All New First Ever 13-inch High-Excursion SVS Driver – Iron Fist Inside a Velvet Glove.

Completely new 13-inch high-excursion SVS driver delivers punishing levels of low frequency output, while maintaining crisp speed in transients by stopping and starting on a dime with precision. An aluminum vented cone with exceptional stiffness to mass ratio and a proprietary injection molded extreme-excursion surround ensure flawless pistonic motion for pinpoint control and accuracy.

Flat edge wound split-wind voice coil within the motor assembly provides effortless, on-demand power at high excursion, while reducing mass and improving overall driver efficiency. The result is room-shaking output with amazingly precise response when the music, movie or other content demands it most.

Dual ferrite magnet motorassembly weighing nearly 25lbs generates massive amounts of current to produce extreme driver excursion with precise control for the deepest, most accurate and authoritative bass possible from a 13-inch driver.

Lightweight and rigid aluminum vented cone with composite fiber dustcap generates massive output with pinpoint accurate frequency response.

Long-throw parabolic surround and proprietary injection molded gasket ensure longevity and allow extreme excursion for room-energizing bass.

Sledge STA-800D2 Amplifier – Massive Power with Precise Control.

Conservatively rated at 800 watts RMS, 2,500+ watts peak power, the Sledge STA-800D2 amplifier maximizes the full potential of the 13-inch driver with effortless power and absolute control. The innovative design combines the efficiency of a Class D amplifier with the ability to move colossal amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs for outstanding real-world subwoofer performance at all drive levels.

High Current Output of Fully Discrete MOSFETs with Efficiency of Class D Amplifierallows the Sledge STA-800D2 amplifier to move massive amounts of current through the fully discrete MOSFETs enabling immense output with surgical precision.

Sophisticated 50Mhz High Resolution Analog Devices Audio DSP is the most advanced digital processor ever used in a subwoofer and maintains pinpoint accuracy and pristine sound quality through advanced in-room tuning, optimized frequency response curves, powerful DSP controls and more.

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 come standard 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.

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. Bluetooth connectivity allows full control, even when the subwoofer is out of sight and bi-directional feedback shows adjustments in real time on both the app and rear panel subwoofer interface.

3 custom presets can be saved for movies, music and more so you have one-touch tuning optimized for your listening preferences.

2-way feedback shows updates in real time on both the app and rear panel subwoofer interface.

Connects via Bluetooth for convenient control even when subwoofer is out of sight.

3-band parametric EQ controller allows precise adjustments for frequency slope and Q factor down to the single Hz level with four different slopes, so users can improve performance by eliminating peaks, nulls and other room issues.

Variable Port Tuning Modes with customized frequency response curves for “Standard” and “Sealed” allow tuning for maximum output or deep bass extension and transient speed via included port plugs.

New Rear Panel Intelligent Control Interface (ICI).

Designed specifically for the 3000 Series Subwoofers, the first ever SVS Intelligent Control Interface (ICI) on the rear panel of the 3000 Series cabinets provide control options for the subwoofer’s most critical functions. Adjustments can be made for volume based on listening preferences and content to achieve full and balanced bass response.

Other features of the ICI include a low pass filter to ensure smooth sonic transitions and seamless blending with loudspeakers and phase control to shift timing of subwoofer output to align with main speakers or additional subwoofers.

Acoustically Inert and Rigidly Braced Sealed Cabinet Design.

Double-thick MDF front baffle and extensive internal bracing in the acoustically optimized PB-3000 Series cabinet create a resonance-free environment that serves as a blank canvas for uncompromised subwoofer performance. Acoustic insulation eliminates all coloration or resonance from the cabinet, even when the deepest low frequencies are played at reference volume. Includes protective, non-resonant steel mesh grille and custom elastomer feet for reducing noise artifacts within a room.

THE 2ND SVS PB-3000 SUBWOOFER :)

Hi all,
I'll be short since l have just a couple minutes and l really wanna write this review...

2nd thing is about this beast pb3000... I had one and it was awesome...then Aamir helped me to buy the 2nd one, and all l can say is WOOOOOW, the room is full of sound and my HT is really alive...music sound fantastic and this guy is really really powerful.

I do recommend this subwoofer with all my heart and all l can say is that l really look forward to have a room where l can buy another pair... :))

Again thank you very much Aamir and whatever you guys need...he is the answer :))

Take care and all the best.

It was a pleasure dealing with Aamir at Summit HiFi. I don’t normally buy AV components online sight unseen but Aamir made the experience seamless, even calling me to keep me updated on the shipping timeline. Shipping only took 10 days from Ontario to Alberta. I love my dual SVS PB-3000’s!! They sound fabulous for music and really make movie watching an entirely engaging experience. My home theatre has never sounded so good. I would certainly recommend buying from Summit HIFi.

Perfect sub for my setup

First of all I am glad I went with Summit HiFi... Amir and his buddy personally delivered this sub to my house... great service!

This sub replaces a Paradigm Servo 15v2 that gave up the ghost after almost two decades of service. I am using it 50% for watching movies and 50% listening to music. I was surprised because when compared to the Servo 15v2, this sub has more impact and actually plumbs the depths more even though the driver is smaller on the PB-3000 (13.5" vs 15"). I listen to a variety of music (heavy metal, jazz, rap, alternative, classic rock) and the PB-3000 is a great complement to my setup. It integrates very well with the bookshelf monitor speakers I am using along with the buttkicker transducers on my chair... I currently have it setup with the ports open. I will have to try it in sealed mode one of these days. The sub came with two foam inserts which can be used to plug the ports.

I also find the SVS app very handy... I programmed music to have a gain of -10db (default setting) and movies -13db respectively. The app makes it very easy to switch modes from the comfort of my seat. There are other parameters which I have not explored yet as I am happy with mostly default settings.

After almost a month of daily usage, I am very satisfied with this sub... Highly recommended to anyone looking to increase their movie and/or music enjoyment.
