SVS, a titan in the high-fidelity audio landscape, has returned to the international stage at CES 2026 to showcase a portfolio that blurs the line between home audio and live reality.
The brand is captivating attendees with a series of high-octane demonstrations, ranging from an expansive 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos theater experience to the unveiling of a flagship soundbar system—all engineered to pull the listener deeper into their favorite films and melodies.
Redefining the Depths: The 3000 R|Evolution Subwoofer Launch
For SVS, low-frequency performance is about more than just volume; it is about creating a physical sensation that lingers. The newly debuted 3000 R|Evolution Series draws inspiration from the industry-shaking 17-Ultra R|Evolution flagship, condensing two decades of acoustic mastery into a more accessible footprint. These units are designed to release bass with surgical precision and authority, elevating gaming and cinema into high-impact, emotional events.
This series introduces a suite of technological upgrades, including MOSFET amplification and sophisticated power management, to establish a new benchmark for its category. Two primary models lead the charge:
- SB-3000 R|Evolution: A sealed-box design for those seeking musical purity, capable of reaching infrasonic depths of 17 Hz with incredible detail.
- PB-3000 R|Evolution: A ported powerhouse built to shake large rooms with cinematic force, plummeting to 16 Hz with adjustable tuning options.
Inside the 3000 R|Evolution Tech Stack
| Feature | Specification / Benefit |
| 13-inch Driver | High-excursion design for deep, detailed output. |
| Split-Wind Voice Coil | Optimizes magnetic pull for lightning-fast response. |
| MOSFET Amplifier | 1,200W continuous (4,000W+ peak) for massive, controlled current. |
| 295MHz DSP | Smart monitoring of thermals and driver limits. |
| Auto Room EQ | Customizes sound to the room’s unique acoustics (Launching Q1 2026). |
Cinema-Grade Impact, Simplified – The R|Evolution Soundbar
The SVS R|Evolution Soundbar offers a high-performance alternative to bulky traditional setups. This system utilizes a 3-way acoustic architecture across the Left, Center, and Right channels. With nine specialized drivers and 180 watts of power, it delivers sparkling dialogue and explosive dynamics that defy its slim profile.
Beyond standard stereo, the system decodes Dolby Atmos and can be scaled into 3.1, 5.1, or even 5.2 configurations. For users without extra speakers, Dolby Atmos Virtualization creates a 3D soundstage, while the Dialogue Enhancer ensures every word is heard clearly.
A Subwoofer in a Class of Its Own
The R|Evolution Soundbar’s secret weapon is the included R|Evolution Wireless Subwoofer. Unlike the flimsy subwoofers often bundled with soundbars, this unit features a 12-inch high-excursion driver and a 600-watt MOSFET amplifier. It provides effortless, room-pressurizing bass that remains perfectly synced with the main bar.
For the ultimate experience, the Soundbar Max upgrade adds a pair of wireless surround speakers, offering a true plug-and-play 5.1 setup via a stable, proprietary multi-band wireless link.
High-Resolution Connectivity and Availability
The system is built for the modern home, featuring the following:
- Wireless: WiFi, Airplay 2, Chromecast, and Spotify Connect.
- Quality: Support for 24-bit/96kHz high-res streaming and Bluetooth.
- Wired: HDMI 2.1 with eARC support for seamless TV integration.
“CES is where we demonstrate that you don’t have to choose between convenience and raw emotional power,” noted Nick Brown, Vice President of SVS. “Whether you are in our Atmos demo cabin or standing in front of our new soundbar, we want you to forget the gear and just get lost in the story.”
The 3000 R|Evolution Series is slated for an early Q1 2026 release, while the R|Evolution Soundbar is targeted for late Q2 2026.
