Immersive three-dimensional surround sound formats such as Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X® and Auro 3D® unleash the ultimate movie, music, TV an gaming audio experience by incorporating “height effects” emanating from overhead to create a dome of sound that blankets you for a more convincing and believable performance. Prime Elevation is an optimized height effects speaker because it directly radiates full-range sound to the listener without the frequency response limitations and perfect room conditions required of prevailing “ceiling bounce” height effects speaker designs.

Prime Elevation is also a remarkably versatile, multi-purpose home theater speaker that deftly plays the role of front, center, side surround, rear surround and/or LCR speaker when ideal placement in a room isn’t possible.

SVS Takes Immersive Three-Dimensional Surround Sound to New Heights

Home theaters running Dolby Atmosphere Speakers represent the pinnacle of immersive home audio experiences. The prevailing approach to Dolby Atmos speakers, bouncing sound off the ceiling from below, requires perfect room conditions and frequency response limiting of the speaker and detracts from the experience.

An audio epiphany, Prime Elevation speaker direct radiating with the charged dynamics, pinpoint accuracy and subtle refinement of a high end bookshelf speaker. Place it high on a wall near the ceiling and height effects can be enjoyed at full fidelity in any room, without the compromises of ceiling bounce or in-ceiling speakers. Finally, a height effects speaker designed for breath-taking effects.

Dolby Atmos Speakers

Amazingly Adaptable Multi-Angle Wall Bracket Solves Countless Speaker Placement Challenges.

The specially optimized angled front baffle, precisely tuned acoustics, high-end components and innovative Multi-Angle Wall Bracket (patent pending) combine to make Prime Elevation the world’s most versatile home theater speaker. Not all rooms are designed to be perfect home theater spaces. Prime Elevation speakers easily mount to a wall or ceiling using the included Multi-Angle Wall Bracket and ceiling mount insert, so you can take advantage of every possible installation location to create the best sounding experience possible. Also included is a universal mounting option with a ¼” 20TPI brass insert that works with many other kits.

As a finishing touch, even the magnetic SVS logo on the front grille is adjustable to accommodate positioning.

One Speaker, Endless Possibilities

Here are the most common Prime Elevation applications. Its versatility as a speaker is only limited by your creativity.

Dolby Atmosphere Speakers

Down-Firing Height Effects Speaker – Placed high on a side wall, the directly radiated sound is a vast improvement over compromised “ceiling bounce” solutions.

Prime Elevation Up Firing

Up or Down-Firing Front, LCR or Center Channel Speaker - Placed above or below the viewing area, directed at listener, when placement at ear level isn’t possible.

Prime Elevation Side Firing

Side or Rear-Firing Surround Speaker - Placed on side wall for rear effects or rear wall for side effects when optimal placement is not possible.

Common ceiling placement locations for the Prime Elevation speakers include:

  • In front of the listening area with speakers angled down and towards rear of room
  • Behind the listening area with speakers angled down and towards front of the room
  • To the left and right of listening area, angled down towards the opposing side
  • Directly overhead (for what’s commonly known as “Voice of God” speaker with Auro-3D)

    height speakers

    i added two prime elevation speakers to my 1998 Bose AM-10 SVS makes it so easy to mount on the wall with the supplied brackets it is easy to hang and remove . i mounted these high on the wall in the middle of the room and maybe one day hope to get two more for the front height . i love the look and feel of the speakers not to mention they sound great. they are driven with my Onkyo tx rz-50 receiver and really fills the room with sound and adds 3-D sound to my room . It really makes movie watching fun , way better than any theater i have been to. thank you for making such a great product . they are well worth the money . my Bose am 10 speakers were $999.00 in 1998 .
