zZounds Gear Experts Say...
ProTech driver protection system. Rugged protective steel corners and grills. 50-20kHz frequency response (+/-3dB).

The SVP12 SVP stands out as the best value in a professional sound reinforcement loudspeaker. Genuine Wharfedale Pro cast-frame woofers, high-efficiency compression driver, Elliptical Waveguide (EWG) technology and Protech driver protection all ensure that your sound will stand out from the competition.

Elliptical waveguide
The series has been built around the development of an exceptional new compression driver, combined with an elliptical waveguide that brings unprecedented sound quality and performance to this product class. High output capability and low distortion with excellent high frequency extension characterize these new drivers.

Protech driver protection system
Each crossover in the SVP Series is built using the highest quality components and designed specifically for that system. All feature the Protech driver protection system designed to protect the HF driver against damaging signals caused by overloading, seamlessly returning the system to normal operating levels.

Trapezoidal design
The enclosures are lightweight yet tough. The trapezoidal design gives low resonance and sonic accuracy in the low frequency range as well as allowing more compact multiple arrays for higher output and wider coverage.

Durable black carpet
The low-resonant enclosures are finished in durable black carpet covering, with rugged steel corners and protective grills. They also incorporate metal pole stand adapter and two 1/4 inch jack sockets.
