The SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers have been designed with an uncompromising focus on achieving cost-no-object audio performance and build quality, resulting in a groundbreaking bookshelf loudspeaker. Each design element has been scrutinized and countless innovations have been implemented, along with world-class build materials, to deliver reference sound quality and stunning dynamics typically only found in the most expensive speakers worldwide.

These speakers can handle anything from the warm and inviting sound of vinyl to the demanding, multi-layered soundtrack of an action movie, providing a powerful and convincing audio experience that is among the best audio investments available at any price point. Every aspect of the Ultra Bookshelf speakers has been painstakingly engineered and tested, from the drivers and crossover to the build materials and cabinet design, to ensure reference sound quality is achieved. The result is an uncompromising approach to loudspeaker design that delivers exceptional audio performance.

Ultra Driver & Tweeter Design

With their composite glass-fiber cones, the 6.5-inch mid-bass drivers of the Ultra Bookshelf speaker are an impressive addition to any home audio system. The cones provide an excellent stiffness to mass ratio, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and voicing that is transparent and completely faithful to the source material. These capable drivers deliver an accurate tonal balance with effortless authority and dynamics, faithfully rendering the varied nuances of musical instruments and dialogue, as well as the sonic impact of sound effects and movie scores. The Ultra drivers’ pinpoint accuracy ensures precise imaging and a massive soundstage that elevates the listening experience to new heights.

The Ultra Bookshelf speaker’s aluminum dome tweeter enhances high frequency performance by offering pristine neutrality and revealing sound. The tweeter is light, efficient, rigid, and impervious to distortion even at high sound pressure levels. It provides an “airy” presentation of vocals and unveiled highs that compare with the best tower and bookshelf speakers in the world. The FEA-optimized diffuser ensures broad dispersion for an incredibly wide and convincing soundstage, with perfect on- and off-axis frequency response, so that everyone in the room can experience the same stunning clarity. Overall, these features ensure the Ultra Bookshelf speaker delivers outstanding audio performance that is second to none.

Innovative SoundMatch Crossover Design

The SVS SoundMatch two-way crossover is an innovative design that spared no expense. Its unique topology creates a broad, yet focused and precise soundstage that offers accurate frequency response and imaging at all listening positions. The SoundMatch crossover has been precisely tuned to ensure balanced output across the entire frequency range, from sparkling highs to the crystal clear and commanding midrange, down to visceral and authoritative bass. This attention to detail ensures that every note and sound is reproduced faithfully and accurately, resulting in an unparalleled listening experience that is sure to impress even the most discerning audiophiles.

Performance Driven Cabinet Design and Geometry

The design of the Ultra Bookshelf speaker cabinet has been carefully considered with a focus on optimizing sound performance. The tapered edges on the cabinet’s front baffle, also known as chamfers, have been implemented to minimize edge diffraction and improve soundstaging clarity and precision. The interior of each cabinet is also divided into separate sub-enclosures for the mid-bass driver and tweeter, which helps to optimize performance and reduce interaction between the drive units. Every feature of the cabinet has been thoughtfully designed to contribute to the speaker’s overall exceptional sound quality, ensuring that the Ultra Bookshelf speaker delivers the highest level of audio performance possible.

Meticulous, Innovative Design Process

At SVS, the same level of meticulous attention is devoted to crafting every speaker, regardless of its price or form factor. This process is a perfect union of exacting science and a passionate expression of technique and love of great sound.

Before any model is constructed, our acoustic engineers use sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) processes to theoretically design the drivers and cabinets. Afterward, prototypes are measured and optimized in an anechoic environment to achieve pitch-perfect frequency response. Once the ideal theoretical frequency response is achieved, exhaustive listening and measurement tests are conducted in calibrated listening rooms that closely resemble typical home environments.

The result of this process is a speaker that measures well with near-perfect frequency response in real-world conditions, but is also optimized to sound exceptional on a human level through listening tests with real music and cinematic content. This approach ensures that the SVS speakers deliver a truly remarkable and unparalleled listening experience that is sure to impress even the most discerning audiophiles, in any real-world listening environment like your home.
