Additional Features That Make a Difference

Neodymium Magnetic Grilles: Easy to remove, yet secure, these grilles protect the drivers while keeping the speaker's aesthetic intact.
Elastomer Stick-On Bumper Feet: These feet isolate the speaker from the surface it rests on to reduce unwanted resonance.

II. Design and Build Quality

The SVS Ultra Evolution Center Speaker impresses with its sleek aesthetics, offering finishes like piano gloss black and real black oak veneer. The robust construction is evident in its weight and the use of premium materials. Time-aligned cabinet geometry and faceted angles not only contribute to its visual allure but also serve to reduce diffraction, enhancing sound quality.

III. Technical Specifications

This center channel boasts a frequency response of 40Hz to 40kHz, ensuring full-spectrum sound reproduction.

Its driver and crossover design, featuring dual 6.5” woofers and a 4.5” midrange driver, underpin its acoustic prowess. Connectivity is robust, with dual gold-plated 5-way binding posts complementing its technical capabilities.

IV. Features

SVS utilizes a diamond-coated aluminum dome tweeter and an organic cellular lattice diffuser to deliver refined high frequencies. The 3-way crossover system ensures seamless integration of these drivers, yielding a coherent and dynamic sound.

V. Sound Performance

The Ultra Evolution Center Speaker is engineered for pristine clarity and engaging dynamics. Its vertically aligned tweeter-midrange array creates a broad sweet spot, ensuring consistent sound across the room.

As part of the Ultra Evolution series, it promises seamless integration with sibling speakers for a harmonious home theater setup.
