Features

3-Way Center-Channel Speaker: The SVS Ultra Evolution Center speaker employs a 3-way driver design featuring a 1" diamond coated aluminum dome tweeter, one 4.5" glass fiber cone midrange driver, and two 6.5" glass fiber cone bass woofers that are seamlessly blended by a premium 3-way crossover network (with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors, and heavy-trace printed circuit board) for a sound that is revealing, detailed, and dynamic. Precisely tuned crossover frequencies and slopes between the tweeter, midrange driver, and woofers result in truthful phase coherency and a precise, robust soundstage. The tweeter and midrange driver are configured in a vertical array that enhances on- and off-axis frequency response ensuring transparency and clear vocals at every listening position.

• Diamond Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeter: Through a process called Vapor Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminum dome tweeter to vastly improve rigidity and acoustic properties. This breakthrough in material science raises the frequency response well beyond the limits of human hearing resulting in effortless, airy, and unveiled highs with no measurable distortion. The diamond coating also pushes low frequency extension of the tweeter deeper for more seamless blending with the midrange. An Organic cell lattice tweeter diffuser protects the dome and employs semi-random pattern derived from organic cell structures to improve off-axis response and maximize the listening "sweet spot".
• Glass Fiber Composite Cone Midrange & Woofers: The 4.5" midrange driver and two 6.5" woofers are comprised of a glass fiber composite cone with rubber surround that offer superb stiffness-to-mass ratio to convey stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy, and deep, accurate bass. The glass fiber composite cones sit inside precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets to ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation. Each driver's vented aluminum voice coil former maximizes thermal control while minimizing air compression artifacts at high drive levels.

Time Aligned Cabinet Geometry: The Ultra Evolution Center speaker's acoustically tuned enclosure, featuring a separate internal chamber for the midrange driver, optimizes midrange and low frequency tuning, plus eliminates any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum. FEA-optimized 3/4" MDF cabinet construction, bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncolored response, even at the highest drive levels. The extra-thick 1" curved front baffle provides a rigid, resonance-free mounting surface for the drivers, plus aligns the sonic radiation point of the tweeter and woofer on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant - maximizing phase coherence for a more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.

• Dual Rear-Firing Ports: The speaker enclosure is a bass reflex design with dual rear-firing 1.6" wide-flared ports to provide greater efficiency and bigger bass response.
• Magnetic Grille: The included acoustically transparent grilles help contribute to reduced edge diffraction and improved on-axis high frequency response. The grilles attach magnetically to the front of the speakers.

Dual Binding Posts: The SVS Ultra Evolution Center speaker is outfitted with two sets of sturdy binding posts allowing to bi-amp or bi-wire the floorstanding loudspeaker. These binding posts ensure a secure connection to many types of cable and connectors. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-lugs and bare wire (up to 10AWG).

• Bi-Wiring: Bi-wiring can provide noticeable improvements in the overall transparency of your loudspeakers. Run separate speaker wires to the low & high frequency drivers from a single amplifier (the upper set of binding posts are for the high frequency drivers; the lower set of binding posts are for the low frequency drivers).
• Bi-Amping: Bi-amping allows you to use separate amplifiers for the high & low frequency sections of your loudspeaker for greater dynamic range & lower distortion. We recommend that your separate amplifiers have identical gain to preserve the speaker's voicing balance.

Placement & Mounting Options: The center-channel speaker should be placed directly below your TV or screen, and pointed at the primary listening position. Pull the center-channel speaker forward so the front-baffle's bottom edge aligns with the edge of the mounting surface it sits on to reduce unwanted acoustic reflections.

• Stick-on rubber feet are include that attach to the bottom of the speaker to protect it when placed on a shelf or stand. The rubber feet add approximately 0.125" to the overall height of the speaker.
• The Ultra Evolution Center does not included any brackets, keyhole slots, or threaded-inserts to wall-mount the speaker.

Ultra Evolution Series: The new Ultra Evolution Series by SVS consists of seven speaker models including three floorstanding loudspeakers (Tower/Titan/Pinnacle), two bookshelf speakers (Nano/Bookshelf), one center channel speaker (Center), and a height speaker (Elevation). The Ultra Evolution Series features SVS advancements in driver design, cabinet architecture, and component materials.

Optional Powered Sub: A SVS powered sub (sold separately) makes a great addition to the Ultra Evolution series of loudspeakers for deeper and more immersive bass.
