SVS Ultra Evolution Center

Dramatic Styling Yields Sonic Benefits

The Ultra Center cabinet design yields numerous sonic benefits. The non-parallel cabinet panels reduce standing waves within the cabinet, effectively eliminating frequency response coloration. The wedge-shaped front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improved on-axis high frequency response. Even the grille design is FEA-optimized to maximize acoustic transparency.

SVS Drivers - Extreme Performance and Uncompromised Fidelity

The proprietary SVS drivers utilize the finest materials and design features to ensure the highest sound quality and performance. The Ultra Center driver array features a 1" aluminum dome tweeter, a 4" midrange driver, and dual 6.5" woofers. The vertically aligned tweeter and midrange improves horizontal axis polar response, with reduced lobing and comb filtering for a smooth frequency response and excellent dialogue intelligibility at all listening positions.

The 1" aluminum dome tweeter utilizes an FEA-optimized diffuser which delivers a very open 'airy' presentation and extremely unveiled highs.

The 4" midrange delivers amazing dialogue clarity and detail with powerful and room-filling presence and projection:

·         A composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio which improves sensitivity and maintains pistonic behavior well beyond the pass-band of the driver.
·         A vented voice coil former to minimize air compression artifacts at high drive levels.
·         An aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and improve high frequency response.
·         A cast aluminum basket to ensure precise alignment of critical components and enhance heat-sinking capacity.

The 6.5" woofer delivers excellent lower midrange clarity, along with remarkably powerful and deep bass response:

·         A composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio which improves sensitivity and maintains pistonic behavior well beyond the pass-band of the driver.
·         A vented voice coil former to minimize air compression artifacts at high drive levels.
·         An aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and improve high frequency response.
