SVS SVS Ultra Evolution Center

United States flag

Flagship reference 3-way SVS center speaker delivers pristine clarity and powerful dynamics with astonishingly large sweet spot for the finest home theaters


Inspired Design, Reference Performance.

Time Aligned Cabinet Geometry

Curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of the tweeter and mid-range on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant.


Maximizes phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.


Diamond Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeter

Through a process called Vapor Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminum dome tweeters 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.


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.”


3-Way Crossover Design with Vertical Tweeter Midrange Array

Uncompromising 3-Way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Subtle musical details rendered with breathtaking clarity, massive dynamics radiate with weight and control from the highest to lowest octaves.


Precisely tuned crossover frequencies and slopes between tweeter, midrange, and woofers result in truthful phase coherency and a precise, robust soundstage.


Enhances on- and off-axis frequency response ensuring transparency and clear vocals at every listening position. Largest “sweet spot” possible.

Glass Fiber Composite Midrange Driver and Woofers

Superb stiffness to mass ratio conveys stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy throughout the middle octaves where most sound is present.


Rich, effortless bass from composite glass-fiber cone with custom surround for peak sensitivity and excursion.


Unrelenting Attention to Detail

Separate, acoustically tuned internal chamber for the midrange optimizes separation and eliminates any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum.


Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.


Chamfered front baffle minimizes edge diffraction for optimal off-axis frequency response.


Neodymium magnetic grilles


Stunning Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, and Black Oak Veneer Finish
