13 Ultra Driver – Optimized For Sealed Applications
SVS optimized the famous Ultra 13 driver for a sealed application by revising the motor geometry and adding a unique voice coil along with a custom gap extension plate. The result is higher thermal power handling, a more symmetrical force/displacement profile, lower distortion, and increased linear stroke. Only SVS is willing to push the envelope this far to achieve the SB13-Ultra performance goals.
