The Culmination of Sonic Obsession.

SVS Ultra Evolution Nano represents the culmination of SVS breakthroughs in driver design, component materials, and cabinet architecture, married with a relentless passion for audio excellence. The science of sonic perfection in harmony with a love of convincing and immersive sound.

Capable of highly engaging and detailed sound with bold dynamics and bass you would expect from a much larger speaker, Ultra Evolution Nano delivers audiophile sound and versatile placement options. Perfect as a stereo pair in a small to medium sized room or as front LCR or surround speaker in a home theater.

Never has this fusion of design elements existed in a single speaker. Time aligned cabinet geometry, diamond coated aluminum dome tweeters, organic cellular lattice diffuser, and other advancements embody an uncompromising approach to speaker design.

These innovations are brought to life with painstaking anechoic and real-world measurement and voicing. This final bit of artistry places Ultra Evolution Nano among the highest fidelity compact speakers ever created.

Our mission has always been to ignite a passion for transcendent music and home theater experiences by rendering the truest sonic playback.

The joy of pristine clarity, absolute transparency, stunning dynamics, and effortless bass for more people than ever. SVS Ultra Evolution Nano deeply connects you to the emotion of sound.

Ultra Evolution Nano Speaker Owner's Manual

Inspired Design, Reference Performance.

Time Aligned Cabinet Geometry

Curved front baffle aligns the acoustic center ofthe tweeter and wooferon a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant. 

Maximizes phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.

Diamond Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeter

Through a process called Vapor Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminum dome tweeters to vastly improve rigidity and acoustic properties.

This breakthrough in material science raises the frequency response well beyond the limits of human hearing resulting in effortless, airy, and unveiled highs with no measurable distortion.

The diamond coating also pushes low frequency extension of the tweeter deeper for more seamless blending with the midrange.

Organic cell lattice tweeter diffuser protects the dome and employs semi-random pattern derived from organic cell structures to improve off-axis response and maximize the listening “sweet spot.”

5.25" Glass Fiber Composite Mid-Woofer

Superb stiffness to mass ratio conveys stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy, and deep, accurate bass.

Unrelenting Attention to Detail

Acoustically tuned enclosure optimizes low frequency tuning and eliminates any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum.

Uncompromising 2-Way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Subtle musical details are rendered with breathtaking clarity, while massive dynamics radiate with weight and control from the highest to lowest octaves.

Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.

Chamfered front baffle minimizes edge diffraction for optimal off-axis frequency response.

  • Long stroke motor and suspension for high output.
  • Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond passband.
  • Precision-cast aluminum alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.
  • Vented aluminum voice coil former to maximize thermal control while minimizing air compression artifacts at high drive levels.

Crossover & Cabinet Specs:

Crossover:

  • 2-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors, and heavy-trace printed circuit board
  • Tweeter-to-Woofer crossover: 1.9 kHz

Cabinet:

  • Time-aligned cabinet geometry introduces microsecond-level time delays between the drivers, ensuring that the effective-acoustic-center of each driver is equidistant from the listener. The result is improved linearity and directionality throughout the crossover frequencies, and a more accurate soundstage..
  • Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improve on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response.
  • Extra-thick 1” (25mm) driver baffle ensures a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers.
  • FEA-optimized ¾” (18mm) cabinet construction, bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncolored response, even at the highest drive levels.

    Phenomenal little speakers

    I replaced a pair of B&W CDM-1 SE's that I loved.

    The tweeter in one of the CDM speakers failed. B&W no longer makes these tweeters, so they can no longer be replaced. I purchased a tweeter that fit the speaker, which really didn't do it for me.

    I should have spent a few months less, just replacing them with the Nano's.

    I bought a pair of Nano's and put one in to replace the speaker that had a failed tweeter. There was no comparison, all I can say is that the Nano easily bested the B&W and made my decision easy. I purchased the B&W speakers 25 years ago for about $3,000. I replaced them today with a pair of $900 speakers.

    I have them coupled with a Micro 3000 sub and that combo is a phenomenal solution for a small room!

    By the way, the tweeters that SVS uses in their Ultra line can't be beat and the mid-range 5.5" speakers in the Nano's offer a ton of power and dynamics for their size.

    I don't know if I would have tried this if I didn't already own a pair of their Ultra Evolution Pinnacle speakers, which are by far my favorite speakers ever, including some I had in the past, which cost 5 times as much,

    SVS Ultra Evolution Nano

    Not only are the speakers great, the customer service of SVS is top notch. Had a small issue with my wireless pro sound base and they were awesome. Customer service was quick to respond and resolve the issue. Jonathan West was the best.

    Great rear surround speaker.

    Very pleased with this for rear speakers. Great sound and would definitely recommend. Still getting system and room configured. Had new system about 1 month.

    Great for Surrounds

    I ordered and received 4 of the Nano's for my surrounds and rear surround speakers. Ordering from the website was easy and painless. The Nano's in piano gloss white are exquisite to look at and sound even better. Exactly the size I was looking for and they really provide that airy spatial sound yet at the same time a deep natural tone.
