Crossover & Cabinet Specs:
- Crossover: 3-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors, and heavy-trace printed circuit board
- Tweeter-to-Midrange crossover: 2.2 kHz
- Midrange-to-woofer crossover: 450 Hz
- Cabinet: Time-aligned cabinet geometry introduces microsecond-level time delays between the drivers, ensuring that the effective-acoustic-center of each driver is equidistant from the listener. The result is improved linearity and directionality throughout the crossover frequencies, and a more accurate soundstage.
- Vertically Aligned Tweeter-Midrange array creates perfect on and off-axis frequency response and blending for clear vocals and the largest possible “Sweet Spot” ensuring transparency and clear vocals at every listening position.
- Dual 6.5" woofers drive deep, accurate bass for the most demanding center-channel content.
- 4.5" midrange driver in a dedicated acoustic-suspension sub-enclosure ensures pristine midrange output and blending with woofers and tweeter.
- Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improve on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response
- Extra-thick 1” (25mm) driver baffle ensures a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers.
- FEA-optimized ¾” (18mm) cabinet construction, extensive bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncolored response, even at the highest drive levels.
The Culmination of Sonic Obsession.
SVS Ultra Evolution Center speaker represents the culmination of SVS breakthroughs in driver design, component materials, and cabinet architecture, married with a relentless passion for audio excellence. The science of Sonic perfection in Harmony with a love of convincing and Immersive sound.

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 a semi-random pattern derived from organic cell structures to improve off-axis response and maximize the listening "sweet spot."
