Description

SVS Prime Pinnacle Floorstanding Speaker

The SVS Prime Pinnacle Floorstanding Speaker is the ultimate expression of what SVS sought to create with the Prime Series loudspeakers is epitomized in Prime Pinnacle. Audiophile refinement and musicality without sacrificing wide dynamic range, deep, effortless bass and all the excitement of a world-class loudspeaker.

SVS acoustic engineers spent more time voicing Prime Pinnacle than any speaker in SVS history, in large part to create a loudspeaker that was equally suited to meet the demands of both discerning audiophiles and hardcore home theater fans. To go even further, Prime Pinnacle’s cabinet design was made to blend seamlessly and sound amazing in any listening environment.

World-class performance in both a two-channel HiFi stereo or an immersive home theater surround sound system, Prime Pinnacle is unrivaled in its class and well-beyond.

All-new driver array features first-ever 5.25-inch midrange and triple woofer design with 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter for revealing highs with deep, room-energizing bass and crisp dynamics at all listening levels. SoundMatch 3-way crossover maintains pinpoint accuracy and silky-smooth transitions with expansive soundstage and precise imaging for largest “sweet spot” possible.

FAQ’s

1. What driver configuration is used in the Prime Pinnacle speaker? The Prime Pinnacle features a true 3-way design with a dedicated midrange driver, separate tweeter, and multiple bass drivers. This layout allows each driver to focus on a specific frequency range, resulting in cleaner mids, clearer vocals, and more controlled bass response.
2. How does the Prime Pinnacle perform across different volume levels? The speaker is engineered for low distortion and high dynamic capability, so it maintains clarity and balance at both low and high listening levels. Even when pushed harder, sound remains composed and detailed rather than compressed or harsh.
3. Are the Prime Pinnacle speakers suitable for both music and home theatre systems? Their wide frequency response and neutral voicing make them equally effective for two-channel music listening and multi-channel home theatre setups. They integrate seamlessly with centre channels and subwoofers for consistent tonal balance across the system.
4. What amplification requirements do the Prime Pinnacle speakers have? The Prime Pinnacle is designed to be amplifier-friendly and works well with most modern AV receivers and stereo amplifiers. While higher-quality amplification can unlock additional headroom and control, the speakers do not require high-power or specialty amps to perform well.
5. How does cabinet and crossover design contribute to sound quality? The cabinet is heavily braced to reduce unwanted resonances, helping keep sound clean and accurate. Advanced crossover design ensures smooth driver integration and consistent frequency response, which contributes to precise imaging and a natural, balanced soundstage.

Features

Audiophile Refinement. Breathtaking Home Theater Dynamics.

Design innovations in the Prime Pinnacle speaker harness qualities both discerning audiophiles and home theater fans will delight over. All-new driver array is optimized for massive dynamics and incredibly refined output while the cost-no-object cabinet design and materials, sophisticated components and inspired acoustic engineering combine for a floorstanding speaker that stands alone at its price and well beyond.

All-New 5.25″ Midrange Driver with Composite Glass-Fiber Cone

Delivers pinpoint accuracy and broad soundstage for more immersive audio experiences. The majority of audio content in music and movies is present in the midrange frequencies so it’s imperative to have a driver capable of producing slam and impact as well as subtle details with tonal accuracy. Prime Pinnacle’s midrange borrows design elements from the reference Ultra Series to deliver uncompromised audio performance at all drive levels.

Premium 1” Aluminum Dome Tweeter

Renders crystal clear highs with lifelike realism even at reference volume. Light, efficient and impervious to distortion, the tweeter’s airy’ presentation effortlessly reveals every sonic detail with pristine clarity and unerring accuracy. The FEA-optimized diffuser ensures broad dispersion for a wide and convincing soundstage with pinpoint on- and off-axis frequency response so everyone in your room is treated with the same amazing audio experience.

Trio of 6.5” High-Performance Woofers

Effortless low frequency output and impressive deep bass extension from three 6.5” woofers lays the sonic foundation for all audio content.

Engineered to convey the full thrill and excitement of cinematic blockbusters yet refined enough to handle the pluck of a bass guitar string and subtlest musical details with convincing realism, Prime Pinnacle delivers an amazing full-range listening experience with all audio content.

By using three smaller woofers, each with its own 2-inch port, the new floorstanding speaker effortlessly conveys low frequency output while maintaining a slim profile that fits in any room or system.

Three Unique Port Tuning Frequencies

Individual tuning frequencies and separate sub-enclosures for the trio of woofers epitomizes the no compromise design approach taken with Prime Pinnacle. This design ensures all drivers blend seamlessly together so you get silky-smooth transitions from the midrange driver to the woofers as well as accurate frequency response, amazing refinement and crisp speed in transients; all without sacrificing deep, room-energizing bass.

SVS SoundMatch 3-Way Crossover

Creates an expansive soundstage with accurate frequency response and precise imaging for largest “sweet spot” possible.

The 3-way crossover is uniquely tuned so each driver, from tweeter to midrange and midrange to woofers, blend seamlessly with each other while offering excellent on and off-axis frequency response and pinpoint spatial imaging for the most convincing audio experience possible.

The crossover’s topology and architecture are consistent with all SVS speakers so Prime Pinnacle is timbre matched to integrate with any speaker from the acclaimed Prime or Ultra Series for the ultimate flexibility when building a system.

Sonically Inert and Rigidly Braced Cabinet

Four self-contained, acoustically tuned internal chambers eliminate any potential for resonances or sonic artifacts from the enclosure, resulting in pristine audio playback across the frequency spectrum. Tapered edges on the Prime Pinnacle speaker’s front baffle, known as chamfers, minimize edge diffraction for a clear and precise soundstage while features like shorting rings and tweeter diffusers provide acoustic enhancements with modern, high-end visual appeal.

Lifestyle-Friendly Footprint

Fits seamlessly in any room layout or décor. Slim enough to place next to furniture or near a wall, yet spacious enough to produce effortless output and reference sound quality, Prime Pinnacle delivers jaw-dropping performances in stereo and home theater systems from a classically handsome tower speaker design.
