Outstanding Vocal Reproduction, Room-Filling Presence and Outstanding Dialogue Intelligibility SVS Ultra Center Speaker
SVS Ultra Center - The Foundation For High-End Home Theaters
The Ultra Center anchors the front stage and immerses the listener in
the cinema experience, effortlessly handling the most complex and
dialogue-intensive scenes with stunning realism, room-filling presence
and outstanding vocal reproduction and dialogue intelligibility.
Available in premium-grade piano gloss black finish and handsomely
styled with a swept back profile and striking edge treatments, the Ultra
Center will complement any high-end home theater.
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 designn is
FEA-optimizedd to maximize acoustic transparency.
UltraSonic Drivers - Extreme Performance and Uncompromised Fidelity
The SVS UltraSonic 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.
- A cast aluminum basket to ensure precise alignment of critical components and enhance heat-sinking capacity.
