The SVS Prime Wireless Speaker System delivers crisp, accurate and full-range sound with stunning dynamic impact and true stereo imaging. The active-passive stereo speaker array is a major enhancement over the unconvincing virtual stereo output from ordinary wireless smart speakers. Cost-no-object acoustic design is married with smartphone, tablet, and voice control via Amazon Alexa; WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, direct access to the most popular music streaming services, a wide range of inputs and outputs, high-resolution multi-room streaming, custom presets and more. From reference sound quality to the intelligent control interface, Prime Wireless is a seismic leap forward for smart wireless speakers.
Pristine sonic fidelity is achieved through a combination of true stereo separation, a powerful 200-watt (50 watts x 4) internal Class-D amplifier and a sophisticated 192KHz/24-bit DAC. A digital crossover within the DSP allowed SVS engineers to precisely control the signal power distributed to each individual tweeter and low frequency driver resulting in a much broader soundstage with deeper, more powerful bass than one would expect from such a compact speaker system.
Control of the SVS Prime Wireless Speaker system is seamless and flexible. Users can access music and adjust volume and other settings from their favorite seat or while moving around the house using the WiFi connected app. Voice control of music is possible through Amazon Alexa devices so users have a “hands-free” option for controlling volume, multi-room playback, streaming sources and more. Dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth with aptX and AAC enable high-resolution wireless streaming from multiple iOS, Android and Windows devices without interruption.
Through the DTS Play-Fi platform, the SVS Prime Wireless Speaker System gives users direct access to music and entertainment streaming sources, including: Spotify, SiriusXM, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Tidal, Internet Radio and many more. All can be streamed directly from a home’s WiFi network with no mobile device connection required. The DTS Play-Fi app also lets users access streaming services, radio guides or a home media server from any smartphone or tablet and distribute it across the home to as many as 32 different products in 16 zones. For the most discerning audiophiles, the platform features “Critical Listening Mode” for streaming lossless high-resolution (24bit/192kHz) file playback.
Abundant connectivity options in the SVS Prime Wireless Speaker System unlock endless versatility. Optical and line level inputs can be connected to computers, TVs, gaming consoles, CD players, AV receivers, mobile devices and more to provide a bolder sounding option than soundbars and a more affordable alternative to AV receiver/speaker systems. It can even serve as wireless rear surround speakers connected to a DTS Play-Fi enabled soundbar. Plus, unlike closed-network wireless audio systems, Prime Wireless integrates with hundreds of other DTS Play-Fi wireless audio products from many different brands.
For deeper bass and a more thrilling audio experience, a subwoofer output provides easy connection to a subwoofer from SVS or any other brand. A USB port allows convenient charging of mobile devices or the addition of an SVS SoundPath Wireless Audio Adapter to make subwoofer connectivity fully wireless.
“It’s no secret that the smart speaker category is dominated by a belief that no one cares about great sound and the only thing that matters is connectivity and user interfaces,” said SVS President and CEO, Gary Yacoubian. “We’re taking uncompromised, reference quality sound and marrying it with an intelligent user interface, future-facing connectivity and all the amazing things people love about wireless audio. SVS Prime Wireless delivers a truly immersive listening experience with the convenience and simplicity of smart wireless speakers so audio fans can have the best of both worlds.”
True stereo separation is vastly underrated as a factor in sound quality. Compact “all-in-one” speakers do music an injustice because the pseudo-stereo approach lacks the ability to render pinpoint imaging where instruments, voices and sound effects are heard emanating from a specific location in space. With its powerful DAC, precisely tuned digital crossover and true stereo separation from the active-passive speaker array, the Prime Wireless Speaker System presents an accurate and convincing stereo image with crisp dynamics, neutral voicing, a broad soundstage and powerful dynamics.
The SVS Prime Wireless Speaker System is many things. It can be a wireless hifi stereo system, play on a desktop with a computer or tablet, connect to a TV for more immersive home theater sound, or be used as part of a multi-room, whole-home audio system. Users can also leverage multiple connections at once and use the Prime Wireless Speaker System as the primary source of audio playback in a smart wireless audio zone.
