The low end registered by the 85.1-pound PB-3000 R|Evolution remains refined and controlled, and extends down to 17Hz.
Able to deliver cinematic slam from blockbuster films, energy from live sporting events, and revealing textures from musical programs, PB-3000 R|Evolution plays with gripping stability, focus, and quickness. Its driver uses a 24.1-pound woofer featuring a 18.5-pound motor, along with the aforementioned voice coil that’s built around a two-inch aluminum former for stellar thermal conductivity. Its discrete STA-1200D2 amplifiers with four 60A MOSFET output stages combines with a switch-mode power supply to ensure reliability and signal quality under all conditions.
PB-3000 R|Evolution makes life easy with a smartphone control app and amplifier interface compatible with Apple iOS, Google Android, and Amazon Fire platforms. Enjoy convenient subwoofer calibration and management with controls for practically every function, memory presets, variable port tuning modes, and a rear-panel OLED that offers fast, direct access to the most important features. And PB-3000 R|Evolution will soon allow you to use your mobile device’s built-in microphone to measure the acoustic performance of the sub in your room and automatically calculate equalization filters.
Measuring a manageable 21.9 x 18.3 x 24.7 inches (HWD), PB-3000 R|Evolution is housed in a robust MDF cabinet with strategic internal bracing to cancel resonance. A protective ABS grille frame with fabric mesh cover, iso-elastomer feet, two tuning plugs, a supplied six-foot power cord, and a five-year manufacturer warranty round out a subwoofer that you'll never forget.
