Description
Three-way SVS Ultra Evolution Tower speakers with sophisticated driver array and acoustically centered time alignment sets the standard for sonic excellence in its class and well beyond.
The Culmination of Sonic Obsession.
Ultra Evolution Tower 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.
The smallest of the floorstanding speakers in the flagship Series, Ultra Evolution Tower outperforms everything in its class with rich, detailed sound, commanding bass, and a broad yet precise soundstage. 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.
Acoustically Centered Time Alignment Cabinet Architecture
Curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of 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 flows from a 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.
Quad 5.25” 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. 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 4.5″ Glass Fiber Composite Midrange Drivers
Superb stiffness to mass ratio on dual driver array renders 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.
