SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

Introducing the Ultra Evolution

The Culmination of Sonic Obsession & Unrelenting Attention to Detail

SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf speaker 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.

With a big, expansive sound that’s revealing and detailed, Ultra Evolution Bookshelf gives the impression of a much larger speaker without sacrificing refinement or accuracy.

Never has this fusion of design elements existed in a single speaker. Time aligned cabinet geometry, diamond coated aluminium dome tweeters, organic cellular lattice diffuser, and other advancements embody an uncompromising approach to speaker design. These innovations are brought to life with painstaking anechoic and real-world measurement and voicing. This final bit of artistry places Ultra Evolution Bookshelf among the highest fidelity speakers ever created.

SVS's mission has always been to ignite a passion for transcendent music and home theatre experiences by rendering the truest sonic playback.

The joy of pristine clarity, absolute transparency, stunning dynamics, and effortless bass for more people than ever. SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf deeply connects you to the emotion of sound.

Inspired Design, Reference Performance.

 

Time Aligned Cabinet Geometry
Curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of the tweeter and woofer on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant.
Maximises phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.
Diamond Coated Aluminium Dome Tweeter
Through a process called Vapour Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminium 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 maximise the listening “sweet spot.”

6.5" Glass Fibre Composite Mid-Woofer
Product Features - Unrelenting Attention to Detail
Acoustically tuned enclosure optimises low frequency tuning and eliminates any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum.
Uncompromising 2-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.
Precision-cast aluminium-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximise thermal dissipation.
Chamfered front baffle minimises edge diffraction for optimal off-axis frequency response.
Neodymium magnetic grilles
Stunning Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White, and Black Oak Veneer Finish

Drivers

1” Diamond Coated Tweeter
FEA-optimised Organic Cell Lattice Diffuser for airy, unveiled highs and pristine clarity.
Cutting-edge vapour-deposition grows a hyper-rigid diamond-like coating on an aircraft-grade aluminium dome, pushing high-frequency extension further beyond human hearing, and delivering best-in-class fidelity, linearity, and transient response.
Silver tinsel leads for optimal signal transfer and power handling.

6.5” Woofer

Long stroke motor and suspension for high output.
Composite glass-fibre cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behaviour beyond passband.
Precision-cast aluminium alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximise thermal dissipation.
Vented aluminium voice coil former to maximise thermal control while minimising air compression artifacts at high drive levels.

Crossover

2-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors, and heavy-trace printed circuit board
Tweeter-to-woofer crossover: 1.8 kHz

Cabinet

Time-aligned cabinet geometry introduces microsecond-level time delays between the drivers, ensuring that the effective-acoustic-centre of each driver is equidistant from the listener.   The result is improved linearity and directionality throughout the crossover frequencies, and a more accurate soundstage.
Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improve on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response.
Extra-thick 1” (25mm) driver baffle ensures a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers.
optimised ¾” (18mm) cabinet construction, bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncoloured response, even at the highest drive levels
