Description
Flagship SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle speaker is an innovation tour-de-force standing toe-to-toe with the finest speakers in the world delivering high-fidelity sound for both two-channel audiophiles and home theater fans.
The Culmination of Sonic Obsession.
Ultra Evolution Pinnacle 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.
Never has this fusion of design elements existed in a single speaker. Acoustically centered time alignment, diamond coated aluminum dome tweeters, force-balanced woofer array and other advancements embody an uncompromising approach to floorstanding speaker design Acoustic innovations are brought to life with painstaking anechoic and real-world measurement and voicing. This final bit of artistry places Ultra Evolution Pinnacle among the highest fidelity tower speakers ever created.
Acoustically Centered Time Alignment Cabinet Architecture
Curved front baffle aligns all drivers 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. Midrange drivers and woofers positioned above and below the tweeter allow for seamless crossover blending to create an idealized “point-source” where sound emanates from single point in front of the speaker to optimize dispersion characteristics.
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 listening sweet spot.
Quad 8” Glass Fiber Woofers in Force-Balanced Array
Dual opposing active woofers on the top and bottom of the cabinet render effortless low frequency response while addressing room modes with deep, authoritative bass is evenly spread throughout the listening area.
Mechanical energy from each front-firing woofer is equaled inside the cabinet by the rear-firing woofer eliminating mechanical coloration for pure, accurate low frequencies at any playback level.
Dual 5.25″ Glass Fiber Composite Midrange Drivers
Superb stiffness to mass ratio on dual driver array conveys stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy.
Unrelenting Attention to Detail
Separate, acoustically tuned internal chambers for the woofers and midrange drivers optimize separation and eliminate any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum.
Uncompromising 3-Way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Subtle musical details are rendered with breathtaking clarity, while massive dynamics radiate with weight and control from the highest to lowest octaves. Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.
