## Overview

The SVS Prime Center Speaker in Premium Black Ash is a high-performance, true 3-way center channel speaker featuring a 1” aluminum dome tweeter, dedicated 3.5” midrange, and dual 5.25” woofers. Designed to deliver crystal-clear dialogue and rich, immersive sound across a wide 48Hz-25kHz frequency range, it supports amplifier power from 20 to 200 watts. Its vertically-aligned drivers eliminate common audio distortions, ensuring consistent clarity from any listening position. Housed in a heavy, resonance-resistant cabinet with a sleek finish, it’s engineered for serious home theater enthusiasts seeking premium sound and style.

## Description

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 Speaker delivers on both of these demands with world-class precision via its 1” aluminum dome tweeter dedicated and independently sealed 3.5” midrange driver and dual 5.25” 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. Superior Technology and Design - Amazing Sound and Performance Borrowing liberally from the flagship Ultra Center the Prime Center channel features a true 3-way center channel with a vertically-aligned tweeter and midrange driver. This eliminates comb filtering and lobing in the horizontal axis – resulting in crystal clear dialogue at all listening positions in the room. Now everyone will have a ‘sweet spot’ and won’t have to strain to hear dialogue. The dual 5.25” woofers deliver a full and rich sound doing full justice to deep male voices and delivering plenty of punch on special effects. And to make sure those beefy woofers can’t modulate the delicate and critical midrange frequencies the midrange driver is mounted in its own dedicated and completely sealed compartment. Available in premium-grade piano gloss black or handsome black ash finish the Prime Center is handsomely styled and tells the world you’re serious about high performance home theater

Review: A very good center speaker! - 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.
Review: Solid speaker with wide sound - Good detailed dialog. Warmer than klipsch 504s, which are quite bright. Has great sound distribution beyond 90° axis (better than the 504s. Matched well with 6.5" klipsch atmos towers. Would be nice to see the 2 ports in the front instead of back, but overall it's a solid speaker.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone confirm the speaker height for me?  Amazon says 7.0 inches but the SVS website says 7.7 inches.  Thanks.**
A: Thanks for your question. Dimensions (H x W x D): 7.7" x 18.6" x 9.2".

**Q: I am a novice in the audio world, therefore dumb questions. so, no hdmi port on the svs prime and no posibllity of better audio out of my lg oled.**
A: Thanks for your question. The best way to improve the sound of any TV is by adding a sound bar which directs the sound into the room and may offer surround effects. The alternative to a soundbar is a multi channel Audio Video receiver and multiple connected speakers.

**Q: May i know the manufacturing location and manufacturing date, if i order now? Thanks**
A: I believe that is a question from the manufacturer.  You can go to the S.V.S web site to get the answer you're looking for.  I know I have the center channel and 2 book shelves with 4 Bose corner speakers and a powered subwoofer and I fined the sound great for the price!!!

**Q: May i know the manufacturing location and manufacturing date, if i order now? Thanks**
A: Manufacturer is SVS from Ohio.
