“You want – we can”. This is Sven Company’s motto, which have ten-year history of activity at the Russian market. A place of its foundation is Finland, but the main production facilities are located in Taiwan and China. However, products with this trademark can be met in more than 50 countries of the world. By the way, “sven” translated from Swedish means . Therefore, the company demonstrates considerable activity in development of the most modern technologies, maintains high European standards and at the same time its price politics is such, that its products are affordable to any consumer, because products are assembled on Asian enterprises. However, as everyone is well aware, the final quality does not suffer from it at all.

Originally, in particular in Russia, the company was oriented to produce good, but inexpensive computer periphery – speaker systems, headphones, headsets, webcams for PC, input, automatic voltage regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, batteries, surge protectors with filters, keyboards, mice and a lot of another useful and asked-for accessories. Nowadays PC and multimedia have entered practically every house and it could not but happen that the company was able to find a product market to it and, as a matter of fact, it had become in some specified sense a favorite and popular brand. I will say privately and not as advertising, but as an author of this article, that a remarkable uninterruptible power supply Pro+ 625 produced by Sven Company has helped me to work with the material. Using it I am always confident that any failure in the power supply network will not be a hindrance while operating a computer.

It is too difficult to describe, even briefly, all items produced by the company, so we decided to choose one of new products. The point is that, now many users, to say nothing of devotees, assemble real multimedia systems based on PC intended not only for work but for leisure as well. It is known that such systems are able to display any video information of any quality up to Full HD, to playback records in the most advanced formats, for example to playback Blu-ray disks and to sound both movie sound-tracks including multichannel and stereo at the Hi-Fi level. Therefore, we offer you to be acquainted with the active Sven Stream Mega stereo system as a specimen of products by Sven Company.

It is actually two big shelf monitors, cabinets of which are made of MDF and covered with black vinyl film, and sides are made of natural cherry covers. The acoustic appearance of speakers is a phase inverter. The sound is emitted by 25 mm soft tissue dome tweeter (6 Ом) and a woofer with the long-stroke diaphragm 160 mm in diameter and 4 Ohm impedance on the soft rubber suspension. The built-in power amplifier provides 120 W totally. An important feature of Sven Stream Mega is the separate amplification of frequency bands with a linear phase-frequency characteristic; this is the interface of loudspeakers on transition frequency in an active filter of the 4th order.

The purity of sound and wide stereo panorama are achieved through the amplification of every frequency channel (bi-amping circuit plus active crossover). The range being achieved by these speakers is impressive as well – the tweeter operates up to 27 kHz and the lower case must start at the depth of 35 Hz according to the specification, but that is not always provided even by huge floor-standing speakers. The speaker system can be used both in a multimedia complex on the base of PC and in the home stereo system as well – just connect your PC, MP3 player, CD or DVD player to RCA jacks. By the way, all necessary cables are included in the package of Sven Stream Mega. The system is controlled (volume, amplification of frequencies) from the front panel of the main module. The headphones jack is available there. To our opinion, it makes sense to provide the tandem with the remote control as well.

Because it is a brief excursus in the activity of Sven Company, but not an essential test, we will not describe in detail how the speaker system has proved itself in one or the other role, though of course we have listened it. But we will say certainly that the sound of the duet Sven Stream Mega have evoked our most positive emotions, but its retail price in RUB 4,400 is not only justified to the last kopeck, but it also makes think that we can get more for less.
