SVS adds Auto EQ for R|Evolution subwoofer owners
The app-based room-calibration feature is aimed at existing owners of selected SVS subwoofers, adding automated bass equalisation without a separate processor. It brings the company’s newer subwoofer platform closer to the setup workflow already common in AV receivers and room-correction systems.

SVS Auto EQ is now available for selected R|Evolution subwoofers through the SVS Subwoofer Control App. The update adds app-based automatic subwoofer calibration, giving owners a guided way to measure in-room bass response and apply equalisation from the subwoofer’s control software.
The feature is designed for the room-dependent part of subwoofer setup. It measures the listening environment, then applies correction through the app rather than requiring users to build filters manually. SVS also recommends running Auto EQ before AVR room-correction systems such as Audyssey or Dirac.
Compatibility covers SVS 3000 R|Evolution, 5000 R|Evolution and 17-Ultra R|Evolution subwoofers. The official SVS 3000 R|Evolution family includes the SB-3000 R|Evolution, PB-3000 R|Evolution and 3000 Micro R|Evolution, while the Google Play listing says the 3000 Micro R|Evolution will receive the Auto EQ upgrade soon.
