Prime Center: Clear Dialogue. Seamless Soundstage.

A center speaker has a challenging part to play. It has to be a soloist, delivering clear and natural dialogue across a broad soundstage. A split second later, it has to fill the role of back-up band, melding with the ambiance of the environment to contribute realism in movies and music. The Prime Center delivers on both of these demands with world-class precision via its 1 inch aluminum dome tweeter, dedicated and independently sealed 3.5 inch midrange driver and dual 5.25 inch woofers, a true three-way design that is a rarity for center channel speakers in their price class. Voicing is neutral and natural, bringing dialogue and vocals forward just enough to be clear and intelligible. Yet, when called on to play its part in transitions like a jet fighter soaring across the sky from left rear channel to front right, it blends in to create a smooth, realistic transition. Elegantly styled like its Prime siblings, the Center will look beautiful in any listening environment.

FEA and CAD Optimized Cabinet

The precision machined front-baffle chamfers were carefully engineered to reduce tweeter diffraction artifacts, while the rest of the cabinet was designed to eliminate resonances for an honest, neutral and uncolored sound. Likewise, even the grill has been FEA optimized for maximum transparency.

1 inch Aluminum Dome & FEA-Optimized Diffuser

The light, efficient, and rigid 1 inch Aluminum dome tweeter provides high SPL, minimal distortion, and a sense of utter transparency. It deploys a FEA optimized diffuser to ensure only the perfect on-axis and off-axis frequency response. That way everyone in your listening room gets the best performance. Since we share these design traits with both the Prime and Ultra speakers, both product lines can blend perfectly while offering that SVS hallmark ‘airy’ presentation and incredibly unveiled highs.

Sophisticated Crossover Design

Our exclusive SoundMatch crossover sports premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors, and heavy-trace printed circuit boards. All of these high-quality components yield lower distortion, tighter tolerances, better heat dissipation, and all around better sound. The 3-way crossover is uniquely tuned so each driver can blend perfectly with each other while offering the best on and off-axis response. Likewise, by virtue of using a dedicated mid-range driver, vocals are preserved perfectly and presented naturally and clearly for all dialog in center channel soundtracks.

Trickle Down Theory In Action – SVS Ultra Sound At A Prime Price

Borrowing heavily from the Ultra line, the Prime Bookshelf is packed with high-end technology and premium quality drivers, setting a new high-water mark for sound quality and performance value at this price point.

The crossover is the key to any great bookshelf, and our exclusive SoundMatch network is packed with quality components and exhaustive refinement for outstanding phase coherency and time domain behavior. The transition between tweeter and woofer is so smooth and seamless you’ll swear it sounds like a single full-range drive.

The front baffle of the cabinet is chamfered and the drivers are flush-mounted to reduce edge diffraction for a smooth high-end and outstanding imaging. Inside the FEA and CAD optimized cabinet is braced to eliminate resonances for an honest, neutral and uncolored midrange.

This is a great center channel for our small living room. Pairs nice with my SVS SB1000 sub and PSB bookshelves. Bigger rooms will need a bigger speaker and sub I would imagine.

Compre este Central como remplazo de un Yamaha NS-C200, en cuanto a los acabados puedo decir que los materiales son bastante buenos y la calidad se puede observar en los componentes.
Sobre el sonido en música, no acostumbro utilizar todo el sistema para música, prefiero el sonido estéreo (Definitive Technology BP8) pero en las pocas pruebas que he realizado puedo comentar que varios instrumentos suenan increíblemente claros, sobre todo guitarras.
Hablando de películas, el central hace mejor juego con mis bocinas frontales (Klipsch RF25), los efectos y las voces son mucho más claras, logrando un mejor ambiente.
El único punto a tomar en consideración en que algunas voces puedes ser un poco más brillantes de lo normal, esto no por el central, lo he escuchado en otros centrales con tweeter metálico, en mi caso lo ajuste con el uso del EQ de mi Yamaha.
Es mi segundo producto de SVS y me ha gustado bastante la calidad y el sonido.

Basic Review

Pros:

Great build quality. Very heavy cabinet not prone to stray resonates within
Still small enough to fit into most home theater cabinets
Excellent highs with clear voices and reproduction of higher frequency sounds

Cons

The midrange driver is very, very "bright" meaning it stands out from the crowd and may require turning the level down at the receiver

Detailed Review

Update:

After 15 or so movies through this speaker it has warmed up dramtically and sounds much better than it did when first out of the box. There are still a few voices or sounds within a certain spectrum that the mid range driver doesn't handle very well but overall this has been a very good addition to our home theater. It was definitely worth the money.

I bought this speaker to replace/compare with a JBL ES25C. Buying speakers is a huge gamble as always and in my metro area there is no real option other than Best Buy to trial speaker sounds and their selection is limited. I was very happy with the JBL speaker but after purchasing an SVS subwoofer I was blown away by the performance and quality. I decided to see if their center speaker would be equally as exciting.

As professional reviews note, the SVS prime speaker is very "bright" and sometimes a little too much so. We are using this speaker specifically for a surround sound setup and during the first film I had to turn it down as it was way too "in your face" for my taste. After the 4th film I noticed that it had calmed down a bit and I was able to return the speaker level to a neutral setting. I would suspect that this speaker, as with the JBL, will warm up a bit as time goes on. I spent a lot of time sitting in front of it and comparing its sound with the JBL. The SVS is more capable of hitting the clear highs and mid range sounds. I was not aware that I was missing so much of this with the JBL and went back through the Transformers Age of Extinction to see what exactly was missed. This is a very good movie for setting up speakers as it was shot in Atmos and fully utilizes every speaker at every level. I found that there were many sounds that had gone unnoticed with the JBL and were very prominent with the SVS.

My family all commented that the SVS was much clearer and voices were more distinct than any other center speaker we've tried. My personal feel is that it is too "bright" right out of the box but seems to be calming down some as time goes on. I will update this review after a few months for anyone that is interested in long term performance. There was very little on the web about the SVS speakers so it truly was a very expensive gamble. We feel that it was worth it so far. Our room is 14' x 20' x 8' and everything is run from a Yamaha Aventage receiver. Is it worth the money? I would say yes but given that it didn't hit a home run right out of the box I gave it 4 stars.

By the way a comment about SVS customer service. They are the absolute best! They are very responsive and always full of helpful information no matter what it is that you need. The service I received on the subwoofer was so good that I had no problem giving this Prime center a shot. They were right, they said it would out perform the JBL and it really does. And I was perfectly happy with the JBL.
