Dynamo subwoofers pack an incredible feature list and impressive power into a stylish, compact, room friendly package. With extensive technology including built-in wireless signal connection, anti-vibration feet, and easy to use app control, Dynamo series subwoofers not only look and sound incredible, but are extremely user friendly. Although correct placement plays a key role in optimizing subwoofer performance, getting a cable where you need it can be challenging. With the inconvenience of running long lengths of cable through walls, along baseboards or under floors and carpets, properly concealing the subwoofer cable is not always a simple task. To solve the problem, Dynamo subwoofers incorporate a built-in Wireless Receiver for use with the included Wireless Subwoofer Transmitter. With quick and easy setup thanks to direct pairing, eliminating cable clutter has never been easier and with lossless transmission and low latency, even the most discerning enthusiast will be thrilled with the results. Solid bass performance is a critical component of any audio system, and helps provide visceral impact to your entertainment. The integrated anti-vibration feet improve bass performance while reducing floor and wall vibrations. By dramatically reducing the energy transfer between the subwoofer and the floor, unwanted room rattles and buzzes are removed, leaving tighter, cleaner bass and improved system clarity and dynamics. As a less intrusive alternative to acoustic room treatments, the integrated anti-vibration feet on Dynamo Series subwoofers can also help minimize noise complaints by reducing vibration transfers into adjoining rooms. Ideal for all floors, hard surface and carpet spike options are both included. Dynamo Series subwoofers also take advantage of MartinLogan’s Subwoofer Control app for iOS and Android devices, allowing you to easily adjust settings like Volume, DSP Mode, Phase, and many others right from the comfort of your seat for ultimate control and ease of tuning. With 3 DSP modes for Movies, Music, or Night, you can optimize the performance of your subwoofer with a single press in the app. Choose Movie for the highest output, Music for lowest distortion, or Night to tame things down and help reduce noise complaints. With connections for both RCA and XLR LFE, Stereo RCA, and Speaker level, Dynamo Series subwoofers are an ideal choice for both Home Theater and Music applications, integrating seamlessly into any system. The Subwoofer Out connection also makes it easy to add additional subwoofers to your system, further increasing bass performance. As with all MartinLogan subwoofers, the Dynamo Series is designed to work with any speaker system while also being uniquely engineered to keep pace with the renowned clarity of MartinLogan loudspeakers. Dynamo Series subwoofers offer highly detailed and powerful bass performance in a stylish and compact package.

Reference subwoofer performance is now available in micro form. 3000 Micro R|Evolution delivers effortless, authoritative output to 20Hz with breathtaking musical accuracy, all from a lifestyle-friendly 11-inch cabinet that fits nearly anywhere.

I've owned 5 SVS subs over the years from the venerable 150lb PB13 Ultra and PB 12 Plus DSP to the PB1000. This is my first SVS sub that uses their newest Sledge amp with 295MHz DSP and the phone app. So far, it has been a great experience. The SB3000R sounds very clean and has gobs of output for its size. I would say the sound signature is punchy but it still has some "weight". Being a sealed sub it doesn't plumb the depths quite as well as its much larger, ported brethren but it still goes below 20Hz and with some authority. I doubt many would find anything to complain about here. I'm using a single SB3000R with my PC in a 23x14x9 room and it has more than enough output with power to spare. Watching Season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters has been a lot of fun and it shook the house. I actually ended up buying the optional SVS Soundpath isolation feet to keep the kitchen lights downstairs from rattling. If I had one complaint it would be that I miss the old metal grill. The new cloth looks clean and I'm sure it saves the company a buck but the old grill gave SVS subs their signature look and it actually protected the driver! If you are looking for a powerful sub with a small"ish" footprint and a clean appearance that will work with most living room decor, give this SB3000R a try.
