SVS Ultra Evolution Tower lacquered black (pack of 2)
SVS Ultra Evolution Tower: The Perfect Fusion of Design and Technology
SVS, a renowned manufacturer of high-performance speakers and subwoofers, recently unveiled its new flagship Ultra Evolution series. Among the models in this series, the Ultra Evolution Tower stands out for its innovative design and sonic performance. This 3-way floorstanding speaker embodies SVS’s commitment to audio excellence and technological innovation.
Design and Construction
The Ultra Evolution Tower boasts an elegant and sophisticated design, with a curved front baffle that ensures acoustic alignment of the drivers. This unique architecture allows the sound waves emitted by the tweeter and the midrange and bass drivers to reach the listener simultaneously, improving phase coherence and sound image precision.
The cabinet is crafted from high-quality materials, with finishes in piano gloss black, gloss white, or black oak veneer. The drivers are protected by removable neodymium magnetic grilles, while elastomer feet and metal spikes are included for optimal stability.
Driver Technology
The Ultra Evolution Tower features a 1-inch diamond-coated aluminum dome tweeter, an exclusive innovation from SVS. This diamond coating, obtained through a vapor deposition process, enhances the dome’s rigidity and acoustic properties, extending the frequency response well beyond the limits of human hearing. The result is an airy and detailed sound without distortion.
Two 4.5-inch composite glass-fiber midrange drivers are positioned on either side of the tweeter in a dedicated acoustic chamber. This configuration allows for seamless integration with the tweeter and eliminates unwanted cabinet resonances.
Four 5.25-inch woofers, arranged in a force-canceling array (two front-firing and two rear-firing), deliver deep and accurate bass while minimizing cabinet vibrations. This configuration ensures pure and faithful bass reproduction, regardless of listening level.
Key Benefits
- Elegant and sophisticated design with a curved front baffle for optimal acoustic time alignment
- Diamond-coated aluminum dome tweeter for exceptional clarity and precision in high frequencies
- Composite glass-fiber midrange drivers in a dedicated acoustic chamber for pure and detailed midrange reproduction
- Four woofers in a force-canceling array for deep and accurate bass without unwanted cabinet vibrations
- Compatibility with other SVS Prime and Ultra models for seamless integration into existing audio systems
- Premium finishes in piano gloss black, gloss white, or black oak veneer
What the press says
One can imagine that they might work well in a home theater setting where their energetic output could be very beneficial. However, when it comes to hi-fi, we would steer you towards something more balanced and higher performing in its approach.
