First Ever SVS Dual Port Cabinet Design – Maximized Airflow without Distortion.

PB-3000 is the first SVS subwoofer optimized with a dual port cabinet design for maximizing airflow, driver motion and amplifier power, while eliminating potential for port turbulence. Foam port plugs are available upon request with the PB-3000 and allow for variable port tuning. Each response curve for the two port tuning modes (standard and sealed), is fully configured to the respective mode to achieve balanced and accurate low frequency response.

New Rear Panel Intelligent Control Interface (ICI).

The rear panel of the PB-3000 Series Subwoofers features the first ever SVS Intelligent Control Interface (ICI), which is designed specifically for these subwoofers. The ICI provides control options for the most critical functions of the subwoofer, allowing for adjustments to be made to the volume based on personal listening preferences and content to achieve a full and balanced bass response. Additionally, the ICI includes a low pass filter to ensure seamless blending with loudspeakers and smooth sonic transitions, as well as a phase control to shift the timing of the subwoofer output to align with main speakers or other subwoofers.

Acoustically Inert and Rigidly Braced Sealed Cabinet Design.

The PB-3000 Series cabinet is acoustically optimized with a double-thick MDF front baffle and extensive internal bracing to create a resonance-free environment that allows for uncompromised subwoofer performance. The cabinet is also equipped with acoustic insulation, which eliminates all coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when playing the deepest low frequencies at reference volume. The subwoofer includes custom elastomer feet to reduce noise artifacts within a room, as well as a protective, non-resonant steel mesh grille to ensure long-lasting durability.

PB-3000 Smartphone App – Easiest Way Ever to Manage Subwoofer DSP and Control.

3000 Series subwoofer app is the most convenient way ever to control volume, access multiple DSP functions and program custom presets for one-touch tuning optimized for music, movies, gaming, and more. Adjust crossover frequencies, a three-band parametric EQ, polarity, room gain and more from your favorite seat.

The SVS subwoofer app also allows advanced customization so you can name your subwoofer for easy preset switching, choose the subwoofer standby mode and reset the subwoofer to factory settings.
