecosystem in the category, the SVS 3000 Micro is a standout choice.

I was recently upgrading my desktop stereo system and with the need for small speakers a decent sub was needed as the sub I had didn’t fit the situation well. I had seen mention of this sub in several audio forums so I checked it out along with reviews on those forums. This was a “used” purchase that was listed as mint. It was actually an open box item with the original packaging intact. It was literally plug and play with the single cable to the LFE port on the amp with the sub crossover on the amp set at 80hz. The dual 8” drivers in a small package are totally amazing in the power it packs. I haven’t pushed the volume to the extremes as it is plenty load and strong enough to rattle the clocks on the walls. So audio volume wise it is more than enough for the room where it is set under the desk. You can use the SVS app on your phone or tablet to fine tune/tweak settings so you don’t have to get down on the floor. It has a 12v trigger to power it up if your amp has the capability. It can also be used to provide all the cross over functions for an amp that does not have a subwoofer preout like vintage amps. Function…check. Value, totally a great sub for the money. Pair it with a good set of bookshelf speakers of even a small speaker like the SVS prime satellite speakers and you’ll be impressed.

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.

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.

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

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!

I have finally found the best subwoofer I have ever had that complements and enhances my home entertainment system. This is my forth in about 15 years, but this SVS 3000 Micro blows all of the others away—even those with much larger drivers. If you are into music as I am, this is the sub to have. It produces a deep yet pleasantly smooth mellowness of upper bass tones that enrich the musicality of most types of music. It also handles all of the various “explosive” sounds of movie soundtracks very well. Using the bass management of my Denon AVR and the default bass configuration settings of the sub via the SVS App is all you need to do—other than adjusting the bass volume to your preference. I have placed the sub 4 inches along the front wall directly behind my home entertainment center with the 2 bass drivers firing left and right along the wall. I believe this design of the sub further enhances the bass dispersion. Also, this is a very nice subwoofer to look at with the high gloss piano black finish. You do not see any grill cloth on its front side. It is amazing how much quality outstanding bass comes out of the relatively small enclosure. This is most definitely one of the very best investments I have made for my home entertainment system in quite a while.

I combined this with Revel m105 speakers driven by a Marantz model 40n, and whoa! I loved the speaker and amp combo, but the addition of the 3000 micro is just out of this world! The setup was simple, and the app was easy to use. This is in a kitchen area, and I needed to hide the sub to keep my wife happy, so it is installed inside an antique desk. The crazy part is that the opposing speaker design gives great bass but doesn't vibrate the old desk. Very impressive!

This little guy slams like 2x sb 1000 pro in my other room, amazing speed and control, you have yo hear it to believe it. Super recommend.

The SVS 3000 Micro subwoofer is an absolute powerhouse in a compact package! Despite its small size, this sub delivers deep, punchy bass that fills the room with incredible clarity and precision. It's perfect for both music and home theater setups, handling everything from subtle bass notes to earth-shaking explosions with ease. The build quality is excellent, and the design is sleek enough to blend seamlessly into any space. I also love the app control feature, which makes it easy to fine-tune the sound to my liking. If you're looking for a compact sub that doesn't compromise on performance, the SVS 3000 Micro is unbeatable. Highly recommend!

Wow this subwoofer punches well beyond its weight and you can hide it out of you. What more could you want?

ヘビーメタルにはこれ！ 到着までワクワク出来ます(笑)
