SVS Ultra Bookshelf, Center, Surround

Description

High-end home theater sound SVS is best-known for their high-performance, high-value subwoofers . They’ve taken that same winning formula of rigorous engineering and top-quality components, and applied it to their flagship Ultra series. With extra attention to both cosmetic and functional detail, the Ultra line gives you beauty and flexibility. Dipole/bipole design in the Ultra Surrounds give this system particularly enveloping sound effects. Mastering the science and art of speaker design SVS begins the speaker design process with extensive computer modeling, which helps them zero in on the right driver, crossover, and cabinet characteristics. Then, like other world-class speaker companies, they test each design in an anechoic chamber, which eliminates the effects of room reflections, to ensure highly accurate measurements. The third and most critical step involves lots of listening. SVS’s listening room was specifically designed to resemble a typical living room. The engineering team listens to familiar tracks over and over, working toward sound that is both accurate and emotionally engaging. This is where the art of listening balances out scientific measurement. SVS designs every driver in-house While many companies build their speakers using off-the-shelf components, SVS designs all their drivers in-house. This is a huge advantage because it gives them complete control over how the drivers, crossover, and cabinet interact. SVS’s 1″ aluminum dome tweeter is fitted with a special diffusor that keeps high frequencies sounding clean and clear, even when you crank up the volume. Smart, solid construction Pick up one of the SVS Ultra speakers and you’ll be surprised by how solid and heavy it feels. Each cabinet is made of sturdy MDF, with an extra-thick front baffle and internal bracing to control unwanted vibrations. Those tapered edges on the front baffle are called chamfers. They reduce edge diffraction for clearer, more precise soundstaging. (They look cool, too.
