For connection to a Stereo Receiver or Pream-

plifier  without  auto-set-up,  adjust  the  3000 

Micro  volume  to  match  the  output  of  your 

main speakers, and adjust the low pass filter 

to blend the bass between the 3000 Micro and 

your  speakers.    If  needed,  consult  with  our 

Sound Experts on the best phase setting.

For additional guidance on recommended crossover or low pass filter settings specific to your system, 

visit our Subwoofer Matching Tool at 

www.svsound.com/merlin

, or contact our Sound Experts.

For connection to an AV Receiver, set the 3000 Micro volume to -10 in the app (on 

the rear panel, all but the last two lights illuminated).  Set the low pass filter to LFE 

and the phase to 0 degrees, then run auto-set-up on the AV Receiver.  Always 

re-run set-up if you move the subwoofer to 

another location.

The rear panel features an intuitive user interface with controls for adjusting the subwoofer’s 

primary settings. The blue LED bar shows settings for Volume, Low Pass Frequency, and Phase. 

Simply press the setting you want to change and then use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the 

settings.

Please note, some DSP settings can only be accessed using the SVS app.

The SVS App is the easiest and most convenient 

way to access all of the advanced control features 

available on your 3000 Micro, from the comfort of 

your favorite seat.
