Precision-Engineered Drivers

At the heart of the Ultra Evolution Nano lies a meticulously engineered driver array. The speaker features a 5.25-inch midrange driver, which utilizes a glass fiber composite cone chosen for its optimal balance of stiffness and mass. This ensures dynamic and accurate sound reproduction across the midrange frequencies. Complementing the midrange driver is a sophisticated 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter coated with diamond. A layer of diamond carbon is deposited onto the surface of the aluminum dome, enhancing its rigidity and acoustic properties. The result is an extended high-frequency response, delivering airy and detailed highs with minimal distortion.

Acoustically Optimized Cabinet Design

SVS has paid meticulous attention to the design of the Ultra Evolution Nano’s cabinet. The speaker features a chamfered front baffle, which minimizes edge diffraction and ensures an optimal off-axis frequency response. The internal chambers of the cabinet are acoustically tuned to eliminate resonances and coloration, preserving the purity of sound across the entire frequency spectrum.

Crossover and Connectivity

To ensure seamless integration of the drivers, SVS has implemented a precision 2-way crossover in the Ultra Evolution Nano. The crossover incorporates premium-grade components, including high-quality capacitors, inductors, and resistors. This attention to detail ensures a smooth and coherent transition between the midrange driver and the tweeter, resulting in a balanced and natural sound.

Versatile and Immersive Sound

With a frequency response spanning from 44 Hz to 40 kHz (+/-3 dB), the Ultra Evolution Nano delivers a surprisingly wide and detailed soundstage. The speaker’s nominal impedance of 6 Ω and sensitivity of 85 dB make it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, allowing you to achieve excellent performance with modest power requirements.

Whether you’re listening to your favorite music recordings or immersing yourself in a captivating movie soundtrack, the Ultra Evolution Nano delivers a convincing and engaging listening experience. The speaker’s precise imaging, tonal accuracy, and dynamics bring your audio to life, transporting you to the heart of the performance.
