SVS Ultra Surround Bipole/Dipole Speakers - Pair - Black Oak Veneer

SVS Ultra Surround Bipole/Dipole Speakers - Pair - Black Oak Veneer

The SVS Ultra Surround speaker brings the excitement of surround sound to your home with exceptional clarity and impactful dynamics. Its sleek design makes it effortless to mount and features dual isolated SoundMatch crossovers, which allow it to function as either a bipole or dipole speaker.

SVS has masterfully combined innovative engineering and intelligent design to create the Ultra Surround home theater speakers. Expertly acoustically tuned to integrate flawlessly with all models in the SVS Ultra and Prime series speaker lines, the Ultra Surround delivers an immersive audio experience that transports you directly into the heart of the onscreen action. With a vast soundstage and the ability to render even the smallest details with precision and spatial imaging, this speaker is sure to elevate your home theater experience to new heights.

The SVS Ultra Surround speaker is designed with dual isolated SoundMatch two-way crossovers for each tweeter and woofer, making it capable of operating in bipole, dipole, or SVS Duet Mode. The unique Duet Mode allows for the creation of two separate speakers in a single cabinet, allowing for true 7 channel surround sound with only 5 full-range speakers.

To achieve cost-no-object audio performance and build quality, every design element of the SVS Ultra Surround speaker was carefully scrutinized. The result is a groundbreaking home theater surround sound speaker that delivers reference sound quality and stunning dynamics, typically reserved for the world's most expensive speakers. With countless design innovations and world-class build materials, the Ultra Surround speaker is capable of delivering powerful and convincing audio experiences, whether playing the aggressive, multi-layered soundtrack of an action movie or the understated effect of rain falling all around the listener.

From the drivers to the crossover and cabinet, each component of the Ultra Surround speaker is meticulously engineered and tested to achieve breathtaking realism, ensuring that you can enjoy an unparalleled audio experience in your home theater.

Ultra Driver & Tweeter Design

The SVS Ultra Surround speaker boasts dual 5.5-inch mid-bass drivers with glass-fiber cones that offer excellent stiffness to mass ratio, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and transparent voicing that remains true to the source material. These drivers are capable of delivering precise imaging and a massive soundstage, whether they're conveying subtle surround effects or head-spinning sonic impact, such as explosions happening behind you.

The Ultra Surround speaker's aluminum dome tweeter is equally impressive, with pristinely neutral and revealing high-frequency performance. The tweeter is light, efficient, rigid, and impervious to distortion, even at high sound pressure levels, resulting in airy and unveiled highs that rival the best home theater surround sound speakers in the world. The tweeter diffuser is optimized with FEA to provide broad dispersion, ensuring a wide and convincing soundstage with perfect on- and off-axis frequency response. This creates the largest possible "Sweet Spot" for surround effects, allowing everyone to be equally immersed in the onscreen action.

Innovative SoundMatch Crossover Design

The SVS SoundMatch two-way crossover is an innovative feature that was designed with no expense spared. Its unique topology delivers a broad yet focused soundstage with accurate frequency response and imaging at all listening positions. You can clearly sense the directionality of sound coming from different places around you. Additionally, the crossover enables the SVS's innovative Duet Mode, allowing you to effortlessly switch from 5.1 to 7.1 or 7.1 to 9.1 without the need for additional surround sound speakers. The precise tuning of the SoundMatch Crossover ensures balanced output throughout the frequency spectrum.

The Ultra Surround speaker also offers maximum placement flexibility. It comes standard with a wall-mounting bracket, or you can easily place it on a speaker stand. This allows you to customize your home theater setup to fit your unique space and preferences.

Performance Driven Cabinet Design and Geometry

The cabinet of the Ultra Surround speaker was designed with sonic performance as the top priority. The cabinet's front baffle features tapered edges, known as chamfers, which minimize edge diffraction and result in clear and precise soundstaging. The internal structure of each cabinet features separate sealed enclosures for both mid-bass drivers and tweeters, which optimize performance and minimize interaction between the drivers. Even the grille design was optimized with FEA to maximize acoustic transparency, ensuring that nothing interferes with the speaker's sound quality.

Meticulous, Innovative Design Process

All SVS speakers, regardless of price or form factor, are crafted with a meticulous attention to detail that combines the precision of scientific design with a passionate expression of technique and a love for great sound.

Before a new model is ever constructed, its drivers and cabinets are designed using the most advanced computer-aided design (CAD) processes available. Prototypes are then painstakingly measured and optimized in an anechoic environment to ensure pitch-perfect frequency response. Once the ideal theoretical frequency response is achieved, extensive listening and measurement tests are conducted in listening rooms calibrated to closely resemble typical home environments.

The result is a surround sound speaker that delivers near-perfect real-world frequency response while also being optimized to sound amazing on a human level. This is achieved through extensive listening tests with real music and cinematic content, in real-world listening environments just like yours.
