SVS Ultra Center Speaker

Reference 3-way Ultra Center speaker anchors the front stage of a home theater with stunning dynamics, massive soundstage and pristine clarity for unerring realism and dialogue intelligibility. The 3-way design with 1-inch dome tweeter, 4-inch vertically-aligned midrange driver and dual 6.5-inch woofers produces outstanding dispersion characteristics for accurate frequency response at all listening positions.

The reference 3-way SVS Ultra Center channel speaker reproduces the most demanding movie and music content with depth, clarity and vigor, while serving as the main soundstage anchor and critical sonic bridge between the front left and right speakers in a surround sound home theater. Amazingly detailed and revealing of the finest nuance and textures with excellent low frequency extension, the SVS Ultra Center combines power and precision to outperform much larger and more expensive center channel speakers.

Built without compromise, the SVS Ultra Center speaker features a painstakingly tuned SoundMatch three-way crossover with dual 6.5-inch glass fiber composite woofers and a vertically aligned 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and 4-inch midrange driver. From the acoustically enhanced cabinet geometry to the high-end components and build quality, the Ultra Center is a star among home theater speakers.

• Aluminum dome delivers exceptional transient response and exceptional stiffness/mass ratio

4” Midrange Drivers:

• Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond pass band
• Aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and enhance high frequency response
• Cast aluminum basket to ensure precise alignment of critical components and additional heat-sinking capacity
• Vented voice coil former to minimize air compression artifacts at high drive levels

6.5” Woofers:

• Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond pass band
• Aluminum shorting rings to reduce gap inductance and lower distortion
• Cast aluminum basket to ensure precise alignment of critical components and additional heat-sinking capacity
