Product Information

The Foundation for High-End Home Theaters

The Ultra Center Speaker anchors the front stage and immerses the listener in the cinema experience, effortlessly handling the most complex and dialogue-intensive scenes with stunning realism, room-filling presence, and outstanding vocal reproduction and dialogue intelligibility. Available in premium-grade piano gloss black and real black oak veneer finishes and handsomely styled with a swept-back profile and striking edge treatments, the Ultra Center Speaker will complement any high-end home theater.

Dramatic Styling Yields Sonic Benefits

The Ultra Center Speaker cabinet design yields numerous sonic benefits. The non-parallel cabinet panels reduce standing waves within the cabinet, effectively eliminating frequency response coloration. The wedge-shaped front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improved on-axis high frequency response. Even the grille design is FEA-optimized to maximize acoustic transparency.

SVS Drivers Extreme Performance and Uncompromised Fidelity

The proprietary SVS drivers utilize the finest materials and design features to ensure the highest sound quality and performance. The Ultra Center Speaker driver array features a 1" aluminum dome tweeter, a 4" midrange driver, and dual 6.5" woofers. The vertically aligned tweeter and midrange improves horizontal axis polar response, with reduced lobing and comb filtering for a smooth frequency response and excellent dialogue intelligibility at all listening positions.

1” Aluminum Dome Tweeter

  • Utilizes an FEA-optimized diffuser which delivers a very open 'airy' presentation and extremely unveiled highs
  • Delivers a sound stage so pure and free of artifacts that you'll swear the performers are in the room

4” Midrange Driver

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

6.5” Woofers

  • Delivers amazing dialogue clarity and detail with powerful room-filling presence and projection
  • Long-stroke motor and suspension for low distortion and high output capability
  • Heavy-duty voice coil for enhanced power handling and thermal management
  • Vented voice coil former to minimize air compression artifacts at high drive levels
  • Aluminum shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and improve high frequency response

SoundMatch Crossover Intelligently Designed for Your Listening Room

The SoundMatch 3-way crossover features premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors, and heavy-trace printed circuit boards to ensure pure signal transmission. Careful selection of the crossover frequency and slopes results in a smooth off-axis polar response, outstanding phase coherency, and a stable soundstage. Naturally the SoundMatch crossover network also features premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors, and heavy-trace printed circuit boards to ensure pure signal transmission.

Excellent looks and sound
Another excellent speaker from SVS. I bought this to upgrade/replace my old JBL center so I could move that one to another TV room. This SVS center sounds clearer and has more "fullness" that I didn't realize my old center was missing. It really helped to round out the front stage. I am very happy with the sound quality and can't wait to upgrade the rest of my surround speakers in the future.

SVS Ultra Center is Outstanding!
The SVS Ultra Center is outstanding! It replaces an SVS Prime Satellite as my prior center channel speaker. I purchased the Ultra Center mainly to improve the dialog that I sometimes had trouble hearing in movies. I'd often turn on captioning to understand some dialog. Now, turning on captioning is a thing of the past! The Ultra Center is crystal clear, sounds very natural and non-fatiguing, and has a wide dispersion (I don't have to sit in a "sweet spot"). It also makes all of the other speakers in my ATMOS setup (I've, additionally, got two Prime Elevation speakers) sound better! I'm very pleasantly surprised at the bass handling capacity of the Ultra Center. Now that everything sounds so natural and clear at reasonable listening volumes, the movies are far more engaging. Had I known earlier that adding the Ultra Center would improved my movie watching experience so greatly, I would have purchased it a long time ago. Well done SVS.

*Larry David voice* "Prettaayy, prettaay good"
Love it. I don't really care about "timbre matching", but it blends with my Prime Towers really well. Great dynamic range, full, and a full, warm sound overall. A little $$, but worth it to me.

Ultra Center is a beast!
The Ultra Center is an amazing speaker. It gives super clear dialogue and awesome sound in music. The Center channel is super important in Dolby Surround for movies and TV and you can't get better than the SVS Ultra Center. And the SVS customer service is the absolute best. You get 45 days to try it in your setup and you know why? Because SVS knows that once you hear it you will want to keep it. I did.

A major upgrade
I had thought my old center speaker was pretty good, but compared to the SVS, it was a night and day comparison. Aside from dialogue being more present, the depth and base response is quite impressive.
