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

Excellent in every regard
Ordered these to serve as my front wall-mounter Atmos speakers and they have been everything I hoped for. We have white walls and I was hoping white speakers would blend in a bit, and they do exactly that. The gloss finish, while not necessary for my application, does look high-end. Sonically, these are perhaps a touch bright for me (less so after a short run-in period of perhaps an hour) but a quick run through with DIRAC had them blending in with the rest of my speakers very nicely. The compact size is ideal for placement high up on a wall without drawing the eye. However, in spite of the compact size, the ported design does allow for reasonable bass extension for a speaker so small. I get good imaging and separation, though those types of characteristics are always a little challenging to identify when a speaker is given such an odd placement. Nonetheless, they seem to handle their duties with ATMOS movies and music admirably.

Prime elevation for height speakers
First off, these are beautifully crafted small height speakers that sound amazing. Height channel sounds can be minimal but I’m glad I chose these for those sounds

Sexy
Amazing! Bought 4 (piano white) to have proper speakers for immersive surround sound like atmos / dts x movies. It is a massive difference than upfiring speakers. Shouldve upgraded sooner. I have my front 2 high on ceiling and rear 2 hanging from ceiling. Easioy driven by my Yamaha AVR Aventage RX3050.

Elevation Speakers
I’m using them as rear channels to replace my Energy rear channel speakers. What a major improvement in sound. I’m using them downward and the sound is amazing!
