Hi

THe SVS 1000 Pro is superior to the SVS Micro 3000. Frankly these are not that much different in size. Please run away from REL. Not worth the price..

Happy Holidays

Peace.

thanks
So for you opinion svs 1000pro is better for music than micro 3000?

Yes. It is a better sub by any metrics.

Subwoofers aren't 'for music' vs 'not for music'.

They're for low bass.

What you said is absolutely true, but (and you know this, I'm sure, but I'm just stating it for the newer folks), if a subwoofer is going to be used for home theater duty, you may end up with different recommendations since HT duty can place additional requirements for infrasonics and output levels that may not be as important for music listening.

I use The REL Tzero for low level listening in a kitchen with a pair of LSX and it would not really keep up if play just a tiny bit loud .

I bought the rel only for its footprint in that particular placement, so would not recommend in general.

Have you seen my “subwoofer comparison” spreadsheet? Link in signature.

Yes. It is a better sub by any metrics.

the SVS Customer Service
" I would recommend the 3000 Micro subwoofer, as it would have more mid-bass output than the SB-1000 Pro in a given space."

I'd dismiss this advice in a heartbeat.
They should be above that kind of sales pitch... The micro 3000 is about $900 whereas the SB-1000 Pro is about $600....
Falling asleep, perhaps later to show you the Frequency responses...

Happy holidays

Peace.

 

[sweetchaos]

Customer service that recommends the more expensive product?

Again, have you see my 'subwoofer comparison' spreadsheet? It literally has your answer.

Another question about connecting the sub, whare should I Conect the sub for best results
Bluesound 2! Or gustard x16 rca? Or topping pa7 plus?

SVS 1000Pro has significantly more bass output, but it is also almost twice as big as SVS 3000Micro. Btw where I live both these subs cost the same.

Not sure it is "twice as big" but this gives you an idea of the respective sizes...

I'd go with the larger, better sub... Volumes are not that different ...

Peace.

 

[Bogda]

Yes, that looks almost twice the size.

Little elementary school math, volume of the cuboid: V=a*b*c

V (SB-1000Pro) = 33 * 34.2 * 37.5 cm = 42 322cm^3
V (3000Micro) = 27.8 * 29.7 * 27.1 cm = 22 375 cm^3

ebay , 2nd hand JBL professional cinema , less than the prices of home dinky speakers that never seen the inside of actual pro cinema much less a dub stage ,

all need is 2nd hand ebay , behringer DCX 2496 , class d behringer NX3000D , and DCX you can easily adjust crossovers or add some PEQ filters , also add behringer FBQ 2496 with it daisy chained channel A to channel B , you'd have 80 bands of PEQ plus 9 PEQ on the DCX and if get more of same JBL model , can have 6 subs and do crossovers , time delay , phase and polarity , far , far , far , far cheaper than Rel or SVS or rtj jtr , come to JBL side its far better over here

JBL 4645 rare hard to find but often cheap
JBL 4645B
JBL 4645C

any of the above are often cheap as they are discontinued , get any of these , please then your be in JBL club , but not those home theatre subs overrated overpriced and basics of principles still remain the same , get it far cheap or go overboard expensive and don't listne to any of the insiders shills , they want little extra $$$ on the side in mail box

Are you joking or are you serious?
You are recommending 18inch sub to the guy who is deciding between 3000Micro and REL Tzero??? For somebody who lives in a smallish apartment (typical in Europe), where listening room serves multiple functions, size is a major concern. I helps with wife acceptance factor as well.
If you are listening at moderate levels in small/medium rooms, 3000Micro can provide more than enough bass.

yeah better than buying those svs at the silly high prices , plus DCX 2406 can adjust crossover made the sub sound smaller , never buy svs overrated overpriced never buy rel or any others when ebay is cheaper 2nd , never have one of those svs for those rubbish 4k near field atmos junk mixes , also get piioneer laserdisc player , hget some theatrical mixes
