Product Description
SVS Ultra Surround Dipole speaker delivers energised dynamics and rich soundstage delivering seamless sonic transitions and authentic home cinema surround sound effects with impressive impact. Twin isolated tweeter and woofer crossovers enable bipole, dipole or SVS Duet Mode (2 speakers in a single cabinet) so users can jump from 5.1 to 7.1 and beyond with no additional speakers required.
Ultra Driver Design
Twin exceptionally rigid 5.5" mid-bass drivers with glass-fibre cones process room-filling low frequency and midrange playback for enhanced sensitivity and voicing that’s clear and totally faithful to the source material. Whether conveying the nuance of subtle surround effects like a door closing or the roaring sonic impact of an explosion happening behind you, Ultra Surround drivers deliver pinpoint accuracy with precise imaging and an expansive soundstage.
FEA-Optimised Tweeter
Augmenting high frequency performance, the Ultra Surround speaker’s aluminum dome tweeter is pristinely neutral and revealing. Light, efficient, rigid and impervious to distortion even at high sound pressure levels, the tweeter’s airy, unveiled highs compare with the best home theater surround sound speakers in the world. The FEA-optimized tweeter diffuser ensures broad dispersion for a wide and convincing soundstage and perfect on- and off-axis frequency response. This means the largest possible “Sweet Spot” for surround effects so everyone can be equally immersed with what’s happening onscreen.
Two-Way SoundMatch
The unique SoundMatch topology reveals an expansive yet focused soundstage with exact frequency response and imaging at all listening positions. Users clearly sense the directionality of sound from all around. The crossover supports SVS’s innovative Duet Mode for jumping from 5.1 to 7.1 or 7.1 to 9.1 with no additional surround sound speakers. The precise tuning of the crossover ensures balanced output throughout the frequency spectrum. Ultra Surround speaker, supplied with awall-mounting bracket as standard, can just as easily be placed on a speaker stand for optimum placement flexibility.
Cabinet Design and Geometry
The chamfer (Tapered edges) on the cabinet’s front baffle lower edge diffraction for pure and precise soundstaging. Inside, each cabinet hosts separate sealed enclosures for both mid-bass drivers and tweeters to optimise performance and minimise interaction. Even the grille design is FEA-optimized to top acoustic transparency.
Press Reviews
